history

The place was mentioned for the first time in 1299 in a document under the name Crebsperck , which has roughly the meaning of Krebsberg . Until 1791/1792, the place belonged to the Hohenzollern Principality of Ansbach , then for a decade to its successor territory, the Prussian Ansbach-Bayreuth . In 1806 it came into the possession of the Kingdom of Bavaria and in 1810 with the border treaty between Bavaria and Württemberg into that of the Kingdom of Württemberg .

As a result of the administrative reforms carried out in the Kingdom of Württemberg at the beginning of the 19th century , the place became part of the independent rural community of Marktlustenau , which also includes the villages of Bräunersberg , Gaisbühl , Halden , Oberstelzhausen , Riegelbach , Schönbronn , Tempelhof and Unterstelzhausen as well as the farmsteads Rotmühle and Schönmühle belonged. Hohenkreßberg has been a district of Kreßberg since 1973, after this entire community was reorganized from the previously independent communities of Leukershausen , Marktlustenau, Mariäkappel and Waldtann as part of the municipal territorial reform . In the course of this communal amalgamation, the previous name of the village was transferred to the new overall municipality and the place itself was instead renamed Hohenkreßberg . In 2018 the hamlet had 24 inhabitants.

traffic
