The so-called Wittelsbacher Schlösschen:

Odernheim as the residence of a prince's daughter

Count Palatine Duke Wolfgang von Zweibrücken was married to Anna von Hessen. The first child from this marriage was Princess Christina, born on February 29, 1546 in Zweibrücken. Around 1570 Princess Christina was engaged to Duke Friederich Kasimir von Teschen. However, the marriage did not come about. The groom died in 1571 and Princess Christina remained unmarried. The princess often stayed in Meisenheim, the second residence of the principality. She must have often come to the neighboring town of Odernheim and grown fond of it. In any case, she soon took up permanent residence in Odernheim. She lived here in this "Schlösschen", a well-preserved house with a tower, which was built in 1567 by Duke Wolfgang near the upper gate. Princess Christine lived here from 1591 until her death in 1619.

In Odernheim, the princess soon gained a reputation as a helper of the poor and an advocate for the oppressed. She became the godmother of numerous children of poor parents and lovingly cared for them until their deaths.

While she was still alive, Princess Christine had a burial place erected in the cemetery near the former church. However, the wish to be buried in Odernheim was not fulfilled. After her death, she was 73 years old, she was transferred to Meisenheim and buried there in the castle church next to her parents.

In 1567 Duke Wolfgang built the "Zweibrücker Schlösschen" near the Obertor for his daughter Palatine Countess Christine, this building is still a remarkable building today.
