History
The first settlement of the area around Münchberg probably dates back to the 10th century. The origin of the name “Münchberg” is still a matter of debate. Some believe that the name derived from monks who were said to have lived in the town. That is why a monk was included in the town’s coat of arms. However, there is no prove to this theory. Documents first mentioned Münchberg as "Munchiberc" in around 1224.
Between 1938 and 1978, Münchberg was district town of the district of the same name. Because of its once-thriving textile industry, Münchberg was sometimes referred to as the “Textile Town of Bavaria.”
