history

Wilhelminian style house

Development up to the 18th century

Hettenleidelheim originally consisted of two places: Hitenheim, later Hettenheim, and Luttelheim, later Leidelheim. Both came under the rule of the Ramsen Monastery in the Middle Ages and after its dissolution in 1485 belonged to the Worms Monastery as temporal property ; there they were subordinate to the Dirmstein office . This is still indicated today by the municipal coat of arms derived from the Worms diocese coat of arms. The communal unification of both places - later trading as Hettenleidelheim - under a common village court was ordered in 1556 by the sovereign, Prince-Bishop Dietrich von Bettendorf .

In Hettenheim there was the St. Stephan chapel, a branch of the parish Eisenberg (Palatinate) , and in Leidelheim the Peterskapelle existed as a branch of Wattenheim ( Worms Synodale 1496). From Eisenberg (lordship of Kirchheim-Stauf) and von Wattenheim (lordship of Leiningen ), Lutheran services were held in the two chapels of the Wormsian exclave from 1569 onwards , but the weakened diocese could not defend itself. When in 1624, during the Thirty Years' War , the Catholic party gained the upper hand, both parishes were first re-parished to the Catholic Neuleiningen . In 1705 the place was raised to an independent Catholic parish.

From 1720 to 1724 a new Catholic parish church was built in the Leidelheim district by adding a baroque nave with a tower to the medieval St. Peter's Chapel. The auxiliary bishop of Worms, Johann Baptist Gegg, consecrated this church, consecrated to St. Peter and St. Hubertus, on August 27, 1724; the next day he traded 1700 people in Hettenleidelheim.

Since the 19th century

From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , the municipality was incorporated into the canton of Grünstadt and was the seat of its own Mairie. In 1815 the place had 560 inhabitants. In the same year it was added to Austria . Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 the community, which during this time was partly run as Hettenheim and Leidelheim , belonged to the Landkommissariat Frankenthal ; from this the district office of Frankenthal emerged. It was not until 1828 that the place name "Hettenleidelheim" was established.

Town hall of the Hettenleidelheim Association, which existed from 1972 to 2017

Since the middle of the 19th century, and increasingly since the years around 1870, the mining and, since 1901, the factory utilization of the local highly refractory clay became the main branch of the economy. This industry came to a standstill after World War II. From 1939 Hettenleidelheim was part of the Frankenthal district (Palatinate) . After the Second World War , the place became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform , the place moved in 1969 to the newly created district of Bad Dürkheim . Three years later, the place was assigned as the administrative seat of the association of the same name . In 2005, Hettenleidelheim celebrated its 850th anniversary. The community has been part of the Leiningerland community since 2018.

religion

Christianity

Around 1400  Catholic and 850  Protestant Christians are represented in the village, each with a parish. Most of the Protestants arrived in the second half of the 20th century. The Catholic parish of St. Peter with a branch in St. Georg, Tiefenthal, now forms a parish community with Wattenheim, Altleiningen including Höningen and now Carlsberg including Hertlingshausen . The Protestant parish is an independent branch of Wattenheim.

Judaism

The old and new cemeteries , which were occupied from the 18th to the 20th century, with some remarkable tombstones , bear witness to the Jewish community that used to exist in the village, for which the synagogue in neighboring Wattenheim was initially responsible . From the middle of the 19th century there was temporarily a synagogue in the village , but it had been abandoned by the turn of the century due to the small number of parishioners.
