history

Beginnings to the 14th century

The name Lichtenwald is a clearing name and refers to the origin of the place in the 11th century. When Hector von Lichtenberg had Lichtenwald Castle built around 1348 and took the name "Lichtenperger vom Lichtenwald", the place Lichtenwald certainly already existed. Lichtenwald was conveniently located on the road that led from the Danube crossing at Donaustauf up the Otterbachtal into the Bavarian Forest . In 1351 Bishop Friedrich enfeoffed the Melchior von Lichtenberg with the Lichtenwald. In 1365 Lichtenwald was sold by the Lichtenbergers to Peter the Chamerauer von Haitzstein. Between 1310 and 1350 the ministerials and their fiefdoms broke away from the dependency of the bishops. Lichtenwald passed into the possession of other sexes and the Bavarian duke moved into the vacant position of feudal lord . This development was partially intercepted here by the emerging court Donaustauf . Since 1392 Lichtenwald was owned by the Zenger. In 1392, Hans der Zenger undertook not to act hostile to the city of Regensburg with his fortress Lichtenwald .

15th to 16th century

Erhard Zenger was the ducal caretaker in Friedberg and owner of Lichtenwald in 1440. He claimed the right to judge Lichtenwald and therefore fought several power struggles with Regensburg. Likewise Michael Zenger, 1503 owner of Lichtenwald. In 1503 Lichtenwald was first mentioned as Hofmark in the files of the Donaustauf court . In an excerpt from the country table in 1510 Leonhard Sinzenhofer is named as the owner of half of the Hofmark Lichtenwald. In 1549 Hanno von Sinzenhofer zu Lennberg and his housewife Margareta sold half of their Hofmark Lichtenwald with all rights and uses to Haimeram von Nusberg zu Brennberg and Weichenberg. In 1576, Hans Wolf Zenger zu Altenthann sold the Hofmark Lichtenwald for 5000 guilders to his cousin Parzifal Zenger zum Adlmannstein, the keeper of Kirchberg. From 1590 the court brands Adlmannstein and Lichtenwald were sold together. Erhard Muggenthal bought half of the Hofmark.

17th to 18th centuries

In 1610, Lichtenwald was a dilapidated castle stables with a courtyard, five booths and a hut. In 1669 David Stich bought Lichtenwald from Adam Philipp von Muggenthal. In 1694 Lichtenwald was referred to as a closed Hofmark and the associated goods as a single layer . The Hofmarkherr David Stich had all basic and bailiwick jurisdiction . The court brands Adlmannstein and Lichtenwald were already heavily indebted again in 1708. They were sold in 1711 by Franz Martin von Stich to Baron Schütz, who acted as the nominal buyer for his brother-in-law Johann Christian Baron Knorr von Rosenroth. In 1718, after Elector Max Emanuel had given the consensus, the two court stamps went to the Deutschordenskommende Regensburg, where they remained until the end of the Old Kingdom.

19th century to the present

The Hofmark rights of the Hofmark Lichtenwald went to the Thurn und Taxis'sche Herrschaftsgericht Wörth in 1818 . The municipality of Lichtenwald, which was founded with the Bavarian municipal edict of 1818, comprised the places Heuweg (the municipality seat), Oberlichtenwald, Schmatzhäusl, Spitz, Thiergarten and Unterlichtenwald. The privileges of the nobility were abolished with the revolution of 1848 .

On March 23, 1913 (Easter) Oberlichtenwald belonged to the parish Altenthann and had 12 houses and 69 inhabitants. On December 31, 1990, Oberlichtenwald had 63 inhabitants and was still part of the Altenthann parish.
