history
middle Ages
The village of Mietesheim was an imperial fiefdom and was sold in 1332 by the landgraves in Alsace to the lords of Lichtenberg . It was part of their office in Ingweiler . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Count Jakob, the rule was divided and the office of Ingweiler initially fell to Zweibrücken-Bitsch .
Modern times
However, there was another inheritance in 1570, which now brought the Ingweiler office to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg . The Counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg introduced the Reformation in their county from the middle of the 16th century , which now became Lutheran .
As a result of France's reunification policy , around 1680 , the parts of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg in Alsace fell under French sovereignty , as did the Ingweiler and Mietesheim offices.
1736 died with Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family. Due to the marriage of his only daughter, Charlotte (* 1700; † 1726), with the Hereditary Prince Ludwig (VIII.) (* 1691; † 1768) of Hesse-Darmstadt , the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg fell there. As a result of the French Revolution , the left bank of the Hanau-Lichtenberg county - and with it Mietesheim - fell to France.
