Großwinternheim (old spelling Groß-Winternheim, colloquially "GW") is a district of the district town of Ingelheim am Rhein in the district of Mainz-Bingen in Rhineland-Palatinate . The place was part of the Ingelheimer Grund in the Middle Ages and, like Ober-Ingelheim, was the residence of many nobles who were once servants of the Imperial Palatinate in Nieder-Ingelheim . The formerly independent municipality was incorporated into Ingelheim during a regional reform in 1972 .

geography

The district is located in the southern urban area of ​​Ingelheim on the western slope of the Mainz Mountain in the so-called Selztal, about two kilometers south of the Ober-Ingelheim district. The height is 120- 160  u m. NHN . The Selz flows through the district on the western outskirts . Further west, Großwinternheim hugs the Westerberg . The place is surrounded by vineyards.

Schwabenheim an der Selz and Bubenheim border the district in the south . To the east on the Mainzer Berg lies the Ingelheim district of Wackernheim . In the north are the Ingelheim districts of Ober-Ingelheim and Nieder-Ingelheim . Großwinternheim has not grown together with the rest of the city, so Großwinternheim has been able to maintain its village character to this day.

geology

The local area is poorly forested, only individual areas on the Westerberg (Winternheimer Wäldchen) and Mainzer Berg are lightly forested. The landscape is characterized by viticulture and fruit growing. The Selz and a nameless stream from the Mainzer Berg are the only bodies of water in the place.

Land use

The district covers 591.6 hectares, of which 224 hectares are used for arable farming and 91 hectares for viticulture. 18 hectares include meadows. The building share is 5 ha and the traffic area 16.6 ha. The natural share with forest is 37 ha and 18 ha of grassland.

history

In the Germanic times the local area was a large winter camp for many tribes; this is how the later settlement got its name, the addition of which Groß later served to distinguish it from Klein-Winternheim . Cremation graves and villae rusticae are documented in the area from the Roman period. The place was founded as a Franconian settlement in the 6th century and was first mentioned in 937 as Villa seu marca Winternheim ex fisco nostro Ingelisheim .

Around 900 the construction of the still preserved watchtower and defense tower began, which today still serves as the steeple of the Catholic Church. In the early Middle Ages it was part of the property of the Ingelheim imperial palace .

The Obentrautsche Hof

Großwinternheim was an imperial village of the Ingelheimer Grund and was fortified with a city ​​wall and moat in the early 14th century , remnants of the wall are still there today. Parts of the old city wall can still be seen in old houses.

After Gottfried von Eppstein had been enfeoffed with the village, it had Rheingraf Wernher as a fief in 1257. In the years 1314 to 1366 the village was pledged to the Mainz ore monastery, which also acquired a farm here in 1324. As part of the Ingelheimer Grund, it became part of the Electoral Palatinate in 1375 after pledging in the 14th century. Every third lay judge at the Ingelheim Oberhof came from Großwinternheim.

More and more noble families settled in the village and built stately farms in the village. The noble families Flach von Schwarzenburg, Knebel von Katzenelnbogen and Obentraut were imperial schools from the 15th to the beginning of the 17th century. In 1666 the plague raged in Großwinternheim, and a large part of the population died.

In the early 18th century the Obentrautsche property went to the Speyer cathedral chapter. On June 29, 1730, a storm triggered a flood from the Mainz mountain on the town. 6 houses were destroyed and 16 people died. The village stream was torn into a flood ditch.

By allegedly kneeling before the French General Dessaire, the Baroness Christiane Eleonore von Wallbrunn , née. Reichsfreiin von Hopfer, not only saved Partenheim, but also Großwinternheim from pillage and pillage by the French troops during the sieges at the end of the 18th century. Industrialization in the middle of the 19th century largely passed Großwinternheim by. From 1816 Großwinternheim was part of the Grand Duchy of Hesse and remained so after it was converted to the Federal State of 1871 and the People's State of Hesse from 1919 to 1945. In 1904 the station for the Frei-Weinheim – Jugenheim-Partenheim railway was opened, but the line was already in use for passenger traffic decommissioned in the 1950s.

The place lost its independence on April 22, 1972 and was incorporated into the city of Ingelheim am Rhein and has since been known as Großwinternheim. Due to the incorporation contract, Großwinternheim has a local advisory board and a local mayor. In 1999, the city of Ingelheim decided to dissolve the Großwinternheim district in order to abolish the mayor and the local advisory board because the Rhineland-Palatinate municipal code (GemO) declares the contractual obligations for the formation of local districts in Section 74 (4) GemO to be ineffective. On the basis of a sample case that the lawyer Elmar König led on behalf of the local advisory board at the Higher Administrative Court of Rhineland-Palatinate in Koblenz, the decision was declared ineffective despite the provision in the municipal code. For the time being, the Großwinternheim residents will retain the local council and mayor institutions.

The abandonment of the fortifications in 1807 cleared the way for a local expansion towards Schwabenheim and down to the Selz. This also increased the population in the course of the 19th century. This trend is being continued by a new development area on the northern outskirts, which was completed in 2010.

religion

A pastor was first mentioned in Großwinternheim in 1297.

The suffix "large"

The addition to the name served to distinguish it from Klein-Winternheim bei Nieder-Olm and was used as early as the early 15th century.
