Until the 19th century

Around the year 1000, Bishop Heinrich von Würzburg founded a Benedictine monastery in Billigheim, as evidenced by the first mention of the place as "Closter Bullikhemb".

In 1361 the village and monastery became Electoral Mainz and were administered by the Allfeld winery . In 1462 Billigheim was besieged and attacked by Count Palatine Ludwig von Zweibrücken . Under the command of Hans von Gemmingen , the place was successfully defended and the attackers were defeated. The peasant war and the Reformation in the 16th century weakened the monastery and in 1584 it was finally overturned by Archbishop Wolfgang von Dalberg . Allfeld's cellar was also the court master at Billigheim. Around 1700 the headquarters of the winery was moved from Allfeld to Billigheim.

Kurmainz was secularized by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss and the Billigheim winery fell to the Principality of Leiningen in 1803 . The princes of Leiningen built a castle in the village in 1803, which was destroyed by fire in 1902.
