 The Mayweilerhof, a rural estate, was founded by the Duchy in 1762 (or 1764, according to another source), though not on Mayweiler's former site on the meadowlands of the upper Blaubach, but rather in the same place where it lies today, stretching southwards from the Kuralb-Blaubach watershed.Today it belongs to Oberalben.At first, this new centre was made up of a single homestead in "Erbbestand" (a uniquely German landhold arrangement in which ownership rights and usage rights were separated; this is forbidden by law in modern Germany), and it became apparent that its cropland and grazing land was quite fertile throughout.
