history

middle Ages

Fehrbach's founding date is unknown. The oldest surviving mention comes from 1202: The place is named together with Lemberg , Gersbach , Ruppertsweiler , Münchweiler , Winzeln and Ruhbankerhof as a branch of the parish of Pirmasens. The former monastery estate was then written to Forlebach . The village was later in the Lemberg office of the County of Zweibrücken-Bitsch and there in the Pirmasens official school . The proximity to Pirmasens and the location on an old salt road (today's B 10 ) shaped Fehrbach.

Early modern age

Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510; † 1570) died in 1570 as the last male member of his family. The Lemberg office was inherited by his daughter, Ludovica Margaretha von Zweibrücken-Bitsch , who was married to the (heir) Count Philipp (V) von Hanau-Lichtenberg . Her father-in-law, Count Philipp IV. Von Hanau-Lichtenberg , gave the strict Roman Catholic Duke Karl III by immediately introducing the Lutheran creed . of Lorraine, the opportunity to intervene militarily, as the latter had suzerainty over the Bitsch rule, which was also part of the inheritance . In July 1572 Lorraine troops occupied the county. Since Philip IV was unable to cope with the overwhelming power of Lorraine, he chose the legal route. In the subsequent process before the Reich Chamber of Commerce, Lorraine was able to prevail with regard to the Bitsch rule, while the Lemberg office - and thus also Fehrbach - was awarded to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg .

After the depopulation during the Thirty Years War , French immigrants settled in the "new" Fehrbach in 1665 under the leadership of Antony Raquet . His descendants still live in the village today. In 1714, farmers from Tyrol also settled in Fehrbach.

1736 died with Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family. Due to the marriage of his only daughter, Charlotte (* 1700; † 1726), with the Hereditary Prince Ludwig (VIII.) (* 1691; † 1768) of Hesse-Darmstadt , the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg fell there. In the course of the French Revolution , the part of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg on the left bank of the Rhine - and with it the Office of Lemberg and Fehrbach - fell to France in 1794. After the end of Napoleonic rule, Fehrbach came to the Bavarian Rhine District .

On June 7, 1969, Fehrbach was incorporated into Pirmasens.
