history

Bersbuch is mentioned for the first time in a bull of Pope Innocent IV on September 17, 1249.

The mess chapel in Bersbuch was built in 1672 (under pastor Jodok Zündt; † May 25, 1685).

In 1775, pastoral care in Bersbuch was combined with that in Andelsbuch and separated from the parish of Egg . An independent pastoral care, as aimed at by some Bersbuchers at the end of the 18th century, has not yet been realized.

The Bersbuch ski club was founded in 1936 (the Andelsbuch ski club was founded in 1926).
