history

In 1471, Eberhardt Schenck zu Nidern Simen (Niedersiemau) sold the Kronach hospital, among other things, a mountain and wood, called "the Tohenbergk" between Reuth and Hummendorff . In addition to the hospital, the lords of Redwitz zu Theisenort , from around 1600 those of Küps were landlords on the Thonberg. In 1561 the "Tohenberg" or "Thanberg" was leased to Kronach potters as a mining site for clay. The first residential building on the Thonberg is occupied for the person Herbergsmann in 1708. The planned settlement began. Most of the settlers moved from Reuth to the Thonberg. In 1792 Thonberg had 15 houses and belonged to the manor of the Barons von Redwitz zu Küps.

As a result of the Reichsdeputation Hauptschluss , Thonberg passed into the possession of the Electorate of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century . In 1818 the rural community Thonberg was established. It consisted of five places, the village of Thonberg, the two hamlets of Friedrichsburg and Neuenreuth and the two wastelands Kaltbuch and Sachspfeife. The main town of Thonberg had 83 residents and 17 residential buildings.

In 1862 the rural community of Thonberg was incorporated into the newly created Bavarian District Office of Kronach . In 1871 the main town had 180 inhabitants. The Catholic parish was 3.5 kilometers away in Theisenort, the Catholic denominational school in Küps 3.5 kilometers away. In 1900 the 117 hectare rural community had 401 inhabitants, 79 of whom were Protestant and 322 were Catholic. Thonberg had 233 residents and 31 residential buildings. In the meantime the place had its own Catholic school. Around 1914 Jakob Schedel set up a wicker factory on Reuther Flur, which was moved to Thonberg in 1918. The wicker furniture production continued into the 1950s.

In 1925, 340 people lived in 46 residential buildings in the village. The Protestant residents belonged to the parish in Weißenbrunn, 2.5 kilometers away, and the Protestant children attended the school in Hummendorf, 1.0 kilometers away. In 1950 Thonberg had 397 residents and 51 residential buildings. In 1970 the church village had 412 inhabitants. In 1987 there were 333 residents in 91 residential buildings with 134 apartments.
