history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 693/94 when Hildifridus, Managoldus and Waldswind donated goods to the Weißenburg monastery in Billigheim in Speiergau ("Bolinchaime in pago Spirinsae"). Other names found in medieval documents were "Bullenkeim", "Bullinkeim", "Bellenkem" and "Bellikam".

In 1234, Bishop Konrad IV of Speyer received the church of Billigheim ("Bullinkeim") with its slopes from Abbot Cuno and the convent of Weißenburg . The bishop transferred these rights to the cathedral chapter in Speyer .

The place itself was a direct property of the empire and mortgaged early on . Around the year 1320, the Archbishop of Mainz, Peter , possibly on behalf of the Klingen Monastery , redeemed the village of Billigheim for 100 pounds of Heller .

In the middle of the 14th century, through Emperor Ludwig IV (1313–1347) or Emperor Karl IV (1347–1378), cheap home and a few other villages were given to Count Palatine Ruprecht I (1329–1390), who in turn passed to Count Emich von Leiningen to Landeck (1237–1281), arrived as a deposit. In 1361 Ruprecht I paid 5,000 gold guilders to the Count of Leinigen, thereby redeeming the pledge for the villages Billigheim, Erlenbach , Godramstein , Klingen and Steinweiler . Since that time Billigheim was an Electoral Palatinate Amtsort whose jurisdiction the initially Fauth of the Office Landeck , later the Fauth of the Office Germersheim was transmitted.

In documents from the 14th century, cheap home was already referred to as a "city" (civitas). In 1450 King Friedrich III awarded (1440–1493) “den vun Bullickem” the right to hold a three-day fair on St. Gallus and a weekly market and declared the residents of Billigheim “free”. Today's cheap home market Purzelmarkt goes back to the market law of 1450. In 1468, Elector Friedrich I (1451–1476) had a city wall and three defensive gates built, of which the upper gate was retained as the town's landmark. In 1550 the city was additionally fortified with ramparts and ditches. This fortress consisted of a regular octagon with a strong mound and present broad and deep ditch with ungemauerten scarps , with two goals Vortoren. The gates and their front gates were connected by arched stone bridges that spanned the moat. The ditch was watered over the Kaiserbach , then called "Kappelbach".

The office of Billigheim was under the Electoral Palatinate Oberamt Germersheim until the end of the 18th century , and in addition to the city of Billigheim, the villages of Erlenbach, Impflingen , Klingen, Rohrbach and Steinweiler belonged to the office of Billigheim . In 1710, the Billigheim court consisted of an upper secondary school officer , an upper secondary school officer , four lay judges and a clerk .

After the French Revolution (1789), the region became part of France in 1792 . Under French administration, the city of Billigheim became the capital of the canton of the same name in 1794 , which was assigned to the arrondissement of Weissenburg in the Bas-Rhin department (Lower Rhine department). The municipalities of Appenhofen , Erlenbach , Heuchelheim , Ilbesheim , Klingen , Mörzheim , Mühlhofen , Rohrbach , Steinweiler and Wollmesheim also belonged to the Canton of Billigheim . In 1802, the cheap home canton and the associated municipalities were incorporated into the Bergzabern canton . In 1808 Billigheim had 1,282 inhabitants, 791 of whom were Reformed , 139 Lutherans , 310 Catholics and 42 Jews . During the French period, cheap home lost its town charter .

While the canton Bergzabern, and so also Billigheim, was assigned to the Kingdom of France in the First Peace of Paris of May 1814, the part of the Lower Rhine department north of the Lauter came under the sovereignty of Austria in the Second Peace of Paris of November 1815 . As early as June 1815, at the Congress of Vienna, Austria had been awarded the remaining Palatinate, which had previously belonged to the Département du Mont-Tonnerre (Donnersberg Department) . In April 1816, the entire Palatinate was finally ceded by Austria to the Kingdom of Bavaria in a state treaty .

Under the Bavarian administration, Billigheim belonged to the Rhine district and the now Bavarian canton of Bergzabern, which was assigned to the Land Commissioner Bergzabern (Bergzabern District Office from 1862). The community of Billigheim had its own administration. In 1825 Georg Peter Kuhn was mayor of Billigheim. The resident country doctor Dr. Friedrich Heitz († 1948) was involved in local history and in 1909 developed the idea of ​​creating the Palatinate flag .

According to an official register of localities for the Free State of Bavaria from 1928, a total of 1,144 inhabitants lived in 269 residential buildings in the rural community Billigheim, 237 inhabitants were Catholics , 863 were Protestants , 42 were Jews , 3 were designated as "other". The parish of the municipality covered 1060 hectares . In the parish village there was a Catholic and a Protestant parish, a Catholic and a Protestant school, a gendarmerie station , a post office, a notary's office as well as a tax and community collection department. The Pfalzgrafmühle and the Wartgartenmühle, each with six residents, belonged to the community.

In the course of the first regional and administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate , the previously independent community Billigheim with 1,579 inhabitants at the time was dissolved on June 7, 1969, and the community Billigheim-Ingenheim was re-formed from it and the communities of Appenhofen , Ingenheim and Mühlhofen . At the same time in 1939 resulting from the district office was Bergzabern district Bergzabern dissolved and the community Billigheim-Ingenheim the new district Landau-Bad Bergzabern (renamed in 1977 in the district of Southern Wine Route assigned).
