Maxdorf () is a municipality in the Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis, in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is situated approximately 11 km west of Ludwigshafen. Maxdorf is also the seat of the Verbandsgemeinde ("collective municipality") Maxdorf.
==History== The area that would become Maxdorf was originally a timber yard in the 1700s until it was destroyed in the French Revolution in 1794. Gradually people started settling around the timber yard until 1819 when Maxdorf was formally founded by King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria. It was incorporated into Lambsheim in 1865. After the First World War, French soldiers occupied the village and destroyed the schoolhouse. During the Second World War, Nazi Germany used French prisoners of war to clear the streets of snow in 1941. Maxdorf was bombed by the Royal Air Force in 1944, which destroyed a third of the village's buildings.
