There are also the desert areas of Kühlohe, Scharlhof and Waldfrieden, which are not officially named districts.

history

Origin of name

The name Wernberg-Köblitz arose in the course of the regional reform from the two formerly independent communities Wernberg and Oberköblitz. Name bearer of the district Wernberg was the castle Wernberg, whose name was first recognizable in 1280 as "Werdenberch" and gradually developed over Werdenberg, Wernberch, to Wernberg. The second part of the place name can be found for the first time in 1277 under the name Kolbilz, which led to Köblitz via Chobolst, Choblicz, Koglicz. As a result of the settlements that arose in the meantime, a differentiation was made between Ober- and Nieder- and today into Ober- and Unterköblitz. From the beginning of the 17th century, the district of Unterköblitz was commonly known as "am Sand". The defining word of the first name is probably “worth” in the sense of “worth, precious, wonderful”, whereby “wern, weren” in the sense of “protect, defend” cannot be ruled out. The second part of the name is derived from the Slavic name * Kobylica, kobyla, "mare, stud".

Until the church is planted

Immediately below the castle, which was first documented in 1280 when the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg sold it to Konrad von Paulsdorf, a few individual buildings developed for associated servants and dependents. These were consulted on the basis of the high jurisdiction granted for the Wernberg rule in 1406 for advice and as lay judges. Significantly, the name Unterwernberg became established in the first half of the 16th century.

The location and the place names Ober- and Unterköblitz speak for extensive scattered settlements in the time of the conquest of the land, which only developed a village character through the church in Oberköblitz. The parish of St. Emmeram in Köblitz, which has been documented since 1286, was and remained in a wide area, also for Wernberg Castle as a religious center.

With the privilege of 1376, the construction of an iron hammer began in Köblitz, to which a chute for the ore mined in Amberg and Sulzbach was attached. From the second half of the 15th century, the east-west traffic flows on the Golden Road via Hirschau-Weiden-Bärnau slowly shifted to the current traffic route, the formerly “forbidden road”, to Bohemia. The trade relations between Nuremberg and Prague became more and more important and thus the crossing point with the ancient connection Regensburg-Eger. The valley basins of the Schilter and Kötschdorfer brooks gained importance in the ascent to the Bohemian Forest. Around 1470 the tavern at the castle was relocated to the valley around the time the Wernberg rule was divided between the Nothaft heirs. Around the same time, a mill was built in the immediate vicinity. Slowly some craftsmen and traders settled there who were farming as a sideline. They only had a modest livelihood. This small settlement was named "Schütthütten". It is reasonable to assume that the name comes from the iron ore distribution station that was also relocated there and originally located in Köblitz. The name for the settlement of Schütthütten, also known as Schüthütt, can be found on historical street maps until the middle of the 18th century. From then on, the name of the castle was also used for the settlement below as Markt Wernberg.

The trigger for the development were stately support measures. Step by step, the two districts of Unterwernberg and Schütthütten grew together from the 15th century and merged to form Wernberg. The then owner Georg Wispeck built the St. Anna Church as a branch of the parish of Oberköblitz, to which he transferred the castle chapel after completion in 1516. After the reign of Wernberg passed to the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg (1530), the council and court of Unterwernberg was given its own coat of arms in 1560. At that time the place had 28 taxable homeowners. In 1583, the municipality was allowed to register its own taxes, and in 1592 the manorial properties in the town were finally transferred to the newly created market. At the same time, Landgrave Georg Ludwig von Leuchtenberg had a new, large bridge built between Unterköblitz and Schütthütten over the Naab to promote traffic in 1589 and obtained the approval of a customs office from the Reichstag in Regensburg as the new Reichshofrat President in 1594. This customs station developed and had several secondary tolls as the main station and Acciseamt ​​Wernberg in 1641.

During the Thirty Years' War, the situation on the main and thoroughfares, which were heavily used by the military, had a negative impact. The place was badly damaged. After slowly recovering after the end of the war, another severe conflagration devastated the entire town on June 10, 1687. It was not until the beginning of the 18th century that the consequences of the war and the effects of the market fire were overcome. In 1723 the place then had 66 properties, whereby the professional structure of the population, small businesses, craftsmen and restaurants shows the high influence of the traffic-related employment opportunities. Then there was the flourishing postal system. Shortly before the Thirty Years' War, the taxi post had already set up a mail run from Cologne and Frankfurt to Prague, which was moved via Waidhaus-Pilsen and thus via Wernberg in the summer of 1618. It seems to have lasted until the end of the Thirty Years War. In 1664, the Taxis'sche Post had received permission for Bavaria to expand nationwide. Maps of postal routes emerged. Schüthütt-Wernberg was shown as a post office on the Finkh map in 1671. In 1705 the post office became the Imperial Imperial Post Office.

From the edict on community formation at the beginning of the 19th century, the market community of Wernberg emerged in a newer form, which in 1828 comprised 554 residents in the settlements of Wohlsbach, Wernberg-Markt and Schloßberg with 116 residential buildings. At the same time the Oberköblitz community was formed from the Diebrunn, Feistelberg, Unterköblitz, Wernberg Bahnhof and Oberköblitz settlements, with a population of 384 with 81 residential buildings.

19th and 20th centuries

The communities belonged to the district court of the older order Nabburg, from which the district office of the same name, which later became the district of Nabburg, emerged in 1862. In 1863 the Ostbahnlinie started operating with a train station in Unterköblitz and named Bahnhof Wernberg.

The population has doubled since World War II. The trigger for the great growth, especially in Unterköblitz, was Sigla, a subsidiary of Sicherheitsglas GmbH from Kunzendorf / Niederlausitz (now Poland), which has been based in Unterköblitz since 1938. This factory was a contact point in the familiar trade for those who had been displaced and offered employment opportunities. Whole settlements sprang up in no time.

The territorial reform carried out in the 1970s had a significant impact on the community. In 1972 the former municipality of Losau was incorporated into Markt Wernberg, and with effect from January 1, 1974, the Markt Wernberg-Köblitz was finally formed from the Markt Wernberg and the municipality of Oberköblitz.

On January 1, 1978, parts of the dissolved Saltendorf community were added. Most of the dissolved community Glaubendorf followed on May 1, 1978. Previously, on January 1, 1971, Deindorf was incorporated into the community of Glaubendorf and on January 1, 1972 Losau was incorporated into the market of Wernberg, Neunaigen into the community of Oberköblitz and Woppenhof into the community of Glaubendorf.

The most recent development is characterized by the construction of the autobahns and the Oberpfälzer Wald junction. The better transport connections favored the development of new industrial areas, which began with the Conrad logistics center.
