 Even as far back as the 15th century, the so-called “Kingdom” posed a problem for Selchenbach and a series of neighbouring villages.The name ("Königreich" in German) went back to the free Imperial Domain around Kaiserslautern, out of which the "Remigiusland" had been carved.It was a great swath of land stretching from Marth to Bubach, taking in part of Selchenbach's municipal area, too.
