history

The place was first mentioned in a document from the Wörschweiler monastery from 1239.

The village was devastated in the Thirty Years War , and in 1656 no residents made of sand are listed.

The place Sand belonged to the Electoral Palatinate until 1779 and was assigned to the office or court of Kübelberg, which was established in the 15th century and was subordinate to the Oberamt Kaiserslautern . In 1779, the Kübelberg court, including the town of Sand, was exchanged for the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken and now belonged to the Oberamt Homburg.

After the Left Bank of the Rhine was taken by French revolutionary troops (1794), the municipality of Sand was assigned to the canton of Waldmohr in the Saar department from 1798 to 1814 . The municipality of Sand was under the administration of Mairie Schönenberg. In 1802 the place had 160 inhabitants together with the Hutschmühle.

Due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna , the Palatinate came to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816 . The municipality of Sand in the canton of Waldmohr , which was part of the Land Commissioner Homburg (renamed District Office Homburg in 1862 ) in the Rhine district, remained under Bavarian administration . In 1837 the community Sand already had 327 inhabitants, of which 158 were Catholics who were parish in Kübelberg and 169 Protestants who belonged to the parish of Obermiesau .

In the Bavarian local register from 1928, the rural community Sand, now part of the Bavarian administrative district Palatinate and the district office of Kusel , is described as follows: A total of 485 inhabitants (243 Catholics and 242 Protestants), 80 residential buildings and an area of ​​380 hectares; there was a Protestant and a Catholic school in the village; this included the Hutschmühle with seven inhabitants.

In connection with the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate , the previously independent municipality of Sand with 666 inhabitants was dissolved on June 7, 1969, and from this, together with the also dissolved municipalities of Kübelberg, Schönenberg and Schmittweiler, today's local community Schönenberg-Kübelberg was reorganized.

traffic

In the early 1960s, Sand received a stop on the Glantalbahn , which was built around one and a half kilometers east of the Schönenberg-Kübelberg station. The aim was to revitalize the said railway line in the Homburg-Glan-Münchweiler section. The stop was given up again in 1976.
