history

Breitenegg is named after the Breitenegg castle ruins , which are located in the southeast of the district on a mountain peak protruding into the valley of the Bachhaupter Laber; the Lord von Breiteneck, first mentioned in 1247, sat here. The small imperial rule of Breitenegg changed hands several times and was owned by the Tilly family from 1624 to 1744, most recently by Baron von Gumppenberg . In 1792 it finally fell to the Bavarian Elector Karl Theodor . The castle had been in decline since the Thirty Years' War . At the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, the village of Breitenegg consisted of seven properties, namely the farmer Gabler, 4 Köblers and 2 cottagers.

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806), the Kemnathen tax district was formed, which also included the village of Breitenegg. With the second community edict in 1810/20, it became the rural community and finally the community of Kemnathen. With the regional reform in Bavaria , the community, and with it Breitenegg, was incorporated into the market in Breitenbrunn in the Neumarkt district on January 1, 1978.

In 1925, Breitenegg had 49 residents in ten residential buildings. In 1950 there were 64 residents and eleven residential buildings, in 1987 61 in 17 residential buildings. By 2012 the population had risen to 81.
