history

Horn is mentioned in the 12th century in connection with a noble family of the same name in a donation to the Augustinian canons of Ravengiersburg by Gertrud von Honrein . The document from 1135 and its confirmation by Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa in 1166 are viewed in the literature as forgeries of the archivist Georg Friedrich Schott , but there is a regest of this document in the monastery register from 1600 , so that it can be assumed that it actually existed.

In the vicinity of Horn there are remains of a medieval tower hill castle ( Motte ), the so-called Horner Castle . It could be the seat of this sex. In 1567 Johann von Koppenstein sold the remains of the castle to Meinhard von Schönberg , who also owned Riegenroth . In the 17th century the Koppenstein is called the old ruined castle . The district was still called Horner Burgfrieden in the 19th century .

In the 12th century Horn belonged to the immediate imperial estate together with Laubach and Bubach . In the 13th century, the place was surrounded by ramparts and moats and was therefore also known as the fortress . Horn ( Hohenrein ) is pledged to the Counts of Sponheim in 1302 and then passed to the Count Palatinate . In 1367 Horn was granted limited city rights. In 1410 the place came to the newly created Principality of Simmern and from 1673 back to Electoral Palatinate .

When the Left Bank of the Rhine was occupied by French revolutionary troops in 1794 , the town became French, and in 1815 it was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna .

Since 1946 the place has been part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate .
