history

The first mention of the place is currently unclear. Early documentary mentions of a place liutmarsheim or liutresheim in donations to the Lorsch monastery could refer to both Lautersheim and Laumersheim , which is only 10 km away . In the middle of the 13th century, the place belonged to the Höningen monastery . At the end of the 15th century, the Rosenthal Abbey also owned property in Lautersheim.

The place gave its name to a noble family, of which several knights are documented as bearers of the name from the year 1238. When the noble family died out, the place fell into the possession of the County of Leiningen-Westerburg , to which it belonged until the end of the 18th century. The place was occupied by the French in 1793.

From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Lautersheim was incorporated into the canton of Göllheim and was subordinate to the Mairie Kertzenheim . In 1815 the place had a total of 299 inhabitants. In the same year it was added to Austria . Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 Lautersheim belonged to the Land Commissioner Kirchheim - later Kirchhheimbolanden ; from this the district office of Kirchhheimbolanden emerged.

From 1939 the place was part of the Kirchheimbolanden district . After the Second World War , Ramsen became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate , Lautersheim moved to the newly formed Donnersbergkreis in 1969 ; three years later, the community was incorporated into the Göllheim Association, which was also newly formed .
