history

Oberhaidelbach was first mentioned in 1236, after which it was listed several times in other medieval documents. The name of the place indicates that there were many blueberry bushes on the banks of the Haidelbach, which crosses the place . The place was from the beginning a rural settlement, the local knights of Haidelbach in the beginning were subordinate as servants to the Reichsministeriale von Thann. In the following period there were several changes of rule by various noble families.

A profound turning point in local history took place in 1504 during the Landshut War of Succession . In that year the village, like many other places in the area, was occupied by the troops of the imperial city of Nuremberg . With the conclusion of peace a year later, it finally came into the possession of this imperial city and then belonged to its land area for almost three centuries. Together with the neighboring towns, Oberhaidelbach became part of Ansbach-Bayreuth in 1796 and thus Prussian, before it became Bavarian with the annexation of Nuremberg by the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806 .

Due to the administrative reforms carried out in the Kingdom of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century , Oberhaidelbach became an independent rural municipality with the second municipal edict. In the course of the municipal territorial reform in Bavaria carried out in the 1970s , the municipality of Oberhaidelbach was incorporated into the municipality of Leinburg on May 1, 1978. In 2016 Oberhaidelbach had 194 inhabitants.
