history
Berneck, Bischofsgrün, Goldkronach, Himmelkron, Lanzendorf, Nemmersdorf and Streitau belonged to the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Kulmbach during the Reformation . The Reformation was introduced by George the Pious in 1528. At that time, Marktschorgast belonged to the Bamberg monastery with the Gefrees branch . In 1532 the Margrave Georg Gefrees succeeded in breaking away from Marktschorgast as an independent parish and introducing the Reformation. Marktschorgast remained Catholic and is now a diaspora community. The pastor's office is shared with the traditionally Protestant community of Streitau.
