Breungenborn
Breungenborn is a desert in the northwest of the Baumholder military training area . After the small village had a hundred inhabitants in 1933, it was abandoned in the following years.
Breungenborn was close to the source of the Reichenbach and is documented in 1570 as "Breingenborn", in later documents as "Breunchenborn". The place initially belonged to the Wildgravial High Court on the Heide with the administrative seat in Sien . In 1418 Breungenborn was bought by the Oberstein lordship, which fell back to Kurtrier in 1766 .
Breungenborn was partly assigned to the Evangelical parish Baumholder, partly to Oberstein : Two houses in the community belonged to the Zweibrücken office and thus to the Evangelical parish Baumholder, all other buildings to the Evangelical parish of Oberstein. The population was, however, atypical for the region, predominantly Catholic and therefore belonged to the Catholic parish of Oberstein, which was rebuilt in 1684.
Under the French administration, Breungenborn belonged to the Mairie and Canton Baumholder . This administrative seat remained in place through all changes in the political structure until the municipality was dissolved in 1938.
The Breungenborn district of Leitersthal was located in the northwest of the municipality and consisted of two courtyards.
