history

Until the church is planted

Eslarn can look back on over 750 years of history due to its first documentary mention in 1240 in Nordgau (Bavaria) . In the place was an iron hammer that perished in the Thirty Years War . Already at the end of the 15th century the place had market rights with extensive magistrate's own rights. Elector Friedrich V of the Palatinate confirmed the market rights in 1598 and awarded a coat of arms. The place has been known as the market since 1613. He later belonged to the Amberg Rent Office and the Treswitz Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria . The municipality was created through the municipal edict of 1818 .
