 The dispute was settled in 1733 with the Veldenz Succession Treaty of Mannheim in Electorate of the Palatinate's favour, making Matzenbach an Electorate of the Palatinate landhold until the end of feudal times.Eisenbach shared a history with the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken until that state was swept away in the course of the French Revolution.The "Amt" of Reichenbach transferred along with other lands to the new County Palatine of Palatinate-Veldenz-Lützelstein in 1543 included Gimsbach as well as Matzenbach (see above), and likewise people in Gimsbach suffered through the same wars in the 17th century.
