Lindesheim

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lindesheim is a desert in the northeastern Palatinate ( Rhineland-Palatinate ). The rural settlement was already abandoned in the Middle Ages by the few inhabitants, the number of which has not been recorded.

geography

The small village lay between the Palatinate Forest in the west and the Rhine plain in the east on the southeast slope of 165  m above sea level. NHN high Wörschberg to the left of the Floßbach between the 1.3 and 1.5 km distant town centers of today's local communities Obersülzen (west) and Dirmstein (south-east). Like this it would belong to the Leiningerland today .

There are two natural monuments in the vicinity : about 600 m to the east, below at the Floßbach, the Chorbrünnel , about 700 m southeast of the Wörschberger Hohl .

history

Lindesheim belonged to the then diocese of Worms , which gave it to the Count of Zweibrücken as a fief . Count Walram I von Zweibrücken and his brother Eberhard sold the village in 1298 to the Worms monastery Maria Münster .

The village went under completely around 1350. For this purpose, the vernacular passed on a legend that is related to the history of the Dirmsteiner bells and that speaks of an alleged bell called "Susann". However, the legend is no evidence that Lindesheim actually owned a house of worship.

The Lindesheimer Strasse in the northwest of Dirmstein and the street of the same name in the southwest of Offstein are named after the submerged town .
