history

The first mention was in 1325 in the Urbar of the Bishopric of Bamberg under the Office Steinach as "vischbach".

Fischbach was in the border area between the Hochstift and the Margraviate Kulmbach-Bayreuth. In 1398 the tithe also belonged to Kulmbach . In 1372 no noble landlords had ruled the village. From around 1450, the Franconian knight dynasty von Waldenfels owned the village. A chapel was built around 1500. On June 8, 1582, a major fire destroyed the center of the village. The line of those von Waldenfels died out in 1618. Fischbach came into the possession of the von Guttenberg family around 1600 . In 1738 the von Reitzenstein family finally acquired the manor Fischbach, which was in debt . They lived in the Upper Castle next to the church until 1917 and the Lower Castle to the west. In Fischbach there was a complicated mixture of different ownership and feudal rights . The knightly place was the seat of a patrimonial court .

Fischbach largely belonged to the Principality of Bayreuth , which became the property of the Electorate of Bavaria in 1810 . In 1837 the political municipality of Fischbach was established.

In 1862 the rural community of Fischbach was incorporated into the newly created Bavarian district office Stadtsteinach . It consisted of ten places, the parish village of Fischbach, the three villages of Hinterstöcken, Staibra and Wüstbuch, the five hamlets of Allern, Dobrach, Grundmühle, Stüben and Tauschendorf and the wasteland of Planersgut. In 1871 the village had 345 inhabitants. The evangelical parish and the evangelical denominational school were in the main town. Most of the residents were employed in basket weaving, followed by agriculture. On the occasion of the reform of the layout of the Bavarian district offices, the Stadtsteinach district office ceded the municipality to the Kronach district office on January 1, 1880. In 1900 the 820 hectare rural community had 750 residents, 726 of whom were Protestant and 24 were Catholic, and 126 residential buildings. The parish village had 371 residents and 61 residential buildings. It belonged to the Catholic parish in Kronach, 5.5 kilometers away. In 1925, 392 people lived in 65 residential buildings in the main town and 824 people in the community.

In 1950 the Fischbach community consisted of ten towns with a total of 909 inhabitants. The parish village had 515 inhabitants with 74 residential buildings. In 1961 490 people lived in 91 residential buildings in the main town and in 1970 it had 507 inhabitants. With the incorporation of the community of Wötzelsdorf , consisting of the villages of Wötzelsdorf and Horlachen, the hamlet of Vorderstöcken and the wasteland of Grünlinden, on January 1, 1972, the community of Fischbach had 1106 inhabitants. In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality of Fischbach was incorporated into Kronach on May 1, 1978. In 1987 the parish village of Fischbach had 663 residents and 191 residential buildings with 253 apartments. The 14 places of the former municipality had 1217 inhabitants.

A school is first recorded for 1582. Presumably it already existed in 1548. A new, small one-story schoolhouse was built in 1583 opposite the rectory, which was followed by a two-story new building in 1755 at the same location, which was expanded in 1866. The fourth schoolhouse was inaugurated on May 26, 1913. Initially it had two large schoolrooms, after an expansion in the early 1960s there were three. In 2000 the school location Fischbach was closed.

Attractions

Parish Church of St. James

Evangelical Lutheran Parish Church of St. James

The core of the Evangelical Lutheran parish church of St. James was built around 1500 as a chapel. At first it was a branch of the Catholic parish Stadtsteinach. In 1523 a Jakobskirche in Fischbach was mentioned for the first time. In 1548 the Lords of Waldenfels introduced the Reformation . In addition, an independent Protestant parish was established. Conversions followed in 1589 with an extension of the nave , in 1660 with the demolition and new construction of the church tower and in 1701/1703 with the renewal of the roof structure and redesign of the interior. The church is a hall building . The church tower is located on the southern section of the west facade. The church stalls date from 1603, the font around 1670. The baroque pulpit altar was built in 1703 by the workshop of the margravial court sculptor Elias Räntz from Bayreuth .

The Upper Castle was first mentioned in 1452. It is a three- story hipped roof building that was built over an older core after 1525. A three-storey tower with a hexagonal floor plan and a curved, slotted hood characterizes the eastern front of the building. Alterations were probably carried out by Hans Friedmann from Küps after 1600. The external shape has remained unchanged since 1720.
