history
Description of coat of arms : Three red brick towers in silver .
middle Ages
Allenweiler belonged to the Ochsenstein lordship . It was a fiefdom of the Bishop of Metz . When the family of the von Ochsenstein extinct in the male line with Georg von Ochsenstein 1485, the inheritance came through his sister to the counts of Zweibrücken-Bitsch .
Modern times
In 1570 there was another inheritance that brought Allenweiler to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg : Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510; † 1570) and his brother Simon V. Wecker , who died in 1540, each left only one daughter as heir. Count Jakob's daughter, Margarethe (* 1540; † 1569), was married to Philipp V von Hanau-Lichtenberg (* 1541; † 1599). The inheritance resulting from this constellation also included the rule of Ochsenstein. In the administrative structure of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg, Allenweiler was added to the Westhofen office . Philipp V von Hanau-Lichtenberg immediately carried out the Reformation in the inherited areas , which, like the rest of his dominion, now became Lutheran .
With the reunion policy of France under King Louis XIV , the Westhofen and Allenweiler offices came under French sovereignty. After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , the inheritance - and with it Allenweiler - fell in 1736 to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , the hereditary prince and later Landgrave Ludwig (IX.) of Hesse-Darmstadt . With the upheaval started by the French Revolution , the Westhofen office became part of France and was dissolved in the ensuing administrative reforms.
By decree of December 8, 2015, the Allenwiller community was merged with Birkenwald , Salenthal and Singrist on January 1, 2016 to form the Commune nouvelle Sommerau in the equally new Grand Est region. The municipality of Allenwiller belonged to the canton of Saverne in the Bas-Rhin department in Alsace . She was a member of the Communauté de communes de la Sommerau .
