Since it was founded in the Middle Ages, Körprich and the valley communities of the lower Primstales Bilsdorf , Diefflen and Piesbach have been subordinate to the main town of Nalbach. Körprich's first documentary mention dates back to 1327. The place name derives from the Körprich chapel, which is dedicated to the Archangel Michael . Until the construction of the Dieffler parish church of St. Josef and St. Wendelin in the years 1899–1900, it was the second largest sacred building in the Nalbach valley after the Nalbach parish church of St. Peter and Paul . The Körprich chapel, built on the hillside, which was first mentioned in 1330 in the Taxa generalis subsidiorum cleri Trevirensis , gave the present day Körprich (polished form of "Kirchberg") its name. In the course of history there were repeated complaints from the population that the Körprich chapel community was poorly cared for by the Nalbach pastors (e.g. 1448 and 1691). Legal matters were negotiated and announced every year in front of the portal of the Nalbach church under the court linden tree in the so-called Weistümern .

Early modern age

In 1530 Eisenbarth von Völklingen undertook a raid against Körprich. In the late 16th and early 17th centuries, the place was ravaged by the madness of witches and there were convictions and executions that were carried out on the Nalbacher Galgenberg. In 1611 the choir of the Körprich chapel was rebuilt.

Thirty Years' War

During the Thirty Years' War there was severe devastation in the Nalbach Valley by Swedish, French and Croatian troops. Two thirds of the valley population were killed or had to flee.

Reunion policy

Around 1664, Charles Henri Gaspard de Lenoncourt, Marquis de Blainville, Lord of Dillingen, († 1713), a high Lorraine nobleman and founder of the Dillinger Hütte , became a governor in the Electoral Palatinate Bailiwick of the Nalbacher Valley. In 1681 he organized the so-called reunification of the Nalbach Valley with the Kingdom of France under King Louis XIV. The aim of this reunification policy was that areas of the Holy Roman Empire , which, according to the French view , were legally connected to certain territories under French sovereignty , with France " again should be united." In this way, large parts of today's Saarland and its neighboring areas were incorporated into the French state by 1688 , since the Holy Roman Empire was unable to offer military resistance (not least because of the simultaneous Turkish war ). In 1697, the Holy Roman Empire received the French reunions in Saarland, including the valley towns with Körprich, back through the Peace of Rijswijk .

Emigrations

Due to the poor living conditions in the Nalbach Valley, around 1750 there was a wave of emigration to Hungary, which had been depopulated by the Turkish wars . The emperor's government in Vienna tried to recruit new settlers for the devastated areas in the Hungarian lowlands. With the promise of free arable and building land, building material, seeds and planting material for grain and wine, tax exemption in the first years of settlement, free transport with food and medical care from the collection points to Hungary, people who want to emigrate should be found. The Saar region made up a not inconsiderable part with 5000 emigrants. At that time, the Nalbacher Tal released 96 residents from toddlers to old people. 36 emigrants came from Nalbach, 34 from Piesbach, 20 from Körprich and 6 from Bilsdorf. It is not yet known whether Diefflen provided emigrants. The emigration began around 1750 and continued until after 1780. Main thrusts were in 1751 and 1766.

French Revolution

In 1774 the nave of the Körpricher chapel was rebuilt. After France declared war on Austria in 1792, Austria took up a position in the Nalbach Valley. In the period that followed, there were battles between the Austrians and the French and the valley communities were looted. In 1794, revolutionary France was able to occupy the Nalbach Valley and incorporated Körprich with the other valley communities into its dominion. Since 1798, Körprich and the Nalbach Valley belonged to the Département de la Sarre ( Saardepartement ). With the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte , the Nalbach Valley was no longer part of France as a result of the First Peace of Paris . It was subordinate to an Austrian-Bavarian regional administration commission, which was installed on January 16, 1814 with its seat in Kreuznach . This was intended as a temporary measure, as it had not yet been conclusively clarified to which power the Nalbach Valley was to fall as part of the reclaimed German areas on the left bank of the Rhine. This meant that the eastern ban border of Dillingen and Lenten and the western ban border of Diefflen were also the state border for more than a year.

Transition to the Kingdom of Prussia

After Napoleon's return and his final defeat at Waterloo on June 18, 1815, as well as his exile on the island of St. Helena , Dillingen and leases were also separated from France in the Second Peace of Paris and handed over to the Kingdom of Prussia ( Rhine Province ) with the entire Nalbach Valley .

The entire Nalbach Valley was initially allocated to the Ottweiler district under Prussian administration . On July 1, 1816, it came from the district of Ottweiler to the district of Saarlouis . According to the 1821 census, the Nalbach Valley had 335 houses, 375 households and 1950 inhabitants.

From 1821 to 1829, the Nalbacher Tal was administered by the mayor's office in Fraulautern , as the Nalbacher Tal community, consisting of six villages (founded as a legal form in 1815), could not afford the administrative costs for the mayor's office. All Nalbach valley communities belonged to the joint community. From 1830, the administration of the mayor of the Nalbach Valley passed from Fraulautern to Saarwellingen (personal union) and lasted until December 31, 1899. Nalbach and Saarwellingen formed a dual mayor under the direction of the Mayor of Saarwellingen.

In 1876, the previously existing Korpricher Michaelsmarkt below the chapel was abolished. The chapel was enlarged in 1897/1898.

Until 1877, when a wooden footbridge was built over the Prims, a ferry was used to cross the river a little above today's road bridge. The right side of the Primate was not yet built on and was only used for agriculture. Since the wooden footbridge could not withstand the floods and the ice drift in winter, the ferry service was reintroduced in 1880. The crossing at that time was three pfennigs per person in normal water and five pfennigs in high water.

20th century

Infrastructure and economy

In the years 1899–1901, the Nalbach Valley was connected to the railway network with the construction of the Dillingen / Saar - Primsweiler railway line. This gave Körprich its own stopping point, even though the Nalbach mayor's council had asked for the tracks to be laid on the right-hand side of the Primate. For the communities of the Nalbach valley there was now a Nalbach train station, which, however, was in the Saarwellingen district and a stop in Körprich. The new stop, however, was called Bilsdorf and not Körprich. Tickets could initially only be purchased in a nearby inn, then in a makeshift barracks. The station building was only erected in 1930. With the compulsory municipal merger of Körprich and Bilsdorf in 1935, the station was renamed "Bahnhof Körprich". Passenger transport on the Dillingen-Primsweiler railway line was discontinued by the Deutsche Bundesbahn on June 1, 1980. However, the route will continue to be used for freight traffic.

In 1903 a massive Primsbrücke with five pillars and four arches was built in Körprich. In 1912 the Dillingen-Diefflen-Nalbach tram line was opened (1955 shutdown in favor of buses).

With the construction of the railway in 1901, a larger steam brick was also built in Körprich . The company's production closed in 1966. In the 1980s, the production buildings were blown up with the chimneys.

First World War

In the First World War 20 Körpricher soldiers died.

Saar area

As a result of the Peace Treaty of Versailles , Körprich and the Nalbach Valley as part of the Saar area were placed under the League of Nations from 1920 and did not return to the German Empire until 1935 after the referendum on January 13th.

The connection of Körprich to the electrical power grid took place in the years 1920 to 1923. A separate Körprich parish church was built in 1926. In the same year a central water pipe with house connections was built.

Ballot for the Saar vote in 1935

For the entire municipality of Nalbach with Diefflen, Piesbach, Bildsorf and Körprich, the results of the referendum of January 13, 1935 were as follows:

• Eligible voters: 6,191
• Votes cast: 6,140
• Valid votes: 6,105
• White ballot: 23
• Invalid ballot papers: 12
• Voted for affiliation with the French Republic: 13 (= 0.2%)
• Voted for the status quo: 705 (= 11.6%)
• Votes for the return to the German Reich: 5,387 (= 88.2%)

National Socialism and World War II

According to the result of the referendum of January 13, 1935, Körprich became part of the German Reich again on March 1, 1935. In 1937 the Körprich-Dillingen relief road was built in preparation for the Second World War. It should serve to transport units of the Wehrmacht from the Reich as quickly as possible to the nearby French border. Also in preparation for the war, a section of the western wall was built in the municipality in 1938/1939 . Soldiers and civilian workers from all parts of Germany were quartered in Körprich houses. A fortification wall made of concrete bunkers, hump lines and anti-tank trenches was built from the Hoxberg across the town towards Piesbach and Litermont. On April 1, 1937, under the National Socialist government, Bilsdorf was affiliated to Körprich and was now officially called "Körprich II". The "communal marriage", perceived as a forced union, was dissolved on July 1, 1951.

When the war broke out on September 1, 1939, no eviction order was given for Körprich because it was outside the Red Zone . Only Diefflen was evacuated in the Nalbach Valley .

On December 1, 1944, the administration for Körprich and the other valley communities gave the evacuation order because the western front had reached the district town of Saarlouis . The evacuation to Upper Bavaria , Franconia and the Hunsrück was not followed by numerous Körpricher in the hope of being rolled over by the US troops. In the winter of 1944/1945 American troops came under constant fire and low-flying attacks. To try to stop the American troops, German troops blew up the Körpricher and Nalbacher bridges over the Prims in March 1945. The plan of the Americans to be able to conquer Dillingen and the lower Primstal upstream failed because of the heavy resistance of the Wehrmacht. Saarlouis, Roden, Fraulautern and Dillingen were severely destroyed by fire from Limberg and in house-to-house fighting. The US troops then decided to take the Nalbach Valley from the north and east. Korprich was taken coming from Lebach after the Wehrmacht troops had given up the bunkers and moved into the still unoccupied Reich territory. They had previously blown up the bridge over the Prims and mined the area. On March 19, 1945, all of the valley communities were conquered by US troops and thus liberated from National Socialism . The mining of the Wehrmacht meant that after the armistice, three bodies were torn apart by exploding mines in the spring of 1945. In the second half of 1945, the French replaced the Americans in the occupation of the Nalbach Valley.

107 sons of the village died as soldiers in the fighting during the war. Eight civilians were killed.

Saar state

With the entry into force of the Saarland constitution on December 15, 1947, Körprich became part of the Saar state . The Primsbrücke, which was blown up by the Wehrmacht in the last days of the war, was successively replaced by two wooden emergency bridges. It was not until 1949 to 1950 that a new concrete bridge with a wider carriageway was built.

On October 23, 1954, the agreement between the governments of the Federal Republic of Germany and the French Republic on the Saar Statute was negotiated between the German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and the French Prime Minister Pierre Mendès France . Until the conclusion of a peace treaty with Germany, the agreement provided for the Saarland to be subordinate to a commissioner from the Western European Union . This should represent the country externally. The Saarland government under Prime Minister Johannes Hoffmann (politician, 1890) should, however, continue to be responsible for internal affairs and maintain economic links with France. However, closer economic networking with the Federal Republic was also planned.

Ballot for the referendum on the European Statute for the Saarland on October 23, 1955

In the referendum on the agreement on October 23, 1955 on the European Statute of the Saarland , the Nalbach valley communities voted as follows:

• Nalbach: 569 eligible voters voted yes; 1322 eligible voters voted no.
• Diefflen: 1151 eligible voters voted yes; 1447 eligible voters voted no.
• Piesbach: 392 eligible voters voted yes; 649 eligible voters voted no.
• Bilsdorf: 247 eligible voters voted yes; 293 eligible voters voted no.
• Körprich: 229 eligible voters voted yes; 689 eligible voters voted no.

(The Saarland national average of the no-sayers was 67.7%.) As a result of the negotiations that followed and the Luxembourg Treaty of October 27, 1956, in which France agreed to the reintegration of the Saarland under West German sovereignty , the municipality of Körprich became the first Politically affiliated to the Federal Republic of Germany on January 6, 1957 and economically on July 6, 1959 (“Day X”) .

Mountain slide on the Hoxberg

In the winter of 1965/1966, the Hoxberg began to slide after heavy rainfall . During the slow landslide that lasted several days, 18 houses in the Waldstraße in Körprich were destroyed. The slide area was 500 m long and 4 m deep into the ground. A total of around 200,000 cubic meters of earth was in motion. The forest road disappeared to about 50 m under a two to three meter high layer of mud. Around Christmas 1965, the affected houses had to be evacuated by the building authorities due to the risk of collapse. For safety reasons, the forest road was not released for building again.

Several reasons can be given for the landslide: The Breitenbach strata present here have a slope parallel to the slope on the slope. They can very easily absorb large amounts of water and become slippery in the process. With prolonged, heavy rainfall, they become saturated with water. Up to the time of the landslide, the rock in Körprich had been viewed geologically as the lowest red lying area of the Kusel strata. A new geological survey of the place made on the occasion of the landslide resulted in a new stratigraphic assignment: In addition to the Kusel strata, the Breitenbach strata and the Heusweiler strata, which can be assigned to the uppermost Carboniferous , also appear at Körprich . The Heusweiler layers are the oldest. The Korpricher Michaelskapelle stands on these stable layers. The Heusweiler layers consist of predominantly sandy reddish, brownish, sometimes even purple sediments , which, due to their large pore volume, can absorb large amounts of water without becoming slippery. A stratification fault runs about thirty meters east of the Michael's Chapel. To the east of this, the younger Breitenbach strata come to the surface. They are 40 to 50 meters thick and consist mainly of fine-grained, clayey material. Approximately in the middle of these Breitenbach strata runs a narrow coal-bearing seam 5 to 10 centimeters wide. This seam represents a so-called geological horizon . This is understood to be a rock body that runs as a thin layer and is of particular geoscientific or mining interest. Leading horizons are important points of reference in the geological mapping of an area that otherwise has rocks that are difficult to assign over time.

The clayey, sometimes sandy-clayey Breitenbach strata soak up quickly during heavy rainfall, which increases their weight and the slippery clay mass starts moving down the valley along the layers parallel to the slope. At the eastern end of the village of Körprich, the Kuseler layers begin, which also make up the summit of the Hoxberg. These Kuseler layers are made up of sandstone and conglomerate zones. In the course of history, rubble detached itself from this conglomerate zone and rolled down the slope, mixing it with the Breitenbach and Heusweiler layers. Because of this, the geologists had originally and by mistake mapped Kuseler strata.

When the development of the Körpricher Waldstraße began in 1928, the irregular and wavy surface forms as well as the fresh demolitions and steps on the slope indicated the lack of stability of the site. Despite reinforced foundations and the use of iron masonry brackets in the new buildings, the first cracks appeared as early as the 1930s and a residential building had to be demolished in 1961. But it was not until the landslide of 1965/1966 that the tremendous forces are released by a rock slide.

Place expansion

In the 1960s, the local council pushed ahead with the expansion of the Körprich development on the area to the right of the Prims on Greifelsberg. In the years that followed, a new residential area was built here, which, due to its loan-financed development, was soon popularly nicknamed " Hypo Hill".

Local government reform

On January 1, 1974, Körprich was incorporated into the newly founded municipality of Nalbach.

21st century

Mining damage

The coal mining of Deutsche Steinkohle AG in the Primsmulde coal field ( Saarbergwerke AG's three-site concept since 1988) also resulted in numerous mining-related earthquakes in Körprich . From the Primsmulde Süd area, the company extracted well over half of its coal production in Saarland at the time. It employed around 3,500 miners there.

In 2006, in the course of the planned coal mining, an attempt was made to secure the endangered landslide on the Hoxberg by means of a 400 m long drainage canal and other measures with a total expenditure of 5 million euros.

With the turn of the year 2007/2008 the frequency of the earthquakes increased noticeably. On January 3, 2008, an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.4 on the Richter scale was measured. The vibration speed, which is important for assessing the consequences, was 42.3 millimeters per second. On February 23, 2008, a collapse in the Primsmulde Süd mining field caused the largest earthquake in the history of Saarland. At a depth of 1,500 meters with the epicenter Bilsdorf , the quake reached a magnitude of 4.0. The rock's oscillation speed reached up to 93.5 millimeters per second. According to the police in Saarbrücken , there was property damage to buildings. The quake could be felt in the entire Saarlouis district. The protest movements against coal mining in the Primsmulde, which had been going on for some time, reached their peak immediately afterwards. As a result, on February 23, 2008, the Saarland state government under Prime Minister Peter Müller ordered a mining stop for the Saar mine . Hard coal production in the Saar mine ended on June 30, 2012 and thus after several centuries the hard coal production in Saarland ended.

On September 15, 2014 there was a mining-related earthquake with a magnitude of 2.7 in Primstal, which was also felt as an explosive bang in Körprich. The epicenter was in the area between Saarwellingen and Bilsdorf. However, the RAG rejected allegations that the shock was a result of the rise in pit water. (According to the RAG, the quake was strongest in Saarwellingen with a vibration speed of around 3.6 millimeters per second. The vibration speed at the Primsmulde shaft was 7.5 millimeters per second.) The cause of the quake was in the area of ​​the former Primsmulde mining area located at a depth of about 1400 meters.

politics

Mayor

The mayor of Körprich is Christian Weber.

Local council

After the local elections on June 7, 2009, the following distribution of seats in the local council resulted: The SPD holds the majority with 57.5% (6 seats). It is followed by the CDU with 33.8% (4 seats) and the FDP with 8.7% (1 seat). After that there were no more elections.

coat of arms

The former municipal coat of arms was formed from the five coats of arms of the former territorial lords of Körprich.

• The golden Palatinate lion , turned to the right, crowned, tamed and armored for the Electoral Palatinate
• The coat of arms of the Duchy of Lorraine shows a red diagonal right bar in gold , which is covered with three silver Alérion (mutilated eagles).
• A red zigzag bar in gold, surmounted by a continuous, four-lipped blue tournament collar of the gentlemen from Siersberg-Dillingen
• A red bar cross in silver of the Archbishopric Trier as the center of the Körprich coat of arms
• A red bar in gold, accompanied by nine at the top and six at the bottom by the barons of Hagen zu Motten

The individual coat of arms components are also on a coat of arms on the inside wall of the portal of the Michael Michael Chapel in Körprich.

Cemetery in Körprich

In the Middle Ages, all the dead in the village of Körprich were buried in the Nalbach churchyard . Burials at the Körprich Michaelskapelle took place for the first time in the years 1695 to 1705, when Körprich, which of all Nalbach valley communities was the furthest away from the Nalbacher St. Peter and Paul , was striving for greater church independence from Nalbach. When the Gothic Nalbach church was demolished in 1762 in favor of a new baroque building and the Nalbach churchyard was therefore not verifiable, all the dead in the Nalbach valley were buried in the churchyard of the Körprich chapel for four weeks. Afterwards, however, the Nalbacher Kirchhof was used again until 1867. A plan to bury the dead from Körprich and Bilsdorf in a common cemetery failed in 1866. As a result, the cemetery around the Korprich Michaelskapelle was reopened in Körprich. After the cemetery could not be re-occupied in 1915 due to lack of space, a new cemetery was set up on Lebacher Strasse. Here one was in 1973 mortuary for laying out the dead built, which were laid out in the rooms of the houses to date three days. In 1949 almost all of the graves in the churchyard around the Michael's Chapel were leveled. The historic tombstones were also destroyed.

school

In 1618 Wilhelm Marzloff von Braubach ordered the establishment of a school with a schoolmaster in the Nalbach Valley. In the wake of the reorganization of the French Revolution , schools were set up in all sub-communities in the Nalbach Valley, but these were of a makeshift character compared to today's conditions. With the transition of the Nalbach Valley to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1816, compulsory schooling was officially introduced. In 1818 the first teachers' seminar was set up in Trier and parish school inspectors were appointed. For the mayor's offices on the right bank of the Saar, this was Pastor Matthias Kimmer from Nalbach.

Oral tradition says that at the beginning of the 19th century a former soldier gave lessons in a house below the Korprich Michaelskapelle, for which he received free board and lodging from the residents. His successor was Nikolaus Puhl, resident of Körprich, who completed a course for candidate teachers in Trier in 1816 and had been listed as a teacher in the registry office since 1820.

The community had its first school built on Kapellenstrasse in 1861 (demolished in 2016), in which the Körprich children were taught in one class up to 1892 in return for paying school fees. A second schoolhouse was built in 1906 on Bahnhofstrasse. Teaching continued in both houses until 1956. A modern school building was built in the years 1951–1956 right next to the parish church of St. Michael, so that the two previous school buildings were auctioned off to the public in 1957 and 1960.

Since 1970, classes 7 to 9 have been schooled in the secondary school in Nalbach; since 1972 also grades 5 and 6. Grades 1 to 4 remained as a primary school in Körprich. After the primary school in Bilsdorf was closed in 1976 due to insufficient student numbers, the Bilsdorf children were also taught in the Körprich school. At the end of the 2007/2008 school year, the Körprich primary school was also closed and a newly built central primary school opened for the entire community in Nalbach. The former primary school building in Körprich now houses the Catholic day-care center St. Michael Nalbach-Körprich.

In the stairwell of the Körprich school building, a mural in sgraffito technique (approx. 5 × 2.80 m) by the church painter Arnold Mrziglod (1921–1984), who moved from Upper Silesia in 1958, refers to the patronage of the church and chapel in Körprich. The Archangel Michael is shown with wide wings, lowered flaming sword in his left hand and a soaring red cloak. The flaming sword is designed as a cross from which tongues of flames strike, and refers to Lucifer's fall from hell as described in the Apocalypse of John ( Rev 12 : 7-9  EU ). The right hand of St. Michael points upwards to a cross-shaped radiating heavenly body as a symbol of divine truth. A jagged band in the foreground abstracts the forest of the Körprich Hoxberg . A wing of the archangel extends protectively over the Körprich chapel, first mentioned in 1332, to which the archangel's gaze is turned. The representation stands out in muted brown, green, yellow and black against the white background of the wall surface. The curved and circular shapes of the lines and surfaces make the image appear filigree, powerful and dynamic at the same time.
