Höhenberg is a district of the market Breitenbrunn in the district of Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate in Bavaria .

geography

The district is located southwest of the municipality in the Upper Palatinate Jura at 472 m above sea ​​level on the Jura plateau approx. 450 m east of the valley of the Breitenbrunn Laber .

traffic

The place is located on a community road that branches off state road 2394 in a north-westerly direction and continues via Wolfertshofen and Siegertshofen to the community headquarters.

history

The meaning of the name "Siedlung zum Höchst Berg" makes sense from the point of view that on the one hand you come from the valley of the Breitenbrunner Laber from approx. 390 m above sea level to Höhenberg as the closest settlement on the plateau and on the other hand the boundary to the valley up to 489 m above sea level increases.

In the Kingdom of Bavaria (from 1806) the municipality Erggertshofen was formed in the Upper Palatinate district / district court of Hemau , to which the villages Erggertshofen and Siegertshofen, the hamlets of Leiterzhofen , Wolfertshofen , Ödenhaid and the wasteland of Höhenberg belonged as parts of the municipality .

With the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality Erggertshofen, located in the district of Parsberg of the district office of Beilngries, was dissolved and the municipal parts were incorporated into the market Breitenbrunn and thus into the district of Neumarkt on January 1, 1972. In 1987 the Höhenberg district had only 5 residents with 2 residential buildings.
