The former Ulrichsgrün, named after the war Oldrichov was looped like all other border villages of the Egerlandes, so that from the former farming village with 31 house numbers nothing more can be seen. The first written mention dates from the year 1293, when Albrecht Nothaft renounced from Falkenau on the feudal rights in favor of the Egerer Klarissinnen. The village belonged in 1322 to the pledged Egerlandorten (Fraisch). In 1447, the village was sacked by Saxon troops, burned down in 1452 by the Bohemian people and suffered the same fate in 1469 by the "imperial Friedrich von Schwamberg". In 1563, the plague raged and in 1596 the Tille district was looted by Walloon mercenary troops. Then there was a rebuilding, as the previously densely packed Waldsiedlerdorf leveled and built the new Ulrichsgrün. The resulting town plan existed until the 20th century. 1850 Ulrichsgrün was incorporated the large community Altalbenreuth. Eight villages now formed the community, which existed until 1945. Today Altalbenreuth (Stary Albenreuth) - current place name Mytina - belongs to the municipality Lipova (Lindenhau). From 1846 Ulrichsgrün was cut off from his parish Neualbenreuth by the "new Bavarian border", finally excreted in 1857 and assigned to the parish Palitz.
Ulrichsgrün always remained a farming village. Only a few men went to the sulfur mines Pfaffenreuth, as their ancestors had worked in the Neualbenreuther and Ernestgrüner mines in the 16th and 17th centuries. In 1926, the Eger Alpine Club built a refuge on the western slope of the Tillenberg, which was soon also very popular because of its beautiful view of the Fichtelgebirge. The Tillenhaus was canceled after the war.
