Cannot see anything with that spelling. However, in modern Germany, there
are at least:
3 Hohenwart
1 Hohenwarte
1 Hohenwarth
1 Hohenwarthe
ShtetlSeeker at http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm gives
even more possibilities of these variations.
Keep in mind that Germany did not exist until 1871 so it could have been in
a region that is not within modern German borders. For example, there was
a Hohenwarte in Silesia. See http://www.kartenmeister.com/ to find it.
