Landscape near Ilbesheim

Ilbesheim is a municipality in the Donnersbergkreis in Rhineland-Palatinate . It belongs to the Kirchheimbolanden community .

geography

Ilbesheim lies in the southern part of the Alzeyer hill country on the so-called "Ilbesheimer Lösschwelle". The municipal area is used for agriculture to about 90 percent and has extremely low 0.3 percent forest cover.

Former Morschheim Station ( Thunder Mountain Railway ) is partly on the district of Ilbesheim.

history

Ilbesheim was first mentioned in a document in the 8th century. However, graves were found that date back to the La Tène period . The now Protestant village church has a Romanesque tower, which is dated to the era around 1100.

The village came early as an exclave to the County of Falkenstein . At first these ruled the Lords of Bolanden , who were inherited in 1418 by the Counts of Virneburg .

The County of Falkenstein and with it the village of Ilbesheim passed to the Duke of Lorraine in 1667 through various owners . Through the marriage of the Lorraine Duke Franz Stephan with Maria Theresa von Habsburg , Ilbesheim came to Austria and was subordinate to the Oberamt Winnweiler of the imperial part of front Austria . The responsible bailiff resided in Winnweiler .

In 1756 Protestant residents of Ilbesheim complained to the emperor in Vienna about the introduction of a right of joint use ( Simultaneum ) of their church for Catholics. For this purpose, parish deputies were sent to Vienna twice , about which Emperor Franz I was alienated in his written answer of July 28, 1756, because “ the last deputated here from Ilbesheim parishioners, who, according to all reputations, are only concerned with increasing the number of people who were attracted by the parish Daily allowances may be, already in the 2nd month after receiving information there are uselessly staying ”.

On June 11, 1758, a Corpus Christi procession took place in Ilbesheim for the first time since the Reformation . The complaint sent by the Protestant community to the emperor paints an interesting and colorful picture of the baroque country festivities. She reports that in the current year, namely on June 11th , the Catholics had such a public procession set up in loco (= at the place), and also had Catholic co-religionists for 5 hours, as well as those neighboring, especially the neighboring municipality of Stetten in the Palatinate region , with flags, singing and sound, also with a line-up of assembled and appointed foreign peasants armed with rifles, order in such a way ... that under this act the venerable Guth publice (= public) by the ... Catholic priest circumgested (= shown around), read public masses in different places in the place, gave benedictiones (= blessings), and with such spiritual actibus (= actions) each time a fire was given by the raised peasant command ” .

In fact, the church in Ilbesheim, built in 1790 - like many other churches in the Palatinate - was fitted with a partition so that it could be used by both the Protestant and the Catholic community. The partition was only removed in 1968.

After 1792 French revolutionary troops occupied the region and annexed it after the Peace of Campo Formio (1797) . From 1798 to 1814 the village belonged to the French department of Donnersberg and was assigned to the canton of Kirchheim .

Due to the agreements reached at the Congress of Vienna (1815) and an exchange contract with Austria , the region became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816 . From 1818 the community of Ilbesheim was assigned to the Kirchheim regional commissioner in the Bavarian Rhine District, later to the Kirchheimbolanden district office, from which the Kirchheimbolanden district emerged in 1938 . Since 1946 Ilbesheim has belonged to the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate .

To distinguish it from Ilbesheim near Landau in the Palatinate , the place received the additional designation Ilbesheim auf dem Gleichen .
