In 1232 the Heilsbruck monastery was established here , confirmed in the same year by the Speyer bishop Beringer von Entringen .

Another tank was thrown over the adjacent road to Hanhofen into an adjacent field. The bang could be heard within a radius of 25 km. Other explosions also affected nearby buildings.

Around 1700 there were around 250 inhabitants, in 1801 551 were counted. The original town center was Speyerer Straße, the development of which up until the 17th century in an easterly direction probably did not extend beyond the former location of the town hall at the junction with Rappengasse.
