history

Until the end of the 18th century Hohenfichten was under the sovereignty of the Principality of Bayreuth . At that time the village belonged to the village denunciation of Gesees in which the Stadtvogtei Office Bayreuth the village and community domination exercised. The high jurisdiction over the place was exercised by this office, this in its role as Fraischamt .

In 1791/1792 the last margrave of the Franconian Zollern line , Karl Alexander , renounced his domains in exchange for a life annuity and handed them over to the main royal line of the Hohenzollern rulers in Berlin . These incorporated these areas into the Prussian Kingdom and summarized them as Ansbach-Bayreuth . The administration was transferred to the governor Karl August von Hardenberg , who resided in Ansbach . After the Prussian defeat in the Fourth Coalition War , Hohenfichten and the entire Principality of Bayreuth were placed under a military administration set up by the French Empire in 1807 . After the Kingdom of Bavaria had bought the principality in 1810 , Hohenfichten became Bavarian.

As a result of the administrative reforms in the Kingdom of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century, Hohenfichten became part of the rural community of Gesees with the second municipal edict in 1818 , which also included the village of Spänfleck , the hamlet of Eichenreuth and the wasteland of Thalmühle . In 2019 Hohenfichten had 22 inhabitants.

The local public transport serves the village at a bus stop of the VGN bus line 372 . The quickest train station is in Creußen on the Schnabelwaid – Bayreuth railway line and the closest long-distance train station is the main train station in Bayreuth .
