history

Various finds from the Mesolithic period such as microliths , fragments of stone axes and stone arrowheads were found in the Guntersriether Flur , but these do not prove any permanent settlement in the area. The localization of a settlement very close to the place as well as a grave with grave goods tells of settlers in the Bronze Age . The origin of the presumably early medieval settlement probably goes back to the clearing of a "Gunder". Around 1300 there was in "Guntersreut" according to the land register of the Provosty of Hersbruck a large farm (curia maior), a small farm (curia minor) and five Huben , which the taverns of Reicheneck viewed as their property, which led to repeated disputes with the abbess of Bergen . In the “Bohemian Salbüchlein” (1366) a courtyard and six hubs are mentioned. The Guntersriether participated very actively in the construction of the first school in Hartmannshof, including through foundations. They supplied the lime from their lime kilns , which the name "Kalkofenäcker" still attests to today. As early as 1875, the local residents built a drinking water supply through a newly built water wheel in the Fallmühltal that operated a pump. The water pumped up was stored in three village wells and also served as fire fighting water. After 1952, the idea of ​​group water supply on the arid Jura was born again in Guntersrieth . Leonhard Hartmann founded the Heldmannsberg group for water supply, which then supplied ten towns and two larger valley communities with drinking and extinguishing water from two deep boreholes.
