 Eschenau was nevertheless time and again transferred by the territorial lords to subordinate castle lords and officials.While in the 14th century the village was held by the Lords of Montfort, in the late 15th century it passed in equal shares to Heinrich of Ramberg, Emerich of Löwenstein and Rudolf of Alben.On the other hand, personages from Eschenau can be named who were in foreign service, such as the young nobleman Kunz von Eschenau, who served the town of Kaiserslautern in 1477, and Ludwig von Eschenau, who about 1544 was an "Amtmann" in Meisenheim and later in Bergzabern, and also a Palatinate "Großhofmeister".
