The wine-growing village of Albsheim an der Eis is a district of the local community Obrigheim (Pfalz) in the Rhineland-Palatinate district of Bad Dürkheim . Until 1969 Albsheim was an independent municipality .

geography

Albsheim is located in the southwestern municipality immediately east of the rift valley between the Palatinate Forest and the Rhine plain at an altitude of 140  m . The Eisbach , which forms the border with Mühlheim an der Eis , runs north of the settlement area in a west-east direction .

history

Albsheim was first mentioned in a document in 788. The place formed with eight other communities the so-called Neunmärker , who were allowed to supply themselves with wood in the stump forest around 15 km southwest. Until the end of the 18th century the place belonged to Leiningen-Westerburg . From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Albsheim was incorporated into the canton of Grünstadt and had its own Mairie . In 1815 the place had a total of 332 inhabitants.

From 1816 Albsheim belonged to Bavaria like the entire Palatinate . From 1818 to 1862 Albsheim was part of the Landkommissariat Frankenthal , which was then converted into a district office. In 1928 Albsheim had 431 residents who lived in 75 residential buildings. The Catholics belonged to the parish of Grünstadt, the Protestants to that of Mühlheim. In 1939 the place was incorporated into the Frankenthal district.

After the Second World War , Albsheim became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform that began in the second half of the 1960s, the smaller communities on the middle Eisbach - Albsheim an der Eis, Colgenstein-Heidesheim and Mühlheim an der Eis - were re-established with the larger community on June 7, 1969 Obrigheim amalgamated under the name "Obrigheim (Pfalz)". At that time Albsheim had 489 inhabitants.> At the same time, the district membership changed, since the district of Frankenthal was also dissolved on June 7, 1969; since then the place is in the newly created district of Bad Dürkheim. On April 22, 1972, the community of Obrigheim was assigned to the community of Grünstadt-Land , which became part of the community of Leiningerland on January 1, 2018 .

Economy and Transport

Albsheim is mainly surrounded by agricultural areas, which are mainly used for viticulture . The German Wine Route leading through Grünstadt is 1 km away. State road  395 runs through the village, which connects it to the west via Grünstadt with Kaiserslautern and to the east with Worms . 500 m west of the settlement area, the L 395 passes under the federal highway 271 .

In 1873 Albsheim was connected to the railway network when the Palatinate Northern Railway was extended from Dürkheim to Monsheim ; the station is located on the southwestern outskirts and has since been dismantled to become a stop. Passenger traffic was stopped in 1984, but reactivated in 1995. In 1900 a stop was added on the Worms – Grünstadt railway line , on which, however, passenger traffic was stopped in 1968.
