history
coat of arms
Description of the coat of arms : A red bar in gold .
middle Ages
Dambach was a fiefdom of the Bishop of Strasbourg , a quarter of which was given to the Lords of Lichtenberg in 1301 as part of the property belonging to Castle Schöneck . In 1398 it was pledged to Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Lichtenberg quarter was assigned to the Wörth office, which was established in the 13th century. When Jakob von Lichtenberg, the last male member of the house, died in 1480 , the inheritance was shared between his two nieces, Anna and Elisabeth. Anna had married Count Philipp IV of Hanau (1514–1590), Elisabeth von Lichtenberg (* 1444; † 1495) Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch. The Wörth office - and thus also the Dambacher Viertel - came to Zweibrücken-Bitsch when it was divided.
Modern times
In 1570 there was another inheritance that brought the Wörth office to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg : Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510; † 1570) and his brother Simon V. Wecker , who died in 1540, each left only one daughter as heir. Count Jakob's daughter, Margarethe (* 1540; † 1569), was married to Philipp V von Hanau-Lichtenberg (* 1541; † 1599). The legacy resulting from this constellation also included the second half of the former Lichtenberg rule, which was not already governed by Hanau-Lichtenberg.
With France's reunification policy under King Louis XIV , the Wörth office, and with it Dambach, came under French suzerainty. After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , the inheritance - and with it Dambach - fell in 1736 to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , the hereditary prince and later Landgrave Ludwig (IX.) of Hesse-Darmstadt . With the upheaval begun by the French Revolution , the Amt Wörth became part of France and dissolved in the subsequent administrative reforms.
