history
middle Ages
The oldest surviving mention of Mühlhausen, as Munilhuson , can be found in a letter from King Charles III. from the year 884.
The village of Mühlhausen belonged to the Lichtenberg rule in the late Middle Ages . It was partially given by the Lichtenbergers as a fief
- the castle as a whole to that of Uttweiler,
- 1/3 of the village to that of Uttweiler and
- 1/3 of the village to that of Waltenheim.
The rights remaining with the Lichtenbergers, especially 1/3 of the property in the village, were assigned to their office in Ingweiler .
After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Count Jakob, in 1480, 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 .
As a result of France's reunification policy , around 1680 , the parts of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg in Alsace fell under French sovereignty , including the Ingweiler and Mühlhausen office.
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 Mühlhausen - fell to France.
