history

Weapons and jewelry that were found near Wildenberg around 1900 and are exhibited in the State Archaeological Collection in Munich probably come from a barrow from the earliest Bronze Age around 1500 BC .

The first mention was in 1108 as "Willenberge" in a deed of donation for the church in Gärtenroth . In 1249 Iring von Cunstat in Wildenberg illegally built the first private castle of the Kunstadter noble family on the grounds of the Langheim monastery . In 1331 the bishopric of Bamberg and Dietrich von Redwitz were lords of the hill fort . During this time the small office of Wildenberg also existed. In 1362 the Marschalk zu Ebneth acquired the part of the bishopric of Wildenberg Castle as an hereditary estate and in 1418 the part of those of Redwitz. In the Thirty Years War in 1632 the castle and village of Wildenberg were looted and robbed. In 1700, the bishopric bought the castle and the dilapidated Wildenberg Castle with all properties and rights and had them administered by the Burgkunstadt Office as the “New Marschalk Fief”. In the 18th century, the estate of the Wildenberg manor was sold and the castle became a ruin that was demolished in 1834.

As a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , Wildenberg passed into the possession of the Electorate of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century . In 1818 the rural community of Wildenberg was established. It consisted of the village of Wildenberg and the wasteland Wustung. In 1862 the rural community of Wildenberg was incorporated into the newly created Bavarian district office of Lichtenfels . In 1871 the main town had 193 inhabitants. The Protestant parish was 3.0 kilometers away in Weißenbrunn, the Protestant denominational school was in the village. In 1900 the 426 hectare rural community had 197 residents, all of whom were Protestant. Wildenberg had 192 residents and 35 residential buildings.

In 1925, 182 people lived in 35 residential buildings in the village. The Catholic residents belonged to the parish in Kirchlein , 4.0 kilometers away , where the Catholic school was also located. On January 1, 1927, the Lichtenfels district office handed over the community of Wildenberg to the Kronach district office. In 1950 Wildenberg had 215 residents and 35 residential buildings. In 1970 the village had 164 inhabitants. In 1987 there were 147 people living in 42 residential buildings with 43 apartments.

As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality of Wildenberg was incorporated into Weißenbrunn on January 1, 1978.
