Asswiller was a small lordship dependent on the Counts ofLa Petite-Pierre. When thecount palatine of Bavaria,Georg Johann I of Bavaria, took possession of the county, he granted Asswiller as a hereditary fief to the Dalheim family (1588), who were soon succeeded by the Steinkallenfels family: senior officials of the palatine counts. TheseProtestant lords introduced theReformation and remained in Asswiller from the 16th century to 1819.[5] In 1789 Asswiller belonged to the Lord of Carbiston who had acquired it in 1771 by marriage with the heiress of the Steincallenfels family.
