history
The village of Eckartsweiler belonged to the Oberbronn dominion , which has been documented from the 13th century and belonged to a number of noble families one after the other. These included the Lords of Ochsenstein (until 1485), who were inherited by the Counts of Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The rule of Oberbonn came from Zweibrücken-Bitsch through the marriage of Amelie von Zweibrücken-Bitsch to Philip I of Leiningen-Westerburg in 1551 as a dowry to this family. As a successor to the Leininger, the Landgraves of Hessen-Homburg and, to a lesser extent, the Swedish aristocratic family of the Barons von Sinclair became lords of Oberbronn in the 17th century. The Hesse-Homburg part passed to the Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Bartenstein family in the middle of the 18th century , the Sinclair part to the von Lewenhaupt family, who were also of Swedish descent . Hohenlohe had to cede the rule to France in 1793 and was later resigned to areas of the secularized diocese of Würzburg . In the administrative reforms following the French Revolution , the rule of Oberbronn was dissolved. Eckartsweiler was now French.
