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: wendelstein.de/Wendelstein/Wendelstein-Info/Ortsteile/Sperberslohe-und-Duerrenhembach/E1100.htm

The hamlet Dürrenhembach is a district of the market Wendelstein in the Middle Franconian district of Roth in Bavaria. Dürrenhembach 1325 was first mentioned in writing in the course of official disputes with Heinrich von Wendelstein. In 1360, the site was mortgaged to the Lords of Wendelstein. In the 15th and 16th centuries was probably exploited exploitation of the surrounding forests and the area quilted. This circumstance also owed it to his place name "Drought on Hembach". In the late 17th century Dürrenhembach was still mentioned in connection with forest damage, vermin infestation and drought. In the middle of the 18th century, there were four farmed farms and still fallow land; From the 1830s on, the spelling "Dirnhembach" frequently appeared in historical documents.
