Reichenhall County

Local history representation of a "Grafschaft Reichenhall" within the northern Salzburggau

" Grafschaft Reichenhall " is sometimes used to refer to a medieval territory within the former Salzburggau , which is said to have extended in the Saalachtal into the early 11th century over the area of ​​the present-day urban and rural communities of Bad Reichenhall , Schneizlreuth and Bayerisch Gmain in Upper Bavaria . In the form of “Grafschaft Salfeld, or Reichenhall”, also “Grafschaft an der Sa (a) le”, the term appears in the literature of the early and late 19th century, but also in local history. In more recent literature, the name appears only in Fritz Hofmann . The only evidence, albeit from a representation from the early modern period, is Georg Trauner : Description of the arable goods in the court and the county of Reichenhall from 1555. There are no sources for the existence of a county of Reichenhall that are closer in time . Only one of the archbishopric of Salzburg awarded, in their function not exactly elusive Hall County , that is a salt County with the salt production in competent Reichenhall officials is about to prove from 1077/80. It possibly fell back to the Bavarian Duke Heinrich the Lion as early as 1169, at least for a time , but in 1218 at the latest the Hallgrafschaft was finally confiscated by Duke Otto I , which then turned into an approximately 140-year-old era "which has now become a myth that is unrealistic due to a novel-like exaggeration" Hallgrafen would have ended in Reichenhall.
