history
Ancient and Middle Ages
The area was settled in prehistoric times. During Roman times, there were forest farms in the Spiesen district, several sanctuaries and burial grounds and a villa rustica at the Freidelbrunnen. An economic relationship to the Kännel coal mining of the seam Tauentzien in Heinitz is likely.
In the Middle Ages, princes and counts owned properties in Spiesen and the surrounding area, which were gradually sold or given away to the Neumünster monasteries (now part of Ottweiler ) and Wadgassen .
The first mention Spiesens in 1195 is found in a document in which Count Louis the elder of Saarwerden the monastery Wadgassen a hoof at Spizze gives. Two years later, Pope Celestine III confirmed . the Wadgassen monastery his rights to a mansus (hooves) at Spize . In 1286 a church in Spizzen was mentioned for the first time, whose right to occupy parishes was regulated in a contract between the Neumünster monastery and the knight Friedrich von Stein. This knight and his wife sold their owners in Spizzen to the Wadgassen monastery in 1295 . A dispute broke out between knight Joffried von Saarbrücken and the monasteries of Wadgassen and Neumünster over the patronage right of the church ( ecclesie de Spissa ), which was settled in 1307. In 1345 Joffried von Saarbrücken and Frau Sophie gave Archbishop Balduin von Trier their own property in Spiesen as a fief . Five years later, in 1350, Joffried transferred his quarter of the patronage of the church in Spiesen to the Wadgassen monastery forever. Without the knowledge of the episcopal liege lord, Joffried sold his share to Spiesen in 1357 to Count Walram II of Zweibrücken . This part was handed over to Wadgassen in 1366 by Count Eberhard von Zweibrücken. The lehnsherrliche gave consent for this Archbishop Otto von Trier until 1419. 1377 handed Mechthilde of Spiesen (Metza) and their owners in Spiesen the monastery Neumünster. Wadgassen owned 3/4 and Neumünster 1/4 of all goods and rights.
Soldiers of Duke Ludwig I of Pfalz-Zweibrücken , known as the Black , attacked Spiesen in 1454, plundered the place and drove away the cattle.
Early modern age
In 1538 a mill was built on the Spieser district , the Spiesermühle .
In the years from 1549 to 1573 there was a border dispute with Rohrbach about Bottenberg, Eulenbronnen (today's linden spring near the Glashütte pond ) and Spieser Mühle.
Count Albrecht von Nassau-Weilburg-Ottweiler , ruler of Spiesen through Neumünster, introduced the Reformation in 1575 . The Neumünster Monastery was secularized in 1576 and its goods confiscated in Spiesen. In 1592 the Catholic parish of Spiesen was officially abolished by Count Albrecht, and in 1605 the Catholic Church was officially closed.
During the Thirty Years' War Spiesen was occupied by Swedish troops in 1631 and finally came into the possession of the Counts of Ottweiler in the same year when Count Wilhelm Ludwig von Ottweiler (Count of Nassau-Saarbrücken) annexed the Wadgassian possessions in Spiesen . The Wadgassian monks fled to Trier.
In 1634 a 150-year border dispute began with St. Ingbert.
Due to the events of the war (on July 25, 1635 , the imperial war peoples (Croats) pillaged and destroyed the village and church), plague and famine, Spiesen only had one housekeeping and a maximum of four residents in December 1635.
Resettlement was initially destroyed in 1677 by the war bands of Louis XIV of France, who annexed the county of Saarbrücken (and thus also Spiesen) in the wake of his reunification policy . It was not until 1687 that the resettlement could begin again. Also in 1687 Wadgassen regained possession of his goods and rights in Spiesen, but lost to Count Friedrich Ludwig von Nassau-Ottweiler in 1691 before the presidential court in Saarlouis . In the Peace of Rijswijk , France had to give back almost all of its reunions and conquests, including Spiesen. The Catholics of Spiesen belonged to the parish of St. Ingbert from 1705. A border treaty of 1739 between the Counts of Nassau-Ottweiler and the Imperial Counts von der Leyen regulated the demarcation between Spiesen and St. Ingbert. There was a border regulation between Spiesen and St. Ingbert in 1744.
The French Revolution began in 1789 , as a result of which coalition wars broke out from 1792 . In this context, French revolutionary troops marched through Spiesen in 1793. A freedom tree was erected, and the Prince of Nassau-Saarbrücken fled. In 1794 there were fights in and around Spiesen, in which the Prussian general von Blücher initially advanced against the French, but soon had to retreat again. The left bank of the Rhine , and with it Spiesen, was occupied by France and subsequently annexed.
