history

Until the church is planted

The first documented mention of Leupoldsgrün dates from 1335. The von Lüchau family can be traced back to the period from 1398 to 1668. The property then passed to the Baum von Baumsdorf family , who died out in 1725. The former office of the Principality of Bayreuth fell to France in the Peace of Tilsit in 1807 and became part of Bavaria in 1810 . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

Incorporations

On July 1, 1972, the formerly independent municipality of Lipperts was incorporated.

Outsourcing

On July 1, 1976, parts of the area with then significantly fewer than 50 inhabitants were ceded to the city of Selbitz .
