history
The first reference to a "Cunradus de Chlingenprunne" dates back to 1250. In 1395, Klingenbrunn was a sizable village with ten fiefs. In the Bärnsteiner Scharwerksgeldregister one finds first references to a glassworks in Klingenbrunn in 1488 . It is marked as Klingenprun on Philipp Apian's map from 1568 . The name comes from Old High German and means something like "rippling spring".
The owners changed frequently until the entire Klingenbrunn Hüttengut was auctioned off in 1752. In 1753, Christoph Hilz acquired the Hüttengut, which now remained in the possession of the Hilz family (from 1806 von Hilz). In 1832, Felix von Hilz sold the Klingenbrunn estate to the Kingdom of Bavaria for 107,000 guilders. The state only kept the forests and sold the glassworks to a consortium of investors. The operation in Neuhütte was discontinued due to dilapidation and resold. The glassworks in Althütte was continued until 1839. After that, glass production was relocated to Flanitzhütte .
In 1833 the Klingenbrunn forest district was established and a forester's house was built. The municipality of Klingenbrunn was established in 1834, to which Spiegelau also belonged at the time. In 1844 a village chapel was built, which was designated in 1845. The Klingenbrunn volunteer fire brigade was founded on September 25, 1876. When the Zwiesel – Grafenau railway line was opened on September 1, 1890 , Klingenbrunn also received a connection, albeit far to the northeast of the village at an altitude of 769 meters.
In 1909 Klingenbrunn became a branch , in 1921 a parish . In 1927 the Klingenbrunn church “Maria Hilfe der Christisten” was built.
On August 14, 1959, the name of the community Klingenbrunn was changed to Spiegelau . Since then, Klingenbrunn has only been part of the municipality. In 1975 a weather station was set up at Klingenbrunn station.
Many hiking trails lead from Klingenbrunn to the area of the Great and Small Rachel or to the Eschenberg and Wagensonnriegel . Klingenbrunn is also known as the temporary residence of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in the summer of 1876 in the Gasthaus Zum Ludwigstein , where he enthusiastically praised the “blissful silence” and “freedom of the mountains” in a letter to his sister.
