history

As a result of the administrative reforms carried out in the Kingdom of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century , the independent rural community of Spies was founded, which also included the parish village of Riegelstein as the seat of the community, the villages of Eichenstruth and Illafeld and the wasteland of Eibenthal . The village of Schermshöhe, which was later assigned to the municipality of Spies, did not yet exist at that time. The nucleus for the development of Schermshöhe is an inn that was built in 1870 on a hilltop that was still uninhabited at the time. This house was built by Konrad Scherm, a former forester who built the restaurant on a piece of land that had been given to him for his retirement.

In the course of the municipal territorial reform carried out in Bavaria in the 1970s , Schermshöhe was incorporated into the town of Betzenstein on January 1, 1972 together with the entire municipality of Spies. In 1987 Schermshöhe had 19 inhabitants.

The connection to the public road network takes place mainly through the district road BT 28 , which passes on the southeastern edge of the town, as well as through the two district roads BT 29 and BT 30 , which join the BT 28 near the village. It is possible to drive onto the federal motorway 9 at the Hormersdorf junction about one kilometer to the southwest. During the day, Schermshöhe is reached by public transport using the VGN regional bus route 386 .
