The Hofmark Hofhegnenberg was a closed Hofmark based at Hofhegnenberg Castle in Hofhegnenberg , a district of the Steindorf community in the Swabian district of Aichach-Friedberg .

In 1399 Arnold d. Ä. von Hegnenberg the ducal fiefdom with the castle to the Friedberg keeper Hans den Pflaumdorfer. The total amount of the Hofmark is recorded for the first time in the deed of purchase, which remained unchanged until the 19th century. Seven villages belonged to the Hofmark: Hofhegnenberg, Althegnenberg , Hörbach , Hausen , Steindorf , Tegernbach and at times Steinach .

In 1462 the dukes Johann and Sigismund appointed Heinrich Adelzhauser to be the keeper of Hegnenberg.

In 1542 Duke Wilhelm IV enfeoffed his illegitimate son Georg von Hegnenberg with the Hegnenberg Court Mark. Georg, born around 1511, became the progenitor of the von Hegnenberg-Dux family , whose last male offspring from a sideline died in 1902.

The Hofmark was dissolved in 1848.
