history

Former Castle chapel of the Holy Cross Bernhardswald

Until the 19th century

Bernhardswald was first mentioned in a document in 1362. Other places in the parish are older.

First documentary mentions of the parts of the municipality (year):

  • Wolfersdorf: 1137
  • Hauzendorf: 1140/50
  • Kürn: 1143/46
  • Wulkersdorf: 1268
  • Pettenreuth: 1285
  • Wolferszwing: 1325
  • Lambertsneukirchen: 1326
  • Adlmannstein: 1334

In 1394 the rule over the castle Kürn passed to the Paulsdorfer and after the extinction of the noble family (1623) in 1649 it came to the von Stingelheim. This was in their possession until it died out in 1826.

On September 12, 1504, the decisive battle in the Landshut War of Succession took place near Bernhardswald on the so-called Hafenreuther Feldern near Schönberg . In 1825 the Kürner Castle burned down and was rebuilt in classicist forms. It has been in the possession of the Counts of Walderdorff since 1830 .

In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, the municipal edict of 1818 created today's municipalities, such as Bernhardswald, Adlmannstein, Hackenberg, Lambertsneukirchen, Hauzendorf, Plitting, Kürn and Pettenreuth.

In Bernhardswald, Hackenberg, Hauzendorf and Kürn there were patrimonial courts of the 2nd order. In Bernhardswald the patrimonial court was administered by the first class patrimonial court ( lordship court ) in Schönberg of the princes of Thurn and Taxis . These last remnants of aristocratic rule were abolished in the 1848 revolution .

20th and 21st centuries

In 1913, Bernhardswald received a railway connection through the construction of the now closed Regensburg – Falkenstein railway.

At the end of the Second World War in April 1945, the death marches of concentration camp prisoners began from the Flossenbürg concentration camp to the Dachau concentration camp. A death march took prisoners through the community between April 20 and 24, 1945. In the forest area in jacket 15 prisoners were shot. In 1945 or 1946 parts of the dissolved community of Kreuth were incorporated. On January 1, 1972, the previously independent communities Adlmannstein , Hackenberg (with parts of the Lambertsneukirchen community, which was dissolved on October 1, 1926 ), Hauzendorf (with the remaining parts of the Lambertsneukirchen community, which was dissolved on October 1, 1926, and in 1945 or 1946 incorporated parts of Plitting ), Kürn and Pettenreuth (with the territorial parts of Plitting incorporated on April 1, 1949). Parts of the area of ​​the dissolved community of Wulkersdorf were added on January 1, 1974.

In the past decades, Bernhardswald has developed from an agricultural place to a residential community through the designation of building land and investments in infrastructure. Important goals of the community are currently investments in renewable, environmentally friendly energy, energy-saving technology, the further development of the infrastructure and broadband supply. Between 1988 and 2018 the municipality grew from 4,349 to 5,438 by 1,089 inhabitants or 25%.
