history
middle Ages
The village of Hohbühn was in the Lichtenau district of the Lichtenberg lordship and had been a fiefdom of the Bishop of Strasbourg since 1274 . Together with Linx it formed a peasantry. In 1335, the middle and younger lines of the House of Lichtenberg divided the country. The office Lichtenau - and thus Hohbühn - fell to Ludwig III. von Lichtenberg , who founded the younger line of the house.
Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474) was the daughter of Ludwig V von Lichtenberg (* 1417; † 1474), one of two heirs with claims to the rule of Lichtenberg . In 1458 she married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417, † 1480), who had received a small secondary school from the holdings of the County of Hanau in order to be able to marry her. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Jakob von Lichtenberg , an uncle of Anna, Philipp I. d. Ä. 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule. The other half went to his brother-in-law, Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The office Lichtenau belonged to the part of Lichtenberg that the descendants of Philipp and Anna inherited.
Early modern age

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , In 1736 the inheritance - and with it the office of Lichtenau with Hohbühn - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte von Hanau-Lichtenberg , Landgrave Ludwig (IX) of Hesse-Darmstadt . After 1745 Hohbühn belonged to the Linx mayor's office .
