History

Teuschnitz was first documented in 1187 when the bishop of Bamberg Otto II gave the returning to a Slavic settlement wasteland to the Klosterlangheim. The Abbey should go ahead with the development of the then still covered by dense forest and largely uninhabited region in the north of the diocese of Bamberg. After long home had risen in the following two centuries, one of the wealthiest monasteries in Nordgau, became the Abbey in the 1380s in economic trouble and had some of their possessions to the bishopric of Bamberg sell. This included the now around 25 villages and settlements comprehensive self Teuschnitz, which was transferred back into the possession of the bishops of Bamberg on September 18, 1388.

The exact time at which the market Teuschnitz rights have been awarded, is not known; He can, however, based on two documents from the years 1250, when the place was still referred to as "Village ", and in 1329, as already Teuschnitz the term " market " wore narrow coarse. The year 1390 as the date of the city elevation is only indirectly covered, since a corresponding certificate is missing. However, there are several documents of different Bamberg Prince- Bishops, in which the granting of town rights is confirmed by the Prince-Bishop Lamprecht von Brunn in 1390.

During the Peasants' War of 1525, participating farmers from office Teuschnitz, but not from the city, in the uprisings. After the defeat of the Office Teuschnitz of Prince Bishop Weigand of Redwitz, who was in the city on August 7, 1529, was sentenced to pay a fine of 700 guilders. During the Second Margrave War (1552-1554) was Teuschnitz several times by troops of Albrecht II Alcibiades, Margrave of Brandenburg- Kulmbach, forced to pay higher sums of money, thereby to prevent the looting of the city. In addition, citizens from the city and office in Kulmbach were held as a pledge. The city, whose citizens had made towards the end of the 16th century, a name by their almost militant Protestantism, was the prince-bishop of Bamberg Neidhardt von Thiingen (r. 1591-1598 ) and his successor Johann Philipp von Gebsattel (r. 1699 - 1609) eventually completely re-Catholicised. In the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) were the office and the city Teuschnitz, who were in the immediate border situation to the Protestant Duchy of Saxony, repeatedly plundered by troops passing through. Multiple large parts of this now again Catholic city were destroyed by fires set by the Protestant troops.

By Reichsdeputationshauptschluss the city Teuschnitz went on along with the remaining areas of the Bishopric of Bamberg, in the possession of the Electorate of Bavaria in 1803.
