Homburg, located in the east of the Saarland, borders on the foothills of the Palatinate Forest . The western districts of Beeden , Schwarzenbach , Wörschweiler , Schwarzenacker , Einöd and Ingweiler are located in or on the valley of the Blies . The sometimes used suffix “(Saar)” (also: “Homburg / Saar”) is a relic from the time when there were no postcodes and not an official part of the city name. It does not mean that Homburg is located on the Saar river , but is a short name for the Saar area or from 1935 for the Saarland . Until the founding of the Saar area, the common name was Homburg (Palatinate). The north-western parts of the urban area lie in the large West Palatinate moorland , which extends over 40 kilometers from Schwarzenbach to Kaiserslautern . The central part of Homburg belongs to the Homburg Basin natural area , the northern part to the Jägersburger Moor - both sub-units of the St. Ingbert-Kaiserslauter Valley .

history
The first settlements existed as early as Roman times in what is now the district of Schwarzenacker as an important station on two intersecting highways (Metz - Mainz and Trier - Strasbourg). In the same place there was also a settlement of the Mediomatriker . However, this reading is controversial today, especially after coin finds in the area.
In the 12th century Hohenburg was the seat of the Counts of Homburg. In 1330 they received city rights from Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian for their city at the foot of the Schlossberg, making it the second oldest city in Saarland after Saarbrücken, which received city rights nine years earlier (1321). After the death of the last Count of Homburg in 1449, the castle and town fell to the Counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken . In the second half of the 16th century they converted the castle into a renaissance castle .
During the reunification period , the French King Louis XIV had his fortress builder Vauban expand the castle and town into a strong fortress between 1679 and 1692. The basic structure of the old town dates from this time. The fortifications were finally razed in 1697 and after a reconstruction from 1705 in 1714 . From 1981 the impressive ruins on the Schlossberg were uncovered and restored. Today they are a sight on the Baroque Street Saar-Palatinate .
In 1755 Homburg came from the county of Nassau-Saarbrücken to the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken by swapping territory . Between 1778 and 1788, Duke Karl II August von Pfalz-Zweibrücken had Karlsberg Castle (hist. Spelling Carlsberg) built on Buchenberg (today's Karlsberg) near Homburg . In 1779 he moved his residence to the Karlsberg. On July 28, 1793, this castle was destroyed by French revolutionary troops.
As a result, Homburg was occupied by French troops as part of the Left Bank of the Rhine . In the Peace of Campo Formio (1797), Emperor Franz II provisionally recognized the Rhine as the future border between France and the German Empire in a secret treaty . The assignment under international law took place in the Peace of Lunéville (1801). Independently of this, the area was annexed by France and administratively incorporated into the French state in 1798.
After the regional division, which was reorganized according to the French model, Homburg became the capital of the canton of the same name in the arrondissement (sub-prefecture) of Zweibrücken in the Donnersberg department (Département du Mont-Tonnerre).
In 1816 Homburg fell to the Rhine District under the Bavarian King Maximilian I Joseph , the younger brother of Duke Karl II August.
After the districts were subdivided into land commissariats (1818), Homburg became the capital of the land commissariat of the same name . Since the cantons of the French territorial division remained in the Palatinate until 1852, Homburg was still a canton town of the canton Homburg .
At the end of 1831, the journalist and editor of the liberal-democratic newspaper Deutsche Tribüne Johann Georg August Wirth (1798–1848) moved from Munich to Homburg at the invitation of the former Homburg commissioner Philipp Jakob Siebenpfeiffer (1789–1845) , as there was a freer spirit there . The region around Homburg and the neighboring Zweibrücken was able to develop into a center of the democratic movement after the Congress of Vienna , since the Kingdom of Bavaria left the Rhine District its freedom rights introduced by the French Revolution of 1789, so u. a. also benefit from tax laws that are advantageous for the state. Wirth and Siebenpfeiffer were the initiators of the Hambach Festival ; the "Freedom Fountain" in Homburg has been a reminder of this since 1992.
In 1849 the Ludwigshafen-Homburg (1848) -Bexbach (Ludwigsbahn) railway line was completed.
Due to the territorial provisions of the Versailles Treaty (1919), Homburg belonged to the Saar area from 1920 to 1935 , which was placed under French administration for 15 years with a mandate from the League of Nations .
During the Second World War , Homburg suffered severe damage from air raids in 1944/45 . In March 1945 one of the few refineries for the production of synthetic fuels was still operating in Homburg; In addition, there were a relatively large number of German troops around the Western Wall . The Western Allies fought their way to reach the Rhine.
On March 14, 1945, the Royal Air Force (RAF) and United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) carried out the heaviest air raid on Homburg. 220 people died. The Schlossberg caves served as an air raid shelter. After the conquest of Homburg there was looting.
After the war, the city of Homburg was initially in the French occupation zone ; from 1946 to the end of 1956 it became part of the Saar Protectorate .
On March 8, 1947, under the patronage of the University of Nancy, an Institut d'Études Supérieures de Hombourg was opened, from which in 1948 the Saarland University emerged . Today the Medical Faculty and the University Hospital of Saarland University are located in Homburg .
In 1978 the old town and inner city renewal began with the creation of pedestrian zones, squares and fountains.
Incorporations
In 1913 the previously independent municipality of Beeden-Schwarzenbach was incorporated. On April 1, 1936, the municipality of Erbach-Reiskirchen was added, and on April 1, 1938, the municipality of Bruchhof-Sanddorf. In the course of the regional and administrative reform , the communities Einöd, Jägersburg, Kirrberg and Wörschweiler were incorporated on January 1, 1974.

There is no fixed coalition in the Homburg city council, but mainly a factual cooperation between the parliamentary groups.
* After the local elections in 2009 the Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen parliamentary group originally had 3 seats. On December 14, 2011, a member of the Green parliamentary group announced that he had left the parliamentary group and has now joined the CDU parliamentary group. Since then, the Christian Democrats have had 19 seats.
** In October 2018, both members of the Alliance of Reason joined the CDU. Since then, the CDU had 19 members and was just as strong as the SPD.
*** In the summer of 2015, a member of the AfD left the party and parliamentary group and continued to be an independent member of the council. Thus, the AfD only had one mandate. In 2018 the resigned member gave back his mandate, so the AfD had two seats again.
Lord Mayor
Homburg has had a lord mayor since the administrative reform of 1974, previously a mayor. The elections have been direct elections since 1996 , before the city council elected the mayor.
The election with a turnout of 54 percent took place on May 25, 2014 and led to the following result, in which none of the four candidates achieved the required absolute majority:
- Rüdiger Schneidewind (SPD): 42.2%
- Peter Fuchs (CDU): 31.8%
- Marc Piazolo (non-party "Alliance of Reason", supported by the Greens): 17.8%
- Barbara Spaniol (left): 7.8%
In the runoff election on June 8, 2014 with a turnout of 41.6 percent (13,886 valid votes), Rüdiger Schneidewind emerged as the winner with 55.6 percent (7,721 votes) against Peter Fuchs 44.4% (6,165 votes).
Rüdiger Schneidewind (SPD) has been Lord Mayor of Homburg since October 1, 2014. He has been suspended from his office since March 2019 due to a conviction for infidelity in office to a suspended sentence of 15 months by the Saarbrücken regional court . Until further notice, he will be represented by Mayor Michael Forster (CDU).
coat of arms
The first seal (proof of 1699) comes from the time of the French occupation since 1680. As a coat of arms it shows a tree on the ground under the shield head with three Bourbon lilies ; From this time there is also a relief plate with the tree alone. In the town court seal dated 1700 - now under Nassau rule - there is a tree with roots in a crowned shield held by two lions.
The tree is probably rightly regarded as a tree of life and a symbol of the redesign of Homburg since 1680. As a deciduous tree, it appears when the coat of arms was approved by King Ludwig of Bavaria on August 3, 1842 .
Today's stylized tree goes back to the portrayal of Otto Hupp from 1937; a new award was not necessary.
Hupp initially left the question unanswered as to whether the tree should represent a beech or a linden tree , but then decided on a linden tree, as it was said that Homburg used to have the addition "near the linden tree".
Immediately after the merger of the city of Homburg with the former communities Einöd , Jägersburg , Kirrberg , Wörschweiler on January 1, 1974, the council of the new regional authority decided on January 18, 1974 to apply for the traditional coat of arms to be re-awarded.
On October 11, 1974, approval was finally given by the Ministry of the Interior in Saarbrücken.
The coat of arms is described as follows: "In silver on a green hill, a green linden tree with twenty-one leaves."
City and community partnerships
Homburg has partnerships between cities and municipalities with the French La Baule-Escoublac (since 1984), with the Thuringian Ilmenau (since 1989) and with the Italian Albano Laziale (since 2018).
Parties
There are city and local associations of the CDU, SPD, FWG, FDP, Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen , the Left , the Family Party and the AfD .
Economy and Infrastructure
Homburg is the location of many companies with a national and international reputation, e.g. B. Tire industry, automotive suppliers, metal production, beer brewery. With only 42,000 inhabitants, the city offers 32,000 jobs subject to social security contributions. In terms of job density, Homburg ranks 11th nationwide.
traffic
Homburg is connected to the national road network by the federal motorways 6 ( Saarbrücken - Waidhaus ) and 8 ( Perl (Mosel) - Bad Reichenhall ) as well as the federal highway 423 (from the German-French border at Mandelbachtal - Altenglan ).
The Hauptbahnhof Homburg (Saarland) was until 2007 system support for ICE trains to Frankfurt , Dresden and northern Germany and EC / IC trains to Paris , Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Salzburg . With the introduction of the continuous ICE traffic Frankfurt-Paris, Homburg lost all ICE stops except for the connection to Dresden and Stuttgart; Protests from travelers were the result.
A well-developed regional rail transport (SPNV) connects Homburg with Kaiserslautern ( Palatinate Ludwigsbahn ), Saarbrücken (also Palatinate Ludwigsbahn) and Trier ( Saar line ) as well as Neunkirchen and Illingen (Palatinate Ludwigsbahn / Fischbachtalbahn / Primstalbahn ). The RheinNeckar S-Bahn connects Homburg with the regional centers of Kaiserslautern, Ludwigshafen am Rhein , Mannheim , Heidelberg and Karlsruhe . So far, the city of Homburg has not had to pay anything for the S-Bahn.
In addition to the SaarVV tariff, the “West Palatinate / Eastern Saarland transition tariff” applies in Homburg. The tariff of the adjacent Rhein-Neckar transport association is only valid for transit. Homburg joining the VRN would cost the city around € 200,000 a year.
The Glantalbahn to Bad Münster and the Homburg – Zweibrücken railway have since been shut down . Einöd owned a train station on the Landau – Rohrbach railway line , which was closed in the 1980s, and was given a stop there again in 2009. Beeden and Schwarzenacker each had a stop on the line to Zweibrücken, Jägersburg had a train station on the Glantalbahn. From 1866 the Schwarzenacker station was a railway junction when the Würzbachbahn to Hassel opened and a year later to St. Ingbert .

Neukrickenbach
The residential area in the triangle between the railway line to Saarbrücken, Bexbacher Straße and Saarbrücker Straße bears the unofficial name Neukrickenbach (local: Neikriggebach ) among the people of Homburg . It was created in 1922 by the settlement of railway workers (see railway settlement ), who mainly came from Krickenbach (near Kaiserslautern ). With the onset of building construction around 1928, the quarter was opened up. The streets of the district were named after musicians, probably because the residents maintained the musical tradition from their hometown.
