history

The local community Heimweiler was created on June 7, 1969 through the merger of the two communities Heimberg and Krebsweiler.

Finds from an early Roman cremation grave near Krebsweiler and prehistoric burial mounds in the Heimberg district indicate an early settlement of the districts of both villages. As with most places in the district, Heimberg and Krebsweiler were also founded during the period of "development of the younger settlement area" (7th to 12th centuries). The place names are interpreted differently. In Heimberg, the defining word “Heim” corresponds to the name forms “Heym”, “Heien”, “Hen”, “Hahn”, “Haan” etc. and goes back to the ahd . "Hagan" (= "hagen") in the meaning of forest (Hag = forest). Since in the Franconian settlement development the place names were closely related to personal or family names, the interpretation "Berg (clearing mountain / castle) of Hano (Hein, Hagen, Henn, Heinrich etc.)" seems possible for Heimberg. In Krebsweiler, too, the defining word “cancer” (documented in 1375 “Krebeswilre”) seems to go back to a person or surname and could be interpreted as “Hofgut des Krebes” (Grebe, Greber, Krebs etc.). In the Hessian area, the "Grebe" was the village mayor or mayor. In the region, the old name " Heimberger " or "Heymbürge" had the same meaning.

Both villages appear in a document in 1375 as "Krebeswilre" and "Heymberch". Both villages belonged to the Amt Naumburg (seat of Burg Naumburg near Bärenbach ) in the front county of Sponheim until the end of the 18th century . Both settlements formed a special “in-court” in the “Becherbach court”. This medieval judicial and administrative district, which was identical to the parish of Becherbach , was probably under the administration of the Raugräf in the high Middle Ages , which passed to the Counts of Sponheim-Kreuznach from the 14th century . After their extinction, Amt Naumburg came under the administration of the Electoral Palatinate of Baden until the office fell entirely to the Margraves of Baden in 1776 .

In the late Middle Ages, the Lords of Heinzenberg had legal shares in the medieval “Ingericht” of Krebsweiler and Heimberg , which Tilmann von Heinzenberg sold in 1375 to the wild count Otto von Kyrburg. Economically, the residents of Heimberg and Krebsweiler tended to Kirn , where the so-called “Zollhafer” was still paid to the Lords of Steinkallenfels in 1579 for the supply of the local market .

According to a description by the Naumburg Office from 1785, there were 30 houses in Krebsweiler, in which a total of 32 families lived. The houses are "small and bad, although the place is wealthy," it says in the official description. Krebsweiler was the main wine village in Amt Naumburg, where up to 40 loads of wine (approx. 400 hl) were harvested annually. The most beautiful house is said to have been the "Barth'sche Haus". Heimberg only had 16 one-story houses with as many families. Most of the population of the two villages was Protestant Reformed.

In 1794 the Left Bank of the Rhine was occupied during the First Coalition War , and in 1798 the area was reorganized by the French directorate based on the French model. The communities Heimberg and Krebsweiler were assigned to the Mairie Hundsbach in the canton of Meisenheim , which belonged to the arrondissement of Birkenfeld in the Saardépartement .

The two villages remained there until the end of French rule (1814) and, as a result of the resolutions made at the Congress of Vienna, were first part of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 and then to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Homburg in 1816 . Under their administration, the two communities belonged to the "Oberschultheißerei Becherbach" in the upper office of Meisenheim . The Oberamt Meisenheim came in 1866 in Prussia , the 1869 from the chief official of the county Meisenheim in Koblenz in the Rhine province was formed. At the Becherbach office, which became part of the Kreuznach district in 1932 , both communities remained until 1940. After this office was dissolved, Heimberg and Krebsweiler came to the Kirn-Land office , where they remained as independent local communities until 1968. After it merged to form the Heimweiler community, it became part of the Kirn-Land community .

The community of Heimweiler supplies several communities in the neighborhood with water from its source area. The communities of Krebsweiler and Heimberg had their own coats of arms until they were dissolved on June 7, 1969. The council of the newly formed community Heimweiler decided on August 15, 1969 to continue the previous coat of arms of the community Krebsweiler. The draft submitted by the graphic artist Brust, Kirnsulzbach, was accepted by the municipal council on April 11, 1966 and approved by the Ministry of the Interior in Mainz on July 1, 1966. The Ministry of the community of Heimweiler issued the approval for the continuation of the coat of arms on October 3, 1969.
