history
middle Ages
Uhrweiler was a fiefdom of the Duke of Lorraine to the rule of Lichtenberg Uhrweiler also formed its own bailiff. A "Büttelei" was the subdivision of an office . The offices of Ingweiler and Buchsweiler of the Lichtenberg rule were reorganized at the beginning of the 14th century. Among other things, the Pfaffenhofen office was spun off and made independent, to which Uhrweiler also belonged. The reason for the new organization may have been the two divisions that took place in the Lichtenberg House around 1330 and in 1335. In 1335 the land was divided between the middle and younger lines of the House of Lichtenberg . Uhrweiler fell to the descendants of Johann III, who died early . von Lichtenberg , who established the middle line of the house.
Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474), one of the two heirlooms of Ludwig V von Lichtenberg (* 1417; † 1474) married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417; † 1480), one of them had received a small secondary school from the inventory of the County of Hanau in order to be able to get married. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Jakob von Lichtenberg , an uncle of Anna, Philipp I. d. Ä. 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule . The Pfaffenhofen office also belonged to this half. In the following period the village came into the hands of the Counts of Zweibrücken-Bitsch . These counted it to their rule Oberbronn .
Modern times
The rulership of Oberbonn - and with it Uhrweiler - came from Zweibrücken-Bitsch to this family in 1551 as a dowry on the occasion of the marriage of Amelie von Zweibrücken-Bitsch to Philip I of Leiningen-Westerburg . At this point in time at the latest, Uhrweiler left the area of influence of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg for good.
As a successor to the Leininger, the Landgraves of Hessen-Homburg and, to a lesser extent, the Swedish aristocratic family of the Barons von Sinclair became lords of Oberbronn in the 17th century. Due to France's reunification policy , the rule of Oberbronn and the village of Uhrweiler also fell under French suzerainty in the second half of the 17th century. The Hesse-Homburg part passed to the Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Bartenstein family in the middle of the 18th century , while the Sinclair part went to the von Lewenhaupt family, who were also of Swedish origin . Hohenlohe had to cede the rule to France in 1793 and was later resigned to areas of the secularized diocese of Würzburg . In the administrative reforms following the French Revolution , the rule of Oberbronn was dissolved. Uhrweiler was now French.
