history

The place name on "-weiler" belongs to a place name type that was often chosen in the early Middle Ages . Around 1200, Gottfried von Rimeswilre administered a precarious facility at the Wadgassen monastery . Rimschweiler always belonged to the same country as Zweibrücken. Until the French Revolution it belonged to the Althornbach mayor and church to Hornbach . The 20th century hit the residents with the construction of the west wall from 1936/37, the evacuation in 1939/40 and again in 1944/45, finally the passage of the main battle line in 1945. When land was confiscated in 1951 for the construction of the airfield , there was also arable land the community forest lost. During the administrative reform , Rimschweiler was incorporated into Zweibrücken on April 22, 1972.

The Heidelbingerhof goes back to a settlement called Heidelbingen. Place names on " -ingen " belong to the early Middle Ages. In 1298 the knight Bertram von Zweibrücken donated his property in Heydelbingen to the nunnery in Zweibrücken.
