 The name Reichartsweiler slowly disappeared from official documents, although church books kept mentioning it right up until 1700.According to the 1609 Church Visitation protocols of the "Amt" of Baumholder, 136 persons – 91 in Reichartsweiler and 45 in Rehweiler – were living in the united village at that time.Soon thereafter, though, came the Thirty Years' War, which struck Rehweiler very badly, as it did every other village in the area.
