Windmais is a district of the municipality of Bodenwöhr in the Upper Palatinate district of Schwandorf ( Bavaria ).

geography

Windmais is located in the east of Bavaria in the Upper Palatinate in the Upper Bavarian Forest Nature Park , one kilometer east of the state road 2398 from Neunburg vorm Wald to Bodenwöhr.

history

In the area between ore houses , wind maize, Buch , Pingarten and Taxöldern , iron ore was mined in the Middle Ages. At the end of the 11th century, the Regensburg Schottenkloster St. Jakob was founded in the course of a last wave of Irish monasteries on the European continent.

As early as 1708, Land Marshal Dietrich Heinrich Freiherr von Plettenberg von Strahlfeld , who had remained childless, stipulated in his will that Strahlfeld, Schwärzenberg, Kürnberg and Altenkreith should be offered for sale to Abbess Maria Lindmayer from the Carmelite Monastery in Munich after the death of his wife Margarita Magdalena (née von Muggenthal ) and in second place the Schottenkloster St. Jakob in Regensburg. However, Baron Friedrich Arnold von Plettenberg, who lived on Stamsried, was able to acquire the goods mentioned for a transfer fee in 1742. He had only paid part of the amount to the Schottenkloster, so that they sued for the surrender of Hofmark Strahlfeld and in 1747 was also right. The Schottenkloster then took possession of Strahlfeld. It had few properties in the Neunburg vorm Wald area. The St. Jakob Monastery had bought Hofmark Strahlfeld, which included 21 basic subjects in Windmais, for 42,000 guilders.

Tax district

At the beginning of the 19th century, Blechhammer, Buch, Erzhäuser and Windmais belonged to the Buch tax district. The Kingdom of Bavaria was divided into 15 districts in 1808. These districts were named after rivers based on the French model ( Naabkreis , Regenkreis , Unterdonaukreis , etc.). The districts were divided into district courts. The district court district Neunburg vorm Wald had 55 tax districts, including Buch with 6 properties. Erzhäuser, Windmais and Blechhammer belonged to the Buch tax district.

Community membership

The district courts should in turn be divided into individual municipality areas. In 1820/21 the community of Windmais was established with 20 families. This included Buch with six families and Pechmühle with one family. In 1830 the municipality of Windmais was dissolved and attached to the municipality of Erzhäuser. On May 1, 1978, the municipality of Erzhäuser with Windmais and parts of the dissolved municipality of Altenschwand were incorporated into Bodenwöhr.
