Wernersberg was first mentioned in a document dated July 1, 1283, in the spelling "Wernheresberge." Until the end of the 18th century, the village belonged to Pfalz-Zweibrücken. From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and subsequently part of the Napoleonic Empire, Wernersberg was incorporated into the Canton of Annweiler and was under the administration of the Mairie Annweiler. In 1815, the municipality had a total of 397 inhabitants. In the same year, the village was assigned to Austria. Just a year later, the village, along with the entire Palatinate, transferred to the Kingdom of Bavaria. From 1818 to 1862, Wernersberg belonged to the Landkommissariat Bergzabern, which later evolved into the District Office of Bergzabern. From 1939, the village became part of the district of Bergzabern. After World War II, Wernersberg became part of the newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone. As part of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate, the village transitioned on June 7, 1969, to the newly created district of Landau-Bad Bergzabern, which was renamed Südliche Weinstraße in 1978. In 1972, Wernersberg was assigned to the also newly formed administrative community of Annweiler am Trifels. 🌤Temperature: 14°C - 15°C 🎥Recording Date of this video: 10.03.2025 📍Location: Pfalz, Wernersberg Let yourself be enchanted by the bird's-eye view of this village and discover how it differs from villages in other countries.
