sentences:  In 1768, Einöllen passed by way of the Selz-Hagenbach Exchange from the "Oberamt" of Meisenheim and the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken (to which the County of Veldenz had passed in 1444) to the Electorate of the Palatinate’s "Amt" of Wolfstein and "Oberamt" of Kaiserslautern.After the French Revolution in 1789 and the subsequent French occupation that lasted until 1814, Einöllen belonged to the Canton of Wolfstein and the Department of Mont-Tonnerre (or Donnersberg in German).Around 1800, under Napoleonic French rule, Einöllen was fleetingly a "mairie" (“mayoralty”), as witnessed by Jakob Gauch, whom historic records describe as the municipal head, border stone minder and provisional mayor.
