history

The dean's office Naila has its roots in the margravial Brandenburg superintendent's office in Hof . This was set up in 1558 to organize the Protestant church system. After Naila and the surrounding area became Bavarian in 1810 together with the Margraviate of Bayreuth , the Bavarian deans of Hof , Steben and Ludwigsstadt were established on the territory of the Brandenburg superintendent of Hof in 1815 . The seat of the deanery in Steben was moved to Naila in 1894. Since then, the deanery has had its current name.

Today the parish office in Hof is responsible for the administrative affairs of the parishes of the Naila deanery .

In the vicinity of Schwarzenbach am Wald in particular, several Pentecostal communities influence church life.
