There are different assumptions about the name, so that the name refers to thorn bushes, but also that it goes back to the still small "arid" Hosbach, which flows at its foot. The place used to belong to the Boyneburg (also Boyneburgk, Boineburg called) near Wichmannshausen . In 1654 he came to the landgrave's office in Bischhausen .
