history

The territory of the Duchy of Sulzbach with the area of ​​the Sulzbach district judge in the southwest

At the end of the Holy Roman Empire, the Palatinate village until 1777 was under the sovereignty of the Electorate Palatinate Bavaria . It belonged to the district judge office Sulzbach , which was the southwestern part of the Duchy of Wittelsbach Sulzbach . The Catholic residents of the village, which at that time consisted of 13 properties, were assigned to the parish in Heldmannsberg , while the Protestant residents were assigned to those in Fürnried .

During the first half of the 19th century there were also Ödhaag , Ödthal and Schwenderöd , which were either new foundations or eruptions of existing parts of the community. In the course of the municipal territorial reform in Bavaria in the 1970s, the community of Schwend was incorporated into the newly formed area of ​​Birgland on July 1, 1972. In 1987 Schwend had 162 inhabitants.
