history

Early modern age

The oldest surviving mention of Winzeln comes from 1534, whereby the original place name “Windeselen” was initially “Wentzel” (1534) and from 1563 “Wintzel”.

The village belonged to the county of Zweibrücken-Bitsch and there to the Lemberg office and its official school Gerspach . The following mills belonged to Winzeln: Old Blümelsmühle, Lichersbacher Mühle (also: "Katzenmühle"), a paper mill , the Rehmühlen and the Scheeler Mühle.

Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510; † 1570) died in 1570 as the last male member of his family. The Lemberg office was inherited by his daughter, Ludovica Margaretha von Zweibrücken-Bitsch , who was married to the (heir) Count Philipp (V) von Hanau-Lichtenberg . Her father-in-law, Count Philipp IV. Von Hanau-Lichtenberg , gave the strict Roman Catholic Duke Karl III by immediately introducing the Lutheran creed . of Lorraine, the opportunity to intervene militarily, as the latter had suzerainty over the Bitsch rule, which was also part of the inheritance . In July 1572 Lorraine troops occupied the county. Since Philip IV was unable to cope with the overwhelming power of Lorraine, he chose the legal route. In the subsequent process before the Reich Chamber of Commerce, Lorraine was able to prevail with regard to the Bitsch rule, while the Lemberg office - and thus also Winzeln - was awarded to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg .

1736 died with Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family. Due to the marriage of his only daughter, Charlotte (* 1700; † 1726), with the Hereditary Prince Ludwig (VIII.) (* 1691; † 1768) of Hesse-Darmstadt , the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg fell there.

Modern times

In the course of local government reform, Winzeln was incorporated into Pirmasens on June 7, 1969.
