Muggenthal is a district of the town of Schönsee in the Upper Palatinate district of Schwandorf in Bavaria .

Geographical location

Muggenthal refers to two farms that are about 200 m apart on State Road 2159 (formerly: Ober- and Untermuggenthal). Muggenthal is located at the eastern exit of the Rosenthal, where the narrow breakthrough from the Ascha widens to the Schönsee plateau.

history

In 1387, Ober- and Untermuggenthal were first mentioned in writing as part of the hammer mills on the Ascha (from east to west, downhill from the Ascha : Dietersberg , Steinhammer, Schallerhammer , Ober- and Untermuggenthal, Gaisthaler Hammer ).

In this document, Ober- and Untermuggenthal were referred to as Schienhämmer , which were hammer mills that processed iron ore and the pig iron obtained was shaped into rails for the processing works - often in Bohemian: Pfraumberg and Tausgaben . Perhaps these hammer mills were built earlier and initially used local iron deposits. Since the end of the 14th century they have been purchasing iron ore from the Amberg area.

Untermuggenthal was no longer listed in the Amberg delivery lists after the 15th century. Obermuggenthal appeared after the 15th century as a tin hammer, d. H. as an iron processing company. In the 15th century, the construction of new rail hammers was forbidden in order to reduce the production of pig iron . The conversion of the rail hammers into sheet metal hammers, however, was promoted.

The Muggenthaler Hammer changed hands frequently. Between 1569 and 1599 it belonged first to Michael Moller, then from 1593 to Conrad Moller, which is why it was also known as Mollerhammer or Mollermühl. In the 17th century the hammers experienced a decline and in the 18th century water power was used to operate grain mills , sawmills and glass grinding . From 1831 there was a glass loop each in Untermuggenthal and Obermuggenthal. At the beginning of the 20th century, the glass loops were closed.

Today (2012) the upper homestead (formerly: Obermuggenthal) is a farm with horses and cows, the lower homestead (formerly: Untermuggenthal) a factory for plastics processing and mold construction.

Culture and sights

The upper homestead (Obermuggenthal) is a former hammer mansion , then a mill, then mirror glass loop until 1937, from the early 19th century, a saddle roof building with clock turrets and stable buildings with baroque vaults, which were raised above the basement.

A cycling and hiking trail leads past Muggenthal, which was laid out on the former Nabburg – Schönsee railway line . This cycle path is a section of the Bavarian-Bohemian Friendship Trail from Nabburg to Horšovský Týn .
