... als die Pfalz noch zu Bayern gehörte.

http://www.palzpix.de/bayrischer-windstein.html

 Nur einen Steinwurf hinter der Deutschen Grenze liegt der Bayerische Windstein.

Zur Zeit Napoleons, als die Pfalz noch Bayern angehörte lag der Fels noch auf Bayrischem Gebiet.

Nach dem Sturz Napoleons kam es 1825 zu einem Grenzabkommen zwischen Bayern und Frankreich. Das Gebiet um Niedersteinbach und Obersteinbach wird wieder französisch.

Der Grenzverlauf wurde 1826 vollzogen, der Fels lag von nun an in Frankreich.

Noch heute sind die zahlreichen Grenzsteine zu finden, die den Verlauf der Grenze kennzeichnen.
