 With the new political arrangement and within the new boundaries, Neunkirchen am Potzberg found itself in the "Mairie" (“Mayoralty”) of Neunkirchen, the Canton of Wolfstein, the Arrondissement of Kaiserslautern and the Department of Mont-Tonnerre (or Donnersberg in German) whose seat was at Mainz.After French rule, the Congress of Vienna drew new boundaries yet again.After a transitional time, Neunkirchen am Potzberg was grouped into the "bayerischer Rheinkreis", later known as "Rheinpfalz" (“Rhenish Palatinate”), an exclave of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816, where it was the seat of a "Bürgermeisterei" (“mayoralty”) at first within the "Landcommissariat" (today "Landkreis" or district) of Kusel and the Canton of Wolfstein.
