history

middle Ages

In the Middle Ages , the village belonged to the Lichtenberg lordship and is proven as an allod of the Lords of Lichtenberg at the beginning of the 13th century . It was in the Buchsweiler office , which was created at the beginning of the 14th century as an office of the Lichtenberg rule. In 1335 the land was divided between the middle and younger lines of the House of Lichtenberg . Griesbach fell to Ludwig III. von Lichtenberg , who founded the younger line of the house. According to a source, it is said to have been assigned to the Wörth office in the middle of the 15th century .

Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474), daughter of Ludwig V. von Lichtenberg (* 1417; † 1474), and one of two heirs with claims to the rule, married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen in 1458 (* 1417; † 1480). He had received a small secondary school from the holdings of the County of Hanau in order to be able to marry her. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Jakob von Lichtenberg , an uncle of Anna, Philipp I. d. Ä. 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule. The other half went to his brother-in-law, Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Buchsweiler office - and thus also Griesbach - belonged to the part of Hanau-Lichtenberg that Anna's descendants inherited.

Modern times

Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (1514–1590), after taking office in 1538, consistently carried out the Reformation in his county, which now became Lutheran .

With France's reunification policy under King Louis XIV , the Buchsweiler office came under French sovereignty. After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. In 1736, Hanau-Lichtenberg - and with it the Buchsweiler office - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , Landgrave Ludwig (IX) of Hesse-Darmstadt . Here it was assigned to the Niederbronn office. With the upheaval started by the French Revolution , Griesbach became French. In 1798 the village had 130 inhabitants.
