history
According to H. Baldes, Frudesweiler's Roman origin has not been proven. The year of foundation is also not proven. An earlier name was also Freidesweiler. The origins of the place can be traced back to the 13th century. However, it was first mentioned in documents in 1507.
During its existence, Frudesweiler always belonged to the County of Veldenz and thus changed to Pfalz-Zweibrücken in 1444 . The lords of Oberstein were fiefdoms . During the time of its existence between three (1480) and ten taxable citizens (1570) lived in the place. The most famous citizen was probably Hans Scherer, who was known as "Schererhannes" and who was said to have special healing and magical powers. He was active around 1600.
In 1640 Frudesweiler is said to have stood still, in 1740 it is mentioned as derelict. The decline of the place is said to have fallen in the time of the Thirty Years War . The plague epidemic of that time was probably to blame . On the lands later the inhabitants practiced by Gimbweiler and Weiersbach the grazing rights from. The resulting disputes dragged on into the 19th century. They were ended by a settlement. Weiersbach received two fifths, mostly forests, Gimbweiler three fifths, mainly arable and meadow land.
