history

The Förtsch were ministerials of the whale pots . Since 1244 they have been called Thurnau after their seat of power, which they had previously taken. Wolf Förtsch has for the rule Thurnau after lengthy disputes with the Margrave of Bayreuth , the high courts get back, but as bayreuthisches fief. On February 2, 1546, the Reformation was introduced in Thurnau, Berndorf, Limmersdorf and Peesten . The Förtsch died out on Good Friday 1564. The widowed Anastasia is settled with money by the three daughters. Ursula was married to Hans Friedrich von Künsberg and Barbara to Hans Georg von Giech zu Buchau. A condominate was formed . At that time the Giech had their headquarters in Buchau. They introduced the Protestant faith in their parishes: 1530 in Krögelstein, 1536 in Buchau, 1538 in Azendorf and around 1550 in Oberbrunn. The Counter Reformation took place temporarily in Buchau from 1629 to 1649, and finally in Oberbrunn in 1630. Hutschdorf, Kasendorf, Langenstadt, Trumsdorf and Wonsees belonged to the Principality of Bayreuth during the Reformation and became Protestant in 1528. Weismain was a Bamberg parish. It came into the possession of Bayreuth during the Second Margrave War and only became Protestant temporarily until the reconquest in 1553.

In 1678, the Lords of Giech set up a consistory for their parishes, which at that time formed their own regional church . It had its own church ordinance and its own hymn book. In the Bavarian period from 1810, the regional church became a deanery. With its establishment on December 7, 1810, the Greek parishes were joined by the Bavarian parishes. Between 1815 and 1853, the Bavarian parishes had been separated because there were disputes regarding the subordination of Thurnau to the Bayreuth consistory.
