Panzweiler had documentary mentions in 1259 and 1276 as Panzwilre and belonged along with Blankenrath to the parish of Mastershausen. Beginning in 1794, Panzweiler lay under French rule. In 1814 it was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna. Since 1946, it has been part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Under the Verwaltungsvereinfachungsgesetz (“Administration Simplification Law”) of 18 July 1970, with effect from 7 November 1970, the municipality was grouped into the Verbandsgemeinde of Zell.
The council is made up of 6 council members, who were elected by majority vote at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.[3]
Panzweiler's mayor is Winfried Theisen, and his deputies are Bernd Klemm and Frank Sabel.[4]
