Reuth was first mentioned in 1434 when Heinrich von Redwitz zu Tüschnitz sold four Sölden to Klaus von Redwitz zu Theisenort . According to a list from the Carmelite Monastery of Bamberg , the settlement, in which seven families lived, belonged to the parish of Weißenbrunn in 1520. In 1532 Wolf Christoph von Redwitz zu Theisenort owned eleven Seldengüter in the village.

In 1600 Reuth was inherited by von Redwitz zu Küps . Later, the manor Küps-Theisenort of the lords of Redwitz zu Küps and the manor Schmölz- Theisenort of the lords of Redwitz zu Schmölz jointly exercised village and community rule.
