history

The first documentary mention took place in 1274 as Dynnebach and was counted as a property of Lindelbrunn Castle . This castle was owned by the Counts of Leiningen . The latter had repeatedly increased need for money and leased Lindelbrunn Castle and the associated properties. So it often happened that the residents of Dimbach had two masters. The Counts of Leiningen and the respective tenant of the castle. At times, the residents therefore had to pay taxes, the tithe , to both gentlemen . The place last belonged to the Prince of Leiningen-Dürkheim until the end of the 18th century.

From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Dimbach was incorporated into the canton of Annweiler and was subordinate to the Mairie Oberschlettenbach . In 1815 the place had a total of 170 inhabitants. In 1815 the place Austria was added. Just one year later, Dimbach moved to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 the place was part of the Landkommissariat Bergzabern , which was then converted into a district office.

In 1928 Dimbach had 156 inhabitants who lived in 42 residential buildings. In 1939 the place was incorporated into the Bergzabern district. After the Second World War , Dimbach became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform , the place moved in 1969 to the district of Pirmasens (from 1997 district of Südwestpfalz ) . Three years later it was incorporated into the newly created community of Hauenstein .
