    A picturesque little village in the middle of the forest. Beautiful old houses owned by the Faber Castel family.

    Dürrenhembach was first mentioned in writing in 1325 in the course of official disputes with Heinrich von Wendelstein. In 1360 the site was pledged to the Lords of Wendelstein. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the surrounding forests were probably overexploited and the area became desertified. It also owes its place name "Dürre am Hembach" to this circumstance. In the late 17th century, Dürrenhembach was still mentioned in connection with forest damage, vermin infestation and drought. [2] In the mid-18th century there were four working farms and still fallow land; from around the 1830s, the spelling "Dirnhembach" appeared frequently in historical documents.

    Between 1874 and 1890, Lothar von Faber bought all the farmsteads and estates in Dürrenhembach and had them reforested. He founded the forest and hunting estate, which is still family-owned, in 1875. The core of a large part of the buildings from the 18th and early 19th centuries is still intact, has now been extensively renovated and is a listed building (see list of monuments in Dürrenhembach).

    Until the regional reform in Bavaria, Dürrenhembach, like neighboring Sperberslohe, belonged to the community of Raubersried. In 1971 all three places were incorporated into Wendelstein; the deer and wild boar enclosure at the Faberhof, which is popular as an excursion destination, was assigned to the market town of Pyrbaum.[3]

      Graf Faber-Castell lives privately with his family in the small town of Dürrenhembach, surrounded by a large amount of forest property. Dürrenhembach is a small hamlet with beautiful houses and was once the summer residence of the Fabers line, first mentioned as a clearing settlement in 1325, a large overexploitation was carried out here in the surrounding forests. The name Dürrenhembach comes from this period, "Dürre am Hembach". At the end of the 19th century, the place belonged entirely to the Counts of Faber-Castell (pencil production) Source: Https://wendelstein.de/Wendelstein/Wendelstein-Info/Ortsteile/Sperberslohe-und-Duerrenhembach/E1100.htm
