history

The first mention of Graefenhausen goes back to the year 1189.

The place Graefenhausen belonged to the Electoral Palatinate until the end of the 18th century . After the Left Bank of the Rhine was taken by French revolutionary troops (1794), Graefenhausen was assigned to the canton of Annweiler in the Donnersberg department from 1798 to 1814 and was administered by the Mairie in Annweiler . On the basis of the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna (1815), the Palatinate and thus also the municipality of Graefenhausen were initially assigned to Austria . In a state treaty concluded in 1816 , the Austria Region ceded to the Kingdom of Bavaria . The now Bavarian canton Annweiler belonged in the newly created Rhine district for the time being to the district of Zweibrücken formed from the previous arrondissement and came to the district of Landau on August 1, 1816. After the subdivision of the districts into Landkommissariate (1818), Graefenhausen belonged to the Landkommissariat , later the Bergzabern district office, from which the Bergzabern district emerged in 1939 .

In the official register of localities for the Free State of Bavaria from 1928, the rural community of Gräfenhausen, now part of the Bavarian administrative district Palatinate and the Bergzabern district office , was described as follows: A total of 586 inhabitants (226 Catholics, 355 Protestants and 5 other Christians), 116 residential buildings and one Area of ​​707 hectares; there was a Protestant and a Catholic school in the church village of Graefenhausen itself; this included the hamlet of Rothenhof with four residential buildings and twelve residents and the individual settlements Mettenbacherhof (two residential buildings, seven residents) and Waldeck-Gut (two residential buildings, ten residents).

In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform in 1969, Graefenhausen was divided into the newly created Landau-Bad Bergzabern district (since 1978: Southern Weinstrasse district ) with most of the communities in the Bergzabern district . In 1972 he was also a member of the association of the newly formed Verbandsgemeinde Annweiler am Trifels , before it was incorporated into the neighboring town of Annweiler on June 10, 1979. Since then it has been one of four local districts there.

The Cistercians have been viticulture in the town since the 14th century : the famous Pinot Noir is ascribed to them. Graefenhausen is still famous today for its strong Pinot Noir. However, the place does not have its own location name.
