history

The origin of the place name is controversial. On the one hand, it can be assumed that a personal name formed the basis. So Hohnsberg could be interpreted as the "mountain of a Huni". This person is likely to have been a Frankish nobleman who was supposed to secure the colonization of the Franks in the region by settlement. On the other hand, the name, "mountain with many partridges ", also suggests natural occurrences in the area.

The Church of St. Michael in Hohnsberg

Hohnsberg was first mentioned in the sources in 823. The second mention did not follow until around 1309. At that time, the Counts Rupert VI. and Hermann III. zu Castell at the instigation of her feudal husband Cunrad Ortolf, whose goods were transferred to the rising Cistercian monastery of Ebrach . Among them was “Honsperc”. In 1316 the village reappeared as "Hunsperc". In 1319 Frederick II zu Castell awarded further goods to the Ebrach Abbey, this time the place was called "Hunburc".

In 1334 the village received its own pastor and the church was elevated to a parish church . Ebrach, which previously had many goods in the village, rose to become the only village lord in the 14th century. In 1369, Gerlach von Hohenlohe gave the Cistercians the tithe "ze Honsperg uf dem Stegerwalde". The monks only owned the village for a short time. However, it is still mentioned in 1407 in the Ebracher Urbar .

In order to secure their power in the remote Steigerwald villages, the monks sometimes awarded individual goods to deserving aristocratic families in the area. In 1448 the Crailsheim brothers were granted some rights in Hohnsberg. In 1484 the Lords of Vestenberg sold their shaft drive in “Haunsberg” to Sigmund von Crailsheim, which made the Crailsheimers more or less the village lords. The village had 1,575 crailsheimisch for centering Burghaslach .

During the 17th century the names of the villages and the owners changed frequently. In 1629 the place was called "Hansperg". During the Thirty Years' War, Hohnsberg suffered severe damage and was sometimes desolate afterwards . In 1681 the residents were partly subjects of the barons of Schwarzenberg , partly the lords of Grub Castle. In the 18th century, the Ebrach monks, Castell and the Prichsenstadt hospital added the tithe lords. The village has belonged to the Geiselwind community since 1978.

Attractions

The Protestant branch church St. Michael is in the north of the village. It goes back to a previous building from the Middle Ages, of which only a relief of the then church patron Michael has survived. During the Thirty Years War , the buildings fell victim to flames. A new church was not built until 1708 to 1713. The upper floor of the choir tower was built with half-timbering; the furnishings are mostly from the 18th century.

In addition to an old Franconian farmhouse, a sandstone gate post has been preserved in the village. In addition, the church and cemetery were classified as a monument.
