history

Until the 19th century

The localities of the municipality were built on the upper Goldener Steig between 1687 and 1724. Mauth came with most of the Passau bishopric in 1803 to the Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany . Since the peace treaties of Brno and Pressburg in 1805, the place has belonged to Bavaria.

The community of Mauth was formed in 1811 with the settlements Finsterau, Heinrichsbrunn, Hohenröhren, Mauth, Waldmühl (Holzapfelmühl) and Zwölfhäuser. The municipal edict of 1818 assigned the Fürstenhütte (Neuhütte) and Vierhäuser settlements to this. 1825 appeared as further districts Neuhäusler and Neuhüttenmühle. In 1841 at the latest, Fürstenhütte and Neuhäusler had merged to form the Neuhütte district. The new Finsterau community was separated from the Finsterau and Heinrichsbrunn settlements with effect from January 1, 1900.
