 According to researchers Dolch and Greule, this village's name may have been applied for a time to another, now also vanished, village in the "Eßweiler Tal".It is highly likely that, as in Hundheim's case, "Huntwilre" was the seat of a "Hun", or an "Untervogt", who exercised some lordly function throughout the dale.It is not only likely but quite certain that there was a place within what are now Oberweiler's limits called Neidecken.
