history
In 1318 the place was first mentioned as Dyfendal . It seems here a Marian sanctuary have found that 1,330 of the Wormser bishop and in 1380 by the papal legate , Cardinal Pileus de Prato each one drain was awarded. On June 24, 1362 the Counts Friedrich the Elder and Friedrich the Younger of Leiningen donated two perpetual masses on the St. Mary's and St. George's altar there, because of the “great Genade and Aplaz that can be found in the Godeshuse of Our Dear Frauwen in Dyefendal behind the Nuwenliningen. ” This church stood on the site of today's Protestant parish church. In the new, Catholic branch church of St. George, there is a large, Gothic wooden relief of St. George , with a representation of a castle, which probably comes from the George altar of the old pilgrimage church.
At the Neuleiningen cemetery is the executioner's cross , donated in 1703 by the count executioner Servacius Westheim, who lived in Tiefenthal , with a corresponding inscription.
From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Tieffenthal was - as the spelling at the time - incorporated into the canton of Grünstadt and the seat of its own mairie. In 1815 the village was added to Austria after the Congress of Vienna . Just one year later, like the entire Palatinate, it moved to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 Tiefenthal belonged to the Landkommissariat Frankenthal ; from this the district office of Frankenthal emerged.
From 1939 the community was part of the Frankenthal (Palatinate) district . After the Second World War , the place became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform , the place moved to the newly created district of Bad Dürkheim . Three years later it became part of the also newly created Verbandsgemeinde Hettenleidelheim . In 2018 the association was assigned to the community of Leiningerland .
