history

middle Ages

Trulben was mentioned in 1307 as Druhalben , the hamlet of Imsbacherhof in 1404 as Ymesbach . Both were in the Lemberg office of the County of Zweibrücken-Bitsch and there in the Lemberg official school .

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 Trulben - was awarded to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg . The treaty that ended the dispute also contained a passage that guaranteed Catholics free exercise of their faith in Trulben.

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 to there. Hochstellerhof was built in 1745.

Modern times

In the course of the French Revolution , the left bank of the Hanau-Lichtenberg county - and with it the Lemberg and Trulben offices - fell to France in 1794. After the end of Napoleonic rule, Trulben came to the Bavarian Rhine District .

From 1818 to 1862 the place belonged to the Landkommissariat Pirmasens ; from this the district office of Pirmasens emerged. In 1939 Trulben district of Pirmasens (from 1997 district of Südwestpfalz ) was incorporated. After the Second World War , the municipality within the French occupation zone became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate. In the course of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate , the municipality was assigned to the newly created association municipality Pirmasens-Land in 1972 .
