history

middle Ages

Lampertsloch was an allod of the Lords of Lichtenberg . The Lords of Lichtenberg bought it from Johann Puller in 1332 or 1337. In the rule of Lichtenberg it was assigned to the Wörth office, which was created in the 13th century. Lampertsloch also formed its own bailiff. A "Büttelei" was the subdivision of an office . When Jakob von Lichtenberg, the last male member of the house, died in 1480 , the inheritance was shared between his two nieces, Anna and Elisabeth (* 1444; † 1495). Anna had married Count Philipp IV of Hanau (1514–1590), Elisabeth married Count Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Wörth office - and with it Lampertsloch - came to Zweibrücken-Bitsch when it was divided.

There are oil deposits on site that have been used at least since the end of the Middle Ages . The oldest surviving mention is from 1498.

Modern times

In 1570 there was another inheritance that brought the Wörth office to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg : Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510; † 1570) and his brother Simon V. Wecker , who died in 1540, each left only one daughter 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 rule, which was not already governed by Hanau-Lichtenberg. Philipp V von Hanau-Lichtenberg immediately carried out the Reformation in the inherited areas , which, like the rest of his dominion, now became Lutheran .

With France's reunification policy under King Louis XIV , the Wörth and Lampertsloch offices came under French sovereignty. After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , the inheritance - and with it Lampertsloch - fell in 1736 to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , the hereditary prince and later Landgrave Ludwig (IX.) of Hesse-Darmstadt . Johann Georg Krünitz (1728–1796) wrote about the oil deposits:

"Lampertsloch, a village in Amte Wörd, in the Hesse-Darmstadt lordship of Lichtenberg, is noticeable because of the stone oil that gushes out of the earth."

In 1742 Louis Pierre Ancillon de la Sablonnière began to exploit the oil reserves. In 1768 the Le Bel family joined them and founded the "Pechelbronn oil mines".

With the upheaval begun by the French Revolution , the Amt Wörth became part of France and dissolved in the subsequent administrative reforms. From 1871 until the end of the First World War , Lampertsloch 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 .

During the Second World War Lampertsloch was bombed on August 4, 1944, 90% of the "Pechelbronn oil mines" being destroyed. Oil production ceased in 1952 and the rest of the operation in 1963.
