Bliesransbach ( ) is a district of the Saarland community of Kleinblittersdorf in the Saarbrücken regional association . Until the end of 1973 Bliesransbach was an independent municipality.
The place is also known as the "Gate to Bliesgau ".
location
Bliesransbach is located in the southeast corner of the Saarbrücken city association, in the lower Bliestal on a slope sloping to the south. This slope belongs to a wide basin through which the Blies , the border river to France , flows.
Neighboring towns are Blieshaben-Bolchen , Blies-Schweyen , Blies-Guersviller , Sitterswald , Auersmacher , Kleinblittersdorf , Bübingen , Fechingen , Eschringen and Ormesheim .
Millions of years ago, at the time of the Alpine folding, the valley basin was washed out by the Blies in a horseshoe shape and only open to the south. In this way, this basin of the lower Blies remains shielded from the surrounding mountains against excessively harsh weather.
This results in a noticeably more intense and warming solar radiation for this landscape, which is open to the south, than in other regions.
In the spell area, the differences in altitude from the Blieslauf (195 m above sea level) through the middle east (235 m above sea level) to the surrounding mountain ridge (360 m above sea level) cause different microclimate zones, which are also recognizable as vegetation zones. In the cool, damp lowlands of the Blies, which are fenced in by poplars and willows, and their tributaries, meadows and willows spread out. In the middle heights up to the mountains arable farming is practiced. Here we also find the many rows of fruit trees near the village, the well-known " orchard meadows " which shape the landscape and to which the lower Bliestal owes its reputation as a "park landscape". The forest of Bliesransbach, which began on the Hasselberg and reached as far as the border to Ormesheim, supplied the timber and firewood for the residents in earlier centuries.
history
This favorable, settlement-friendly location of the lower Bliestal has always exerted its charm on the people and led to the fact that this area was already populated in prehistory and early history.
Already in the younger Stone Age (5000–2000 BC) people populated the Bliesgau in no small number as hunters and farmers. This can also be assumed for the Bliesransbach area on the basis of numerous finds.
Bliesransbach was founded in 796 by the rich and wealthy Widonen , Wido , and his brother Werner , the monastery Hornbach bequeathed (the certificate here about is in the National Archives Speyer).
As part of the Saarland regional and administrative reform , the previously independent municipality of Bliesransbach was assigned to the municipality of Kleinblittersdorf on January 1, 1974.
Name interpretation
The name Bliesransbach has seen many changes since it was first mentioned in writing: Ramespach , Rameßbach , Ramilspach , Ramspach , Ranspach , Ransbach or Ranspach iuxta Mengen (Ransbach bei Mengen, to differentiate it from Heckenransbach bei Puttelange in Lorraine) to Bliesransbach . The connection with the river name "Blies" came relatively late and was first mentioned in 1658 as "Bliesranspach" and in 1663 as "Blieshonspach".
In 1434 Johann von Ruldingen transferred his shares to the Wörschweiler monastery a . a. to the villages of Bolchen, Ranspach and Mengen for 470 guilders. As a result, the Wörschweiler Monastery acquired further property on the Bliesransbacher Bann.
politics
coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved on May 27, 1955.
Blazon : "Split of blue and black, inside a shortened, overturned golden tip, in which a blue crook emerges from the gap, in front a slanted golden wolf tang with two central rungs and blunt ends, behind an identical wolf tang with a central rung."
The colors of the place are blue - yellow.
The place shows in the coat of arms the chronological order of territorial rule; until 1560 Hornbach monastery (abbot), until 1755 Pfalz-Zweibrücken (painted wolf tang) and then Nassau-Saarbrücken (double painted wolf tang), both still preserved on boundary stones. The tripartite division of the shield is also intended to symbolize the location at the triangle of Bavaria / Prussia / France and Lorraine from 1815 to 1918.
The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Kurt Hoppstädter .
Attractions
The old church, which is now used as a parish and youth home, is worth seeing. The simple hall building was created in 1779 through the renovation and expansion of a previous building from the 17th century by the Saarbrücken master builder Lautemann.
The Wendelinus Chapel from the 18th century belongs to the parish of St. Lukas. This chapel is located in the "Holy Gardens". In front of the Wendelinus Chapel, two sandstone stairs lead down to the "Heiligenbrunnen" (1862 in the Trier diocese archive, section 70, no. 24). Many processions used to make pilgrimages here, because healing powers were ascribed to this water. At the top of the stairs there is an old cane cross from 1736.
