history
middle Ages
The Lordship of Lichtenberg bought the village of Zinsweiler in 1332 from the Counts of Ötingen . Due to the acquisition of territory in the 14th century, the Ingweiler and Buchsweiler authorities, which had become too extensive, had to be reorganized at the beginning of the 15th century . Among other things, the Pfaffenhofen office was spun off and made independent, to which Zinsweiler also belonged. In 1456 the Count of Lützelstein ceded his rights to the village to Lichtenberg.
Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474), one of the two heirlooms of Ludwig V von Lichtenberg (* 1417; † 1474) married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417; † 1480), one of them had received a small secondary school from the inventory of the County of Hanau in order to be able to get married. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Jakob von Lichtenberg , an uncle of Anna, Philipp I. d. Ä. 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule . The Pfaffenhofen office with Zinsweiler also belonged to this half. In the following period the village came into the hands of the Counts of Zweibrücken-Bitsch . These counted it to their rule Oberbronn .
Modern times
The rulership of Oberbonn - and with it Zinsweiler - came from Zweibrücken-Bitsch 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 . At this point at the latest, Zinsweiler finally left the area of influence of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg.
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. Due to France's reunification policy , the rule of Oberbronn and the village of Zinsweiler also came 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 .
In 1764 the village and its hammer forge were sold to the De Dietrich family of industrialists and thus left the Oberbronn domain. With the upheavals brought about by the French Revolution , the village was incorporated into the French state after 1793.
