History

edit

Ohlungen was an Imperial Village (Reichsdorf) of the Holy Roman Empire. Within its jurisdiction was a former Imperial Hamlet (Reichsweiler) called Keffendorf. Both passed to France in the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. In November 1944, German occupiers expelled around 10% of the village population in anticipation of severe fighting in the area.
