history
middle Ages
The village was either an allod of the Lords of Lichtenberg or half an allod , the other fiefdom of the Bishop of Speyer . In 1335 the land was divided between the middle and younger lines of the House of Lichtenberg . Oberhofen fell to Ludwig III. von Lichtenberg , who founded the younger line of the house. This division of the country was also the reason for a new internal organization of the Lichtenberg rule: the Ingweiler and Buchsweiler offices of the Lichtenberg rule were reorganized, including the Pfaffenhofen office being spun off and made independent. In the meantime pledged, the village was redeemed in 1401. When the Pfaffenhofen office had to be divided by further area growth, the Offendorf office was created before 1440, to which Oberhofen then also belonged.
Elisabeth, one of the two heirlooms of Ludwig V von Lichtenberg (* 1417, † 1474), married Count Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Jakob von Lichtenberg , an uncle of Elisabeth, she inherited half of the Lichtenberg lordship, which also included the Offenheim office - and thus Oberhofen.
Early modern age
Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510; † 1570) and his brother Simon V. Wecker , who died in 1540, left only one daughter each as heir. Count Jakob's daughter, Margarethe (* 1540; † 1569), was married to Philipp V von Hanau-Lichtenberg (* 1541; † 1599). The legacy resulting from this constellation also included the second half of the former Lichtenberg lordship , which was not already in the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg , and included the Offendorf with Oberhofen office. Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (1514–1590), who was ruling at this time, consistently carried out the Reformation in his county and also in the areas gained through inheritance, which now became Lutheran .
With France's reunification policy under King Louis XIV , the Offendorf office came under French sovereignty. After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. In 1736, Hanau-Lichtenberg - and with it the Offendorf office - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , Landgrave Ludwig (IX.) Of Hesse-Darmstadt . With the upheaval started by the French Revolution , Oberhofen became French.
