history

In 1826, master glassworker Georg Christoph Abele from Neuhurkenthal in the Bohemian Forest founded a glassworks and named it a year later after King Ludwig I. Abele built in 1830 according to the plans of the Prague builder von Zobel by the master builder Lexa. In the factory, white, then green mirror glass was produced from 1828 to 1848. In March 1860, the entire property was auctioned off. The property went to the butcher Josef Pauli and beer brewer Josef Kammermeier, both from Zwiesel, for 44,000 guilders .

At the end of the 19th century, the company switched to hollow glass production . The glassworks, which still employed around 200 people after the Second World War , was closed in 1981. At the beginning of 2006 the empty building collapsed under the snow masses. The castle of the hut owners, which was leased by the Pro National Park Association in January 2008 , and the glassmaker's houses are still standing. The crystal glass manufacture Ludwigsthal with a show glass factory has been following the tradition of glass art in Ludwigsthal since 2001.

From June 1, 1876, Prince Otto stayed for several weeks at the castle in Ludwigsthal. On the advice of his doctors, he often went for walks in the forest, and his favorite path along the Großer Regens to Regenhütte is still called the Prinzensteig today .

The Ludwigsthal Expositur was established in 1894, and in 1912 it was elevated to a parish .

The Hundesportverein Ludwigsthal eV has existed since 1950, the TSV Ludwigsthal since 1977 and the Ludwigsthal fishing club since 1981. In 1989 the Ludwigsthal parish had 947 Catholics.

The former station building of Ludwigsthal station, 1.5 kilometers from the town, is now privately owned and not open to the public. One kilometer closer to the village, a new Ludwigsthal stop was set up in 2003, right next to the National Park visitor center.
