history
middle Ages
In the 13th century, the village of Niedermodern was temporarily a condominium between the Lords of Ochsenstein and the Lords of Lichtenberg . The village then belonged to the Lichtenberg rule since the 13th century, but maybe not until 1453 . At the same time, Niedermodern formed its own bailiff. A "Büttelei" was the subdivision of an office . In 1335 the land was divided between the middle and younger lines of the House of Lichtenberg . Niedermodern fell to Ludwig III. von Lichtenberg , who founded the younger line of the house. This was the reason for a new internal organization of the Lichtenberg rule: Among other things, the Pfaffenhofen office was spun off and made independent from the Ingweiler and Buchsweiler offices , to which Niedermodern also belonged.
Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474), one of the two heirlooms of Ludwig V von Lichtenberg (* 1417; † 1474) married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417; † 1480), one of them had received a small secondary school from the inventory of the County of Hanau in order to be able to get married. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Jakob von Lichtenberg , an uncle of Anna, Philipp I. d. Ä. 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule . The Pfaffenhofen office with Niedermodern also belonged to this half.
Modern times
Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (1514–1590), after taking office in 1538, consistently carried out the Reformation in his county, which now became Lutheran .
As a result of France's reunion policy in 1680, considerable parts of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg in Alsace fell under the sovereignty of France . This also included the Pfaffenhofen 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. In the course of the French Revolution , the part of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg on the left bank of the Rhine - and with it the Office of Pfaffenhofen and Niedermodern - fell to France.
On January 1, 2015, Niedermodern moved from the Arrondissement Saverne to the Arrondissement Haguenau-Wissembourg .
