geography
Ixheim merged with the core city of Zweibrücken in the 19th and 20th centuries.
history
The first traces of settlement date from Roman times , finds are kept in the city museum of Zweibrücken. The place name on " -heim " belongs to a place name type that was often chosen at the beginning of the early Middle Ages . The written tradition begins in the 11th century. Ixheim appears as Hukinesheim in 1026 . A confirmation of ownership from the Imperial Abbey of St. Maximin , dated back to the year 962, is false. Ixheim always had the same country as Zweibrücken.
In 1289 it was first mentioned as a parish. Until 1448 this church was also responsible for the citizens of Zweibrücken. In the 16th century Ixheim was the seat of a mayor's shop for the surrounding villages. During the reign of Duke Karl II August , the Ixheim grain mill was converted into a bone mill and the feed for the pack of dogs at Karlsberg Castle was produced here.
The Birkhausen Stud is located on the site of a Berghausen village that died before 1564 . In 1756 a ducal zoo was laid out there, from which an offshoot of the Zweibrücker State Stud developed. In 1960 the facility was transferred to the German Trakehner Association as part of the reorganization of the state stud farm . It has now been privatized and a popular destination with a beer garden. The former "outdoor cat house Birkhausen" the JVA Two Bridges was now to " detention center Two Bridges / Birkhausen" 70 detention centers for detainees redesigned.
The last Amish community in Germany was located in Ixheim . In 1937, this joined the Mennonite community in Zweibrücken, which still exists today .
Economy and Transport
In 1843, the Roth, Heck & Schwinn wire and nail factory was founded on the Hornbach , which still exists today and at times maintained worldwide supply relationships for special wires. The company has been part of the WDI from Hamm since 2002 .
Ixheim has a motorway connection to the A 8 and is crossed in a north-south direction by the former B 424 , which is called Bitscher Strasse in Ixheim , a road connection from the Zweibrücken area to neighboring Lorraine . From 1913 to 1996 Ixheim also owned a train station on the Hornbachbahn, which has now been closed .
Leisure and Tourism
Ixheim is the starting point of the European Mill Cycle Path , which leads on the former railway line to Hornbach , on via Schweyen to Volmunster and then through the Bickenalbtal back to Ixheim.
