history

Until the 19th century

Tännesberg was first mentioned in 1150 in the tradition code of the Reichenbach monastery . At that time Abbot Erchinger transferred the Weidental and Willhof estates to Reginger de Tegenisperc for administration. In this context, an Otto de Tegeninsperc appeared as a witness at the transfer.

Reginger and Otto were vassals of the powerful Diepoldingen, the Margraves of Nabburg, who were enfeoffed with the Cham and Nabburg brands towards the end of the 11th century. At that time there was a castle in Tännesberg, which the margraves called their property (Allod) and employed followers or servants there for administration.

After the Diepoldinger dynasty died out, the Tännesberg castle and rule came to the Counts of Sulzbach, who were inherited by the Counts of Ortenburg in 1188 . They set up their own ministerials in Tännesberg. They came from the Paulsdorfer family , who can be identified with Henricus de Teininsberg and in 1237 with Friedrich von Tännesberg. In 1276 at the latest, the Paulsdorfer named themselves after their new headquarters in Tännesberg ; In 1280 the rule passed into their possession.

In 1400 the Paulsdorfer sold their possessions in Tännesberg to Ruprecht III. from the Palatinate and Tännesberg became an (Upper) Palatinate maintenance office of the Wittelsbachers in the Amberg rent office . Heinrich Frickenhofer seems to have been the first keeper for the "Denelsperc".

When the Palatinate Lands were divided, Tännesberg came to the Neumarkt-Neunburg Palatinate and the new lord, Count Palatine Johann, made the place a market in 1412. In 1570, Count Palatine Ludwig granted a grant of 210 guilders to build a first wall. As part of the Reformed line of the Wittelsbacher, Tännesberg, which had had a Catholic pastoral office since 1326, became Protestant.

In the Thirty Years' War the Upper Palatinate and thus also Tännesberg came to the Bavarian Wittelsbachers and Elector Maximilian I of Bavaria reintroduced the Catholic faith in Tännesberg in 1625.

The Thirty Years War brought various catastrophes. The plague broke out in Tännesberg as early as 1634 . At that time there were only five couples living in the market. In 1639 40 houses burned down and the market walls had collapsed for lack of building money. Three years later, Octavio Piccolomini's troops marched through the village and the Tännesbergers had to take in soldiers. Another fire in the same year caused the church tower to collapse and damaged the town hall and several houses.

In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

In the night of August 4, 1839, the place burned down almost completely, which is why it was decided to realign the land.
