history
Iggelheim was probably founded in the 7th century, the first reliable mention comes from a document of the Weissenburg monastery in the form "Uelteheim" in the year 991. The name changed from Ugelnheim to Ygelnheim to the current form used since the 19th century. Around the year 1100, together with Böhl and Haßloch , a status as an imperial village is tangible. Ludwig the Bavarian pledged the imperial property (referred to as "care") in 1330 to the Electoral Palatinate . Iggelheim belonged to the Electoral Palatinate until the French Revolution , but in 1379 the place was mortgaged by the Count Palatinate to the Count of Leiningen . During the Thirty Years' War Iggelheim was plundered several times by passing mercenary armies (Spaniards, Swedes) and partly burned down.
From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Iggelheim was incorporated into the canton of Mutterstadt and had its own Mairie . In 1815 the place had a total of 1,300 inhabitants. In the same year, Austria was struck. Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 he was a member of the Landkommissariat Speyer ; from this the district office of Speyer emerged. From 1886 Iggelheim was part of the newly created district office of Ludwigshafen .
In 1928 Iggelheim had 2954 inhabitants who lived in 530 residential buildings. Since 1939 the place has been part of the Ludwigshafen am Rhein district , which has been called Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis since 2004 . After the Second World War , Iggelheim became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . As part of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate , Iggelheim was merged with the neighboring municipality of Böhl on June 7, 1969 to form the new local municipality of Böhl-Iggelheim .
