Koblenz-Immendorf is a high - altitude district on the right bank of the Rhine in the city of Koblenz on the Middle Rhine in Rhineland-Palatinate .

Reorganization

The district emerged from the independent municipality of Immendorf , which merged on June 7, 1969 with the neighboring town of Arenberg to form the municipality of Arenberg-Immendorf . By order of the Rhineland-Palatinate state government on April 20, 1970, the municipality of Arenberg-Immendorf was incorporated into the city of Koblenz on November 7, 1970 (as the districts of Koblenz-Arenberg and Koblenz-Immendorf ).

So far, no statements can be made about the age of Immendorf based on soil or other finds. Rather leave from the name of bees village of drag today Koblenz district conclusions about its origin. The ending village is often found in places in the Middle Rhine region and refers to the formation and incorporation into the Franconian state association up to the 6th century AD.

The Franconian Empire was divided into Gaue. Immendorf belongs to the Engersgau , which stretched from Unkel in the north to the Lahn in the south and bordered there on the Niederlahngau . In 790 bequeathed to Charlemagne the Prüm Abbey lands in Engers- and Niederlahngau. It is believed that the Prüm Abbey exchanged around 880 lands that it had received as a gift from Charlemagne almost a hundred years earlier . As part of such a land swap, which the abbey undertook with Count Ruotger, the name "Immendorf" is mentioned for the first time as "Ibingdorf" in a document. King Ludwig III. notarized this exchange in 880. The original document issued on March 23, 880 in Frankfurt no longer exists. But there is still a copy of this document from the Liber aureus, the golden book of Prüm , which was probably made around 1100 at the latest. This copy is now in the Trier City Library and documents the at least 1100-year history of this Koblenz district.

In the following centuries the place Immendorf (or Eymentorff and Imendorf ) is mentioned in various documents. However, no consistent history of the site can be derived from the available material.

In Immendorf, various gentlemen owned large land holdings. In addition to the Prüm Abbey possessed Herford , the 868 by King Louis the German of the manor Overanberg ( Arenberg had received) as a donation. The Helfensteiners , who originally held the management office for this estate, later appear as landlords and court lords in Immendorf. The Koblenz tax authority also had property in Immendorf. In 1211/1214 Immendorf had to pay material goods (oats, chickens) and services to the Koblenz royal court, which Heinrich II had given the Archbishop of Trier Poppo von Babenberg . The Archbishops of Trier were at times also direct owners of properties in Immendorf. From 1692 the Herford Monastery had sold the Trier Elector sovereignty over the possessions. Immendorf became an Electorate of Trier fiefdom in this way .

The chapel dedicated to St. Erasmus was built in the village square around 1675 and was completely renovated in 1891. The patronage is transferred to the St. Erasmus branch church built between 1938 and 1940 ; the old chapel was demolished in 1945.

The French Revolution brought about significant territorial changes for Immendorf as well. The princes of Nassau-Usingen , Nassau-Weilburg and Wied-Runkel had to cede their holdings on the left bank of the Rhine to France in the Peace of Lunéville . They were compensated for this with areas on the right bank of the Rhine. Prince Friedrich Wilhelm von Nassau-Weilburg received the part of Kurtrier located on the right bank of the Rhine by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of February 25, 1803 . A Nassau government was set up in Ehrenbreitstein , which also administered Immendorf .

On May 31, 1815, Nassau ceded the communities of Immendorf , Neudorf (today to Niederberg ), Arenberg, Ehrenbreitstein with the mills of Arzheim , Pfaffendorf and Horchheim to Prussia by contract. Nassau kept the municipalities of Arzbach , Kadenbach , Neuhäusel , Eitelborn and Simmern from the Ehrenbreitstein office , which have now been assigned to the Montabaur office.

From 1815 Immendorf can be referred to as an independent municipality in an administrative sense.

In 1825 the feudal rights of the Immendorfer lands were officially lifted. With the successive purchase of these parcels by the citizens of Immendorf, these lands were transferred to free ownership.

In order to avoid the imminent incorporation of the community into the city of Koblenz due to the administrative reorganization of Rhineland-Palatinate, the community of Immendorf and the neighboring town of Arenberg formed the joint community of Arenberg-Immendorf on June 7, 1969 . On April 20, 1970, the state government of Rhineland-Palatinate decreed the incorporation of Arenberg-Immendorf into the city of Koblenz. The last meeting of the municipal council took place on November 5, 1970, before it was incorporated into the city of Koblenz on November 7, 1970.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of Immendorf

The coat of arms of Immendorf contains nine blue lilies on a gold background in the divided shield above and a beehive in the lower area in which four bees (Immen) fly in. Immendorf belonged for a long time to the rule Müllenbach of the Lords of Helfenstein. The four lilies in the upper part of the coat of arms are borrowed from their coat of arms. The beehive, on the other hand, points to the popular interpretation of the name "Immendorf" as the place of beekeepers and bees .

Place name

The toponym "Immendorf" consists of the two components "Imme" and "Dorf". It is not thought impossible that the defining word “always” means bee. Imme (bee) means “imbe” in Old High German. The place name "Ibingdorf" mentioned in the royal charter could be derived from this. Other researchers consider a derivation from the personal name "Immo" (Irmino, Ermino) to be more likely. Thus Immendorf meant the settlement or the village of the Immo.

politics

A joint local district was formed for the districts of Immendorf and Arenberg , which is represented by a local advisory council and a local councilor. Further information can be found at Arenberg and the results of the local elections in Koblenz .
