history

On June 8, 1389, a church was consecrated over a spring that was considered to be medicinal. Presumably there was already a settlement of monks and a pilgrimage . Landgrave Johann I von Leuchtenberg founded a Pauline monastery at the church in St. Oswald on August 5, 1396 , to which he incorporated the Grafenau parish. The count donated the villages of Reichenberg , Höhenbrunn, Draxlschlag, Haslach, Schönanger and Grünbach to the monastery from his property . In 1431 the St. Oswald Monastery was handed over to the Augustinian Canons of St. Nikola Monastery in Passau , from whom the Benedictines from Niederaltaich Monastery took over in 1567 . The provost St. Oswald had as Hofmark the lower courts , which was perceived by a provost judge. The landholders only had the right to use the meadows and fields as a long lease .

The municipality of Sankt Oswald was formed from the largest part of the monastery property, which was dissolved in 1803 , after secularization in Bavaria . In 1806 the independent parish of Sankt Oswald was established. In 1876 the church and the former monastery buildings burned down. The present church was built between 1880 and 1882 . The community belonged to the former Grafenau district . In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria in 1978, much of the village was Pronfelden the municipality Spiegelau assigned. On March 1, 1979, the Bayer. State Ministry of the Interior gave the municipality the double name Sankt Oswald-Riedlhütte.
