history
middle Ages
The Lordship of Lichtenberg bought the village of Niefern in 1332 from the Counts of Ötingen . Due to the acquisition of territory in the 14th century, the Ingweiler and Buchsweiler authorities, which had become too extensive, had to be reorganized at the beginning of the 15th century . Among other things, the Pfaffenhofen office was spun off and made independent, to which Niefern 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 Niefern also belonged to this half. In the following period the village came into the hands of the Counts of Zweibrücken-Bitsch . These counted it to their rule Oberbronn .
Modern times
The rule of Oberbonn - and with it Niefern - came from Zweibrücken-Bitsch to this family in 1551 as a dowry on the occasion of the marriage of Amelie von Zweibrücken-Bitsch to Philip I of Leiningen-Westerburg . At this point in time at the latest, Niefern finally left the sphere of influence of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg.
As a successor to the Leininger, the Landgraves of Hessen-Homburg and, to a lesser extent, the Swedish aristocratic family of the Barons von Sinclair became lords of Oberbronn in the 17th century. Due to France's reunification policy , the rule of Oberbronn and the village of Niefern also fell under French suzerainty in the second half of the 17th century. The Hesse-Homburg part passed to the Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Bartenstein family in the middle of the 18th century , the Sinclair part to the von Lewenhaupt family, who were also of Swedish descent . Hohenlohe had to cede the rule to France in 1793 and was later resigned to areas of the secularized diocese of Würzburg . In the administrative reforms following the French Revolution , the rule of Oberbronn was dissolved. Niefern was French now.
