history

Schwarzenbach was first mentioned in a document on December 14, 1388. In the Middle Ages there was iron and copper mining there. The barons of Reitzenstein had a manor there. The former Oberamt of the Prussian Principality of Bayreuth , which had been Prussian since 1792 , fell to France in the Peace of Tilsit in 1807 and became part of Bavaria in 1810. Schwarzenbach had important magistrate rights. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 . The market Schwarzenbach am Wald was elevated to a town on April 28, 1954.
