history

Wellesweiler is located at the intersection of two old Roman roads . But archaeological investigations are no longer possible, as the largest industrial settlements in the city are now located in this area. After Bexbach had been added to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816, a so-called yardstick , a barrier with a customs station, was erected in 1829 on the Prussian-Bavarian border leading to Wellesweiler .

The completion of a railway line in 1850 made it easier to sell the locally mined coal. The consequent increasing coal mining caused many miners and smelters to settle in Wellesweiler.

The Wellesweiler school was inaugurated in 1887.

In 1922 Wellesweiler was incorporated into the municipality of Neunkirchen, which became a town.
