history

Dagstuhl Castle and the castle ruins on a lithograph from 1863

Dagstuhl Castle, first mentioned in 1290, was the nucleus of the later Dagstuhl rule . After 1375 the rule came to the families of the four daughters of the last owner. From 1600 the sovereignty lay with Kurtrier , whose Archbishop Philipp Christoph von Sötern bought the rule between 1616 and 1626. He turned it into an entails rule for his family. In 1696 the rule came to the Oettingen-Baldern family through marriage . After the young Count Anton took over the reign, however, the debts of his father overtook him, who, like many princes of his time, had tried to emulate the pomp of the French kings. Pressured by the creditors, the count remembered the distant Hochwalddependance and moved to Wadern in 1758 . In the core of today's central location, the Grafenschloß was built as the official seat (today integrated into the town hall) and the Oettinger Schlösschen.

In 1720 the castle was destroyed. Count Johann Anton von Oettingen-Sötern wanted to build a new castle at the gates of his residence. After he was put off by the cost estimates for the rebuilding of the Dagstuhl castle ruins, construction work began in the Löstertal below the castle ruins. In 1760 the mansion was completed. After the family died out, there was an inheritance dispute over the imperial rule of Dagstuhl , but the Oettingen-Wallerstein family could not take over their inheritance due to the events of the French Revolution . She was compensated by church property in Swabia for the loss of her rights to the Sötern inheritance.

The baroque palace chapel Heilig Kreuz was built in 1743.

In 1815 the rule came to the Kingdom of Prussia and in 1946 the area became part of the Saarland .

Dagstuhl belonged to the end of the First World War the district Merzig on the part of the Prussian governmental district Trier was. This district was assigned to the Saar area under League of Nations administration in 1920 according to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty - with the exception of the Hochwald communities (districts of Wadern, Losheim and Weiskirchen), including Dagstuhl, which remained under the name of "Restkreis" under the Trier district. The district administration of the "remaining district" was in Wadern . After the Second World War , France decreed that the “remaining district” belonged to the newly formed Saarland, which was under French influence .

On January 1, 1957, the Saarland and with it Dagstuhl again became part of Germany.

As part of the regional and administrative reform in Saarland , the previously independent community of Dagstuhl was dissolved on January 1, 1974 and assigned to the new community, from 1978 on, the town of Wadern.

coat of arms

The town's coat of arms was designed by Willy Weinen: a black St. Andrew's cross on gold as a reference to the builders of Dagstuhl Castle in 1290, the noblemen of Saarbrücken, Grimburg and Dagstuhl. On the left, on green, three silver bars, the coat of arms of the Lords of Fleckenstein from Alsace near Hagenau, co-heirs of Dagstuhl Castle. The Fleckenstein tower of the castle ruins is a reminder of this rule, which the Lords of Dagstuhl called themselves.
