Schopp
Schopp is a municipality in the district of Kaiserslautern, in Rhineland-Palatinate, western Germany. Schopp station lies on the Biebermühl Railway.
The place was first mentioned in documents in 1345. In the Middle Ages Schopp, together with Waldfischbach, Geiselberg, Schmalenberg and Heltersberg, was under the cloister Hornbach. With the secularization of the monastery in 1557, the places came to the Electorate of Palatinate.
From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire, Schopp was incorporated into the canton Waldfischbach in the department of Donnersberg and was under the Mairie Waldfischbach. In 1815, the place was first added to Austria. A year later, the community moved to the Kingdom of Bavaria and was there part of the Rhine Circle. From 1818 to 1862 the town was part of the Landkommissariat Pirmasens, which was subsequently converted into a district office.
1939 Schopp was incorporated into the district of Pirmasens. After the Second World War, the community within the French occupation zone became part of the then newly formed state Rhineland-Palatinate. In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform Schopp moved in 1969 in the district of Kaiserslautern. Three years later, the town was incorporated into the newly created collective municipality Kaiserslautern-Süd, which was merged into Landstuhl in July 2019.

Various Germanic tribes have inhabited the northern parts of modern Germany since classical antiquity. A region named Germania was documented before AD 100. In 962, the Kingdom of Germany formed the bulk of the Holy Roman Empire. During the 16th century, northern German regions became the centre of the Protestant Reformation. Following the Napoleonic Wars and the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the German Confederation was formed in 1815.
