history

Reichenperg is mentioned as early as 1395 in the earliest Salbuch of the Counts von Hals with 16 fiefs and a mill. When St. Oswald Monastery was founded on August 5, 1396 by Landgrave Johann I von Leuchtenberg , the heir and successor of Kamm, which died out in 1375 as the owner of the County of Hals , 16 fiefs were given to the monastery to support it.

Around 1450, Peter Smirslick captured the glass maker during an attack on the city of Grafenau and the villages of Höhenbrunn and Reichenberg. From this it can be concluded that there was already a glassworks on the Reichenberg at that time . In 1488 the hut on Reichenberg was first mentioned in a document in the Scharwerk money register of the Bärnstein rule . This made it one of the oldest glassworks in the Bavarian Forest. In 1527, the ironworker Georg Riedl took over the Reichenberger Hütte. Through the Riedls, the glassworks became the Riedlhütte, and finally the place around the glassworks was also named Riedlhütte. A distinction is made between Reichenperg (now Reichenberg) and Reichnberg (now Riedlhütte) on Philipp Apian's land table from 1568 .

Duke Wilhelm V built a hunting lodge here in 1590, which was burned down around Midsummer Day 1648 by marauders from the army camps near Windorf and Riedlhütte . After secularization in Bavaria , the municipal edicts of 1808 and 1818 made the monastery village of Reichenberg a part of the political community of Sankt Oswald, which has been known as Sankt Oswald-Riedlhütte since 1979. In 1987 Reichenberg had 698 inhabitants.
