history

Issigau, panorama

Until the church is planted

Issigau was first mentioned in a document in 1398. The village was first part of the Reitzenstein manor. Issigau later became an independent manor. In 1796 the property was sequestered by Prussia . In the Peace of Tilsit in 1807 Issigau and the Prussian Principality of Bayreuth fell to France and then came to Bavaria. The spelling of the name varied over time between Ißiga , Issigau , Issigau , Issigau and Issigau . The place is called Nissja in dialect . The municipality of Issigau was created in the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria with the municipal edict of 1818 .

20th century

At the beginning of the 20th century there were considerations for a railway connection to Hell in the form of a branch line of Group III. The following stations were planned: Hölle (station , branching off from the Triptis – Marxgrün railway line ), Neuenmühle = Eichenstein (Hp.), Issigau (Hst.) And Reitzenstein (Lbf.). In the turmoil of the war and post-war period, the project came to a standstill.

Incorporations

On the occasion of the municipal area reform , the previously independent municipality of Kemlas was incorporated on January 1, 1975. On May 1, 1978, the majority of the dissolved Reitzenstein community was added.
