history
middle Ages
The village of Thalfröschen belonged to the county of Zweibrücken-Bitsch and its office in Lemberg and there to the official school of frogs .
Early modern age
Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510; † 1570) died in 1570 as the last male member of his family. The Lemberg office was inherited by his daughter, Ludovica Margaretha von Zweibrücken-Bitsch , who was married to the (heir) Count Philipp (V) von Hanau-Lichtenberg . Her father-in-law, Count Philipp IV. Von Hanau-Lichtenberg , gave the strict Roman Catholic Duke Karl III by immediately introducing the Lutheran creed . of Lorraine, the opportunity to intervene militarily, as the latter had suzerainty over the Bitsch rule, which was also part of the inheritance . In July 1572 Lorraine troops occupied the county. Since Philip IV was unable to cope with the overwhelming power of Lorraine, he chose the legal route. In the subsequent process before the Imperial Court of Justice, Lorraine was able to prevail with regard to the Bitsch rule, while the Lemberg office - and thus also Thalfröschen - was awarded to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg .
The settlement was initially called "Frogs". After a district emerged on the mountain around 1685, a distinction was made between lower, old or valley frogs from upper, new, mountain or high frogs. 1736 died with Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family. Due to the marriage of his only daughter, Charlotte (* 1700; † 1726), with the Hereditary Prince Ludwig (VIII.) (* 1691; † 1768) of Hesse-Darmstadt , the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg fell there.
Modern times
In the course of the French Revolution , the part of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg on the left bank of the Rhine - and with it the Office of Lemberg and Thalfröschen - fell to France in 1794. After the end of Napoleonic rule Thalfröschen came to the Bavarian Rhine district .
Thalfröschen, Höhfröschen and Biebermühle formed the community of Fröschen until 1959 . In 1925 the district Thalfröschen had 476 inhabitants and 66 residential buildings. There was an evangelical school in the village .
In the course of the Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform , Thalfröschen was merged with Thaleischweiler to form the new municipality of Thaleischweiler-Fröschen on June 7, 1969.
