history

The farm is first mentioned in a document in 1480, but was probably settled in pre-Christian times. A nearby cemetery from the Iron Age speaks for this .

The historical name Hundshausen could be traced back to a Hundo, the head of a Franconian hundred in the time around 700 to 1000 AD. The derivation of the name from a giant or Hun who, as a scattered rider of the Hun army defeated in the Catalan fields (France) in 451 AD, is said to have remained completely exhausted on the Treiser Schock, is rather legendary.

At the end of the Middle Ages, the Honshäuserhof was, together with the Beurenhof, part of the Trier Dompropteilehn, which was temporarily held by Frei von Treis . The noble families Print von Güls and Print von Treis, von Arenthal, Schönhals von Albrechtsrode and von Eltz are known as feudal people.

However, part of the farm was already in civil hands in the 16th century, namely the Steffens, Welschbach and Traben families.

The Oppenhäuser and Bleser families are known as courtiers. As part of the secularization that took place during the so-called French era , the tenant Josef Bleser bought various farm shares from 1799. In 1816 the farm burned down. It remained in the possession of the Bleser family until 2000.
