history

Until the French Revolution , Berghausen was part of the Speyer Monastery . From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Berghausen was incorporated into the Canton of Speyer . In 1816 the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 he was a member of the Landkommissariat Speyer ; from this the district office of Speyer emerged.

In 1928 Berghausen had 1,656 inhabitants who lived in 271 residential buildings. The Catholics owned a local parish at the time, while the Protestants belonged to that of Mechtersheim . From 1938 the place was part of the district of Speyer .

After the Second World War , Berghausen 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, Berghausen was merged on June 7, 1969 with the neighboring communities of Heiligenstein and Mechtersheim to form the new local community of Römerberg (Pfalz) . At the same time, the place changed to the district of Ludwigshafen, which has been called Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis since 2004 .

Today, Berghausen is primarily a residential community for people working in Speyer and other larger communities.

For road traffic it is opened up by the federal road 9 (Speyer– Germersheim ), which passes in the north-west, and the federal road 39 (Speyer– Neustadt an der Weinstrasse ) in the north.

On the north-western edge of the settlement, Berghausen has a train station on the Schifferstadt – Wörth railway line . This was opened in 1864 when the line that previously ended in Speyer was extended to Germersheim; the connection to Wörth took place in 1876.
