When this office became too extensive due to various acquisitions, the Ingweiler office was spun off from it in 1330 . The village of Erkartsweiler also came to the Ingweiler office.
After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Count Jakob, the rule was divided between his two heirs and the office of Ingweiler fell to Zweibrücken-Bitsch . In 1551, the village was part of the dowry when Amelie von Zweibrücken-Bitsch married Philip I of Leiningen-Westerburg . Since then it no longer belonged to the Ingweiler office, but to the County of Leiningen.
With the reunification policy of France under King Louis XIV , Erkartsweiler came under French sovereignty around 1680, with the French Revolution it finally came to France. From 1871 until the end of the First World War , the municipality belonged to the German Empire as part of the realm of Alsace-Lorraine and was assigned to the district of Zabern in the district of Lower Alsace .
