geography

history

The place name on "-weiler" belongs to a place name type that was often chosen in the early Middle Ages . The written tradition begins in the 10th century.

In 982, Emperor Otto II confirmed a donation from the Count's son Conrad, who had fallen in battle, to the Gorze Abbey , including his estate in Ernustesvuilere . In 1009 King Henry II camped with his army in the Vicus Ernestvilláre on his way towards Metz . The parish, first mentioned in 1263, was incorporated into Wörschweiler Monastery in 1310 .

In 1385 the truce extended around Zweibrücken to "towards Bubenhusen an daz dorff and from Bubenhusen towards Ernswilr". In 1547, Count Palatine Wolfgang decided that the bannes of the city of Zweibrücken and the two villages of Bubenhausen and Ernstweiler should form a communal area with communal use for all times. The subjects of the two villages remained subordinate to the mayor's office in Ixheim , while the citizens of the city continued to be city citizens. Bubenhausen was parish after Ernstweiler, the two places always belonged to the same country as Zweibrücken.

Duke Christian IV had a large cellar built in Ernstweiler between 1749 and 1754, the construction of which cost 46,000 guilders and which Goethe describes in his memoirs. Spanish prisoners of war were housed in the two-aisled underground vault from April 1812 to April 1813 during the Napoleonic Wars . Badly damaged by the war in 1945, the remains were acquired by Demag and demolished in the 1970s . Industrial jobs have been created since the mid-19th century. With the separation of the Saar area in 1920 and the establishment of the customs border at Kaplaneihof in 1925, Bubenhausen and Ernstweiler came into a border situation.

In 1926 Bubenhausen and Ernstweiler were incorporated into Zweibrücken and have been districts of Zweibrücken ever since.
