Mechtersheim belonged to the Electoral Palatinate until the French Revolution . From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Mechtersheim was incorporated into the Canton of Speyer .

In 1928 Mechtersheim had 1,326 inhabitants who lived in 236 residential buildings. The Protestants owned a local parish at the time, while the Catholics belonged to that of Heiligenstein . From 1938 the place was part of the district of Speyer .

In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform, Mechtersheim was merged on June 7, 1969 with the neighboring communities of Heiligenstein and Berghausen to form the new local community of Römerberg (Pfalz) . At the same time, the place changed to the district of Ludwigshafen, which has been called Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis since 2004 .

The name we know today was then consolidated in later maps: Mechtersheim.
