history

First mention

The place was first mentioned in writing in 1058, when the archdeacon and provost Heysso from the canonical monastery of St. Veit in Herrieden incorporated his inheritance into the Sualafeldgau ; “Hohenberc” also belonged to this genome. The assumption that this refers to the place of the same name near Herrieden is countered by Robert Schuh that the neighboring Streudorf ("Stritdorf") is also listed as the property of Provost Heysso in the deed of 1058 and that Herriedener property in Höhberg is later to be proven in large numbers is. In 1272 a "Hohenberch" was mentioned in a document from Eichstätter Bishop Hildebrand , which also means today's Höhberg.

14th to 18th centuries

In 1358 the monastery chapter of Herrieden bought two goods in Höhenberg from the family property of the swords from Limpurg zu Sinbronn. In 1383 Hans von Cronheim sold his estate in Streitdorf / Streudorf, Mörsach and Höhenberg to Herrieden Abbey; two years later, the Eichstatt Bishop Friedrich IV. Count von Oettingen confirmed this ownership to the monastery. From the 15th century on Höhberg was mentioned (in different spellings) in documents. Around 1460/70 it is documented that the village belonged to the parish of Arberg . In the 16th century, levies on Höhberger goods flowed to the Forest Office and the Bechhofen Vogtei and in the 17th century to the Merkendorf Vogtamt .

In 1665 two subjects paid interest to the Herrieden Abbey, one to Dennenlohe to the local manor, one to Bechhofen, one to the Merkendorf office and two to the Arberg office; there was also a shepherd's house. In 1671 Höhberg was designated as belonging to the parish of Mörsach ; the early mass in Mörsach, donated by the municipality of Arberg in 1469, was raised to a parish in 1477.

In 1732 the ownership structure in Höhberg was as follows: one subject belongs to the Bechhofen Bailiwick, one to the Merkendorf Bailiwick, two to the Ornbau office and two to the Herrieden chapter; in addition there was an acorn subject and a shepherd's house; the big tithe was given to the cathedral chapter of Eichstätt, the smaller by the pastor of Ornbau; the municipality ruled with the Eichstättischen care office Arberg and the bailiwick and high jurisdiction with the margravial superior office Gunzenhausen.

Prussian period

In 1792 the village and the principality of Ansbach became Prussian , but this did not change the landlord's conditions. In 1801 of Höhberg's eight subjects (seven households and the shepherd's house) two were Ansbachian / Prussian, one Dennenlohisch and five were Eichstättisch.

As a result of the secularization of Eichstätter Hochstift the eichstättischen goods Höhbergs were indeed in November 1802 Bavarian , but the former five eichstättischen goods were exchanged with Prussia.

Development in Bavaria

Four years later, on January 1, 1806, the place finally became Bavarian. From 1808 he formed a tax municipality with Streudorf and the hamlet of Oberhambach in the tax district of Wald in the district court and rent office district of Gunzenhausen. In 1811 the three places belonged to the rural community of Wald.

During the next community reform in 1818, Höhberg, Streudorf and Oberhambach were detached from the forest and formed an independent rural community in the new Gunzenhausen district office, formed from the Gunzenhausen and Heidenheim district courts , the also new Rezatkreis , which was renamed Central Franconia on January 1, 1838 . The lower jurisdiction of the Dennenlohe Patrimonial Court , to which a property in Höhberg was subordinate, passed to the Bavarian state in 1831. In terms of church and school, Höhberg was still connected to Mörsach. In 1846 the “Catholic hamlet Höhberg” consisted of ten houses, eleven families and 47 “souls”. This changed little in the 20th century: in 1950 there were 54 people in ten properties, and in 1961 46 people in eleven residential buildings.

Initially located in the district court or, from 1939, the district of Gunzenhausen, the previously independent municipality of Streudorf with Höhberg and Oberhambach was incorporated into Gunzenhausen on April 1, 1971 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria and thus became part of the new district of Weißenburg- Gunzenhausen, initially under the name of the Weißenburg district in Bavaria.

The through road from Höhberg has been expanded since 1963/1964.
