history

In 1274 a church and farm in Queichhambach are mentioned in a document, which in 1283 is assigned to the Hornbach monastery . The place received rights to the first Haingeraide , which includes an area in the Frankenweide north of Rinnthal and Eusserthal ; In the course of their dissolution, an exclave, the so-called Queichhambacher Wald , came to the municipality. In 1559 the dukes of Pfalz-Zweibrücken took over the rulership of Queichhambach until the end of the 18th century. In 1739, today's new parish church was built on the site of the previous building. After the Left Bank of the Rhine was taken by French revolutionary troops (1794), Queichhambach was assigned to the canton of Annweiler in the Donnersberg department from 1798 to 1814 and was administered by the Mairie in Annweiler . On the basis of the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna (1815), the Palatinate and thus also the municipality of Queichhambach were initially assigned to Austria . In a state treaty concluded in 1816 , the Austria Region ceded to the Kingdom of Bavaria . The now Bavarian canton Annweiler belonged in the newly created Rhine district for the time being to the district of Zweibrücken formed from the previous arrondissement and came to the district of Landau on August 1, 1816. After the subdivision of the districts into Landkommissariate (1818) Queichhambach belonged to the Landkommissariat , later the district office Bergzabern, from which the district Bergzabern emerged in 1938 .

In the official register of localities for the Free State of Bavaria from 1928, the rural community Queichhambach, now part of the Bavarian administrative district Palatinate and the Bergzabern district office , was described as follows: A total of 289 inhabitants (103 Catholics, 183 Protestants and three other Christians), 56 residential buildings and one Area of ​​418 hectares; there was a Protestant school and a handicraft school in the church village of Queichhambach itself. The individual settlements Albersweiler with four residential buildings and 33 residents and Neumühle with two residential buildings and ten residents belonged to the community.

In the course of the Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform, the place moved, like most of the district, to the newly created district of Landau-Bad Bergzabern (since 1978: district of Südliche Weinstrasse ). In 1972 it was also to be incorporated into the newly created community of Annweiler am Trifels , but the local council decided in favor of incorporation into Annweiler, which was carried out on April 22, 1972.
