history

During the French period in 1801, Leisel became the seat of a Mairie , a mayor's office that continued until 1840. It included the places Siesbach , Leisel, Schwollen , Hattgenstein , Rinzenberg , Hambach , Böschweiler and Heupweiler .
The municipality of Leisel gained national fame because in 1929 one of two well-known citizens' petitions was made in the Birkenfeld part of the Oldenburg region . However, unlike a similar procedure in Kirn-Sulzbach, the referendum in Leisel was probably inadmissible.
