middle Ages
The oldest surviving mention of Durningen, under the name Deorangus , comes from 724. This was followed by the names Teuringas (742), Thurinca (787), Thuringen (1276) and finally Turningen and Durningen (1371).
The village of Dürningen was a condominium between the rule of Lichtenberg and the Bishop of Strasbourg . The Lichtenberg half was assigned to Allod and the Buchsweiler office, which arose at the beginning of the 14th century as an office of the Lichtenberg rule. Before 1272 the episcopal Strasbourg half of the village was pledged to Lichtenberg. In 1335 the land was divided between the middle and younger lines of the House of Lichtenberg . The Lichtenberg rights in Durningen fell to Ludwig III. von Lichtenberg , who founded the younger line of the house. 1398 Lichtenberger proportion of Dürningen part of the deposit mass, which was the modulation of Hildegard von Lichtenberg at marrying Graf Simund clock of two bridge Bitsch guaranteed.
Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474), daughter of Ludwig V. von Lichtenberg (* 1417; † 1474), and one of two heirs with claims to the rule, married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen in 1458 (* 1417; † 1480). He had received a small secondary school from the holdings of the County of Hanau in order to be able to marry her. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage .

Modern times
Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (1514–1590) led the Reformation in his county after he took office in 1538 , which was now Lutheran . However, since the Bishop of Strasbourg was half the co-owner of Dürningen, a Roman Catholic parish remained here even after the Reformation .
With France's reunification policy under King Louis XIV , the Buchsweiler office came under French sovereignty. After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. In 1736, Hanau-Lichtenberg - and with it the Buchsweiler office - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , Landgrave Ludwig (IX) of Hesse-Darmstadt . With the upheaval started by the French Revolution , Dürningen became French.
