History

It is speculated that Jakobsweiler was already settled during the Roman era. There is no proof for this theory. Jakobsweiler got its name in 1190.

After the War of the First Coalition Jakobsweiler was occupied and later annexed by France with the Treaty of Campo Formio in 1797. From 1798 to 1814 it belonged to the French Departement du Mont-Tonnerre. After the Congress of Vienna the region was first given to Austria (1815) and later to Bavaria (1816).

After World War II Jakobsweiler became part of Rhineland-Palatinate (1946). Since 1969 it belongs to the Donnersbergkreis district.
