history

Until the church is planted

The district of Haidmühle, which gives it its name today, was founded in 1770 and is therefore one of the youngest settlements in the Freyung-Grafenau district - a result of the construction of a mill. As early as the 15th century, a path, the so-called Haidweg, led from Fürholz to the “great Haid” and further through the valley of the Cold Vltava to Wallern and Krummau in Bohemia. The Frauenberg district is a scattered settlement close to the Dreisessel mountain and was created as early as 1724. The small village belonged to the Austrian rule of Rannariedl until 1765 and was then bought back by the Passau prince-bishop Firmian with the seven villages of Art. The old trading route Goldener Steig leads through the oldest district of Bischofreut, founded in 1705 to secure the border .

Haidmühle, in the former Bishopric of Passau located, was in 1803 with the majority of the high pin and the territory in favor of Ferdinand of Tuscany secularized and fell until 1805 with the Treaties of Brno and Bratislava to Bavaria. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

19th and 20th centuries

The construction of an iron hammer works in 1840 and the opening of the Waldkirchen - Frauenberg - Haidmühle - Prachatitz railway line in 1910 led to an economic boom.

Tourism began around 1912, making Haidmühle one of the oldest tourist locations in the Lower Bavarian Forest. Since 1946, the former Schwarzenthal glassworks settlement has belonged to the Bischofsreut community, which joined Haidmühle in 1978.

On April 27, 1951, the community name Frauenberg was officially changed to Haidmühle .

traffic

Before the First World War , the Haidmühle train station was connected to the railway from Passau to Budweis (Austria-Hungary). The Royal Bavarian State Railway ran from Passau via Waldkirchen to Haidmühle ( Passau – Freyung and Waldkirchen – Haidmühle line ); From Haidmühle, the Imperial-Royal Austrian State Railways continued via Neuthal and Wallern towards Budweis ( Číčenice – Haidmühle railway ). In 1945 cross-border traffic ended. Passenger trains still ran to Waldkirchen until 1963; freight traffic was finally shut down in 1975 above Jandelsbrunn . Today the route is dismantled. The Haidmühle sewage treatment plant is located on part of the route. A few meters from the village is the border crossing Nové Údolí (Neuthal) to Stožec (Tusset) , which is open to pedestrians and cyclists. This is where the Passau – Prachatice (Prachatitz) railway ends, right at the border crossing on the Czech side , which is now used by regional trains to Volary (Wallern) . Part of the route is in operation as a museum railway ( Pošumavská jižní dráha ).
