history

middle Ages

Hohnhurst was a fiefdom from the Bishop of Strasbourg to the Lords of Lichtenberg . The first loan took place in 1274. In the Middle Ages it was a small settlement, possibly just a single farm. Around 1330 there was a first division of land between Johann II. Von Lichtenberg , from the older line of the house, and Ludwig III. from Lichtenberg . Hohnhurst fell into the part of the property that was in future administered by the older line. It was assigned to the office of Willstätt of the Lichtenberg rule . In the 15th century the village was passed on to the von Knobloch family as an after-fief .

When Jakob von Lichtenberg, the last male member of the house, died in 1480 , the inheritance passed to his two nieces, Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474) and Elisabeth von Lichtenberg. Anna had married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417, † 1480) in 1458, who had received a small secondary education from the holdings of the County of Hanau in order to be able to get married. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . Elisabeth married Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Lichtenberg legacy was shared between them. The Willstätt office and thus Hohnhurst became a condominium between the two heirs.

Modern times

Under the government of Count Philip III. From Hanau-Lichtenberg there was a real division of the common condominiums: The Willstätt office came entirely to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg. In return, the Brumath office came entirely to Zweibrücken-Bitsch. Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (1514–1590), after taking office in 1538, consistently carried out the Reformation in his county, which now became Lutheran .

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. In 1736, the inheritance - and with it the office of Willstätt - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte von Hanau-Lichtenberg , Landgrave Ludwig (IX) of Hesse-Darmstadt . Hohnhurst was part of Eckartsweier at this time and has since fallen wildly. With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss the office of Willstätt with the and village of Hohnhurst in 1803 was assigned to the newly formed Electorate of Baden .

On January 1, 1973, Hohnhurst was incorporated into the city of Kehl.
