history

The place Pullenreuth was first mentioned in a document in 1244, it is assumed that the place has existed since at least the beginning of the 11th century. In 1285 the Duke Pullenreuth had it entered in a so-called Salbuch , which described the affiliation to Waldeck Castle:

  • "Redditus bonorum castri in Waldecke" (directory of the goods of the castle of Waldeck)
  • "A ltenpulnreut proprium" (own)
  • "P ulnret unus mansus" (an estate)

In 1286 Pullenreuth was taken over by the Waldsassen monastery .

Incorporations

In 1945 or 1946 part of the community Dechantsees was incorporated. On January 1, 1972, Lochau, Mengersreuth, Pilgramsreuth and Trevesen were added. A small part of the dissolved Poppenreuth community with around ten residents was reclassified to Pullenreuth. The much larger area of ​​the dissolved municipality of Langentheilen, which had included the municipality of Höll and Haid and the remainder of Dechantsees in 1945 or 1946, followed on May 1, 1978.

Origin of the place name

The names of Pullenreuth and the district Mengersreuth end with the syllable -reuth, which can be translated as cleared, cleared, clearing. The beginning of the district name is said to go back to a man named Meingotz. But this is probably a mistake; Mengersreuth is not as old as Pullenreuth (Middle High German: "Pulnruit"). According to this, the name Mengersreuth should go back to the noble family of Mengersreuth (Mengersreuth near Weidenberg in Upper Franconia ), who acquired land in Riglasreuth in 1407 and built a castle there. They expanded their area further to Pullenreuth. However, in Pullenreuth in 1910 they only owned the area to the right of the Hartbach; henceforth this part was called Mengersreuth, the other Dechantsee.
