Until the church is planted

Althegnenberg was first mentioned in a document in 1096 as Haginiberc , which means something like "protected settlement on the mountain". Hörbach was first mentioned in 1127 as Huruuuinin , meaning “settlement on the swampy brook” (from the Middle High German word hurwin for “swampy”). On the south-eastern edge of the village is the castle hill - an artificially raised moth that was surrounded by a moat. In the 12th and 13th centuries, the small castle of the Hegnenberg family, the Burgstall Althegnenberg , stood on the castle hill . The Hegnenbergers were a ministerial family of the mighty Guelphs . Engelschalk and Hermann von Hegnenberg were first mentioned in 1192; They came from Upper Swabia ( Schmalegg near Ravensburg ) and had to protect the Welf Monastery of Altomünster . In their time they were sought-after advisors and confidants of the mighty. They witnessed the coronations of kings, the founding of monasteries ( Fürstenfeld ), and legal transactions by the church, the sovereign and the nobility. With the death of Welf VI. In 1191 the whole of Lechrain passed to the Staufer . Among these, the Hegnenbergers rose to become Reich Ministerials. Only after the tragic end of the young King Konradin (1268) did the possessions of the Hohenstaufen in Lechrain pass to the Wittelsbachers and thus came to Bavaria . The Hegnenbergers were also loyal servants and advisors to the Wittelsbach family. They had extensive possessions in Bavaria and Swabia . Around 1300 they left their ancestral seat and built their new Hofhegnenberg castle four kilometers to the west . Hegnenberg became Althegnenberg. During this time the closed Hofmark Hofhegnenberg was created , a legal structure of seven villages, namely Hofhegnenberg, Althegnenberg, Hörbach, Hausen, Steindorf, Tegernbach and, at times, Steinach. The lords of the Hofmark were the Counts of Hegnenberg-Dux from 1540 to 1848 .

In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , the municipal edict of 1818 created the municipalities of Althegnenberg, which consisted of the districts Althegnenberg and Lindenhof, and Hörbach.

The baroque altars were taken over from the previous church. Before that there was a Romanesque church. A consecration stone and a very rare memorial stone , both from the middle of the 11th century, bear witness to this .

St. Maria mountain chapel on the castle hill

Mountain chapel in Althegnenberg ( Burgstall Althegnenberg ). Friedrich Peter Freiherr von und zu Hegnenberg-Dux had a Marienkapelle built on the castle hill , which was once surrounded by a moat and on which the Hegnenberg castle once stood. The “mountain chapel” as it is popularly called, was built by the Bregenz master builder Jobst Mospruckher as an octagonal central building that is modeled on the Altöttinger Gnadenkapelle. A regionally significant pilgrimage developed for this Marienkapelle , so that in 1762/63 the chapel had to be extended by a nave . In 1883 the interior was given a colorful, decorative setting in keeping with the times. Today, the mountain chapel of the community Althegnenberg owned and run by the Lutheran parish as a place of worship used.
