history

Lauenhain was laid out as an alluvial and forest hoof village. It was first mentioned in 1414 in a certificate of inheritance from the Counts of Orlamünde . The place belonged to the rule Lauenstein . In 1622 the Thüna family sold the castle and the Lauenstein estate to Margrave Christian von Brandenburg-Bayreuth .

Towards the end of the 18th century there were 34 properties in Lauenhain (12 estates, 4 half estates, 3 Hintersättel , 1 estate, 3 half estates , 1 drip house , 9 houses, 1 remote farm with brick and lime smelter ). The high court exercised the Bavarian office of Lauenstein . The Lauenstein caste office held the village and community rulership as well as the lordship over all properties . In addition to the property there was also 1 forester's house, 1 church, 1 parsonage, 1 schoolhouse, 1 community pastor's house and 1 community brewhouse.

In 1792 the Margraviate of Bayreuth with the office of Lauenstein and Lauenhain fell to the Kingdom of Prussia , before it passed into the possession of the Electorate of Bavaria , later the Kingdom of Bavaria , through a border and country exchange agreement of June 30, 1803 . From 1797 to 1808 Lauenhain was under the Lauenstein Justice and Chamber Office . With the community edict , the place was assigned to the Ludwigsstadt tax district formed in 1808 . With the Second Community Edict (1818), the rural community Lauenhain was formed, to which Ziegelhütte belonged. In administration and jurisdiction, it was subordinate to the Lauenstein Regional Court ( renamed Ludwigsstadt Regional Court in 1837 ) and the Lauenstein Rent Office for financial administration . In 1815 Lauenhain was transferred to the Rothenkirchen Rent Office ( renamed the Rothenkirchen Tax Office in 1919 ). From 1862 to 1880 and from 1888 to 1931 Lauenhain was administered by the Teuschnitz district office, from 1880 to 1888 and from 1931 by the Kronach district office (renamed the Kronach district in 1939 ). The jurisdiction remained with the district court Ludwigsstadt until 1879, from 1879 district court Ludwigsstadt , which in 1956 became a branch of the district court Kronach . The financial management was taken over in 1929 by the Kronach tax office . In 1885 the municipality had an area of ​​10.107 km², which before 1904 had decreased to 8.138 km².

In 1865 slate quarrying began in the municipality. Until 1888 there was a wasteland there called Carlsbruch or Schieferbruch. With the commissioning of the Frankenwaldbahn in 1885, the district of Steinbach am Wald Bahnhof was founded. The Steinbach am Wald train station, about 3.0 kilometers from Lauenhain, was on the Lauenhain district. 1951 Steinbach am Wald station was reclassified to Steinbach am Wald . This reduced the area of ​​the municipality to 6.733 km².

After the Second World War , the location on the inner-German border shaped the town until 1989 . The place was dominated by agriculture and forestry. One of the few brick huts in the slate mountains was located in the Ziegelhütte district.

On January 1, 1978 Lauenhain was incorporated into Ludwigsstadt.
