history

In a document from 1268 it is stated that the Reichsministeriale (Reichsministerials from 1523 imperial barons, from 1673 imperial counts) from Wolfstein auf Sulzbürg had servants in Hofen, among others. In 1330 the local nobleman and probably Ministeriale of the Lords of Stein is called "Conrad de Hofen". When the Lords of Stein, who at that time still sat at Castle Niedersulzbürg , founded the monastery “Zum heiligen Grab” on Schlüpfelberg as a branch of the Benedictine monastery in Plankstetten , there was also a court among the foundations from their own property. In 1425, Wigalus and Wilhelm von Wolfstein acquired a farm and several farmsteads from the local nobleman Elsbeth Hofnerin zu Hofen to round off their domain around Sulzbürg. From the successors in possession of the Hofnerin, Georg and Albrecht Klackl, they acquired in 1436 "ir dwelling in Hoven with the Hofmark"; Nothing has survived from the Hofner's seat, which was probably near the church. A few years earlier, in 1430, the two Wolfsteiners had signed a contract with the duke that set the limits of the high courts ; Hofen was within the Fraisch district of Wolfsteiner, which reached down to Ellmannsdorf . In 1442 and 1480 Hofen is mentioned as a branch of the parish Weidenwang .

Around 1732, 21 “teams” formed the village with the shepherd's house. Soon afterwards, in 1740, the family died out with the last Count of Wolfstein, Christian Albrecht; his property came as a settled imperial fief (1769 also the allodial property ) to the ducal Bavaria, which set up the Sulzbürg-Pyrbaum cabinet rulers to manage these goods, including those of the village of Hofen. A manorial farm in Hofen still belonged to the "Klösterlein Grab"; The Plankstetten monastery had lost jurisdiction over this farm, but not the income, to the Wolfsteiners during the Reformation. At the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, Hofen consisted of 23 courtyards of different sizes and the parish shepherd's house and was subject to the high and low courts of the ducal-Bavarian, lastly Electoral Palatinate-Bavarian cabinet rule Sulzbürg.

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806), the Sulzbürg tax district was formed around 1810/20 , to which Hofen was assigned. With the municipality edict of 1818, this tax district became the municipality of Mühlhausen around 1820; Since then, Hofen has belonged to Mühlhausen and, as a result of the regional reform in Bavaria, is now one of 24 officially designated parts of the municipality. In 1847 there was emigration to America.

In the local directory for Bavaria from 1961, Hofen is referred to as a "daughter parish of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Kerkhofen ". In 1442 Hofen was still a branch of the (Catholic) parish of Weidenwang , where the Reformation was introduced in 1542 . As a village in the territory of the Lords of Wolfstein, who became Protestant around 1530, Hofen was not included in the Counter-Reformation of the Bavarian Elector, which began in 1621 . In 1923 the youth association Hofen-Kerkhofen was founded, today's regional church community Hofen. The few Catholics of the village who were brought in during the Bavarian period are parish after the Catholic parish of Sulzbürg.
