history

The first Colgenstein church was mentioned in the " Codex Edelini " for the year 985. In the so-called Salian church robbery , this basilica and the associated estate fell to Duke Otto I. In the Middle Ages, Colgenstein and Heidesheim, along with seven other communities, belonged to the so-called Neunmärkern , who were allowed to get timber in the stump forest around 15 kilometers southwest. Both districts later belonged to the Counts of Leiningen as fiefs; initially they were part of Leiningen-Dagsburg-Hardenburg . From 1777 to 1779 Karl Friedrich Barth set up a philanthropist in the castle . From 1787 Count Wenzel Joseph resided at Heidesheim Castle , which was built in 1609 and was the seat of the short-lived County of Leiningen-Heidesheim until it was burned down by the French in 1794. The castle park has been preserved.

From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Colgenstein and Heidesheim - already combined into one municipality at that time - were incorporated into the canton of Grünstadt and formed the Mairie Colgenstein . The Lutheran pastor Samuel Köster worked here, who had a freedom tree erected in 1792 and who in 1793 was a member of the Rhenish-German National Convention of the newly founded Republic of Mainz . Between 1797 and 1827 he also worked as a parish clerk and justice of the peace for the canton of Grünstadt. In 1815 the community had a total of 310 inhabitants. From 1816 Colgenstein and Heidesheim belonged to Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 they were part of the Landkommissariat Frankenthal , which was then converted into a district office.
