history

middle Ages

The place name is interpreted as "Hamlet of Eckebrecht". The oldest surviving mention of Eckartsweier comes from 1316. It was an allod of the Lords of Lichtenberg . How it was acquired is unknown. Around 1330 there was a first division of land between Johann II. Von Lichtenberg , from the older line of the house, and Ludwig III. from Lichtenberg . Eckartsweier fell into the part of the property that was managed by the older line in the future. It was assigned to the Amt of Willstätt of the Lichtenberg rule , which was created in the 14th century. When Jakob von Lichtenberg, the last male member of the house, died in 1480 , the inheritance passed to his two nieces, Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474) and Elisabeth von Lichtenberg. Anna had married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417, † 1480) in 1458, who had received a small secondary education from the holdings of the County of Hanau in order to be able to get married. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . Elisabeth married Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Lichtenberg legacy was shared between them. The Willstätt office and thus Eckartsweier became a condominium between the two heirs.

Modern times

Under the government of Count Philip III. From Hanau-Lichtenberg there was a real division of the common condominiums: The Willstätt office came entirely to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg. In return, the Brumath office came entirely to Zweibrücken-Bitsch. Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (1514–1590), after taking office in 1538, consistently carried out the Reformation in his county, which now became Lutheran .

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. In 1736, the inheritance - and with it the office of Willstätt - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte von Hanau-Lichtenberg , Landgrave Ludwig (IX) of Hesse-Darmstadt . With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss the office of Willstätt and the village of Eckartsweier were assigned to the newly formed Electorate of Baden in 1803 .

On January 1, 1974, Eckartsweiler was incorporated into Willstätt.
