history
Until 1779 Elschbach was part of the Electoral Palatinate , then it belonged to Pfalz-Zweibrücken . From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Elschbach was incorporated into the canton of Waldmohr . Then the place changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 he was a member of the Homburg Land Commissioner ; from this the district office Kusel emerged. In 1928 Elschbach had 384 residents who lived in 62 residential buildings. The Catholics belonged to the parish of Kübelberg at that time , the Protestants to that of Obermiesau. and from 1938 the place was part of the district of Kusel . After the Second World War , Elschbach 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, Elschbach was incorporated into Miesau on June 7, 1969 , before it was incorporated into the new local community of Bruchmühlbach-Miesau three years later . At the same time, there was a change to the district of Kaiserslautern .
The former municipality of Elschbach originally had an area of 2.13 km².
Transport and infrastructure
traffic
In 1904, when the Glantalbahn opened, Elschbach was connected to the railway network. The corresponding station received a smaller reception building. It was away from the village on the road to Gries . The Am Bahnhof settlement, which belongs to Elschbach, was built in the immediate vicinity and originally had a loading platform that no longer existed after the Second World War. Due to its peripheral location, Elschbach received an additional, nearby stopping point in the early 1960s, Elschbach Ort , which was intended to revitalize the said railway line in the southern section of Homburg -Glan-Münchweiler. It was closed again in 1976, and the station suffered the same fate two years later. Since the freight traffic between Schönenberg-Kübelberg and Glan-Münchweiler had already been stopped, this section of the route was without regular traffic from 1981. The tracks were dismantled at the end of the 1980s. In 2002, the Glan-Blies-Weg , which was completed in full in 2006, was opened on the route . Since then, the closest train stations have been in Glan-Münchweiler and Bruchmühlbach-Miesau .
State road 358, which leads to Glan-Münchweiler, begins in the village itself .
Infrastructure
