history

The district of Hennweiler has been settled since the earliest times. Based on archaeological research, people can be resident there up to the period from 600 to 400 BC. Be proven.

With the Roman occupation of the area on the left bank of the Rhine in the last century BC, the cultural assets of the Celtic-Germanic mixed people of the Treveri were overlaid and enriched by Roman cultural assets. Various archaeological finds from the Celtic and Roman times attest to the settlement in Hennweiler by members of these cultures.

The place name probably goes back to the name of a Frankish settler who called himself “Hagano” or “Hano” and who founded a settlement here during the Frankish conquest (6th / 7th centuries) or gave an existing settlement his name by renaming it.

The first written mention of the village comes from the year 992, when King Otto III. under the leadership of the Archbishop of Mainz Willigis donated the royal estate "Hanenwilare" to the St. Stephan monastery in Mainz , which had recently been built .

It is very likely that under the influence of this monastery, the parish church was built as the mother church in the Hennweiler parish. In the Middle Ages, this district was identical to the Vogtei Hennweiler, which - as a judicial and administrative district - comprised the towns of Hennweiler, Oberhausen , Guntzelnberg, Rode, Heinzenberg and the Eigener Hof. The settlements of Guntzelnberg and Rode - on the border to the Hahnenbacher and Bruschieder Bann - were probably abandoned and desolate before the Thirty Years' War .

The Vogtei Hennweiler was a fiefdom of the Counts of Veldenz in the 13th and 14th. Century awarded to the Lords of Heinzenberg . This administrative district formed from the 16th century under the name "Amt Hennweiler" together with the district "Amt Hahnenbach" the imperial rule Wartenstein with administrative seat at Castle Wartenstein . In the 16th century the lords of Schwarzenberg were, in the 17th / 18th. In the 19th century, the baronial von Warsberg family took over the local lords of Hennweiler.

Around the middle of the 18th century, the population grew rapidly and the village expanded. In the summer of 1781, more than two thirds of the town burned down. In 1790/92 the nave of the parish church was rebuilt.

After the French seizure of the area on the left bank of the Rhine (1792/94), the French administrative reform took place (1798/1800/1802). Under Napoleonic rule, the residents became French (1802–1813 / 14). Hennweiler was part of the Mairie Kirn in the Simmern arrondissement , which belonged to the Rhine-Mosel department .

The own yard was the end of the 18th, beginning of the 19th century a popular hideout for Schinderhannes and his followers. Here he was almost arrested on April 12, 1800.

After the end of French rule and a brief transitional administration, the town was in the Prussian 1817 District Kreuznach in Koblenz incorporated and the Mairie in Kirn mayor renamed Kirn. Since 1858, the rural communities belonging to it formed their own rural mayor's office, which was co-administered by the mayor of the city of Kirn in personal union. In 1896 this personal union was abolished.

On October 1, 1968, the previous name of the regional authority "Office" was renamed Verbandsgemeinde. Since the territorial reform in 1969, Hennweiler became part of the community of Kirn-Land , to which 20 local communities belonged.
