history
middle Ages
The village of Kutzenhausen belonged to the Lichtenberg rule . When the Ingweiler and Buchsweiler offices , which had become too extensive, had to be reorganized there due to the acquisition of territory in the 14th century at the beginning of the 15th century, the Pfaffenhofen office , among other things, was spun off and made independent. When this too had to be divided again by further area growth, the Offendorf office was created before 1440, to which Kutzenhausen also belonged.
Elisabeth, one of the two heirlooms of Ludwig V von Lichtenberg (* 1417, † 1474), married Count Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Jakob von Lichtenberg , one of Elisabeth's uncle, she inherited half of the Lichtenberg lordship, which also included the Offenheim office - and thus Kutzenhausen.
The village of Niederkutzenhausen in the Wörth district of the Lichtenberg rulership rose to an unknown point in the late Middle Ages or early modern times in Kutzenhausen.
Early modern age
Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510; † 1570) and his brother Simon V. Wecker , who died in 1540, left only one daughter each as heir. Count Jakob's daughter, Margarethe (* 1540; † 1569), was married to Philipp V von Hanau-Lichtenberg (* 1541; † 1599). The legacy resulting from this constellation also included the second half of the former Lichtenberg lordship , which was not already in the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg , and included the Offendorf with Kutzenhausen office.
Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (1514–1590), who was ruling at this time, consistently carried out the Reformation in his county and also in the areas gained through inheritance, which now became Lutheran . Kutzenhausen was given as a fief to the Lords of Fleckenstein and only returned to the Counts of Hanau in 1705.
With France's reunification policy under King Louis XIV , the Offendorf office came under French sovereignty. In 1693, the French government enforced that the town's church was used as a Simultaneum in future .
After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. In 1736, Hanau-Lichtenberg - and with it the Offendorf office - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , Landgrave Ludwig (IX.) Of Hesse-Darmstadt . At the end of the 18th century, Kutzenhausen is no longer shown as part of the Offendorf office.
From 1871 until the end of the First World War , Kutzenhausen belonged to the German Empire as part of the realm of Alsace-Lorraine and was assigned to the Weißenburg district in the Lower Alsace district .
