history

The place Schwarzenreuth was first mentioned around 1200; at that time the church toe from Schwarzenrueth ( Swartzreut, cum tota decima ) went to Kulmain . The history of the castle is closely linked to the family of the Lords of Hirschberg . This became of considerable importance in the 13th to 15th centuries around the Fichtel Mountains. A "Ruderegus de Hirzperc" was first mentioned in a document on October 12, 1223 and was counted among the Franconian knighthood. In 1355 the seat in Ebnath (Ebenöde) on the southern edge of the Fichtelgebirge moved into the focus of historical records. The brothers Arnold and Hannes (Hans) von Hirschberg bought this Veste Ebenöde (Ebnath) on May 7, 1335 from the Trautenbergers for 200 pounds Heller. A peculiarity of the Hirschberger family was that the properties were always managed together despite different family lines. The Hirschberger family owned Schwarzenreuth from 1355 to 1848.

Paul von Hirschberg (1472–1512) played an important role in the Landshut War of Succession . On August 8, 1504, he put a strong margravial Bohemian armed force under the Bohemian field captain Balthasar Pribisch to flight near Schwarzenreuth and thus saved the Ebnath castle and the village of Schwarzenreuth from looting and devastation. This event is regularly remembered by the “Hirschberger Fähnlein” by recreating the battle.

After the death of Christof Ludwig von Hirschberg († 1595) the two seats at Ebnath and Schwarzenreuth were established. A division of property did not take place even during the Thirty Years' War , in which a Hirschberger had to leave the area because of "false religion". Hans von Hirschberg (1567–1630) built the still existing castle in Schwarzenreuth in 1605, and so the Hirschberg family came to the name Ebnath-Schwarzenreuth. Ebnath and Schwarzenreuth were each for themselves always electoral Palatinate mansions, but were administered together. On October 14, 1799, Franz Bernhard Count von Hirschberg, the sons Franz Amand, Josef and Franz von Hirschberg, left behind by his brother, and the four sons of the deceased Veit Christoph, Georg Franz, Paul Hermann, Judas Thaddäus and Karl Ferdinand von Hirschberg became the last time enfeoffed.

The large, closed condominium property in Ebnath and Schwarzenreuth was sold on January 1, 1870 to the Counts of Castell and Rüdenhausen , who in 1935 sold the property in Ebnath to Forst AG Ebnath. The current owner of the castle is the farmer Franz Kick from Schwarzenreuth, who is trying to renovate the castle.
