A short history of the town of Lohberg

On 22 May, 1279 the Bishop Henricus, Duke of Rotteneck, in Regensburg gave land (deed of
donation) between Ozzer (Osser), Dwerchecke (Zwercheck) and Hadwich (Arber) to the Monastery
at Rott am Inn for clearing and settlement.

In 1447 Lohberg was mentioned the first time in the books of the monastery. Also, the villages of
Thürnstein, Silbersbach and Sommerau were mentioned in that time.
In 1463 silver mining began in „Loperg” as it was called then. The mining rights were granted by the
Lords (Herzoege) Johann and Sigmund from Bavaria During the so called Hussiten and Löwler wars
many populated areas were devastated and only a few people survived in the villages around „Wingei”.
Between 1502 and 1507 many new settlers came from the Mountains of Loferer, Tyrol

In 1538 the first glass factory was built.
In 1555 Florian Frisch was granted the right to hand down all of Lohberg with approximately 900 acres
of land by the monastery of Rott.
Beginning with the glass barons Frisch, Klingeisen, Hain von Hafenbrädl, Riedl and Schrenk, the
region of Lohberg became the center of glass making in the world with 16 glass factories in the
following 100 years. After the 30 Years’ war the industry was nearly wiped out and had to be rebuilt in
the years after 1679.

In 1687 the farmers was granted the right to own and hand down their farm. (Künische Freibauern)
They were the subject of the „Kurfuerst” and their farms are known as „Waldbauernhöfe” to the
present day.
In 1697 the Monastery at Rott gave Kurfuerst Max Emanuel of Bavaria the land from Arrach to the
Große Arber (Great Arber).
In 1698 the church of St Walburga was built in Lohberg and in 1700 the first glass factory in
Lohberghütte.

In 1822 the villages of Thürnstein, Schwarzenbach and Sommerau along with Lohberg became one
community accepting Lohberg as the center of their community, since Lohberg had a church since
1683 and a school house was built in 1750.
In 1836 the last glass factory was built in the area of Lohberg and did burn to the ground in 1907.
In 1878 construction of the new St. Walburga chuch began. On July 14, 1883 it was opened and
blessed and was destroyed by fire on January 12, 1959.

In the years between 1910 and 1931 the State Road #2154 (Bavaria) was built.
1922 Lohberg was granted its own parish.

In 1969 the community was recognized as „staatlicher anerkannter Erholungsort”.
In 1972 the community of Lohberg becomes part of the county (Landkreis) of Regen,
In 1977 Lohberg wins a case against the state of Bavaria, not to split up its land and give away part
of it, especially the region around the small lake of Arber (Kleiner Arbersee), with approximately 60
square kilometers (6000 acres).
In 1978 Lohberg becomes part of Lam, county (Landkreis) of Cham and therefore part of the
„Regierungsbezirk” Oberpfalz.
In 1980 Lohberg becomes a independent community again.

In 1989 in Lohberghütte the only wildlife park in the Oberpfalz opened with approximately 400
different animals from the region with over 130.000 visitors every year.
In June 1998 the glass picture maker Theodor G. Sellner opened the 17th glass factory in the Old
Church of Lohberg. Therefore the glass tradition of Lohberg was once again carried on. Sellner´s
unique work can be found all over the world in museums and exhibitions.
Early summer 2001 the restorations of the „Schwarzauer Haus” was completed and opened as the
„Glass and Art Gallery of the Bayerischer Wald”. The collection has over 800 paintings, pictures and
glass objects, dating from 1740 to 1990.
From May until October the „Kleine Arbersee Railways” is operated and runs from „The Bavarian
Wildlife Park” (Bayerwald Tierpark) to the nature preserve at the lake „Kleiner Arbersee” with its
geographically fascinating three floating islands.

Today the region of Lohberg with its 2100 people is well known as a tourist area with its scenic land
and countless mountains and hills: Little Osser 1266 m, Great Osser 1293 m, Zwercheck 1333 m,
Great Arber 1456 m, Little Arber 1384 m, Enzian 1285 m, Heugstatt 1261 m, Scharzeck 1238 m and
covered by 85% with mixed mountain forest.
