history
The formerly independent municipality gained national fame because one of the first referendums in Germany was held there in 1923. So on March 11, 1923, at the request of 162 eligible voters, a vote on the early election of the municipal council was carried out. This resulted in 160 votes for and 115 votes against early new elections. The case is of legal historical interest because it was the only known successful referendum in the Oldenburg region of Birkenfeld at the time.
