history

Kunreuth was first mentioned in 1120 in a deed of donation to the St. Egidienspital Bamberg . For a long time the opinion prevailed that the place was founded in 1109 as "Chunesrut". But this place in the founding book of the Collegiat-Stift St. Jacob zu Bamberg describes a place near Amberg that no longer exists today (desertification). The Jakobsspital never owned real estate in Kunreuth, but the Egidienspital did. Regensberg Castle has been a fief of the Bamberg Monastery since 1251. The moated castle of the Lords of Egloffstein , built in the 14th century, was also a fiefdom of the Bamberg Monastery from 1412. In 1426 the church was built. In the Second Margrave War in 1553, the place, the castle and the church were destroyed by Albrecht Alcibiades . In 1560, Kunreuth became Protestant after the Lords of Egloffstein had appointed a Protestant pastor. In 1700 Kunreuth freed himself from Bamberg rule, the castle became the seat of the chancellery of the canton Gebürg of the imperial knighthood in Franconia . In 1805 Kunreuth fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria, until 1845 there was still a patrimonial court for the barons and counts von und zu Egloffstein .

On January 3, 1952, the name of the community Cunreuth was changed to Kunreuth.
