history

In 1240 Wildenaw was first mentioned in a document when it came to the then Grünhain monastery with nine surrounding villages . Around 1200 it was laid out as a one-sided forest hoof village. In the middle of the 16th century there were eight landowners, nine cottagers and eleven residents in Wildenau. Even 200 years later, the population was barely more than 150. By 1910 it had grown to 638. On January 1, 1920, Wildenau was incorporated into Schwarzenberg , with the development of which it is completely overgrown. Today Wildenau forms a common district with the Brückenbergsiedlung, construction of which began in 1911. It is partly on the former block corridor of the Friday Estate, a former Vorwerk of Schwarzenberg Castle .

In 1891 Wildenau was ecclesiastically assigned to Schwarzenberg and still belongs to the local St. Georgen parish there . In the 1930s, Wildenau's first Catholic church was built on the Graulsteig.
