history
middle Ages
The village of Weinburg belonged to the Oberbronn lordship , which is documented from the 13th century and belonged to a number of noble families one after the other. These included the Lords of Ochsenstein (until 1485), who were inherited by the Counts of Zweibrücken-Bitsch .
Modern times
The rulership of Oberbonn - and with it Weinburg - 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 . 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. As a result of France's reunion policy , the rule of Oberbronn and the village of Weinburg 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 , the Sinclair part to the von Lewenhaupt family, who were also of Swedish descent. 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. Weinburg was French now.
