About this picture

Lingenfeld is a municipality in the district of Germersheim in Rhineland-Palatinate . It is the administrative seat of the association of the same name . Lingenfeld is designated as a basic center according to state planning .

geography

The residential areas Brünnelberg, Flugplatz, Kattenbuckel, Vorwerk Friedrich and Im Erholungsgebiet belong to Lingenfeld.

Geographical location

Lingenfeld is located in the Upper Rhine Valley , in the southern Palatinate , between the Rhine River in the east and the German Wine Route to the west of the municipality. At 104 meters, the place is higher than the surrounding municipalities on the Rhine, so the risk of flooding can be almost eliminated. However, the old course of the Rhine caused the loss of around 250 hectares of land in the past centuries by washing under the high bank.

Neighboring communities

Neighboring communities are clockwise (starting at 12 noon): Schwegenheim , Römerberg (Palatinate) , Philippsburg (on the other side of the Rhine in Baden-Württemberg ), Germersheim , Lustadt and Westheim (Palatinate) .

history

The name Lingenfeld comes either from a settlement "on the long field" or from "Field des Lango" or Lingo. The place was first mentioned in a document from 1063 as "Lengenveld".

In 1969 farmers found the silver treasure from Lingenfeld near the old road from Speyer to Germersheim in Lingenfeld . An earthen pot in the ground was filled with silver vessels, over 2000 silver coins and pieces of jewelry. Thanks to the coins, the treasure can be dated between 1347 and 1349. At the same time, the persecution of Jews at the time of the Black Death occurred in 1348/49 . The Jews were wrongly accused of causing the plague epidemic by poisoning wells . They were persecuted, murdered in pogroms and their property was looted. The silver vessels and pieces of jewelry from Lingenfeld suggest that they are items from pawn shops of a Jewish moneylender. When the Jewish citizen had to flee Speyer, he took his cash and valuable pledges with him. His further fate remains unknown.
