history

The first mention of Johannisberg can be found in a document from 1323, in which the Lords of Rennenberg gave the Archbishop of Trier a Hunsprech court as a fief. The original name of Hüngsberg and the neighboring Johannisberg was Heunsburg , which denotes the seat of a Honnen, the head of an honor . Later Johannisberg was called "old Hunsberg" ( dialect "Althüsbrich"), while Hüngsberg appeared under the simple name "Hunsberg" (dialect "(Nöü-) Hüsbrich"). Johannisberg belonged to the Honschaft Windhagen in the parish of the same name and was under the administration of the Electoral Cologne Office of Altenwied .

In the oldest documents only “Hüngsberg” is mentioned. Only from around 1660 onwards one differentiates between “Althüngsberg” and “Hüngsberg” and from 1817 at the latest the names Johannisberg and Hüngsberg are official. In an inventory of all settlements in the Altenwied office, one house was counted in 1660 in the old Hunsberg , while four houses are listed in Hunsberg . In 1669 a Johann Adam Eschenbrender owned an estate in Althüngsberg. Eschenbrender operated a mine north of the village in which copper luster and iron spar were extracted, which were then smelted in the Hammerhof near Unterelsaff . At the end of the 17th century, the place got its current name after the landowner and mine owner. At that time the noble family Schoenebeck were also wealthy here.

In Prussian times (from 1815) Johannisberg remained part of the Honschaft, later the municipality of Windhagen, since 1823 in the administrative district of the Asbach mayor . In the context of censuses , the place was recorded together with the nearby copper mine and under the name Johannesberg until at least 1828 , in 1843 it comprised four residential and five farm buildings. By 1885 the number of residential buildings had doubled. Johannisberg never grew beyond what was then achieved.
