history

Slavic settlement

There are already indications of settlement from the time before the 6th century BC ( tumulus near Neumaierhof). Long before the turn of the 2nd millennium, Slavic settlers infiltrated the area of ​​the Upper Palatinate Forest from the east and advanced to the course of the Naab. A document from the year 905 ( '… cuidam homini suo nomine Immo in comitatu senioris sui prope aquam que dicitur Loua unam quam sclauus quidam nomine Gruonkin quondam obsederat…' ) reports on a property that King Ludwig gave the child to at the request of Margrave Luitpold Hube, a farm with land, gave Luhe by the water, which a Slav named Gruonkin had previously owned.

Emergence

The origin of the place Luhe should go back to the "intersection of three old streets". Along the Naab, starting from Regensburg , the Magdeburger Strasse ran northwards past Schwarzenfeld , Nabburg , Pfreimd and Wernberg , which led via central Germany to the Wismar Bay . Luhe touched this probably oldest trade route in the Upper Palatinate, which "was named by Claudius Ptolemy from Alexandria in the 2nd century AD". A second old road ran from Nuremberg via Amberg and Luhe to Eger. Another "ancient road", coming from Sulzbach, led via Luhe along the river of the same name to Michldorf , Kaimling , Waldau and from there via Georgenberg to Tachau .

Market Luhe

Luhe was collected before 1280 the market since it first in the Addendum on dieichsgüter Parkstein-Weiden raft for Urbar mentioned the Vitztumamtes Straubing as a market. However, the exact time of the market survey cannot be determined. The privilege of the market rights obtained in the middle of the 13th century was confirmed by Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian in 1331 and Archbishop Johannes VI in 1383. from Prague. This allowed the citizens of Luher to hold two annual markets and one market day every Wednesday. The freedom letter of 1331 also had the granting of own jurisdiction to the content. In 1376 a pilgrim indulgence was granted by the Prague Archbishop Johannes. The old market Luhe achieved great economic importance as an old street junction. There the medieval Magdeburger Strasse, running in north-south direction, crossed with the Alte Heerstrasse (part of the Golden Strasse) leading from Nuremberg to Prague. Another connection existed with Amberg , the center of late medieval iron ore mining. Trade and crafts benefited from the central location. Travelers, carters and draft animals had to be looked after. At that time there were already four mills, several inns, bakeries, butchers and general stores in Luhe. The post car route established towards the end of the 17th century led through Luhe on the Regensburg-Eger route. In 1863 the railroad was introduced. Pavement duty was levied until 1910 . In the 17th and 18th centuries there were all the usual craft trades. In addition to the food industry, there were weavers, blacksmiths, wagons, cooper, leather workers, shoemakers and joiners with special craft regulations. From 1420 beer was also brewed in Luhe.

In 1928 a large part of the Luhe market fell victim to a fire. The fire broke out due to a cable fire during threshing work. The entire development of the market square and many other houses were destroyed (44 properties were affected), and the fire did not stop until shortly before the parish church.

Territorial reform of the 1970s

Today's community Luhe-Wildenau was created on May 1, 1978 through the merger of the Luhe market and the communities of Neudorf bei Luhe and Oberwildenau (with Unterwildenau, which was incorporated on April 1, 1928) with the simultaneous incorporation of parts of the dissolved communities of Engleshof (Meisthof and Seibertshof ), Glaubendorf (Faithwies) and Rothenstadt (Sperlhammer), initially under the name Luhe and without the addition of market. On June 1, 1979, the community was renamed Luhe-Wildenau and on August 1, 1980 it was made a market.
