history

Schönenberg belonged to the Electoral Palatinate until 1779 and was assigned to the Kübelberg office, which was established in the 15th century and was subordinate to the Kaiserslautern Upper Office . In 1779 the office of Kübelberg, including Schönenberg, was exchanged for the Duchy of Pfalz-Zweibrücken and now belonged to the Oberamt Homburg .

After the Left Bank of the Rhine was taken by French revolutionary troops (1794), it was assigned to the canton of Waldmohr in the Saar department from 1798 to 1814 . Schönenberg was the main town ( chef-lieu ) of a Mairie , which also included Börsborn , Brücken , Kübelberg , Sand and Schmittweiler . In 1802 the place had 314 inhabitants.

Due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna , the Palatinate came to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816 . Schönenberg remained under Bavarian administration in the canton of Waldmohr , which was part of the Homburg Land Commissioner (renamed District Office Homburg in 1862 ) in the Rhine district . Before 1827 there was a change in the administrative district of the mayor's office, which had emerged from the Mairie, Börsborn left, but the municipality of Gries was added. Mayor was Johann Weiß. In 1835 Schönenberg already had 628 inhabitants, of which 231 were Catholics who were parish in Kübelberg and 397 Protestants who belonged to the Obermiesau parish .

In the Bavarian register of localities from 1928, the rural community of Schönenberg, now part of the Bavarian administrative district Palatinate and the district office of Kusel , is described as follows: Village with 1,130 inhabitants (441 Catholics, 684 Protestants, 5 others), 183 residential buildings and an area of ​​570 hectares ; Seat of a customs office, a tax and community collection department and a Protestant school.

In connection with the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate , the previously independent community of Schönenberg with 1,853 inhabitants was dissolved on June 7, 1969 and from this together with the also dissolved communities Kübelberg, Sand and Schmittweiler the current local community Schönenberg-Kübelberg was re-established.
