history

The history of the area around Töpen began around 1200 when the Lords of Tepen came to this area in the wake of the Weida bailiffs . These died out 200 years later and the gentlemen von Zedtwitz , von Beulwitz and von Feilitzsch were owners of Töpen and the surrounding area in the period that followed. The place names of Hohendorf and the neighboring towns of Obertiefendorf and Untertiefendorf mean high or low-lying village . Töpen was first mentioned in a document in 1310. At that time, Hohendorf was a Vögtisches fiefdom .

The area around Töpen with Hohendorf belonged with the Regnitzland between the 12th and 14th centuries to the administrative area of ​​the bailiffs of Weida , which is why the name Bayerisches Vogtland is also used for this area today . In 1373 they sold their claims to the Burgraviate of Nuremberg , from whose Upper Mountain portion the Principality of Bayreuth later developed. From 1498 the area belonged to his "military district Hof", from which the provincial governing body Hof had developed in the first half of the 16th century . The Töpen area was part of the Hof hospital, caste, monastery and city bailiff's office. With the Treaty of Gefell in 1524 and the agreed adjustment of the borders between Brandenburg-Bayreuth and Saxony , the area around Töpen came completely under the rule of the Principality of Bayreuth. With the Principality of Bayreuth, Hohendorf fell to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1792 , then to France and in 1810 to the Kingdom of Bavaria . This allocated the place to the Mainkreis , which was designated as Obermainkreis from 1817 and as Upper Franconia from 1838 . Due to the royal Bavarian municipal edict of 1818, the Töpen rural community emerged from the Töpen tax district. In addition to Hohendorf, Obertiefendorf, Untertiefendorf and Töpen also belonged to this rural community . Hohendorf also belonged to Töpen in terms of church and school. Since 1918 the place belongs to the Free State of Bavaria and since 1939 to the district of Hof.

After the Second World War , life in the village was significantly affected by the proximity to the inner-German border and the location in the border area . This period only ended in 1989 with the turnaround and peaceful revolution in the GDR . The agricultural district improved its economic base with a fallow deer enclosure and received tourist attention.
