geography

Korweiler is located in the northern Hunsrück on a ridge east of the Dünnbach valley .

Location description

Bartholomew Chapel

Korweiler is a typical Hunsrück Haufendorf, which is grouped around its Catholic church. The one-nave church, the Bartholomäuskapelle , built in 1907 , is dedicated to St. Bartholomäus . Once a year the congregation meets for the “congregation day” in the former school, a typical brick building, to eat, drink, “chat” and go over what has happened again.

history

The oldest evidence of settlement comes from the early La Tène period . Iron Age settlement groups were discovered to the south-east of the town in 1939/40 when dirt roads were being laid out. According to the ceramics found, they are around 2400 years old and can be attributed to the younger Hunsrück-Eifel culture . No further research was carried out at the time, but it is very likely that Iron Age houses were located here.

Today's place was first mentioned in 1307 as "Corwilre". According to the document, Sibodo von Schmidtberg donated his goods located in “Corwilre” to the Kumbd monastery , which in the following centuries until modern times owned a farm, serfs and income in the village.

Although Korweiler belonged to the rule and castle of Waldeck since the late Middle Ages or the early modern period , the place took a special position within the rule of Waldeck due to the Kumbder properties and rights . However, the Boos at Waldeck held the umbrella money for a long time, i. H. the rights and income of the monastery courtyard Kumbd. The rule of Waldeck was directly imperial from the 16th century at the latest and, in addition to the grounds of the castle itself, included the villages of Dorweiler , Mannebach and Korweiler as well as the deserted area of ​​Hausen near Beltheim . Despite belonging to the Waldeck rule, all Korweiler residents were considered "Willibrord children", i.e. H. as originally belonging to a fiefdom of the Abbey of Sankt Willibrord in Echternach. From this multiple affiliation, disagreements arose again and again in the early modern period with the Knights of Waldeck, which led to conflicts and comparisons up to and including the Imperial Court of Justice.

In 1711 the place burned down, including the Kumbschen Erbhof for the most part and was rebuilt. As a result, only a few buildings have survived that are older than the 18th century.

In 1794 the region was occupied by French revolutionary troops, in 1798 it was incorporated into the Rhin-et-Moselle department and thus French until 1814. As a result of the redistribution of the territories agreed at the Congress of Vienna , substantial parts of the Rhineland , including Korweiler, became part of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 . Since 1946 the place has been part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
