A village named Ruppertsweiler – not to be confused with Ruppertsweiler just east of Pirmasens, which has not vanished – first mentioned in 1270 as Ruprehtiswilre in a document issued by Count Heinrich of Veldenz and Geroldseck (the same as the one mentioned just above), lay northwest of Dennweiler on the road that went from Lichtenberg towards Baumholder.
