history

In the 13th century, the village of Gibichweiler initially belonged to the Buchsweiler district of Lichtenberg . It was a fiefdom of the Bishop of Metz . When the office became too extensive due to various acquisitions, the Ingweiler office was spun off from it in 1330 . The village of Gibichweiler also came under the Ingweiler office. Around 1330 there was a first division of land between Johann II. Von Lichtenberg , from the older line of the house, and Ludwig III. from Lichtenberg . Gibichweiler fell into the part of the property that was in future administered by the older line.

After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Count Jakob, the rule was divided and the office of Ingweiler initially fell to Zweibrücken-Bitsch. However, there was another inheritance in 1570, which now brought the Ingweiler office to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg . Gibichweier still existed in the 16th century, but it became increasingly boggy and was abandoned by the population. It is not known when exactly the place went under.

As a result of the reunification policy of France, the parts of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg in Alsace fell under the sovereignty of France around 1680 , including the Ingweiler office and the district of Gibichweiler.

In the 18th century, Gibichweiler is only proven as a desert .
