history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1239 and was probably built around an old fortress. The church of St. Wenceslas has been documented since 1384, when it was already a parish church.

Berg was initially subordinate to Hirschstein Castle, after the Hirschsteiner died out , Teinitz ruled . In 1587 the village consisted of six farms. In 1707 a new parish and school house was built in Berg, which was also called Bergium or Mons St. Wenceslai in old scripts . In 1788 the church, which had meanwhile been assigned to the Stockau monastery , was again given the status of a parish church. In 1839 the village had 173 inhabitants. From the middle of the 19th century, Berg formed a community in the judicial district of Ronsperg or in the district of Bischofteinitz .

The inhabitants of the place lived on agriculture, in which flax cultivation played a major role, and flax spinning. In addition, some residents earned their living in glassworks in the Upper Palatinate Forest. In 1913 there were 165 people in Berg. The rectory burned down in 1927 and was rebuilt in 1932.

At that time, the districts of Schiefernau and Zeisermühl belonged to Berg .

After the Munich Agreement , Berg was added to the German Empire and belonged to the Bischofteinitz district until 1945 . The predominantly German-speaking population was expelled after 1945.
