history

Political Affiliation

Fegersheim belonged to the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg and there to the Wolfisheim office . Since it was not yet in its inventory in 1480, it was added later. After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , County Hanau-Lichtenberg - and with it the Wolfisheim office - fell in 1736 to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , who married the Hereditary Prince and later Landgrave Ludwig (IX.) of Hesse-Darmstadt . In Hesse-Darmstadt times, Fegersheim was part of the Wolfisheim Office. With the upheaval started by the French Revolution , the Wolfisheim office became part of France and was dissolved in the subsequent administrative reforms.
