In the 19th century agriculture was replaced by cattle breeding, dairy farming and fruit growing. In 1865 a dairy company was founded. While weaving was widespread in the 19th century , around 1900 embroidery brought important additional income to smallholders.
Although detached houses have been built in Horben recently, the village has retained its character as a farming village to this day.
