geography
The parish village of Lauenstein is located about four kilometers north of Ludwigsstadt near the border with Thuringia in the Loquitz valley . In the northeast, the nature reserve Falkenstein and Pechleite borders Lauenstein to the east . The federal road 85 leads past Fischbachsmühle and Falkenstein to Probstzella (2.5 km north) or via Unter- and Oberneuhüttendorf to Ludwigsstadt (2.8 km south-east). The Hochstadt-Marktzeuln – Probstzella railway runs past the village; the Lauenstein stop was closed in 1965.
history
Lauenstein was first mentioned in a document in 1222 as "Lewinsteine" and is therefore the oldest town in today's city of Ludwigsstadt. The Burg Lauenstein was probably built in the second half of the 12th century. For a long time the place was the seat of the Lauenstein office , to which Ludwigsstadt and Tettau belonged.
Towards the end of the 18th century there were 51 properties in Lauenstein (7 estates, 23 estates, 6 half estates, 4 drip houses , 8 houses, 1 grinding and oil mill , 1 remote farm with drip house ). 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 parish church, 1 parsonage, 1 schoolhouse and 1 community brewhouse.
From 1797 to 1808 the place was subordinate to the Justice and Chamber Office Lauenstein . With the municipal edict , the tax district Lauenstein was formed in 1808 , to which Ebersdorf , Falkenstein , Fischbachsmühle , Katzwich , Spitzberg , Springelhof , Steinbach an der Haide , Steinbachsmühle and Untersteuhüttendorf belonged. With the second community edict (1818), the rural community Lauenstein was formed, to which Fischbachsmühle, Spitzberg, Springelhof and Unterneuhüttendorf 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 Lauenstein was transferred to the Rothenkirchen Rent Office ( renamed the Rothenkirchen Tax Office in 1919 ). From 1862 to 1880 and from 1888 to 1931 Lauenstein 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 9.196 km², which before 1904 had decreased to 5.688 km².
On May 1, 1978, Lauenstein was incorporated into Ludwigsstadt as a result of the regional reform in Bavaria .

religion
The Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Nikolaus in Lauenstein was first mentioned in a document in 1381, the origins of the church probably go back to around 1200. In 1512 the church was extensively rebuilt and consecrated again, and in 1687 the steeple was added. In 1787 the nave was torn down and, like the church altar, rebuilt in the Baroque style, the church tower remained unchanged.
Lauenstein has been predominantly Protestant since the Reformation.
economy
In addition to agriculture, the metal industry was initially the main source of income for the residents of Lauenstein. After the decline of this, the slate industry and later tourism emerged. The opening of the Hochstadt-Marktzeuln – Probstzella railway crossing the Franconian Forest in 1885 had a positive impact on the town's economic development . Lauenstein had a train station there until 1965.
After the Second World War , after the division of Germany, Lauenstein was on the inner-German border and was cut off from its economic ties to Thuringia.
