history

The Waldhufendorf was founded in 1618 by Archduke Leopold of Austria , the then Prince-Bishop of the Passau Monastery , on the middle branch of the Goldener Steiges . The reason for the establishment was the uprising of the Bohemian estates, against which the Goldene Steig and the border should be secured. Originally the village consisted of 18 settlers. In 1625, the new town almost died out again due to the plague.

It was not until 1644 that the village law letter was issued, which settled border disputes with other villages, determined the locality and established the rights, burdens and duties of the settlers down to the smallest detail. Life in the heroic houses , as the place was popularly known, was arduous for a long time and relied on the meager income from local agriculture.

Herzogsreut had been a separate municipality since the 19th century. The villages Schlichtenberg, Schwarzkopf, Gstöcket, Heldengut and Rotbachau also belonged to it. From an ecclesiastical point of view, originally a branch of the pastoral care district of Freyung , Herzogsreut became a school branch in 1832 . From 1841 to 1843 the modern Romanesque parish church of St. Oswald was built . Herzogsreut has been an independent parish since 1894 . The Philippsreut branch emerged from it in 1928 . Today Herzogsreut is looked after in the parish association with Grainet and Hinterschmiding, pastor has been Dr. Dr. Michael Gnan.

The Herzogsreut volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1880. The first larger school building was built in 1885, the school building was expanded to include two classrooms in 1928/29, and the local brass band was founded in 1908. The painter Hans Turek was born in Herzogsreut in 1921. In 1966 the SC Herzogsreut was founded. In 1969 the elementary school was closed.

The number of overnight stays in the municipality increased from 1,351 in 1960 to 4,205 in 1970. In 1971 a branch of the Raiffeisenbank was opened. On January 1, 1978, Herzogsreut was incorporated into Hinterschmiding as part of the regional reform in Bavaria .
