History

About the early days of settlement Schnaittenbach, especially the founding, no written records exist.

Well in pre-Roman time a trade route from Kosching ( Roman fort ) ran over Velburg, Pielenhofen, Rensbach, Heimhof, Erlheim, Amberg, Aschach, Schnaittenbach, Luhe, on to the raft, Tirschenreuth and Eger. Expected early on in the place where this ancient and largely vanished road crossed the creek marriage, a settlement have arisen. This was probably an extension or clearing settlement, at a border Bach ( sneite: border ) had been created and had long existed before their first mention.

On April 23, 1271 Schnaittenbach came first documented appearance. In this document, with the counts of locations Burg- Murach their rights and possessions around the book mountain to the Wittelsbach Duke Ludwig II sold, also consisting of two districts Obernsneitenbach and Nidernsneitenbach village Schnaittenbach is mentioned. The two districts were named for their location on the marriage Bach. Among the varieties sold there were also the today 's city area belonging places Sitzambuch, Merten Mountain, Döswitz and Trichenricht.

1285 was the second documented mention Schnaittenbachs and it is to learn that in Obernsneitenbach two courtyards and in Nidernsneitenbach nine fief and a mill that emerged later named Angermühle existed. The previous district Nidernsneitenbach again had the name Sneitenbach adopted in the latter deed, from which he had emerged.

To 1313, the two districts joined together to market Schnaittenbach. With the right conferred by the Wittelsbach dukes Market Law Municipal Constitution, the market jurisdiction and completely unusual for a market high and blood jurisdiction were connected, which owned the market in the late Middle Ages, but could not say and eventually lost to the county judge of Amberg. From this time the judge of Schnaittenbach remained only the right of the first Zugriffes and the first -examination; then had to be delivered to the county judge of the Amberg delinquent after two days.

The 1398 first appearing Hammergut Unterschnaittenbach, which was sold with this deed of Count Palatine Rupprecht II to the Hans Kastner of Amberg was politically remained a separate community. With the aforementioned Nidernsneitenbach it was not the same contrary to frequently expressed suspicions.

The parish church of St. Vitus Baroque style around 1712 in the course of expansion.

The market Schnaittenbach was fastened with a ring of walls. The attachment consisted of half a meter thick, nearly four meters high surrounding walls, which crashed in the north to the Great Pond. Three gates locked originally from the market. The Upper or Hirschenauer gate in the west, the Lower Gate in the east the property Heldmann / Popp Wastl and Lohtor at the end of Rosenbühls in the south. A devastating Great Fire, the 96 property destroyed 79 houses and 49 barns in 1817, also marked the end of the market attachment. 1830 was " a big water ", the market was flooded two feet high. The pond dam in forestry crack and was not rebuilt, mills and houses were damaged.

Even at the end of the 18th century was Schnaittenbach by documentary tradition in a desperate economic situation and in 1802, the magistrate complained that the citizens wanted to send their sons to learn not a craft, but relied only on agriculture. There were in place in 1805, more than 60 tradesmen and artisans, such as turners, weavers, stocking knitters and tanner.

It was a godsend for Schnaittenbach, as in 1833 the destitute accountant Daniel Christoph Stadel Eduard Kick in the Lion's landlord Johann Popp built a kaolin plant, thus paving the Upper Palatinate kaolin. The construction of the railway line Amberg- Schnaittenbach in 1898 promoted the development.

After the horrors of the two world wars, the market took particular after 1945 (at that time had Schnaittenbach about 1800 inhabitants ) by the large number of displaced persons and new business settlements, such as the company Kerb-Konus, a big boost. This meant that Schnaittenbach became a town by the then Interior Minister Dr. Wilhelm Hoegner on 24 October 1954.
