Our Village~ Hauptstuhl

I LOVE our village and will truly miss this place. We are a few blocks away from a train station and have a couple restaurants in our village along with a bakery. We are surrounded by farms and Rand and I enjoy taking walks to feed the goats, cows, reindeer, horses and pigs. Most of our neighbors are German and are the sweetest people we have ever met. 

I was able to find some information online about the history of Haupstuhl... or should I say "main chair." Hauptstuhl was first mentioned in 1547 as Habstall. The village was founded in the 16th century and was located near the well-defunct at the beginning of the 16th century deserted Ruppach.
The village Haupstuhl (main chair) belonged to the late 18th century, the so-called Small Court rule Landstuhl which was owned by the Barons of Sickingen line to Sickingen. In 1794, the left bank of the Rhine was occupied in War of the First Coalition. From 1798 to 1814 the main chair belonged to the canton of Landstuhl in the department of Donnersberg. Due to the decisions taken at the Congress of Vienna agreements, the region came in June 1815, first to Austria and in 1816 ceded based on a treaty to the Kingdom of Bavaria. Under the Bavarian Administrative belonged main chair from 1817 to the country's Commissariat Homburg in the Rhine district, from 1862 district office Homburg, moved in 1929 Regional office Kaiserslautern and belongs since 1939 to the district of Kaiserslautern. After the Second World War the church was the main chair in the French occupation zone part of the administrative region Pfalz in the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
