geography

Geographical location

Lingerhahn is centrally located in the Hunsrück between Emmelshausen and Kastellaun , directly on the Schinderhannes cycle path , not far from the federal motorway 61 ( Pfalzfeld exit ) and the Hunsrückhöhenstraße . In terms of nature, it lies on the edge of the Kirchberg plateau, which extends from Kirchberg to this point as a narrow plateau, is over 480 m high and forms the watershed between the Moselle and Nahe . The Grundbach , which rises south of the village , drains towards the Nahe, and the Pfalzfelder Bach, which flows past to the north, flows to the Moselle via the Baybach .

climate

The annual precipitation is 758 mm. The precipitation is in the middle third of the values ​​recorded in Germany. Lower values ​​are registered at 54% of the measuring stations of the German Weather Service . The driest month is February, with the most rainfall in June. In June there is 1.6 times more rainfall than in February. Precipitation varies only minimally and is extremely evenly distributed over the year. Lower seasonal fluctuations are recorded at only 4% of the measuring stations .

history

Roman time

In 1873, the remains of a Roman villa Rustica were excavated north of Lingerhahn in the “Mohr” area. These were "slabs of burned clay, as well as clay tubes and remains of ashes". According to witnesses, coins were also found. In the immediate vicinity was a road leading from the Rhine to the Moselle, which already existed in pre-Roman times (today's main road, continuation: "Karrenstraße").

middle Ages

In 1245 Lingerhahn first appeared in a document: "Cunradus and Friedericus von Liningerhagen" appeared as witnesses in a court case. This document shows that Lingerhahn belonged to the parish of Halsenbach at that time .

From 1275 at the latest, Lingerhahn belonged to the parish of Schönenberg (Sconinburg) . This parish was named after a hill between Kisselbach , Riegenroth and Steinbach , on which the parish church was located. The tenth lord of this parish at that time was Hermann von Milwalt . He had received the right to tithe against annual interest ("15 Cologne Solids") from the St. Martin Chapter in Worms .

In 1375 an inspection of the large parish of Boppard took place, to which the parish of Schönenberg also belonged. In the description of this incident, the imperial notary Detmarus von Langenbeke from Cologne notes that the area of ​​the Hunsrück was found to be heavily devastated and entire villages were deserted. This is due to the Black Death , which was rampant in Europe in the mid-14th century. According to chroniclers, more than a quarter of the population fell victim to this epidemic in the Hunsrück.

In return for being elected German king, Baldwin of Luxembourg received the imperial cities of Boppard , Wesel (Oberwesel) and the Gallscheid court as pledge from his brother Emperor Heinrich VII of Luxembourg , and later from Ludwig the Bavarian . The legal district of the Gallscheider court, named after a place of jurisdiction in the Emmelshausen district ( "Galgenscheid" , "Galgenhöhe" ), comprised a large area to which Lingerhahn also belonged. In the boundary description of the Gallscheid court from 1460, Lingerhahn is referred to as "Linyngerhane slacken" . With "slacken" the gravel hills are probably meant that today about one kilometer east of Lingerhahn are (left of the turn-off to Pfalzfeld at the L214 / 216). These mounds of rubble consist of waste ( slag ) from the ore mining and smelting there . In 1435 the judicial district was granted to Peter and Johann von Schöneck .

Destruction in the Thirty Years War and reconstruction

In the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) Lingerhahn was occupied by the troops of the Swedish King Gustav II Adolf and almost completely destroyed. In the nearby village of Pfalzfeld , the mayor reported the theft of food and farm animals and the destruction of crops by soldiers, another eyewitness spoke of mistreatment and murders. The far-reaching consequences of the war can be seen in the population of Lingerhahn: in 1563 there were still 18 families (“heads”) in Lingerhahn , and in 1663 there were only seven.

After the destruction, the village was rebuilt at its current location. The original location of the village is described in the Lingerhahn school chronicle as "more to the east". The name of the parcel “Im Weiher” , about 200 meters north of Lingerhahn on the road to Hausbay, could provide further clues. Perhaps the fire pond of the old village was at this point .

Modern times

In 1784 Lingerhahn owned 36 households.

In 1798 the Rhineland was incorporated into the French Republic . The previously existing division into principalities and counties was replaced by newly created departments . These were divided into arrondissements and these in turn into cantons . Lingerhahn was added to the canton of Sankt Goar in the Rhine and Moselle departments . After the Rhineland was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 on the basis of the treaties of the Congress of Vienna , Lingerhahn belonged to the mayor 's office of Pfalzfeld in the newly created district of St. Goar in the administrative district of Coblenz .

Riots in March 1848

On the morning of March 25, 1848, Mayor Müller was informed that members of the parish of Lingerhahn, “where there are many poor and peddlers”, were preparing to storm the mayor's office in Pfalzfeld. He called a security guard together, which he had armed with rifles. Gendarmes from the neighborhood also rushed to help. At 2 p.m., the Lingerhahn appeared, armed with pistols and rifles, led by a rider on a white horse who was supposed to represent Napoleon I , behind them a red flag and the brother and brother-in-law of the Catholic pastor von Lingerhahn, as well as some members of the church council. The armed "army" followed and at the end some women with empty baskets. Shouts like “Vivat Napoleon!” And “Vivat the Republic!” Became loud. When the mayor asked what they wanted, they replied: “Freedom and equality. There is no longer a Prussian state. We are thus renouncing the mayor's office. ”Then there was a scuffle with several seriously injured, some of which were seriously injured, and symbols of Prussia, such as B. official badges and two sovereign eagles were torn down. The armed men then withdrew, threatening to return stronger at night. Pfalzfeld was placed under the protection of a division of the 26th Infantry Regiment and remained unmolested, while Lingerhahn again formally separated from Prussia, proclaimed the republic and no longer passed reportable events such as deaths or births to the responsible authorities. There was no punishment due to insufficient troop strength, it was hoped that the beginning field work would bring the citizens back to reason. Nothing is known about the further course of events, nothing more eventful seems to have occurred. The intentions of the rebels were probably the destruction of the Mayor's Office and the destruction of all files, especially the basic cadastre , after which they would divide the country jointly. Besides, they had probably also hoped for looted property. The masterminds of this uprising seem to have been the Lingerhahn pastor Schmoll and his brother, who had previously attracted attention through statements hostile to the state. It was proven that he had issued a slogan, “as early as 6/7. March is going to start in Cologne, there is a religious war, everyone should stick together. "This message was commented by the district administrator with a marginal note:" Pastor Schmoll [...] is notoriously often exalted by spirits. "This is all Probably due to regional disputes in addition to longing for the imperial era and the French republic, whereby denominational motives certainly played a major role. The former Electorate, purely Catholic Lingerhahn was larger and therefore more important in its own estimation than the mixed confessional Pfalzfeld with its strong Protestant 2/5 minority, which, due to the same former Hessian affiliation, turned towards the Protestant St. Goar.

regional customs

Fair

On the weekend after January 20th, the name day of St. Sebastian , the patron of the church in Lingerhahn, the fair is celebrated. As part of the festivities, the so-called "Kirmesjugend", whose core is made up of the age group of those villagers who come of age in the relevant year, raffles the fair tree. This fair tree, which is a spruce tree decorated for several meters and with the exception of the top defoliated, is solemnly erected at the beginning of the fair, so that you can see from a further distance that the fair is currently being celebrated in the village.

May night / Witches night

On the night of May 1st, the youth traditionally celebrate the so-called "May Night". The place of the celebration is always a certain place in the forest west of the village, which today is called Kelsit (pronounced: "Kälsert"). This is probably originally a former charcoal burner settlement . The ending "-sert" is used in the dialect for localities, cf. also Brousert for Braunshorn and Palsert for Pfalzfeld . Another indication that this is a former settlement is that the preposition "after" is used to indicate that one is going there: "I am going to Kelsit." The fact that the celebration takes place there could indicate that in earlier times villagers visited the Koehler settlement to celebrate there with the local residents.

Another tradition on May night is the so-called "Pfädchen". The basis for this are rumors about a (love) relationship between two villagers, which is not yet public. It does not matter whether these rumors are true. Without the knowledge of these two people, a path made of stones, chalk, lime or the like is drawn from the house entrance of one to the house entrance of the other, so that this relationship is visible to everyone through this "path".

Corpus Christi

The tradition of Corpus Christi processions is renewed every year in Lingerhahn. Poles wrapped in brushwood (nowadays more and more only green-colored poles) are set up along the street, the tips of which are decorated with flags in the colors red and white, blue and white or yellow and white across the street. In addition, there are several altars erected along the route, which are only re-erected annually for this purpose. In front of the altars, carpets made of flowers or colored sawdust are made with patterns or Christian motifs (chalice, cross).

politics

coat of arms

Blazon : "Above a raised golden shield base, inside a red bar, split in green by a silver pole, in front a silver chapel, behind a silver wall with a bubbling spring."

Reasons for the coat of arms: The base of the shield refers to the former Gallscheider court with an addition from the coat of arms of those of Schöneck (red bar in gold). The chapel symbolizes the first thatched church, which was mentioned in the municipality's inventory book in 1719. The wall refers to the cellar walls of a Roman villa in the area, made of broken stone and bricks. The spring is said to have supplied the water for the residents of the building and was only diverted into a drainage system in the 1950s. The stake symbolizes the cart road that has existed since pre-Roman times.

Tourism

North-east of Lingerhahn is the "Am Mühlenteich" campsite, which was opened in 1975 by the Christ family. Since then, it has received numerous awards, including multiple ADAC tourism prizes and the gold medal in the national competition.
