history
Surname
Altleiningen, originally Leiningen , was first mentioned in a document in 780 in the Lorsch Codex on the occasion of a donation to the Lorsch Monastery . The donation concerned a forest area “in linunga marca” (on the leininger district). The name referred to the linseed tree, a name that was used in the area at the time for both the Norway maple and the summer linden tree . Because both tree species were common on its banks, the Eckbach was called Leinbach at that time . The noble lineage of the Leininger is derived from this, who owned the Leiningerland for centuries and had a linden tree in their coat of arms.
timeline
Since the Middle Ages , Altleiningen has belonged to the Counts of Leiningen , whose ancestral castle lies on a ridge above the village. After the French Revolution had spread to the Electoral Palatinate on the left bank of the Rhine at the end of the 18th century , Altleiningen was also temporarily part of the French department of Donnersberg . At this point in time, Altleiningen was already forming a community with its southern neighbor, Höningen.
From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Altleiningen and Höningen were incorporated into the canton of Grünstadt and the seat of their 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 "Alt-Leiningen" 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 .

St. Jacob and the monastery were built around 1120.

The Jewish community, which was once located on site, owned a synagogue from 1834 , which was profaned at the beginning of the 20th century and subsequently demolished.
