history

The ending -reuth of the place name Frankenreuth indicates an early development of the place before the 13th century. The places with the place names ending in -reuth, -rieth, -ried, -richt (earlier spellings: -riut, -rivt, -rewt, derived from "clearing", "clearing") emerged in connection with the first settlement of the area by clearing the dense forest. Places with such names occur very often in the area of ​​the rivers Pfreimd and Luhe and the adjacent streams. These were the starting point for the settlement of the region.

The rich deposits of feldspar and quartz as well as the forest (potash was extracted from the wood) favored glass production. The first glassworks in Frankenreuth existed in the middle of the 16th century. As early as 1487, a glassworks near Waidhaus was built by Hans Gläser. In the Frankenreuth glassworks, slug panes and later hand-blown mirror glass were produced. This glassworks went down in 1621 during the Thirty Years War . At the beginning of the 18th century, Franz Ferdinand Alois Schedl founded a new glassworks, the Schedlhütte, which existed until 1926.

Information about the situation in the 18th century is provided by: a tax description from 1773/74, a list of herds from 1762, the general files from 1792, a description of the direct subordinates of the court and the backers from 1808, the house and rustic tax cadastre from 1810/11, the The original cadastre from 1840 and the register of the diocese of Regensburg from 1782. In these documents, the Frankenreuth estate was described as belonging to the Treswitz nursing office . At that time Frankenreuth was in the Vohenstrauß district, belonged to the Waidhaus community and had two properties and a shepherd's house. In addition, a glassworks and a mill belonged to Frankenreuth.

Zacharias Schedl von Greifenstein was a toll clerk and magistrate in Waidhaus in the 18th century. He had built a special glass factory on his estate in Frankenreuth. On May 4, 1796, he was granted the freedom of the landed people. As a result, he acquired lower jurisdiction over his landholders , a tavern keeper and a farmer. Schedl also owned several houses in which his day laborers and glassmakers lived for rent.

1809 Frankenreuth was a closed district where Zacharias Schedl of Greifenstein a patrimonial four land-owning tenants had. Zacharias Schedl von Greifenstein was granted jurisdiction for life in 1807 by special grace. However, his application for the establishment of a second class patrimonial court was rejected. After his death, the jurisdiction over Frankenreuth fell to the state.

In 1808 tax districts were formed. The village of Frankenreuth, together with the hamlet of Reichenau and the desert areas of Kühmühle, Richterhaus and Speckermühle and the village of Waidhaus, belonged to the Waidhaus tax district. The Waidhaus tax district belonged to the Vohenstrauß regional court.

Markets, rural communities and village communities emerged from the tax districts . In 1821 Frankenreuth was an indirect patrimonial rural community with 26 families.

In 1830 Frankenreuth was incorporated into Waidhaus.

The Frankenreuther glassworks in the 19th and 20th centuries

Until 1850 the landowner Johann Baptist von Schedel (other spelling: Schedl) ran the Frankenreuth glassworks. Then Gressmann & Co. leased the hut for six years.

In 1856 the Jewish glass entrepreneurs Moritz and Alois Kupfer took over the lease. In the following years, the Kupfer family gradually bought the factory buildings, the administrator's house, the workers' houses, the Pocherhaus in Grafenau , the manor house, the brewery, the inn and the associated areas. The glassworks was modernized and expanded. Towards the end of the 19th century, 195,000 raw glasses were delivered annually to the surrounding grinding and polishing works, the workforce consisted of 70 workers, and the annual production was 200,000 marks. After the long-time factory director Josef Kupfer died in 1898, the glassworks went into decline under his successor Max Kupfer. Numerous rescue attempts under Eduard Kupfer resulted in the union of the Frankenreuther Glashütte with the Bavarian mirror and mirror glass factories in 1907. The First World War , inflation and an expensive but failed attempt at modernization led to the closure of the glassworks in 1926 and subsequent deterioration.
