history

In the period between 1060 and 1090, a manorial court with the name Klingen is mentioned for the first time in an inventory of the Weißenburg monastery . A certain mention of the place name is in a papal document from 1179. Originally free from the empire , the place was temporarily under the imperial bailiwick of Speyergaus , it was repeatedly pledged to the Counts of Leiningen . In 1361, Count Palatine Ruprecht I released the pledge. Until the end of the 18th century, Klingen belonged to the Electoral Palatinate and was assigned to the Oberamt Germersheim .

After the beginning of the French Revolution (1789), the residents of Klingen, together with around 30 surrounding communities, sought to join France. By a decree of the National Convention of March 14, 1793, these, including Klingen, were annexed to France .

Klingen was part of the French Republic until 1804 , then part of the Napoleonic Empire until 1815 , and incorporated into the canton of Bergzabern in the department of the Lower Rhine . In 1816 the place changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 he was a member of the Bergzabern Land Commissioner ; The Bergzabern district office emerged from this . In 1928, Klingen had 356 residents who lived in 80 residential buildings. The Catholics belonged to the parish of Ingenheim at that time, while the Protestants belonged to that of Heuchelheim . From 1938 the place was part of the Bergzabern district . After the Second World War , Klingen became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate, Klingen was merged on June 7, 1969 with the neighboring community of Heuchelheim to form the new local community of Heuchelheim-Klingen . At the same time, the place moved to the newly created Landau-Bad Bergzabern district, which has been called the Südliche Weinstrasse district since 1978 .
