Location of the local community Dickenschied in the Rhein-Hunsrück district | ||
Dickenschied is a municipality in the Rhein-Hunsrück district in Rhineland-Palatinate . It belongs to the Kirchberg (Hunsrück) community .
geography
Dickenschied is located on a ridge of the Hunsrück five kilometers south of Kirchberg , with which it connects the federal highway 421 . In the east lies the valley of the Simmerbach , in the west the valley of the Kyrbach , in the south the Lützelsoon rises .
history
The area around Dickenschied has been populated since the Neolithic Age, as finds in the neighboring communities of Woppenroth and Gemünden show. The name of the village refers to the time of the late Franconian conquest (around 600–750), as the places founded during this time often end in -scheid , -schied, -hausen, -rod / -rat or -feld. Names with -scheid / -schied and -rod / -rat are explicit clearing names of the expansion phase, the later period of the land grab.
Local historical research sees the first documentary mention mostly in a bull by Pope Urban III. from the year 1186. Some authors interpret the local name “Dicheset” there as Ditscheid in the Eifel because of other localities mentioned there and the spatial proximity to the mentioned Karden .
Dickenschied used to be part of the Franconian Nahegau . From the 8th to the 12th century, the area around Dickenschied belonged to the Kostenzer care . Until 1124 it belonged to the Counts of Dill . Then it came to Sponheimischen rule . With the occupation of the left bank of the Rhine by French revolutionary troops in 1794 , the place became French. In 1815, after the French era , it was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna . Since 1946 the place has been part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate .
Up until the middle of the last century, slate was mined in the "Auf Allern" pit in a side valley of the Kyrbach in the southwest of the village . Today the mine serves as a show mine for regional tourism.
Dickenschied had 231 inhabitants in 1809, the census of May 17, 1939 found 471 inhabitants, of which 241 were men and 230 women. Around the year 2000, around 750 people lived in the village.
Former hamlet belonging to it
Dickenschied used to have several settlements outside the town. The only one that still exists is Panzweiler , which today belongs to Gemünden.
Werchweiler
The Northeast of town former Werchweiler or Werrigweiler ( 49 ° 54 '53.4 " N , 7 ° 25' 4.7" O ) was first mentioned in 1299: Knight Sibido from the Schmidtburg gave his goods to Werchweiler the monastery Ravengiersburg . The place was obliged, together with Rohrbach , Kerweiler and Dickenschied, to provide for the maintenance of the priest, who was employed in the newly established Dickenschied parish in 1317. Werchweiler went under in the Thirty Years War . The bell from 1686 still bore the inscription: "Dickenschied and Werchweiler let me pour."
Scheidbach
Today reminds a street name to the "Scheidbach" ( 49 ° 54 '18.4 " N , 7 ° 26' 35.4" O ), a settlement at the confluence of two streams Scheid, about one and a half kilometers to the east from the village. The earliest evidence comes from the year 1778, when Jakob Schein “von der Schißbach bey Dickenschied” asked the Baden rulers to be allowed to “ reopen a grinding mill that has not been used since time immemorial” and make it habitable. The settlement is said to have served the Schinderhannes as a quarter for a long time. In the 19th century, two farming families lived in the hamlet and at least six other families lived in primitive huts. In order to get rid of the residents of the settlement, who were notorious in the Hunsrück for cattle theft and begging, the local community bought some of the houses in 1894, 1897 and 1899. In 1904 a remaining property burned down. At the end of November 1909 the last residents moved to Dickenschied. The last house was burned down because of vermin infestation.
Nanny Lambrecht's novel Armsünderin is about the life of a Scheidbacherin.
The Dickenschieder teacher Elisabeth Glasmann described the place as "a settlement of very poor people, about 10 dwellings, who stole and drove a lot of illegal things, one had even been in prison for 12 years." In 1899, the unpopular Scheidbachers were given money to settle in another community . In Sargenroth, for example, a family was turned away on the day of their arrival. Afterwards they lived in the slate quarry, in winter in the former parish hall. "Later the children were taken to institutions and the [...] old people were buried here [ie in Dickenschied] and their graves are a wilderness".

The oak leaf symbolizes the community's abundance of forests. The lower half of the shield refers to the former belonging to the front county of Sponheim .
Community partnerships
A partnership has existed between Felsőtárkány in northern Hungary near Eger and Dickenschied since August 19, 1993 . It came about when, as a result of the hurricane " Wiebke ", which caused great damage in January 1990, many workers were brought from Sweden, Austria and Hungary to clean up the forests of the Soonwald and Lützelsoons, and in particular workers from Felsőtárkány in the Dickenschied holiday apartments Found quarters for a year. From the first private contacts a relationship arose between the villages, which led to the parish partnership. There are connections between several associations. Dickenschied supports a music association, two kindergartens and a school in the partner community.
On October 9, 2013, a partnership was established with Salvador do Sul in the Serra Gaúcha in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul . Salvador do Sul was essentially founded by immigrants from the Hunsrück.
Churches
Under the Carolingians, the large parish of Kirchberg was established in the area of the Denzer Königsgut , to which a total of 51 localities belonged, with a central baptistery in Kirchberg and with chapels in Dickenschied and Womrath, among others. The Dickenschieder Chapel was built before 1317. In that year Dickenschied was raised as a branch of Kirchberg to a parish vicarie with its own priest. Kirchberg remained one of the important centers on the Hunsrück until the 16th century.
After the introduction of the Reformation in 1557, Dickenschied was predominantly Protestant. After the Thirty Years' War , Catholics were granted religious freedom and had been allowed to hold services in the Dickenschieder Church since 1688. With the introduction of the Feast of the Fourteen Holy Helpers in 1747, which at times attracted up to 3,000 pilgrims, the Catholics gained more influence. Today's Catholic Church of the Fourteen Helpers was inaugurated as a simultaneous church in 1844 . The Simultaneum ended in 1912 and with it the conflicts over the use of the church ended. To replace it, the Catholics paid the Protestant parish 18,000 marks, which they used to build their new church. Until 1916, the Protestant community still enjoyed hospitality in the now Catholic church. Then she celebrated her services in the Protestant schoolhouse.
In the evangelical church, Trinity (June 7th) 1914, after the First World War , services have been celebrated since the 4th Advent (December 22nd) 1918 . It was built at the time when Walter Schneider, an uncle of Paul Schneider, was pastor in Dickenschied and Womrath. It has been a listed building since 1981. In Dickenschied, which belongs to the Protestant parish of Simmern-Trarbach , Paul Schneider was pastor from 1934 to 1937 ; he was murdered on July 18, 1939 in Buchenwald concentration camp . Of today's population, around 340 people each belong to the Protestant and Catholic communities.
Attractions
economy
The former determining economic factors agriculture and slate mining have almost completely disappeared. Two (full-time) farms and seven roofing companies, some with a focus on slate roofing, are only faint echoes; There are a total of 35 trades in the municipality, including an artisanal pottery workshop founded in 1992 that markets nationally. The already traditional local craft and trade show last brought together around 50 local and regional exhibitors and a farmers' market in 2010.
tourism
Two tourist routes lead through Dickenschied, the Lützelsoon cycle path runs parallel to the federal highway 421 to Kirchberg and the Celtic path Nahe – Mosel leads hikers over hedges (and the approximately 130 barrows in Bannholz between Dickenschied, Lindenschied and Hecken) to Kirchberg, five kilometers away. There are also a few guest houses and holiday apartments in Dickenschied, as well as the local hospitality industry, which tourists can also use on site or when passing through.
The memory of Pastor Schneider also leads strangers and friends to the place to be grave and to commemorative events.
