history
middle Ages
The village of Wildenguth 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 initially included the Lords of Ochsenstein (until 1485), who were inherited by the Counts of Zweibrücken-Bitsch .
Modern times
From Zweibrücken-Bitsch the rule of Oberbonn - and with it Wildenguth - came to this family in 1551 as a dowry on the occasion of the marriage of Amelie von Zweibrücken-Bitsch with 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 Wildenguth 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 , while the Sinclair part went to the von Lewenhaupt family, who were also of Swedish origin . 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. Wildenguth was now French.
