 During the Thirty Years' War, both villages were utterly destroyed, were empty of people and had to be settled all over again.Two decades before the collapse of the old feudal order (1768), the "Unteramt" of Einöllen passed under the terms of the Treaty of Schwetzingen, or Treaty of Selz-Hagenbach, to Electoral Palatinate.At the same time, this decision brought about a split from the Palatinate-Zweibrücken "Oberamt" of Meisenheim and the "Unteramt" was then grouped into the Electoral Palatinate "Amt" of Wolfstein, which itself belonged to the "Oberamt" of Kaiserslautern.
