history

District Office

The district office of Rehau was formed in 1862 through the merger of the district courts of the older order Rehau and Selb .

On the occasion of the reform of the layout of the Bavarian district offices, the Rehau district office ceded the municipalities of Autengrün , Fattigau , Förbau , Oberkotzau and Schwarzenbach an der Saale to the Hof district office on January 1, 1880 .

On July 1, 1919, the city of Selb left the district office and became part of the district.

district

On January 1, 1939, the uniform imperial designation Landkreis was introduced. This is how the district office became the district of Rehau. On April 1, 1940, the independent city of Selb was incorporated into the Rehau district, but this was reversed on April 1, 1946.

On July 1, 1972, the district of Rehau was dissolved as part of the regional reform in Bavaria .

The town of Rehau and the communities Draisendorf , Faßmannsreuth , Fohrenreuth , Kautendorf , Martinlamitz , Nentschau , Neuhausen , Pilgramsreuth , Prex , Quellenreuth , Regnitzlosau , Schwesendorf and Wurlitz were integrated into the district of Hof .
The cities of Hohenberg an der Eger and Schönwald as well as the communities of Erkersreuth , Heidelheim , Längenau , Lauterbach, Mühlbach , Neuhaus , Oberweißbach , Selb-Plößberg , Silberbach , Spielberg , Unterweißbach and Vielitz were added to the district of Wunsiedel .

The district office building on Martin-Luther-Strasse, built in 1968, was used as a branch of the Hof district office until 1978 after the district was dissolved. Today the official building houses the town hall of Rehau.

License Plate

On July 1, 1956, the district was assigned the REH distinctive sign when the vehicle registration number that is still valid today was introduced . It was issued until April 30, 1973. Since July 10, 2013, due to the license plate liberalization, it has been available again in the Wunsiedel district in the Fichtelgebirge, and again in the Hof district since August 4, 2014.

The distinctive sign REH is also used in the ZDF feature film series Tannbach - Destiny of a Village for vehicles from the Federal Republic of Tannbach. Whereby the real Tannbach , which marks the course of the inner-German border in the middle of Mödlareuth and is therefore not in the former district of Rehau, but in the old district of Hof (until July 1, 1972).
