history

The place is one of the numerous ham places along the Wolfach , the name of which suggests that it was a question of fiscal property that was cleared and settled for the most part only after the transfer of the Bavarian ducal estate to the Frankish king in 788.

Around 1200 a Walchunus de Rotenberc appeared, who named himself after the Rothenberg Fortress. Around 1209 Alram and Albert von Hals of the Kamm family took possession of their uncle's inheritance. A document from 1241 gives some information about the complicated manorial affiliation of the Rothenberg lordship to which Bergham belonged.

In 1371 Peter Tuschl from the Tuschl family appears as the owner of the two Bergham festivals. Since the end of the 14th century, the Lords of Rottau, who called themselves Rottauer von Bergham, can be proven to have owned the Hofmark Rothenbergham. The ownership later passed to the Pienzenauer and then to the Nussdorfer, which can be proven for the last time in 1558. They were followed by Hans Offenhaimer zu Seibertsdorf, who was followed by the Lords of Schwabach, the Barons of Astenhaim and finally the Barons of Ginsheim on Schwindach.

In the neighborhood of Hofmark Rothenbergham, Hofmark Bergham and Sachsenham was established. Heinrich Tuschl von Söldenau determined in his will in 1376 Wilhelm and Stephan the Mautner zu Katzenberg and Protzk von Wolfenberg as heirs of Bergham. They sold the festivals with other goods in 1378 to the dukes of Bavaria. The castle on the hill to the east above the church was destroyed by the Swedes in the Thirty Years' War in 1648. In contrast to Söldenau , the Hofmark Bergham and Sachsenham remained in ducal ownership until the 19th century.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Bergham became part of the municipality of Sachsenham. With this it came to the municipality of Haarbach in the course of the regional reform in Bavaria on February 1, 1970. At the 1987 census, Bergham had 127 inhabitants.
