The Revolutionary troops occupied the German lands on the Rhine’s left bank and annexed them to France. After a thorough territorial reorganization in 1801, Föckelberg belonged to the "Mairie" (“Mayoralty”) of Neunkirchen, the Canton of Wolfstein, the Arrondissement of Kaiserslautern and the Department of Mont-Tonnerre (or Donnersberg in German), whose seat was at Mainz. In the Bavarian time that followed, beginning in 1816, the village belonged within the "Bayerischer Rheinkreis" (the bulk of the Palatinate that the Congress of Vienna had awarded to the Kingdom of Bavaria) to the "Landkommissariat" of Kusel, the canton of Wolfstein and the "Bürgermeisterei" (“Mayoralty”) of Neunkirchen.
