History

Bechtsrieth was mentioned in 1408 as Perchtersreuth, in 1436 as Perchtolzriet documented. The name suffix - reuth or - advised, which is related to the word clearing, suggests that Bechtsrieth was created as a clearing settlement in the framework of large land development from the 11th to the early 13th century on the upper reaches of the river Naab and their side runs. The most Gleitsbach, a tributary of the Luhe, location place was probably a clearing, which was headed by a Berthold. Such clearing manager usually led on behalf of the sovereign settlement willing farmers into previously unused areas. The country gentlemen were greatly interested in the development of their lands, as more agricultural land meant greater crop yields and thus higher tax revenues.

The northern Upper Palatinate was at least before the arrival of the first German settlers or Bavarian, but probably even during the first years and decades of clearing work, interspersed with widely dispersed Slavic settlement Islands. This is indicated, for example, the name of the Gleitsbaches and the neighboring village Trebsau that are Slavic after the Erlanger Professor Ernst Schwarz origin. Over centuries of coexistence, the Slavic population went up in the German population.

The Landgrave of Leuchtenberg had long term assets and rights in the place. Around the middle of the 16th century they owned in Bechtsrieth six yards and two fiefs. Around the middle of the 18th century consisted of 26 Bechtsrieth property and a shepherd's house. In addition to the farmers, there was a miller, a weaver, a tailor and a shepherd.
