history

Richtheim is first mentioned in 1311 as "Riuotheim", as a settlement during a clearing.

In 1546, Prince Ottheinrich's landscape councilors sold, among other things, the tithing of Richtheim to the council of Neumarkt to reduce debt . When, during 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 places for winter quarters, the Neumarkt mayor's office listed only five courtyards in Richtheim; all other farms were probably desolate due to the war.

Towards the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, Richtheim consisted of 22 farms, for which four different offices were responsible. Most of them belonged to the Lower Hofmark Berngau , namely a three-quarter courtyard (= the Richtheimer Mühle), three half-courtyards, three quarter-courtyards, two three-tenths, five eighths and two one-sixteenths. The Haimburg nursing office had a half yard, the Gnadenberg monastery judge had a half yard and two quarter yards, the imperial city of Nuremberg owned the eighth yard of Truchseß and the one-sixteenth yard of von Tucher man's fief. The community had a shepherd's house. The high jurisdiction exercised the electoral mayor's office in Neumarkt.

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806), Richtheim was assigned to the tax district of Loderbach, and around 1810/20 to the rural community of Loderbach, which in addition to Loderbach and Richtheim included the Beckenhof and Riebling , later also Kadenzhofen and, at times, Bruckmühle. This municipality was incorporated into Berg on May 1, 1978 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria .

In 1836 the repertory for the topographical atlas sheet Neumarkt reads: "Richtheim, D [orf] bey Loderbach, 20 houses, 1 inn, 1 mill (1 grinding, 1 cutting process) on the Schwarzach". In the 19th and well into the 20th century, the number of inhabitants in the village was around 100 to 150 with around 30 farms. It doubled after the Second World War, with lively residential construction activity.

On May 20, 1860, the Richtheim farmer Margaretha Herzog was the victim of a robbery murder committed by her servant.

Richtheimer Mill

The mill property the size of a three-quarter courtyard was the largest property in Richtheim; it belonged to the Spital zu Neumarkt until secularization and was administered by the Office of the Lower Hofmark Berngau. Around 1800 the miller Thumann sat on it, who gave a monthly devotion to the good death; a brotherhood “of the good death” existed in the Catholic parish of Berg since 1746. The mill powered by the Schwarzach, a grinding mill with a saw, was owned by the Schechinger family from 1843 to 1914. Three years after purchasing the mill, master miller Michael Schechinger built a new chapel at the mill. From 1914 to 1991 the Gmelch family sat on the mill property: In 1925, the grinding operation was stopped after the sawing operation had already been given up. In 1929 the mill building was demolished.
