history
Until the church is planted
A gentleman from Schmidgaden was first mentioned in a document in 1123 under the Diepolding Landgraves . The meaning of the name is not entirely clear; it could be derived from Schmiede . A blacksmith would have been the first landlord . Schmidgaden was already a parish in 1326, as can be seen from records of the Diocese of Regensburg .
In the Thirty Years War , Schmidgaden's population was halved. Between 1576 and 1648 the residents changed their faith four times. In 1795/96 Austrian, French and Prussian troops crossed the area during the coalition war . The place belonged to the Amberg Rent Office and the Nabburg Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's political municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .
20th century
In 1917, lignite mining began in Schmidgaden. The United Union of Schmidgaden-Schwarzenfeld produced around 17,500 tons a year in 1920 and had 660 employees. In 1923, however, operations were stopped. In June 1937, Annawerk A. G. from Oeslau took over the mining works of the United Union. In November 1937 the Annawerk A. G. founded the Buchtal AG , ceramic operations of the Reichswerke Hermann Göring with headquarters in Schwarzenfeld, together with the Reichswerke Hermann Göring AG . The newly established company had the Kuxe of the United Union and a forced labor camp with about 750 people.
In 1935 Schmidgaden was connected to the electrical power grid.

coat of arms
Blazon : Under a red shield head, inside a silver scythe leaf, in silver on a corrugated green base a green beech. Coat of arms since 1965. The municipal coat of arms indicates the Schmidgaden family. The colors white and red are reminiscent of the noble family of Paulsdorf .
Culture and sights
The Catholic parish church of the Assumption of Mary in Schmidgaden has developed from a former castle chapel from the 14th century. The former field name "Burgstall" and the remains of the wall at the cemetery speak for it. The castle, which no longer exists today, would then have fallen into disrepair after the Schmidgaden gentlemen had given it up. To the east of the church is an octagonal tower. Under the octagonal tower is the oldest part of the church, today's baptistery. Two bells date from the 15th century, but were re-cast in 1961. A third bell was produced in 1790. Extensive renovations were carried out on the church in the 1950s. The Paulsdorfer's coat of arms stone was discovered during construction work . In 1993 a new organ was handed over to the parish. The northern cemetery wall was partially built in the 18th century. Every weekend after August 15th, the patronage of the Parish Church of the Assumption, a parish is celebrated.
The Monument Via Carolina sculpture was unveiled in 2008.
