history
Until the end of the 18th century the place belonged to the Electoral Palatinate . From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Niefernheim was incorporated into the canton of Göllheim , formed a community with neighboring Zell and was subordinate to the Mairie Harxheim . From 1816 Niefernheim belonged to Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 Niefernheim was part of the Land Commissioner Kirchheim , which was then converted into a district office.
In 1928 the place had 199 inhabitants who lived in 38 residential buildings. Both the Catholics and the Protestants belonged to the parish of Zell at that time. In 1938 the place was incorporated into the Kirchheimbolanden district. After the Second World War , Niefernheim became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate, the place changed on June 7, 1969 to the newly created Donnersbergkreis . Until the end of 1975 Niefernheim was an independent municipality ; On January 1, 1976, the place was merged with the neighboring communities of Harxheim and Zell to form the newly created local community of Zellertal.
