Hengstfeld is situated at an elevation of 508 m in the east of the district Schwäbisch Hall in the northeast of Germany's state of Baden-Württemberg. Until 1974 it was an independent municipality. On 1 July 1974 it was merged into the municipality of Wallhausen.

Although archaeological finds demonstrate settlements in the pre-Roman period and in the early Middle Ages, there does not seem to have been a continuous settlement. The oldest known written document mentioning Hengesfelt dates from 1230. The parish of Hengstfeld was first mentioned in 1285.

The present Protestant church of Sankt Lambert [bottom centre picture, left] was built in 1837. The only parts remaining from the medieval church are the lower parts of the tower. The tower was heightened in 1901; the picture ist thus labeled Neuer Turm, 'new tower'.
The building to the right the church is labeled Altes Schulhaus, 'old school building'.

The bottom left picture on glass no. 0000 shows a view labeled Handlung von Steinbrenner, i.e. 'Steinbrenner's store'.
