History

The village in the former Bishopric of Passau was secularized in 1803 with the majority of the Bishopric and the territory in favor of Ferdinand of Tuscany and fell until 1805 with the peace treaties of Brno and Bratislava to Bayern. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria originated with the municipality edict of 1818, the church today.

In the spring of 1933, when the community dedicated a Ritter-von-Leeb House, Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb was among the guests of honor.[3] In June 1940, locals crammed into the Niederl Inn to watch with intense curiosity the movie Eine Nacht im Mai.[4]

Since 1946 belonged to the former glassworks settlement Schwarzthal the municipality Bischofsreut who came to Haidmühle 1978.

On 27 April 1951, the church name was officially changed in Frauenberg Haidmühle.
