Location of Rilchingen-Hanweiler in Saarland |
||
Rilchingen-Hanweiler (actually Hanweiler Bad Rilchingen ) is a district of the Saarland community of Kleinblittersdorf in the Saarbrücken regional association . Until the end of 1973, Rilchingen-Hanweiler was an independent municipality .
geography
The place is on the Upper Saar. The local borders in the southeast, south and west are formed by the rivers Blies and Saar , which are also the state border with France .
The place has a municipal area of 311 ha (of which 20.5 ha of forest, 120 ha of arable land and 25 ha of industrial and commercial space).
history
The area was already settled at the time of the Celts , Romans and Germanic peoples, which is proven by relevant finds. As early as Roman times , a road that crossed the Blies near its mouth led from Strasbourg along the Saar to Trier .
The first document about Hanweiler dates from 1246. In it the affiliation to Wölferdingen is documented, which in turn was owned by the Tholey Abbey . Rilchingen was first documented in 1534. A wisdom of the "Hoffs St. Welfert" lists it by name. In 1661 the von Helmstatt men sold Wölferdingen to the von der Leyen men .
In 1781 Rilchingen and Hanweiler were separated from Wölferdingen. While Wölferdingen and Wustweiler came under French rule through an exchange of territory, Rilchingen and Hanweiler remained in the possession of the Counts von der Leyen, who ruled there until the French Revolution . Thereafter, the Saar-Blies-Zipfel belonged to the French Saar department , from 1815 after the 2nd Paris Peace to the Kingdom of Prussia , through the Versailles Treaty of 1920 it was added to the Saar area , after the referendum of 1935 it belonged to the German Empire, in the years 1945 to 1947 to the French occupation zone, then to the Saarland under the Johannes Hoffmann government and since January 1, 1957 to the federal state of Saarland in the Federal Republic of Germany.
On January 1, 1974, Rilchingen-Hanweiler was incorporated into the community of Kleinblittersdorf.
population
The majority of the population of Rilchingen-Hanweiler is Catholic or Protestant. The Catholic parish church of St. Walfridus was built in 1884 as a successor to the first church from 1800, which is now used as a cemetery chapel. The Evangelical Church of the Redeemer was built in 1934.
Marianne von der Leyen
The development of a salt water spring, the Augusta spring, goes back to the reign of the Counts von der Leyen. Countess Marianne von der Leyen ran a salt water factory for the production of table salt . This consisted of a large graduation tower and brewing pans. The turmoil of the French Revolution put an end to this activity. The destructive rage of the revolutionary troops destroyed the grounds and also a recently completed castle belonging to the Countess. Remnants of walls were found in April 2008 when excavations were carried out at the former railroader's house in connection with measures to drain the basement masonry around the building. The found old masonry and the basement masonry allow the conclusion that the basement of the existing building was largely built using the old masonry of the castle. The castle itself, however, had expanding dimensions to the west and north. There were also layers of plaster on the old masonry. Unfortunately, due to the lack of funds for the preservation of monuments, the remainder of the building remains a secret.
Bad Rilchingen
In 1841 the doctor Kirbs opened a spa using the healing brine . Initially, this company was crowned with success. After his death, however, the bathing business ran into economic difficulties, changed hands several times and was finally stopped entirely.
In 1917 the Order of the Brothers of Mercy from Trier acquired the building complex, renovated it and expanded it in the following period (most recently in 1983) and now offers accommodation and care for the elderly. Until a few years ago, brine was used for bath and inhalation treatment.
Efforts to revive the bathing tradition have been underway since 1988, and in June 1990 a drilling for thermal water was successfully completed.
The Saarland-Therme thermal baths opened on September 2, 2012 .
Infrastructure
Gesundbrunnen Bad Rilchingen GmbH was founded in 1922 to fill up the water from the Augusta spring and sell it. The medicinal water from the Augusta spring was sold until the mid-1950s . In 1935, due to a new mineral water ordinance , a new spring, the Amandus spring , was drilled from which the Rilchinger Sprudel is taken. Since 1988, low-sodium water has been extracted from an additional borehole, the Mariannenquelle . Today the Gesundbrunnen company only fills, the marketing takes place through the Karlsberg brewery .
The school building was built in 1951 for the primary education of the children. The sports and cultural center with a multi-purpose hall, sports facilities, fire brigade base and kindergarten, which was expanded in the 1960s, is the focus of community life.
During the same period, a large number of larger companies settled in a newly developed industrial area.

A large number of clubs carry the local events and offer activities for leisure (in brackets the year of foundation): Angelsportverein (1982), Billardclub (1953), Saar-Wind-Orchester (1952), German Red Cross (1948), Catholic Women's Community ( 1879), volunteer fire brigade (1898), Catholic church choir (1864), fruit and horticultural association (1927), petanque club (1985), sports club (1919), tennis club (1973).
traffic
