history
Neukirchen was first mentioned in 1185, when it was called Nunkirchen . The name is derived from the fact that a new church had been built in place of a previously existing chapel. Until the end of the 18th century the place belonged to the Electoral Palatinate and was there subordinate to the Oberamt Lautern .
From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Neunkirchen - as it was then called - was incorporated into the canton of Kaiserslautern and was subordinate to the Mairie Alsenborn . In 1815 the place had 521 inhabitants. In the same year it was added to Austria . Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . In 1817 the community moved to the canton of Otterberg . From 1818 to 1862 he was a member of the Land Commissioner in Kaiserslautern ; from this the district office of Kaiserslautern emerged. From 1939 the place was part of the district of Kaiserslautern ; in April of the same year it was incorporated into neighboring Mehlingen.
