history

Bundenthal town center with church

Center of Bruchweiler-Bärenbach with church

In the course of the Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform, the two previously independent communities of Bruchweiler-Bärenbach in the north and Bundenthal in the south were merged on June 7, 1969 to form the new community of Wieslautern.

Bundenthal, a smaller district with around 40% of the population, felt inadequately represented in the Wieslauter municipal council from the start and opposed the merger. After twenty years of efforts, Bundenthal managed to have Wieslautern dissolved by state law on June 17, 1989 . Since then Bruchweiler-Bärenbach and Bundenthal have been independent communities again.
