history

middle Ages

The oldest surviving mention of Höheinöd dates from 1295. The village was a condominium shared between the counties of Zweibrücken-Bitsch and Leiningen-Dagsburg . In Zweibrücken-Bitsch it belonged to the Lemberg Office and there to the Frogs Office .

Early modern age

Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (1510–1570) died in 1570 as the last male member of his family. The Lemberg office was inherited by his daughter, Ludovica Margaretha von Zweibrücken-Bitsch , who was married to the (heir) Count Philipp (V) von Hanau-Lichtenberg . Her father-in-law, Count Philipp IV. Von Hanau-Lichtenberg , gave the strict Roman Catholic Duke Karl III by immediately introducing the Lutheran creed . of Lorraine, the opportunity to intervene militarily, as the latter had suzerainty over the Bitsch rule, which was also part of the inheritance . In July 1572 Lorraine troops occupied the county. Since Philip IV was unable to cope with the overwhelming power of Lorraine, he chose the legal route. In the subsequent process before the Reich Chamber of Commerce, Lorraine was able to prevail with regard to the Bitsch rule, while the Lemberg office - and thus also the Hanau-Lichtenberg part of Höheinöd - was awarded to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg .

1736 died with Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family. Due to the marriage of his only daughter, Charlotte (1700–1726), with the Hereditary Prince Ludwig (VIII.) (1691–1768) of Hesse-Darmstadt , the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg - and with it Hanau's share in Höheinöd - fell there. The Leining share up until 1791 then belonged to Sickingen's .

Development from 1800

In the course of the French Revolution , the left bank of the Rhine was occupied in the First Coalition War in 1794 . Höheinöd became French.

From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Hocheinöd - as it was called at the time - was incorporated into the canton of Waldfischbach in the Donnersberg department and had its own Mairie .

Due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna , the area first came to Austria in June 1815 and was ceded to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816 on the basis of a state treaty . It belonged to the Rhine district, the later Palatinate . Under the Bavarian administration, Heltersberg belonged from 1817 to the Pirmasens Land Commissioner in the Rhine District , which in 1862 became the Pirmasens District Office .

In 1939 Höheinöd was incorporated into the district of Pirmasens (from 1997 district of Südwestpfalz ) . After the Second World War , the municipality within the French occupation zone became part of the Palatinate administrative district in the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate . In the course of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate , the community was assigned to the newly created community of Waldfischbach-Burgalben in 1972 .
