Location of Albersbach in Rhineland-Palatinate

Albersbach is a district of the Reichenbach-Steegen community in the Kaiserslautern district in Rhineland-Palatinate . Until 1974 it was an independent community.

location

Albersbach is located in the North Palatinate Uplands in the northeast of the local community, 293 meters above sea level. The place has grown together structurally with the Reichenbach district, so that a spatial separation is no longer possible. On the southwestern edge of the settlement area, the eponymous Albersbach runs in an east-west direction , which flows into the Reichenbach after a kilometer from the left . Albersbach is mainly surrounded by agricultural land. A forest area extends south of the village.

history

The name of the place Albersbach probably comes from a brook in the Alb . Albersbach is mentioned in a document for the first time in 1393 by Count Friedrich II von Veldenz in a letter of assessment , a security for the wife in the event of widowhood .

From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , the place was incorporated into the canton of Wolfstein . In 1815 the place Austria was added. Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 Albersbach - still belonging to the canton Wolfstein - was the Kusel Land Commissioner ; from this the district office Kusel emerged. In 1840 the place had 25 houses and 164 inhabitants. It was designated as a Protestant village and was assigned to the parish Reichenbach .

In 1928 Albersbach had 135 residents who lived in 23 residential buildings. Both Protestants and Catholics belonged to the Reichenbach parish at the time. From 1939 the place was part of the district of Kusel . After the Second World War , Albersbach became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone .

In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform , the place changed to the district of Kaiserslautern on June 7, 1969 , three years later it was assigned to the newly formed community of Weilerbach . On March 16, 1974, Albersbach was incorporated into the Reichenbach-Steegen community, which was newly formed in 1969 and was the result of the merger of Reichenbach and Reichenbachsteegen .

Culture

The only cultural monument on site is a courtyard that was built in 1805 on Albersbacher Straße . The Heimatverein founded in 1980 and the choral society from 1886 exist in Albersbach . At times there was a rifle club founded in 1933 as well as a fruit and horticultural club.

Infrastructure

The place consists of only four streets. Albersbach has belonged to the district court of Kaiserslautern since 1969 ; before the district change in 1969, the counterpart in Lauterecken was responsible.
