history

Breunigweiler probably originated between AD 600 and 750. The first documentary mention dates from the year 1130, when the Archbishop of Mainz Adalbert I donated goods to the cathedral chapter in Breunigweiler. In 985 Briuningeswilare - as it was then called - was a victim of the Salian church robbery .

Until the end of the 18th century, Breunigweiler belonged to the Stauf rule, which was last owned by the Princes of Nassau-Weilburg .

After 1792 French revolutionary troops occupied the region and annexed it after the Peace of Campo Formio (1797) . From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , the village belonged to the French department of Donnersberg and was assigned to the canton of Winnweiler . In 1802 the community had 301 inhabitants: 14 Catholics, 251 Lutherans, 13 Reformed, and 23 Jews.

Due to the agreements reached at the Congress of Vienna (1815) and an exchange contract with Austria , the region became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816 . From 1818 to 1862 Breunigweiler belonged to the Land Commissioner Kaiserslautern ; from this the district office of Kaiserslautern emerged. On December 1, 1900, the community moved to the newly created district office Rockenhausen .

In 1928 Breunigweiler had 283 residents who lived in 65 residential buildings. From 1939 the place was part of the district of Rockenhausen . After the Second World War , Breunigweiler was part of the French occupation zone and in 1946 became part of the newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate . In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform , the place changed to the newly created Donnersbergkreis ; three years later, the community was incorporated into the also newly created community of Winnweiler .

The former church of St. Margaretha was a branch of Börrstadt in 1501 and had the Otterberg abbot as patron saint in 1516 . In 1928, 269 residents were Protestant and 14 were Catholic.
