history

The parish church of Lindberg

Until the church is planted

Lindberg belonged to the Straubing Rent Office and to the District Court of Zwiesel in the Electorate of Bavaria .

The noble free Ebenhoch (Ebenhöch) received from the middle of the 10th to the end of the 11th century as a fiefdom of the Babones a domain near Lindberg in the Regen district in the Bavarian Forest and were also based in Regensburg.

The village was founded in 1345, with 19 farms in Lindberg already mentioned in 1356. Gradually, 21 districts were added, which together form today's municipality (has existed since 1821), including Buchenau .

20th century

In 1997 around two thirds of the community area was declared an extension of the Bavarian Forest National Park and thus placed under strict protection.

Glass art has a long tradition, especially in the Ludwigsthal district.

Ludwigsthal glassworks

The town of Ludwigsthal , located in the municipality, emerged from a very important glassworks with its own hut settlement. This was founded in 1826 by the glassworks master Georg Christoph Abele from Hurkenthal in the Bohemian Forest and named after King Ludwig I. The company, together with Schwarzenthal near Philippsreut , was one of the first important mirror glass factories in what was then Bavaria. The founder of the hut died in 1833, after which his brother Ferdinand took over the management of the company. The wife of G. Ch. Abele's son Wilhelm, a née Hafenbrädl, managed the hut from 1844 until bankruptcy in 1861. The master butcher Josef Pauli from Zwiesel bought the property and after two fires (1871 and 1873) put the production on hollow glass around. In 1901 Anton Röck from Zwiesel leased the business and founded a joint stock company together with the nearby Regenhütte and the Schliersee hut in Upper Bavaria. During the First World War, the AG was dissolved and production stopped in 1928. In 1948 the hut resumed its operations and was leased to Rudolf Angerer in 1955. During this time, around 200 people were employed at the Ludwigsthal glassworks. In 1981 the hut was closed.

Today the owner's castle, the glassmaker's houses and the ruins of the hut still remind of Ludwigsthal's heyday. A show glass hut in Ludwigsthal ties in with the "glass" tradition of the place on Glasstrasse .
