Heuberg/Buchhorn/Gleichen, Settlement district in Pfedelbach, Germany.

The settlement district extends across a mountain ridge between the valleys of Brettach and Ohrn in the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park.

The Romans constructed a section of the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes around 160 CE, with remains of walls and trenches still visible near Gleichen Lake.

The settlement of Heuberg emerged in 1730 when Count Ferdinand von Hohenlohe-Bartenstein established it through forest clearing and Catholic settler relocation.

The community center in Heuberg-Buchhorn on Lindenstraße accommodates 120 people and requires coordination with the district administrator for reservations.

The Buchhorn Lake, covering 25,000 square meters and fed by groundwater, dates to the 15th century through dam construction.
