 Only a few centuries later, though, did Wahnwegen actually arise as a village, perhaps in the 12th or 13th century.Thus, its first documentary mention came relatively late, namely in a 1446 steward's account from Lichtenberg Castle.According to this document, the estate at Wahnwegen had to deliver four "Malter" of grain to Count Palatine Stephan of Zweibrücken.
