The place is in the northwestern municipality in the middle of Wasgau , as the southern part of the Palatinate Forest and the adjoining northern part of the Vosges are also called.

The Kaiserbach rises on the eastern edge of the settlement area . The 459 meter high Rötzenberg extends west-southwest of the village . The 418 meter high Dimberg is located on the border with Dimbach and Schwanheim ; the Dimbergfelsen located there is classified as a natural monument, just like the Isselmannsteine .

history

Until the end of the 18th century, the place belonged to the Unteramt Landeck , which was jointly owned by the Electoral Palatinate and the Hochstift Speyer . From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Gossersweiler was incorporated into the canton of Annweiler and was subordinate to the Mairie Schwanheim . In 1815 the place had a total of 456 inhabitants. From 1818 to 1862 the place was part of the Landkommissariat Bergzabern , which was then converted into a district office. In the course of the Palatinate uprising , Gossersweiler was also attacked by its neighboring towns in June 1849, which ultimately contributed to the indictment .

In 1928 Goßersweiler had - as it was spelled at the time - 545 inhabitants who lived in 122 residential buildings. At that time the Catholics had their own parish on site, while the Protestants at that time belonged to that of Annweiler . In 1939 the place was incorporated into the Bergzabern district. After the Second World War , Gossersweiler became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate, he moved together with most of its communities to the newly created Landau-Bad-Bergzabern district , which was renamed the Südliche Weinstrasse district in 1978 . A year later, on March 1, 1970, Gossersweiler was merged with the neighboring town of Stein to form the new municipality of Gossersweiler-Stein.

Infrastructure

With the Catholic parish church of St. Cyriakus , the Catholic St. George's Chapel and a crossroads, a total of three objects are listed on site . There is also an industrial park east of the settlement area. The bus line 531 of the transport association Rhein-Neckar connects the place with Landau in der Pfalz and Annweiler am Trifels.
