history
The area was settled by Celto-Romans around AD 600 , who retreated from the advancing Slavs .
In the 12th and 13th centuries Stockenboi belonged to the county of Ortenburg . Under Emperor Ferdinand II , the Tscherniheim glassworks were built at the foot of Alpe Golz in 1621 and existed until 1879. The energy of the Weißenbach was used for sawmills, mills and iron hammers; this industry also fell into disrepair in the 19th century. The municipal areas of Stockenboi and Paternion are almost congruent with the territory of the former rule Paternion .
The current cadastral parishes emerged from an office of the Paternion rulership under Emperor Joseph II , from which three local parishes Stockenboi, Wiederschwing and Ziebl were initially constituted in 1850, but which were merged to form the Stockenboi parish in 1865. The municipal boundaries remained unchanged until 1973, when the eastern shore of the Weißensee came from the municipality of the same name at Stockenboi.
At the beginning of the 1930s, the Stockenboi Graben was the holiday destination of the painter Max Liebermann , whose pictures today show dilapidated courtyards. Also a Stockenboi vacationer was the writer Walter von Molo , who sketched the relationships and bizarre figures of the Stockenboi ditch in his novel “The Divorce”.
