In the Lorsch Codex , Böbingen was first named as Bilingen in 772 .

After the population fell due to the Thirty Years War , many new citizens settled in Switzerland after 1650 .

From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Böbingen was incorporated into the canton of Edenkoben and was the seat of a Mairie , which was later moved to the neighboring Freimersheim. In 1815 it was added to Austria . Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 the community belonged to the Landau Landau commissioner ; from this the district office of Landau emerged.

From 1939 the place was part of the Landau district in the Palatinate . After the Second World War , Böbingen became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . During the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform changed the community on June 7, 1969 in the newly created district Landau-Bad Bergzabern, in 1978 in South County Wine Trail is renamed . 1972 Böbingen was assigned to the also newly formed community of Edenkoben .
