Stab is a German word for district. The Offendorf District was in Alsace in what is now Bas-Rhin, France. From its formation until 1480 it was under the jurisdiction of the Lords of Lichtenberg. In 1480 it came by marriage to the Lords of Bitsch-Zweibrücken and was under their jurisdiction until 1570. In 1570 it was transferred by marriage and contracts to the dynastic state of Hanau-Lichtenberg. When that line was extinguished in 1736 the district was transferred to Hesse-Darmstadt. The rights of all nobility to Stab Offendorf were abolished effective 11 Aug 1789 by France. In 1790 the villages in Stab Offendorf were incorporated into the canton of Bischwiller. French sovereignty over these area was confirmed by the Peace of Lunéville on 9 February 1801.
The following villages were in Stab Offendorf:
- Drusenheim
- Herlisheim
- Oberhoffen
- Offendorf
- Rohrweiler
Note: Sometimes the German word Amt (district) is used in relation to the Offendorf District instead of Stab.
