history
middle Ages
The village already existed in 827. At that time it belonged to the Marmoutier monastery . Singrist later belonged to the Ochsenstein lordship . It was a fiefdom of the Bishop of Metz . When the family of the von Ochsenstein extinct in the male line with Georg von Ochsenstein 1485, the inheritance came through his sister to the counts of Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The church of St-Rémi in the village dates back to the 10th century.
Modern times
In 1570 there was another inheritance that brought Singrist to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg : Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510; † 1570) and his brother Simon V. Wecker , who died in 1540, each left only one daughter as heiress. Count Jakob's daughter, Margarethe (* 1540; † 1569), was married to Philipp V von Hanau-Lichtenberg (* 1541; † 1599). The inheritance resulting from this constellation also included the rule of Ochsenstein. In the administrative structure of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg Singrist was added to the Westhofen office . Philipp V von Hanau-Lichtenberg immediately carried out the Reformation in the inherited areas , which, like the rest of his dominion, now became Lutheran . In the Thirty Years' War troops were stationed in the town.
With the reunion policy of France under King Louis XIV , the Westhofen office and Singrist came under French sovereignty. After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , the inheritance fell in 1736 to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , the Hereditary Prince and later Landgrave Ludwig (IX) of Hesse-Darmstadt . Singrist no longer belonged to the Westhofen office in Hessen-Darmstadt times.
The Singrist community was merged with Allenwiller , Birkenwald and Salenthal on January 1, 2016 to form the Commune nouvelle Sommerau .
