In 1794 the left bank of the Rhine was occupied in the First Coalition War. From 1798 to 1814 Hauptstuhl belonged to the canton Landstuhl in the Donnersberg department .

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 .

coat of arms

Coat of arms from Hauptstuhl
 Blazon : "In the shield, which is divided by black and silver, there are five silver balls at the top, a red diagonal right-hand wave bar at the bottom, accompanied on both sides by a green oak leaf with a golden acorn."
Justification of the coat of arms: The silver balls are from the coat of arms of the Counts of Sickingen , who ruled the village in the late Middle Ages and the early modern period. The red bar is intended to remind of the submerged town of Ruppach ( Rotbach ), which once existed in the district of Hauptstuhl. The oak leaves stand for the forest grazing rights that the village had in the Reichswald and for the abundance of forests.
