history
middle Ages
The village of Niedersulzbach was a fiefdom of the Bishop of Metz to the Lords of Lichtenberg as early as the beginning of the 13th century. They assigned it to their office in Buchsweiler , which arose at the beginning of the 14th century as an office of the Lichtenberg rule .
Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474), daughter of Ludwig V. von Lichtenberg (* 1417; † 1474), and one of two heirs with claims to the rule, married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen in 1458 (* 1417; † 1480). He had received a small secondary school from the holdings of the County of Hanau in order to be able to marry her. 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 other half went to his brother-in-law, Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Buchsweiler office - and thus also Niedersulzbach - belonged to the part of Hanau-Lichtenberg that Anna's descendants inherited.
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 .
With France's reunification policy under King Louis XIV , the Buchsweiler office came under French sovereignty. After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. In 1736, Hanau-Lichtenberg - and with it the Buchsweiler office - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , Landgrave Ludwig (IX) of Hesse-Darmstadt . With the upheaval started by the French Revolution , Niedersulzbach became French.
