 After French rule, the Congress of Vienna drew new boundaries yet again.After a transitional time, Hundheim was grouped into the "bayerischer Rheinkreis", later known as "Rheinpfalz" ("Rhenish Palatinate"), an exclave of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816, where it became the seat of a new "Bürgermeisterei" ("mayoralty") to which also belonged the villages of Nerzweiler, Aschbach, Hinzweiler and Hachenbach, within the "Landcommissariat" (later "Bezirksamt", then "Landkreis" or district) of Kusel and the Canton of Lauterecken.Between 1880 and 1892, however, Nerzweiler was the mayoral seat.
