Verrenberg is a village in Hohenlohe, Germany and has been a part of Öhringen since February 1, 1972. Today, Verrenberg has about 680 inhabitants.
The first documented proof of Verrenberg was around the year 1242; however, it is thought to have originated between the 9th and 11th centuries. In 1525, the Verrenberger, "Schönmichel" (Beautiful Michel) was the spokesman of the Verrenberger farmers in the German Peasants' War. By a division of Hohenlohe's in 1553, Verrenberg became a part of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg. In 1615, a new ruling Hohenlohe-Pfedelbach line came to Verrenburg. After the end of the Pfedelbach line in 1728, Waldenburg-Barenstein gained the succession.
