Hohenkemnath is part of the municipality of Ursensollen in the Upper Palatinate district of Amberg-Sulzbach .
geography
The place is located in the Hirschwald Nature Park , in the Upper Palatinate- North region and around ten kilometers southwest of Amberg and around 50 kilometers east of Nuremberg.
history
The name of the village was in the oldest documents from 1267 Chemnaten apud Amberg or Kemnaten superior . Later the name Kembnath uff der Höch or Hohen Kemnath is found . The word Kemnath is derived from the Latin caminata or mhd. Cemenate and means a room with a fireplace.
The Kemnath family is closely connected to the history of Hohenkemnath. Stephan Kemnather was commissioned by the Amberg Elector to manage the estate in 1267. Ownership often changed hands and became smaller and smaller through sale; today the castle is privately owned. The palace chapel was expanded in the late 16th century. In 1969 the tower was renovated and the old nave was replaced by a modern one.
On July 5, 1915, a local fire cremated six houses at the southern end of the village. From 1922 the village was supplied with electricity, in 1953 the first houses were connected to the Hohenkemnather Gruppe Wasser Zweckverband and the many house wells had become obsolete . Through the municipal territorial reform of 1971/72, 38 places from eleven parishes with three parishes - Ursensollen, Hohenkemnath and Hausen - in the diocese of Eichstätt and Regensburg , merged to form the current parish of Ursensollen, whose infrastructure corresponds to a small center.
Hohenkemnath had a breakpoint from 1903 to 1972 on the former Amberg – Lauterhofen railway .
