middle Ages

The oldest surviving mention of Querbach comes from 1372. The village of Querbach was in the Lichtenau district of the Lichtenberg rule . In 1335, the middle and younger lines of the House of Lichtenberg divided the country. The office of Lichtenau - and thus Querbach - fell to Ludwig III. von Lichtenberg , who founded the younger line of the house.

Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474) was the daughter of Ludwig V von Lichtenberg (* 1417; † 1474), one of two heirs with claims to the rule of Lichtenberg . In 1458 she married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417, † 1480), who 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 office Lichtenau belonged to the part of Lichtenberg that the descendants of Philipp and Anna inherited.
