history

Originally the village was only called Hausen. After two brothers killed each other in an argument, the name was changed to Mörderhausen or Mord- or Morderhusen. Ulrich von Magenheim recorded the sale of vineyards by an Irmingard von Mörderhausen and their heirs in 1289. This is the first documentary mention of Mörderhausen.

Mörderhausen was on the so-called Burgstrasse, which led from the Zabertalstrasse over the Vogtsberg to Mörderhausen and from there to Sternenfels . Another street name that has been passed down is the Totenweg to Leonbronn . In this way, the residents of Mörderhausen, who were parish in Leonbronn, brought their dead to the burial.

Mörderhausen was destroyed in 1360 by Duke Ruprecht von der Pfalz . Since then it has been a desert .
