History
Pre-Christian Celtic graves shows that there has been settlement for a long time. But the first official mention of the village called "Herigoldshusa" (the house of Herigold) was in 899. From 1549 until the 19. century it was the so-called Hofmark by the Earls of Seyboltsdorf. In 1848 Hörgertshausen became an outonomous municipality. Since 1978 Hörgertshausen is part of the association of administrations Mauern which consists of the municipalities of Hörgertshausen, Mauern, Gammelsdorf and Wang.
