history

Oberwall is recorded for the first time in 1031 in the property register of the Benedictine monastery St. Emmeram in Regensburg, which the monastery provost Arnold had built. The hamlet belonged to the Litzlohe provost of this monastery. The hamlet is also indirectly mentioned in 1390, when Heinrich der Sygersdorfer / Syrsdorfer, sitting in the "lower forest", appears as a documentary witness. The place name also appears "Oberwahl", which became today's "Oberwall". From 1518 to 1530 the compatriot Thoman Moringer zu Wald is mentioned, after him Sebastian Crazer. When, in the Thirty Years' War in 1639, the ducal government of Amberg requested reports from its subordinate offices about the availability of troops in the individual locations for the winter quarters, the Pfaffenhofen Office reported three courtyards from "Wahl" as eligible.

Towards the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, the hamlet consisted of four half-farms, which were paid for by the Pfaffenhofen caste office and where the subject families Seiz, Fürst, Geisler and Wolf sat. The community owned a shepherd's house. The Pfaffenhofen Nursing Office exercised the highest jurisdiction. The repertory for the topographical atlas sheet Neumarkt from 1836 shows that Oberwall now consisted of five courtyards and that a “brandy distillery” was operated here. Later, around 1900, only four courtyards or residential buildings are mentioned again. The Marienkapelle between Unterwall and Oberwall was built by both places in 1913 and was maintained in the period that followed.

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806) Oberwall was assigned to the Haimburg tax district , and around 1810/20 to the rural community of Haimburg, which in addition to Haimburg and Oberwall also included Unterwall. This community was located in the district court of Pfaffenhofen in the rain district , which was moved to Kastl in 1824 and was then called the district court of Kastl . In 1939 the community of Haimburg was dissolved, Oberwall came with Unterwall to the community of Berg in the district office and later the district of Neumarkt.

Ecclesiastically, Oberwall belonged to the Catholic parish Litzlohe , where the children also went to school. On September 1, 1937, the hamlet was changed to the Berg parish.

Despite the significant increase in the number of residential buildings in the 1980s, the number of inhabitants has remained more or less constant since the 19th century at around 25 to 30.
