history
middle Ages
The village of Reipertsweiler was originally an imperial estate , later owned by the Landgraves of Alsace, from whom the Lords of Lichtenberg bought it in 1332. They assigned it to their office in Ingweiler . In 1335 the land was divided between the middle and younger lines of the House of Lichtenberg . Reipertsweiler fell to the descendants of Johann III, who died early . von Lichtenberg , who established the middle line of the house. After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Count Jakob, the rule was divided and the office of Ingweiler initially fell to Zweibrücken-Bitsch .
Modern times
In 1570 there was another case of inheritance, which brought the Ingweiler office to the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg . The Counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg introduced the Reformation in their county from the middle of the 16th century , which now became Lutheran .
As a result of France's reunification policy , around 1680 , the parts of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg in Alsace fell under the sovereignty of France , including the Ingweiler and Reipertsweiler offices.
1736 died with Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family. Due to the marriage of his only daughter, Charlotte (1700–1726), with the Hereditary Prince Ludwig (VIII.) (1691–1768) of Hesse-Darmstadt , the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg fell to there. As a result of the French Revolution , the left bank of the Hanau-Lichtenberg county - and with it Reipertsweiler - fell to France.
From 1871 until the end of the First World War , Reipertswiller belonged to the German Empire as part of the realm of Alsace-Lorraine and was assigned to the Zabern district in the Lower Alsace district .
