history
In 1125 Farschwiller belonged as Fardulwiler to the extensive property that had held the mighty royal abbey of St. Denis near Paris through its abbot Fulrad (750-784) from the Moselle and Saarlands from 777 on the central Saar and on the Blies around Saargemünd. The name Fardulwiler refers to the successor of Fulrad, Abbot Fardulf , who is to be regarded as the landlord and responsible for the settlement construction around 800 With Dionysius of Paris , French St. Denis, as saint of the church, the parish had the same patronage as the abbey. In 795, Fardulf, as a companion of Charlemagne on his campaign in Saxony, had relics of the saint with him. Fardulf was also a devotee of John the Baptist . That may explain why one of the branches of Farschweiler, which has since been closed, was called Johannisweiler.
