history

Upper, Lower and Castle Franconia are likely to have been founded by Franconian settlers at the end of the 8th century. They are first mentioned in a document in 1008 in a deed of donation from King Heinrich II to the Bamberg Monastery.

The municipality of Oberfrankenohe was established by the municipal edict in Bavaria in 1818 and also included the villages of Unter- und Schloßfrankenohe , Kotzmanns, Meilendorf and Portenreuth . In 1933 the community had 357 inhabitants. The settlement and dissolution of the community took place in 1938/39 (subsequently decreed by the announcement of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior of August 22, 1951). The former municipality belongs to the core area of ​​the Grafenwöhr military training area and is located in Range 301 , the largest tank firing range in Europe. The area , which has been free from parishes since 1939 , was incorporated into the city of Grafenwöhr on July 1, 1978.
