Location of Fockenberg-Limbach in Rhineland-Palatinate |
||
Fockenberg-Limbach is a district of the Reichenbach-Steegen community in the Kaiserslautern district ( Rhineland-Palatinate ) with around 200 inhabitants. Until 1976 it was an independent community.
location
The place is located in the North Palatinate Uplands in the southwestern municipality. Structurally, the two suburbs of Fockenberg and Limbach have grown together so that a spatial separation is no longer possible. The Limbach rises on the northeastern edge of the settlement and flows to the northeast and flows into the Reichenbach after a kilometer and a half .
history
The village of Fockenberg was first mentioned in documents in 1393. In the 14th century, both Limpach and Fockenberg were first reported. Limppach and Fockenberg are mentioned together by 1593 at the latest. The double name suggests that there were two independent settlement areas , one of which was located at the source of the Limbach and another on the hill that belonged to an owner named Focco .
Until the end of the 18th century, Fockenberg and Limbach belonged to the Electoral Palatinate . Both places have always had a connection to Reichenbach.
From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Fockenberg and Limbach, which at that time already formed a municipality, were incorporated into the canton of Landstuhl and were subordinate to the Mairie Reichenbach . In 1815 the community had 220 inhabitants. In the same year, Austria was struck. Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . Then the place changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria. From 1818 to 1862 he was a member of the Homburg Land Commissioner ; from this the district office of Homburg emerged.
In the years 1902, 1911, 1920 and 1921, major innovations were made for the village with the construction of the new schoolhouse (today the village community center , "club house"), the water supply and the power supply. Since part of the district office - including Homburg itself - was added to the newly created Saar area in 1920 , Fockenberg-Limbach moved to the newly created district office of Kaiserslautern and was administered by a district office branch located in Landstuhl until 1938 . In 1928 Fockenberg-Limbach had 233 residents who lived in 45 residential buildings. From 1939 the place was part of the district of Kaiserslautern .
After the Second World War , Fockenberg-Limbach became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate , the community was assigned to the newly formed community of Weilerbach . On July 24, 1976, Fockenberg-Limbach was finally incorporated into the 1969 newly formed community of Reichenbach-Steegen (merger of Reichenbach and Reichenbachsteegen ).

Blazon : “In the shield, split by silver and black, there is a gold-armored blue lion in front, behind a red-armored golden lion; both facing each other. " |
| Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms connects the lion of the Counts of Veldenz as former local lords with that of the Dukes of Pfalz-Zweibrücken and the Electors of the Palatinate, at the same time also the heraldic animal in the seal of the Lauterecken school , to which Fockenberg-Limbach belonged in the Reichenbach school. |
