history

The upper land of the Fsm. Bayreuth with the Thuisbrunn Vogtamt in the southwest

The first part of the name of the village indicates that there used to be swampy terrain in the vicinity. Because the Old High German word "hor" (genitive: "horwes") meant something like "muddy ground, dirt, swamp". In 1550, for example, it is mentioned in a document that the parish clan (i.e. the pasture ) of today's Langenzenner district of Horbach is very damp. The second part of the name "black" refers to the color of the soil and thus also indicates black-colored swamp soil.

Up until the end of the Middle Ages, Hohenschwärz was in the possession of imperial landlords , during the early modern period it came under the sovereignty of the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth . This assigned the place to its bailiwick Thuisbrunn , which formed the most south-westerly located exclave of the Brandenburg-Bayreuth Oberland.
