Hiltrachtshofen

Hiltrachtshofen is a deserted area in the Legelshurst district , which in turn is a district of Willstätt , a municipality in the Ortenaukreis in Baden-Württemberg .

Hiltrachtshofen belonged to the lordship of Lichtenberg and there to the office of Willstätt . Around 1330 there was a first division of land between Johann II. Von Lichtenberg , from the older line of the house, and Ludwig III. from Lichtenberg . Hiltrachtshofen fell into the part of the property that was managed by the older line in the future.

At an unknown time, probably in the 15th century, the village fell into desolation.
