Location of Oberbernrieth in Bavaria

Oberbernrieth is a district of the Waldthurn market in the Neustadt an der Waldnaab district . Until January 1, 1972 there was a municipality Bernrieth. This was dissolved as part of the regional reform in Bavaria and divided between the communities of Waldthurn, Pleystein and Georgenberg . Oberbernrieth came to Waldthurn and Unterbernrieth, about two kilometers away, to Pleystein.

Place name

Oral tradition says that around 1200 a man named Bero settled on the slopes of the Fahrenberg. The first syllable of the place name Bernrieth comes from this personal name Bero.

The ending -rieth of the place name (Ober-) Bernrieth indicates an early development of the place before the 13th century. The places with the place names ending in -reuth, -rieth, -ried, -richt (earlier spelling: -riut, -rivt, -rewt, derived from “clearing”, “clearing”) emerged in connection with the first settlement of the area by clearing the dense forest. Places with such names occur very often in the area of ​​the rivers Pfreimd and Luhe and the adjacent streams. These were the starting point for the settlement of the region.

In the local dialect, the place name is pronounced as Bäanriad.

Geographical location

Oberbernrieth is located on the northern slope of the 801 meter high Fahrenberg , about three kilometers east of Waldthurn. From Obernried a road leads to the summit of the Fahrenberg to the pilgrimage church and the restaurant next to it.

history

The place Bernrieth originated at the beginning of the 13th century in today's Oberbernrieth.

In the second half of the 14th century, the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg enfeoffed the Waldauer zu Waldthurn with the throat or blood court over the Fahrenberg, Bernrieth and Waldkirch.

The parish of Bernrieth was established between 1326 and 1350.

In 1394 Bernrieth is mentioned in writing as Pernrewt and in 1438 as Pernreut, in 1451 it appears in the documents as Bernreut and 1666 as Bernrieth.

During construction work, human bones were found near the old schoolhouse. This led to the assumption that there was a church with a cemetery there during the Hussite Wars.

In the second half of the 18th century, Bernrieth Bibershof belonged to the community with 7 properties, 1 shepherd's house and bicycle washing with 1 property.

From 1654 the lordship of Waldthurn became a Bohemian fief . Emperor Ferdinand III. , King of Bohemia, sold the Waldthurn domain to Prince Wenzel von Lobkowitz in 1656 . The Prince of Lobkowitz obtained the lower court and the sovereign authority over the rule of Waldthurn. Until 1807 Bernrieth was under the rule of the Lobkowitz family.

At the end of the 18th century, Bernrieth consisted of Oberbernrieth with 14 properties and Unterbernrieth with 18 properties

In 1808 tax districts were formed. The Bernrieth tax district included the villages of Oberbernrieth, Unterbernrieth and Mangelsdorf, the hamlets of Oberfahrenberg and Unterfahrenberg and the deserted areas of Bibershof and Radwaschen.

The Bernrieth community was founded in 1821. It included the villages of Oberbernrieth with 11 families, Unterbernrieth with 19 families, Neuenhammer with 11 families and Bibershof with 8 families, the Weiher Unterfahrenberg with 5 families and the Oberfahrenberg and Radwaschen areas with two families each.

In 1867, the municipality Bernrieth Bibershof with 45 residents and 19 buildings, Birkenbühl with 22 residents and 13 buildings, Hagnmühle with 67 residents and 7 buildings, Mangelsdorf with 17 residents and 5 buildings, Neuenhammer with 15 buildings and 77 residents, a church, a school and an ironworks, Oberbernrieth with 104 residents and 45 buildings, Oberfahrenberg with 12 residents and 6 buildings, Pfifferlingstiel with 5 residents and 12 buildings, Radwaschen with 8 residents and 4 buildings, Schafbruck with 57 residents and 4 buildings, Schellhopfen with 9 residents and 3 Buildings, Unterbernrieth with 12 residents and 3 buildings and Unterfahrenberg with 25 residents and 8 buildings.

In 1964, the Bernrieth community consisted of the districts of Oberbernrieth, Bibershof, Birkenbühl, Hagenmühle, Mangelsdorf, Neuenhammer, Oberfahrenberg, Pfifferlingstiel, Radwaschen, Schafbruck, Unterbernrieth and Unterfahrenberg.

On January 1, 1972, the Bernrieth community was dissolved. Oberbernrieth, Mangelsdorf, Oberfahrenberg, Unterfahrenberg came to Waldthurn; Unterbernrieth, Bibershof, Birkenbühl, Hagenmühle, Pfifferlingstiel, Radwaschen, Schafbruck came to Pleystein; Neuenhammer came to Georgenberg.

Bernrieth am Fahrenberg can easily be confused (also in historical documents and nobility names) with Bernrieth, only about 20 kilometers away south of Leuchtenberg and north of Döllnitz . This other Bernrieth belonged to the former municipality of Döllnitz.
