history
The municipality of Maikammer came into force on March 1, 1972 as part of the Rhineland-Palatinate functional and territorial reform that began in the 1960s on the basis of the "Thirteenth State Law on Administrative Simplification in the State of Rhineland-Palatinate" from March 1, 1972, came into force on April 22, 1972, newly formed.
The state government passed the “First Law on Local and Administrative Reform ” on September 28, 2010 in order to improve the efficiency, competitiveness and administrative power of local structures. In the law was u. a. stipulated that association communities should have at least 12,000 inhabitants (main residence on June 30, 2009). 7,966 inhabitants were registered in the Maikammer community on the reporting date. Within the limited so-called voluntary phase (until June 30, 2012), a voluntary amalgamation of the Maikammer community with a neighboring regional authority did not materialize.
According to state law on December 20, 2013, the Maikammer community was incorporated into the Edenkoben community on July 1, 2014 . The Maikammer community then submitted a judicial review action to the Rhineland-Palatinate Constitutional Court . In a judgment of June 8, 2015, the law of December 20, 2013 was declared unconstitutional and therefore null and void, so that the Maikammer community was restored to its original form. The illegal forced merger costs the taxpayer 300,000 euros.

A new election of the municipal council was held on January 31, 2016. In 2019 there was another vote on the regular election date.

Economy and Infrastructure
The viticulture and wine processing plants are the dominant economic force in the connected member municipalities. The vineyard area extends east of the Haardt Mountains over a width of about 8 km as far as the Rhine plain. The service sector is particularly strong in the communities of St. Martin and Maikammer due to the development of tourism. The main workplaces here are accommodation and catering establishments as well as retail facilities. In the manufacturing industry, the automotive supplier Tenneco (formerly Gillet) dominates with around 1200 employees, some of which are in the area of the association. Otherwise, there are predominantly commercial operations with a local structure or agricultural and construction-related characteristics (e.g. wineries, car workshops, construction companies and other craft businesses and utilities).
The local community of St. Martin is a recognized health resort and the local community of Maikammer is a recognized resort .
