history
On March 3, 1272, Hatzenbühl was first mentioned in a document. Gothic structures on the church tower, which was built around 1290, show that the village was built earlier. Hatzenbühl was probably settled at the same time as Jockgrim around 1180–1200. Other sources even speak of the time around 1050.
Hatzenbühl was created as a so-called development settlement on the original mark of Herxheim . Only in a document from 1366 is there talk of an independent village. Hatzenbühl used to belong to the Lauterburg Oberamt of the Speyer Monastery , today it belongs to the Germersheim district .
Around 1618 Hatzenbühl had about 270 inhabitants and was therefore a larger village for the time. But the Thirty Years War brought the village down in 1636. A conflagration destroyed all buildings with the exception of the church, town hall and two barns. As a result, the place was uninhabited for almost 30 years. Three attempts to repopulate after the end of the war failed, not least due to renewed chaos of the war. The fourth attempt was better luck - in 1680 there were again 42 families resident in Hatzenbühl.
The time of peace should not last long. The War of the Spanish Succession 1701–1714 also left its mark on Hatzenbühl. The city of Landau was besieged four times during the war. So there were camps, sometimes by German, sometimes by French soldiers with the "usual" foraging . Winter quarters also had to be provided. As if that hadn't caused enough hardship among the residents, two robberies were added. Pastor Kelle writes in his parish book that the people harassed by so much need, fear and misery could hardly grasp the time of the subsequent peace.
The Oberamt Lauterburg and thus also Hatzenbühl belonged de facto to France from 1673 to 1815. By belonging to France, the turbulence of the French Revolution also showed its effects in the Palatinate and Hatzenbühl. After a short transition period (1815-1816) under Austrian administration, the places of the upper office Lauterburg with the rest of the Palatinate came as the Rhine District and later Palatinate (Bavaria) to the Kingdom of Bavaria .
A direct consequence of the recurring wars, but also bad harvests and a sandy soil in a relatively small area forced many villagers to emigrate in the 18th and 19th centuries. The emigration destinations included America (from 1709) and Russia (from 1762). At the end of the 19th century, many also moved to Ludwigshafen ( BASF ), Germersheim and the areas on the right bank of the Rhine.

Tobacco growing
The Hatzenbühler pastor Anselmann planted in 1573 in his garden for the first time in Germany tobacco on. He probably got the seed from Lorraine or Alsace. It is not known whether he regarded tobacco as an ornamental or medicinal plant. Tobacco cultivation gained economic importance from the 18th century. Four hundred years after the mentioned first cultivation in the parish garden, Hatzenbühl was both the oldest and the largest cultivation community in Germany in 1973 with 265 hectares of tobacco growing area. The numerous tobacco sheds in which the tobacco is dried after the harvest are a sign of tobacco cultivation that can be seen from afar . In Hatzenbühl, many sheds have survived, especially on the north side and in the center of the village.
