From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Stockborn was incorporated into the canton of Kaiserslautern and was subordinate to the Mairie Weilerbach . In 1815 the place had 63 inhabitants. In the same year, Austria was struck. Just one year later, the place changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria .
