Leopoldstal , formerly Leopoldsthal , is a district and hamlet of the municipality of Bayerisch Gmain in the Berchtesgadener Land district . Originally a district and an exclave of the municipality of St. Zeno (Bad Reichenhall) , which was separated from the main part of the municipality by the then municipality-free area Kirchholz , it was annexed to Bayerisch Gmain (then Gmain) when this municipality was dissolved on December 1, 1905, during the Main part of St. Zeno was reclassified to Bad Reichenhall .

The Leopoldstal is a section of the Weißbachstal . The Weißbach forms a natural and political border between Germany (Kirchholz) and Austria (community Großgmain with the Randersberg ). The area of ​​the hamlet is only 11 to 83 meters wide and 965 meters long along the district road BGL 4, which runs to the left of the Weißbach . There are 15 properties on Leopoldstrasse on both sides of the street, with only the northern section of Leopoldstrasse counting as part of the hamlet (from house number 14 even numbers and 17 / 17a odd numbers). In the southern section the Ortelbach flows into the Weißbach.

Leopoldstal is not an officially named part of the municipality and is therefore not recorded in the official register of places for Bavaria. The hamlet was last recorded separately in the locality directory from 1925, with 19 residents in six residential buildings. In the following official register of places for the census of September 13, 1950, Leopoldsthal is no longer a separate district, but only as part of an expanded community name Bayerisch Gmain m. Leopoldsthal recorded. At the request of the municipality of Bayerisch Gmain, by resolution of the government of Upper Bavaria of December 3, 1960 No. II / 4 - 8040 a 36, ​​the name "Leopoldsthal" was repealed.

The name of the district is therefore no longer recorded on official maps either, but on the original position sheet from 1832. The map from 1832 also proves that Leopold von Bayern cannot be the namesake of the district and the street.

Like Kirchholz to the west, the underground area consists of Hasel Mountains , a mixture of salty clay and gypsum marl. In Leopoldstal it was used to extract gypsum . This is also where the Hartmann cement factory was located .
