history

The place Kübelberg was first mentioned in a document in 956 as "Cheuilunbahc" and was the official seat of a court in the free realm around Lautern Castle. Kübelberg was subject to multiple changes of rule during the 14th and 15th centuries. So it belonged temporarily to the Counts of Sponheim and Veldenz. In 1437 the Kübelberg court came into the possession of the Electoral Palatinate and remained there until 1779.

The castle was built from 1273 to 1297 and was first mentioned in 1297 as "castrum". It secured the important military and trade route (strata regia) from Metz to Mainz, which led through Kübelberg and was known in our area as Scheidenberger Geleitstrasse. The castle "Kevelnberg" belonged as a western outpost to a ring of different castles that protect the realm around Kaiserslautern. The castle was owned by the lords of Kübelberg (knight Gerin von Kübelberg). Starting from this castle, Kübelberg developed into a place of justice; the court included twelve villages in the 18th century. Nothing has survived from the former castle complex, which consisted of a residential tower with wooden palisades, a small outer bailey and a moat with agricultural buildings on a raised castle hill.

In 1297 the castle was actually described as such ("in castro") for the first and only time - King Adolf von Nassau confirmed a castle loan document that referred to the castles of Kaiserslautern and Kübelberg.

The last mention of Kübelberg Castle was on December 31, 1821 in the Bavarian Intelligence Gazette:

“ Tuesday, January 29th, next at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the signed office, in accordance with the authorization received from the high government, will publicly auction the old detention house (tower) in Kübelberg for demolition to the highest bidder in loco Kübelberg. Schönenberg December 31st, 1821, the mayor's office, J. Weis. "

This old detention center was the last remnant of the former castle in Kübelberg. Before it was demolished, this tower was around 12 meters high.

As early as 1406, the village was the main town of the Electoral Palatinate "Office Kübelberg and Brücken", which consisted of these two parishes and formed two sub-offices, the Kübelberg office also included the villages of Elschbach , Ober- and Niedermiesau , Sand , Schmittweiler and Schönenberg as well as some courtyards and mills. Under Friedrich I the area came into the hands of the Electorate of the Palatinate. The office or court of Kübelberg was subordinate to the Oberamt Lautern ( Kaiserslautern ).

The village was devastated in the Thirty Years War , and in 1684 no residents are listed in Kübelberg.

In 1779 the office of Kübelberg with its twelve villages and six mills came in exchange from the Electoral Palatinate to Pfalz-Zweibrücken and now belonged to the Oberamt Homburg .

The parish church of St. Valentin in Kübelberg with its branch in Miesau belonged 1496 to Country Chapter Landstuhl and was in the Thirty Years' War of the reformed taken pastor Miesau possession, but left in 1626 again and 1698 by the Elector Johann Wilhelm its patronage Lord , the Commander of the Teutonic Order to Saarbruecken again handed over so that he could occupy it with a Catholic pastor. The place Kübelberg itself was uninhabited at the time.

After the Left Bank of the Rhine was taken by French revolutionary troops (1794), the municipality of Kübelberg was assigned to the canton of Waldmohr in the Saar department from 1798 to 1814 . It was under the administration of Mairie Schönenberg. In 1802 the place had 236 inhabitants together with the Klinkenmühle.

Due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna , the Palatinate came to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816 . The municipality of Kübelberg in the canton of Waldmohr , which was part of the Landkommissariat Homburg (renamed District Office Homburg in 1862 ) in the Rhine district, remained under Bavarian administration . In 1837 Kübelberg already had 544 inhabitants, of which 464 were Catholics and 80 Protestants who belonged to the parish of Waldmohr .

In the Bavarian local register from 1928, the rural community Kübelberg, now part of the Bavarian administrative district Palatinate and the district office of Kusel , is described as follows: A total of 969 inhabitants (876 Catholics, 89 Protestants, 3 others), 144 residential buildings and an area of 582 hectares; there was a Catholic school in the village; this included the blade mill with seven and the brickworks with 14 residents and two houses.

In connection with the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate , the previously independent municipality of Kübelberg with 1,585 inhabitants was dissolved on June 7, 1969 and from this, together with the also dissolved communities of Sand, Schönenberg and Schmittweiler, today's local community Schönenberg-Kübelberg was reorganized.
