History

Müggelheim was founded in 1747 by twenty families from home or in the Duchy of Pfalz- Zweibrücken. The fact that, as previously often assumed to religious refugees have traded is already therefore implausible, because the 1747 reigning Duke of Palatinate -Zweibrücken was Protestant faith. King Frederick II supported the settlement of the Reformed emigrants by some privileges. Nevertheless, the settlers have through years of the toughest land clearing and excavation work on the barren sandy soil first need to create an existence. The village church was only built in 1804, previously held to the worship in the prayer room the 1763 built on the village green school building from.

The coat of arms of Müggelheim shows Göpel cut in front a green bunch of grapes with nine berries and a leaf, behind a golden (yellow ) sheaf with five ears and down a silver ( white ) wind rightward -looking fish itself.
