In 1874 the hamlet of Hummelberg was separated from the local community of Sitterdorf (municipal community Zihlschlacht) and assigned to the local community of Hohentannen.

Hohentannen used to be on the Sulgen- Bischofszell road . Since it was moved to the valley in 1823, however, the village has been away from the major traffic routes. Agriculture and viticulture were replaced by cattle and dairy farming towards the end of the 19th century; Fruit growing. Embroidery was widespread around 1900. Today gravel mining offers a source of income. On January 1, 1999, the former local communities of Hohentannen and Heldswil and the municipal community of Hohentannen merged to form the political municipality of Hohentannen, one of the smallest communities in the canton of Thurgau. Despite the construction of single family houses, Hohentannen has retained its character as a farming village to the present day.
