history

middle Ages

The village of Hilst was in the Lemberg office of the County of Zweibrücken-Bitsch and there in the Kröppen official school .

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 Hilst - was awarded to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg . The treaty that ended the dispute also contained a passage that guaranteed the Catholics free exercise of their faith in Hilst.

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 fell there.

Modern times

In the course of the French Revolution , the part of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg on the left bank of the Rhine - and with it the Office of Lemberg and Hilst - fell to France. Hilst (French Hiltsch ) belonged to the French canton of Breidenbach from 1792 and to the canton of Volmunster in the Moselle department from 1802 to 1814 . After the Peace of Paris in May 1814, the place was assigned to the canton of Pirmasens in the Donnersberg department, which was now under joint Austrian-Bavarian administration .

Due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna , the region became part of Austria in June 1815 . On May 1, 1816, the region and with it Hilst came under a state treaty to the Kingdom of Bavaria . The municipality of Hilst belonged to the newly created Rhine district . from 1817 on to the Landkommissariat Pirmasens , from which the Landkreis Pirmasens emerged in 1938 .

After the Second World War , Hilst became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone .
