The place name probably goes back to "Abtshofen", originally it should have been a peculiar court of the abbot of Klingenmünster . According to another interpretation, the place name is derived from the Franconian personal name "Abbo" or "Appo".

The Abbey Klingenmunster belehnte the "masters of Appenhofen" with their belongings in place in a document from the year 1283 a "Konrad von Appenhofen" was mentioned. The knight family died out in the 14th century, successors are the "Knights of Ochsenstein ". "Otto von Ochsenstein" pledged half of the place to "Konrad Landschad von Steinach " in 1369 , "Friedrich von Ochsenstein" sold the other half in 1395 to the Abbey of Speyer with the consent of the abbot of Klingenmünster . Half of the Landschad von Steinach should have come to the Electoral Palatinate in 1484 . In 1709 the Speyer half also came to the Electoral Palatinate.

Until the end of the 18th century, Appenhofen belonged to the Electoral Palatinate Unteramt Landeck , which belonged to the Oberamt Germersheim . In 1785 there were only 24 houses in Appenhofen.

After the French Revolution (1789), the region became part of France in 1793 . Under French administration, Appenhofen belonged to the Canton of Billigheim from 1794 to 1802 , which was assigned to the arrondissement Weissenburg in the Bas-Rhin department (Lower Rhine department). In 1802, the cheap home canton, including Appenhofen, was incorporated into the Bergzabern canton .

In April 1816, the entire Palatinate was finally ceded by Austria to the Kingdom of Bavaria in a state treaty .

Under the Bavarian administration, Appenhofen belonged to the Rhine district and the now Bavarian canton of Bergzabern, which was assigned to the Land Commissioner Bergzabern (from 1862 district office Bergzabern).
