history

The Slavs , who had settled in the Upper Franconian region since the 6th century and from whom the place owes its name, disappeared from written history in the second half of the 11th century.

In 1392 Döhlau was first mentioned in Landbuch B, and in 1398 the local mill. A gypsum mine had been located in Oschenberg since 1735 and was finally closed in 1998. Under the code name “Blick” there was a secret underground supplier for the Air Force in the Third Reich .

In 1896 Döhlau received a stop on the Bayreuth – Warmensteinach railway line . In 1948 it was expanded to include two private transfer tracks for plaster, which were used until 1964. Coming from the mine, a double-track wagon train led to the reloading facility. In 1971 the school house was closed. On May 1, 1978, the previously independent municipality, which also included the districts of Erdelberg , Görau , Hilpertsgraben and Höflas , expired . In the course of the regional reform it was assigned to the market Weidenberg. In 2016 the place had 190 inhabitants.
