In the 18th century, the village belonged to the Niederbronn office and thus again to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg, which had been part of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt since 1736 .
Reichshoffen has had a town partnership with the Rhineland-Palatinate town of Kandel since 1961 .
On November 1, 1972, the neighboring town of Nehwiller-près-Wœrth was incorporated. Nehwiller was granted the status of Commune associée (district with its own local administration).
