Gundersweiler () is a village and a municipality in the Verbandsgemeinde Nordpfälzer Land and the Donnersbergkreis district, in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is located in the valley of Moschelbach in the North Palatine Uplands, southwest of Donnersberg and between Kaiserslautern and Bad Kreuznach.
== History == The first known mention of Gundersweiler is from the year 891, as 'Novale Guntharii'. The name is believed to have originated from one of the first settlers, 'Gunthari'. In 1290, the village was documented as 'Guntzwilre' and in 1355 it became part of the Electoral Palatinate. In 1515 it joined the Unteramt of Rockenhausen. During the 17th century, robber barons struck the area and the community struggled until armed knights were appointed to guard the road through the Moschelbach valley. The village and surrounding villages suffered greatly during the Thirty Years War and the majority of the area was destroyed.
