history

Until the church is planted

The oldest evidence of human settlement in the municipality is a well-preserved stone ax from the Neolithic Age , which was found in the municipality of Münchenreuth and can be viewed in the Bavarian Vogtland Museum in Hof. Feilitzsch is called "Feilsch (Veilsch)" in dialect by his and the inhabitants of the area. It is assumed that this refers to the noble family von Veilsdorf , who were enfeoffed with land between Hof and Thuringia by the bailiffs of Weida in the 12th century in order to build a moated castle there. In the 12th century there were probably moated castles in the area of ​​today's Brauhausgasse in Feilitzsch and on the Burgstall (today Insel) in Zedtwitz.

Feilitzsch was first mentioned in a document in 1390. There was a knight's seat of "Hans Reymboth" and another one of "Jung Hans von Feyltsch" and "Ulrich von Feyltsch" (ancestors of the noble family von Feilitzsch, which still exists today ) as well as 13 farms owned by farmers ("Cunrad Weiß, Fritz Pöler, Hans Neubauer , Hans Smid ”(Schmidt),“ Heinrich Bezold, Nicol Köppel, Heinrich Frank, Cunrad Smid, Merkel and Spitzbarth ”). The document lists a moated castle as the seat of "Hilpald", a Vorwerk and two courtyards ("Hanns Keil, Nickel Koch") and other properties ("Otto Puchbach, Walter Fritz, Berchthold, Nickel Krug, Götz Flecklein, Walther Alt, Hans Peyer ”and“ Heinrich Vetterlein ”). The municipality part of Münchenreuth is also called "bey Munchenreuthe" with a chapel. Knight Peter von Zedtwitz handed the palace in Münchenreuth over to his son Konrad in 1398.

In 1421 there was a chapel near Feilitzsch, which was looked after by a priest from Hof. Either the Hofberg (former quarry) or the Bühl (Am Bühl / Mittelweg) is assumed to be the location. There are also chapels for Zedtwitz and Münchenreuth in that year. The manor in Münchenreuth passed to Friedrich von Beulwitz in 1488 .

The castle in Zedtwitz came from the noble family Zedtwitz to the noble family von Feilitzsch in 1502 . Feilitzsch came with the Reformation in 1529 to the parish Trogen with parish seat in Hof . The previous (Catholic) chapels in Feilitzsch, Münchenreuth and Zedtwitz were no longer used and left to decay. Several members of the von Feilitzsch family supported the Reformation with considerable funds and had correspondence with Martin Luther . In 1546 there were three manors in the village of Feilitzsch, the Untere Gut, the moated castle dating back to the 12th century in the area of ​​the present Brauhausgasse, the Middle Gut in the area of ​​today's Gutshof including the Schlösslas and the Obere Gut. All were owned by the von Feilitzsch family. In the following year the Untere Gut came to the von Watzdorf . Abraham von Feilitzsch sold the goods in Zedtwitz and Schollenreuth to Utz von Ende in 1577, while Sigmund von Feilitzsch sold the upper estate to his brother-in-law Wilhelm von Dobenck in 1577 . Dietrich von Feilitzsch bought the Untere Gut back in 1591.

In 1604 the property in Münchenreuth passed to Adam and Christoph Carl von Reitzenstein . During the Thirty Years' War a riding company of the Prince of Anhalt moved into quarters on January 1, 1632 on the side of the Swedish troops in the municipality of Zedtwitz. Four months later, on May 6, 1632, Swedish troops had to be quartered in the entire municipality. Seven months after the first occupation, the "Corb Axel Holck" arrived in Feilitzsch on August 9, 1632. This robbed, looted, marauded, confiscated horses and wagons of the residents and spoiled the grain in the fields. On September 29, 1633 these events were repeated, but this time by imperial troops who invaded from Schleiz . On February 6, 1634 Croatian troops looted Zedtwitz. The Oberist Peter Reuschel bought the Zedtwitzer Castle in 1638. Up until 1650 there were repeated looting. The peace of Munster and Osnabrück in 1648 hardly changed that.

The middle estate burned down in 1714 and was no longer rebuilt. In 1717 the Zedtwitzer castle was sold to privy councilor Erdmann von Stein , who had it converted into a baroque castle in 1718. Adam Ernst Erdmann von Feilitzsch from the Unteren Gut bought the Obere Gut back from the von Dobenck family in 1735 and thus united the goods. Ten years later, Ludwig Ernst von Feilitzsch demolished the Upper Gut and replaced it with the current baroque building of Feilitzsch Castle in the central district. In 1775 the property in Münchenreuth passed to Georg Heinrich Lazarus von Feilitzsch. With the Principality of Bayreuth , the manor of the Barons von Feilitzsch fell to Prussia in 1791 . In 1806 it came to France through the Peace of Tilsit and became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1810 .

In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, the municipality was created with the municipal edict in 1818, which existed until 1978.

19th century

The remains of the ruined moated castle in Zedtwitz were demolished in 1839. From 1844 to 1851, the Leipzig – Hof railway line was built by Feilitzsch as part of the Saxony-Franconian Magistrale , and in 1883 the Feilitzsch railway station was opened above the castle. Although Feilitzsch belonged to Bavaria, the Sachsen-Franken-Magistrale railway line was operated from Hof ​​by the Saxon Railway. A postal expedition was set up the following year .

20th and 21st centuries

The steam engines found their way into Feilitzsch around 1900. The industrial age began there. The sausage factory Wolfgang Franz and the mechanical twisting mill Friedrich were operated with steam engines. With the Potsdam Agreement , Feilitzsch belonged to the immediate border area . So Feilitzsch was cut off from the northern hinterland. In June 1973 the Feilitzsch station was closed to passenger traffic. However, it remained staffed to operate the barrier system on the HO1 district road crossing the station and was the takeover point for the interzonal trains of the Deutsche Reichsbahn from the Gutenfürst border station . In 1978 an association secondary school was set up for the communities of Töpen , Feilitzsch, Trogen and Gattendorf . The new town hall, built in 1983, is the seat of the Feilitzsch administrative association . In October 1989 the Feilitzsch station became the first West German stop for special trains of the GDR citizens who had fled to the German embassy in Prague to get to the Federal Republic of Germany.

On September 15, 2006, the Feilitzsch railway stop was opened a little to the east of the former station, so that after 33 years, passenger trains stop in town again.
