Lampersloch was historically a German-speaking town. In theMiddle Ages it was part of the lordship of Lichtenberg, a small German territory within theHoly Roman Empire. By marriage it later became part of the County ofZweibrücken-Bitsch, another German territory. In 1570 it became part of the County ofHanau-Lichtenberg, which was also a German territory. Immediately afterwards, the ruler, Philipp V of Hanau-Lichtenberg, made the territory officiallyLutheran. During the reign ofLouis XIV of France the territory came under French dominance, although it continued to be ruled by the counts of Hanau. After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III, the county was inherited by the son of his only daughter Charlotte, the hereditary prince and later Landgrave of theLandgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt, Ludwig IX. Following theFrench Revolution the area was annexed by France. In 1871 it reverted to being part of Germany, and after theFirst World War it again became part of France. While the area was occupied by Germany from 1940 until the liberation of France from Nazi occupation in the Second World war, it was not formally annexed.
