Bettenhausen is a district of the municipality of Glan-Münchweiler in the Kusel district in Rhineland-Palatinate . Until 1969 it was an independent community.

location

Bettenhausen is located in the North Palatinate Uplands on the right bank of the Glan opposite the main town of Glan-Münchweiler. It was originally a street village on what is now known as "Bettenhausen" or "Bettenhausener Straße", which connects Glan-Münchweiler with Niedermohr . South of the settlement area, opposite the village, the Eichenbach flows into the Glan from the left .

history

The place was first mentioned in 1393 as "Bottenhausen". Bettenhausen belonged to the Electoral Palatinate until the end of the 18th century . 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 Landstuhl ; At that time he formed a community with Niedermohr and was subordinate to the Mairie Obermohr . In 1815 the place had 158 inhabitants. In the same year, Austria was struck. Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . In 1818 Bettenhausen was the smallest self-governing Bavarian community. From 1818 to 1862 he was a member of the Landkommissariat Homburg ; from this the district office of Homburg emerged.

Since part of the district office - including Homburg itself - was added to the newly created Saar area in 1920 , Bettenhausen moved to the newly created district office in Landstuhl . In 1928, Bettenhausen had 64 residents who lived in ten residential buildings. From 1939 the place was part of the district of Kaiserslautern . After the Second World War , Bettenhausen became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . Bettenhausen belonged to the mayor's office of Niedermohr until 1969.

In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform , the previously independent community of Bettenhausen was separated from the Kaiserslautern district on June 7, 1969 and incorporated into the Kusel district. At the same time, today's local community Glan-Münchweiler was re-formed from the communities of Glan-Münchweiler and Bettenhausen. Since then, Bettenhausen has been expanded to include several new development areas.

religion

The Jews who temporarily lived there were buried in Gries . In 1928, 60 residents were Protestant and four were Catholic. The Protestants belonged to the parish of Glan-Münchweiler, the Catholics to that of Kirchmohr . Jews were no longer living in the village at this point.

In addition, at the roundabout shortly before Bettenhausen there is a gym wheel monument in honor of its inventor Otto Feick , who temporarily lived in the village.
