The rural community of Stegenthumbach was established in Bavaria in 1818 on the basis of the municipal edict . Before the Grafenwöhr military training area was expanded in 1936, it consisted of the districts of Boden im Tal, Breitenlohe, Hotzaberg, Kleinkotzenreuth, Netzart im Tal, Römersbühl, Weidlberg, Weihern and the village of Stegenthumbach. In 1933 the community had 336 inhabitants. The villages of Boden im Tal, Netzart im Tal, Römersbühl, Stegenthumbach and Weihern were replaced in 1936 and the residents resettled.
