history

Probably from the end of the 14th century Oberau was the 2nd Gnotschaft district of the "Ur gnotschaft " Au in Berchtesgadener Land , which from 1380 formed the heartland of the Reich Prelature Berchtesgaden and the later independent, imperial provostry Berchtesgaden (1559-1803). After three changes of rulership in quick succession, in 1810 the Berchtesgadener Land with its Gnotships was annexed to the Kingdom of Bavaria and Au became a municipality from 1812 . Until December 31, 1971, Oberau remained part of the municipality of Au , which only lost its independence in the course of the regional reform in Bavaria on January 1, 1972 and became a district of Berchtesgaden . Since then, Oberau has been a district or a Gnotschaft of the Berchtesgaden market.

As a result of the Second World War , refugees from the eastern regions of the former German Reich , in particular German Bohemia and Silesians , lived in some cases until the 1960s in the Vockenbichl refugee camp in Oberau , whose facility had previously been built for the SS and then by the US Army was occupied.
