 That same year, Reipoltskirchen became part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate.Despite it being the Americans who had marched into the village, Reipoltskirchen soon afterwards found itself in the French zone of occupation, and until 1955, it was subject to the "Gouvernement Militaire Français" in the wake of the unconditional surrender by the Third Reich.In the course of the 1968 administrative restructuring in Rhineland-Palatinate, Reipoltskirchen was grouped into the "Verbandsgemeinde" of Wolfstein in 1971 as an "Ortsgemeinde".
