history

The history of Immenreuth goes back to the year 1195. In this historically important year, the former monastery Weißenohe (as Imurut) was founded by Pope Coelestin III. mentioned. Due to the favorable location of Immenreuth (on the trade route to Eger in today's Czech Republic ), the population increased increasingly. The small village experienced a great boom in 1878 when the Nuremberg – Cheb railway was opened. As a result, the area also sparked interest in larger companies, which led to rapid growth in both the population and the economy. Glass, ceramics and building materials were the first goods that went all over the world by rail from Immenreuth. Fortunately, Immenreuth was largely spared from the two world wars, which contributed to the fact that refugees from eastern areas and, due to the proximity to the Soviet occupation zone , also from Leipzig and Dresden were able to settle and were accepted.

Development of the municipal area

In 1945 or 1946, the previously independent municipality of Punreuth was incorporated into the municipality of Ahornberg. She came to Immenreuth on January 1, 1978. On the same day, parts of the area of ​​the dissolved community of Lenau were incorporated.

On September 1, 2008, the two undeveloped, community-free areas Ahornberger Forst and Flötz were incorporated into the community of Immenreuth.

On February 12, 2009, in a vote that was accompanied by great media interest, the local council decided against a change of district from the Upper Palatinate district of Tirschenreuth to the Upper Franconian district of Bayreuth , although according to calculations by Mayor Merkl, the town would pay almost 120,000 euros less annually would have to. On June 7, 2009, a referendum took place on the change of district. A clear majority of 71% of voters voted to remain in the Tirschenreuth district.

On January 1, 2017, parts of the dissolved community-free area Lenauer Forst came to the community.

Population development

Between 1988 and 2018, the population stagnated or increased from 1,889 to 1,903 by 14 inhabitants or 0.7%.
