Another mention of the place name can be found in the book Teutsches Paradeiß in the excellent Fichtelgebirge by M. Johann Willen from 1692, in which the "village on the black stream" was mentioned. In the place name directory of the Principality of Bayreuth it says “Rinnbächlein rinnet ab vom Dorff klein Schwarzenbach”.
