The original name of Hüngsberg and the neighboring Johannisberg was Heunsburg , which denotes the seat of a Honnen, the head of an honor . Hüngsberg was later given the name "Hunsberg" ( dialect "(Nöü-) Hüsbrich"), while Johannesberg appeared under the name "old Hunsberg" (dialect "Althüsbrich"). Hüngsberg belonged to the Honschaft Windhagen in the parish of the same name and was under the administration of the Electoral Cologne office of Altenwied . At the beginning of the 15th century, the noble family of the lords of racesberg , residing in the castle of the same name above Linz, were wealthy in the place. In an inventory of all settlements in the Altenwied office in 1660, four houses were counted in Hunsberg (Hüngsberg).
