history

Until the end of the 18th century, Rieschweiler belonged to Pfalz-Zweibrücken . From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Rieschweiler was incorporated into the Canton of Zweibrücken and was subordinate to the Mairie Maßweiler . In 1815 the place had 432 inhabitants. In the same year, Austria was struck. Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 he was a member of the Zweibrücken Land Commissioner ; from this the district office of Zweibrücken emerged.

In 1928 Rieschweiler had 929 inhabitants who lived in 161 residential buildings. The Catholics belonged to the parish of Nünschweiler at the time , while the Protestants owned a local parish. From 1939 the place was part of the district of Zweibrücken . After the Second World War , Rieschweiler became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform , Rieschweiler was merged with the neighboring community of Höhmühlbach on June 7, 1969 to form the new local community Rieschweiler-Mühlbach . The district of Zweibrücken was dissolved three years later; As a result, the place changed in 1972 to the district of Pirmasens, which was renamed in 1997 to the district of Südwestpfalz .
