history

From 1150, service men from Schwarzach appeared as witnesses according to various monastic notes. The Lords of Degenberg had their ancestral castle northeast of Schwarzach, which was burned down in 1468 in the Böckler War . After 1473 Hans von Degenberg built the new Oberschwarzach Castle in Schwarzach. The monastery-like complex enclosed a large rectangular room, today's marketplace. When the Degenbergs died out in 1602, an electoral caretaker resided at the castle until the 19th century . The former electoral brewery, of which there are still structural remains, was built in 1687. It had the monopoly of brewing wheat beer for the entire Bavarian Forest . The parts of the former castle were integrated into the market square.

Today's community Schwarzach came into being with the Bavarian community edict of 1818 and included the places Schwarzach, Allersdorf, Ay, Baumgarten, Bucha, Bühel b.Schwarzach, Bühel b.Weißach, Burghausen, Degenberg, Edersdorf, Etting, Forst, Gaißing, Harpfen, Harpfenmühl , Haslach, Hinterhof, Hof, Hölzl, Irlbruck, Kumpfmühl, Lindforst, Mühlberg, Penzkofen, Prettbach, Reisachanger, Reisachmühl, Rohrmühl, Schönbühl, Stockach, Thal, Velling, Vorderhof and Weißach.
