history

The history of the area around Töpen began around 1200 when the Lords of Tepen came to this area in the wake of the Weida bailiffs . These died out 200 years later and the gentlemen von Zedtwitz , von Beulwitz and von Feilitzsch were owners of Töpen and the surrounding area in the period that followed. The place names of Tiefendorf and the neighboring village Hohendorf are as high or low-lying village . Töpen was first mentioned in a document in 1310. At that time, Tiefendorf was a Vögtisches fiefdom . At that time no distinction was made between Ober- and Unteriefendorf.

The area around Töpen with Tiefendorf belonged with the Regnitzland between the 12th and 14th centuries to the administrative area of ​​the Vögte von Weida , which is why the name Bayerisches Vogtland is also used for this area today . In 1373 they sold their claims to the Burgraviate of Nuremberg , from whose Upper Mountain portion the Principality of Bayreuth later developed. From 1498 the area belonged to his "military district Hof", from which the provincial governing body Hof had developed in the first half of the 16th century . The Töpen area was part of the Hof hospital, caste, monastery and city bailiff's office. With the Treaty of Gefell in 1524 and the agreed adjustment of the borders between Brandenburg-Bayreuth and Saxony , the area around Töpen came completely under the rule of the Principality of Bayreuth. With the Principality of Bayreuth, Obertiefendorf fell to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1792 , then to France and in 1810 to the Kingdom of Bavaria . This allocated the place to the Mainkreis , which was designated as Obermainkreis from 1817 and as Upper Franconia from 1838 . Due to the decree of the royal Bavarian municipal edict of 1818, the rural municipality of Töpen emerged from the Töpen tax district. In addition to Obertiefendorf, Untertiefendorf, Hohendorf and Töpen also belonged to this so-called rural community . Obertiefendorf also belonged to Töpen in church and school. Obertiefendorf has belonged to the Free State of Bavaria since 1918 and to the district of Hof since 1939.

After the Second World War , life in the village was significantly affected by the proximity to the inner-German border and the location in the border area . This period only ended in 1989 with the turnaround and peaceful revolution in the GDR .
