Grevenhausen is a former municipality, which was independent until 1839 and which became part of today's city of Lambrecht (Palatinate) in the 19th century .

location

Grevenhausen was in the northern part of the city in the Middle Palatinate Forest ; the largest part north of the Speyerbach and north of the Mannheim – Saarbrücken railway line formed the boundary of the former municipality, with the exception of the building for the administration of the Lambrecht community . The Karl-Rauch-Siedlung , the Luhrbach and the catchment areas of the Eichelberg and the Kreuzberg belonged to the district of Grevenhausen within today's city of Lambrecht . To the south of the railway line and the Speyerbach, the Schorlenberg also belonged to Grevenhausen and a large part of the route of the Kuckucksbähnel . Structurally, the former place has now grown together with the former St. Lambrecht , so that a spatial separation is no longer possible.

history

In 977 Grevenhausen was donated by Duke Otto von Worms to the Benedictine monastery of St. Lambrecht south of the settlement area. After its abandonment in the early modern period, it served as an asylum for Walloons and was raised to the status of a separate community of St. Lambrecht . Until the end of the 18th century, Grevenhausen belonged to the Speyer Monastery , within which it was temporarily subordinate to the Deidesheim office and later - around 1765 - to the Kirrweiler Oberamt . Initially, the Speyerbach formed the boundary between Grevenhausen and St. Lambrecht, but the Electoral Palatinate , to which St. Lambrecht belonged and which relied on historical rights, managed to move them north to the disadvantage of Grevenhausen. The fact that St. Lambrecht was Protestant as part of the Electoral Palatinate, while Grevenhausen remained Catholic as part of the bishopric, further heated up the tension between the two villages. Another point of conflict was the use of the Speyerbach and the nearby Luhrbach. At the beginning of the 18th century, the residents of St. Lambrecht had diverted the Luhrbach through their meadows, which the Grevenhausen residents reversed a short time later; the St. Lambrecht responded to this in turn by destroying gardens of the Grevenhausen family. In 1753 the establishment of an inn on site led to a nine-day armed conflict between the Electoral Palatinate and the Hochstift. During this time Grevenhausen had a total of 38 inhabitants, including 23 Catholics and 15 Reformed.

The spellings of the place varied between Graevenhausen , Graefenhausen and Grevenhausen . From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Graefenhausen - as the place was spelled at the time - was incorporated into the canton of Neustadt (Donnersberg) and was subordinate to Mairie Lambrecht . In 1815 the place had 340 inhabitants. In the same year, Austria was struck. Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 the place was part of the Landkommissariat Neustadt . On June 27, 1839, Grevenhausen was merged with the neighboring town of St. Lambrecht to form the municipality of St. Lambrecht-Grevenhausen ; In 1887 the name was shortened to Lambrecht . Grevenhausen is no longer perceived as an independent settlement.
