middle Ages

The Sechselberg , first mentioned in 1027, was probably founded around the year 800 and came to Württemberg in the 14th century to the Ebersberg office.

The Althütte districts of Lutzenberg 1407, Kallenberg 1408 and Schöllhütte 1459 were first mentioned in a document . Until the founding of the community in 1819, the localities of the Althütte district were under the jurisdiction of staff and courts in Unterweissach . The place name Althütte , like many other place names in the Swabian-Franconian Forest, with the name component -hütte refers to the production of forest glass in glassworks . The village emerged from one of these glassworks that had existed here until the end of the 16th century and was first mentioned in 1459. This was an accessory for Reichenberg Castle . The remains of a glassworks were found during excavations.
