Trippstadter Tal at the end of the 18th century

Trippstadt was first mentioned in 1293 as Driebescheit . It belonged to the lordship of Wilenstein of the County of Falkenstein , became part of the Electoral Palatinate and in 1716, together with the villages of Mölschbach and Stelzenberg , was assigned to the Electoral Palatinate Oberstjägermeister and Oberstforstmeister Freiherr Ludwig Anton von Hacke (1682-1752) as a fief. The von Hacke family made Trippstadt their residence and had their castle built there with the Catholic castle church St. Joseph, which also became their burial place. The family rule lasted until the end of the 18th century.

In the course of the First Coalition War , a battle took place on site in 1795. From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Trippstadt was incorporated into the canton of Kaiserslautern and had its own Mairie , which also included Krickenbach , Mölschbach and Stelzenberg. In 1815 the municipality of Austria was added. Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 he was a member of the Land Commissioner in Kaiserslautern ; from this the district office of Kaiserslautern emerged.

The community has been part of the Kaiserslautern district since 1939 .

As part of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate , the place was incorporated into the newly created community of Kaiserslautern-Süd in 1972 , which merged with the Landstuhl community on July 1, 2019 to form the new Landstuhl community .
