history
middle Ages
Schüriet was a small village or farm that belonged to the Lichtenberg rule. In the meantime pledged, the village was redeemed in 1401. When, after the acquisition of territory in the 14th century, the offices of Ingweiler and Buchsweiler in the Lichtenberg domain had become too extensive and had to be reorganized, the Pfaffenhofen office, among other things, was spun off and made independent at the beginning of the 15th century . When this also had to be divided again by further area growth, the Offendorf office was established before 1440, to which Schüriet also belonged.
Elisabeth, one of the two heirlooms of Ludwig V von Lichtenberg (* 1417, † 1474), married Count Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Jakob von Lichtenberg , an uncle of Elisabeth, she inherited half of the Lichtenberg lordship, which also included the Offenheim office - and thus Schüriet.
Early modern age
Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510; † 1570) and his brother Simon V. Wecker , who died in 1540, left only one daughter each as heir. Count Jakob's daughter, Margarethe (* 1540; † 1569), was married to Philipp V von Hanau-Lichtenberg (* 1541; † 1599). The legacy resulting from this constellation also included the second half of the former Lichtenberg lordship , which was not already in the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg , and included the Offendorf with Schüriet. At an unknown point in time, Schüriet fell wildly.
