story
Until 1792 the place belonged to Palatinate-Zweibrücken . From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Vogelbach was incorporated into the canton of Landstuhl . The place then moved to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 he was a member of the Land Commissariat Homburg ; from this the district office Homburg emerged. Since part of the district office - including Homburg itself - was added to the newly created Saar area in 1920 , Vogelbach moved to the Kaiserslautern district office and was managed by a district office branch office based in Landstuhl until 1938. From 1939 the place was part of the district of Kaiserslautern . After the Second World War , Vogelbach became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate, Vogelbach was incorporated into Bruchmühlbach on June 7, 1969 , before this was merged into the new municipality of Bruchmühlbach-Miesau three years later .
