history
On November 24, 1799, a rich widow was burgled by Johann Bückler , the Schinderhannes .
In 1816 Offenbach came to the Principality of Lichtenberg , a newly created exclave of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld and from 1826 of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha . In 1834 it was sold to the Kingdom of Prussia , which created the Sankt Wendel district from this area . After the main part was separated from the newly created Saar area , the remaining district of Sankt Wendel-Baumholder was created in 1920 , to which the place belonged until 1937, when it was incorporated into the Birkenfeld district.
In the course of the Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform, the place was merged on June 7, 1969 with the neighboring municipality of Hundheim to form the new municipality of Offenbach-Hundheim and reclassified into the district of Kusel.
Infrastructure
There are a total of nine cultural monuments on site, including the nationally known local Protestant church .
In 1904 Offenbach was connected to the railway network when the Altenglan-Lauterecken section of the Glantalbahn was opened. It shared the Offenbach-Hundheim train station with the neighboring town of Hundheim , but passenger traffic was discontinued in 1985. Since 2000 there has been a draisine operation on the Altenglan - Staudernheim section, the former train station has served as a draisine station ever since.
