history

Until the 18th century

Numerous names for the village have been known over the centuries. You can read about Lossa, Locze, Loszem, Lossem, Lozsheim, Lohsheim, Lussem, Luzheim and later Lußheim.

Lußheim was originally a prehistoric fishing settlement on the Roman road . The residents lived from fishing in the waters of the many Rhine loops. In the village itself, at the highest point, there was a pagan temple at that time. A church was later built in its place.

The Rhine at Altlußheim

In 496/97 the Franks attacked the Alemanni ruling in the local area and pushed them back to the Murg . Lußheim can be traced back to a Franconian branch. The name ending -heim is also a reference to this, as are the purely Franconian farms that still exist in the town today, such as B. the property Rheinhäuser Straße 8 and the property Hauptstraße 74. The row graves found also speak for the Rhine-Franconian origin. Spatially speaking, Altlußheim lies in the middle of Rhine Franconia, a part of the medieval Greater Franconia region. Under constitutional law, Loszem at that time belonged to the Duchy of Rhine Franconia . The first documentary mention of Lußheim in 946 took place as Luzheim in a document in which the place was donated by the Rhine-Franconian Duke Konrad to Bishop Reginald I of Speyer . Bishop Günther gave Lußheim to the newly founded Cistercian monastery of Maulbronn in 1148 . Maulbronn Monastery exercised all rights over the mayor , citizens and serfs and received the big tithe from parish income and local grants. The patronage of the place claimed in 1156 Emperor Barbarossa , which presumably passed back to the Hochstift Speyer during the interregnum .

In the 14th century the monastery came under Palatinate sovereignty. The residents of Lußheim suffered a great deal due to the great contrasts that existed between Count Palatine Friedrich and Duke Ulrich von Württemberg. When it came to open war between the two princes, the village was completely destroyed. Lußheim was exposed to years of friction between the patrons and the bishops of Speyer. Only after 1504 did normal times return to the area when the Duke of Württemberg had defeated the Palatinate. The Maulbronn monastery fell to Württemberg , which subsequently took over the local rights in Lußheim.

In the Thirty Years 'War and in the Nine Years' War in 1689 Lußheim was destroyed. In 1692 the village still had 18 citizens, 13 widows and 28 orphans. Two thirds of the residents and the mayor Johann Konrad Zeitern were murdered by enemy soldiers. The church, rectory, town hall and most of the houses and barns were burned.

At that time, a large part of the population was still serfs of Maulbronn Monastery. This condition lasted until the middle of the 18th century. At the time of the Speyer cathedral construction in 1774, the Altlußheim brickworks had to dig, burn and deliver 200,000 bricks.

Tobacco was grown on the Altlußheimer Flur even in the past . During these years, the clearing of the densely wooded area, on the area of ​​which Neulußheim was also built, began. The size of the existing hubs was reduced after they were registered under property law in 1550.

19th century

When the Rhine dam to Speyer was built from 1804 to 1822 and the green drainage was carried out, a lot of land could be used for agricultural purposes and many large farms were built here. At the same time, the new Heilbronn – Speyer road was laid out on the Rhine dam. With the revival of industry, the working class also developed here and brought better living conditions for some families. The craft, too, gradually found solid ground.

In 1803, after the Neulußheim district was separated, the Altlußheim district had a size of 2133 acres ; 903 acres of arable land (around three quarters of the usable agricultural area, a quarter were meadows), 205 acres of communal forest , 100 acres of Rhine forest and 925 acres of private hub forest . Through the exchange and epuration agreement of 1806, Altheim and Neulußheim were assigned to the Grand Duchy of Baden . In 1821 the Neulußheim settlement became independent. In order to avoid confusion, the old town of Lußheim was renamed Altlußheim.

20th century

Politically, the National Liberals were strongest before the First World War , before they were overtaken by the Social Democrats in 1903 . During the Weimar Republic , the left parties regularly had a two-thirds majority until 1930. In 1933 the NSDAP received 43.8 percent of the vote. After the community had previously belonged to the Schwetzingen office , it was incorporated into the Mannheim district, later the Mannheim district , in 1924 .

The original fishing settlement of Lußheim was significant with its ferry operation across the Rhine and also had the right to provide the ferryman, known at the time as Fergenmeister, for Lußheim and also for Ketsch. The Rhine crossing and this ferry service had an economic importance for the people in Altlußheim that should not be underestimated. A ship bridge was built in 1840, which in 1938 gave way to a permanent rail and road bridge. At the end of the Second World War , the bridge was blown up by retreating German troops. In 1955, today's Salierbrücke was built in the same place as a pure road bridge to Speyer and in the 1970s a pylon bridge north of the cathedral city for the federal motorway 61 . After the Second World War, the Danube Swabian settlement was opened up for the displaced . Later the new development areas Kirchfeldflur , Altreut 2 and 3 were added.

In the course of Baden-Württemberg's district reform in 1973, the Mannheim district was dissolved and the Altlußheim community was incorporated into the newly formed Rhein-Neckar district.

Municipal council

The town council in Altlußheim has 14 members. The municipal council consists of the elected voluntary councilors and the mayor as chairman. The mayor is entitled to vote in the municipal council.

The 2019 local elections led to the following result (in brackets: difference to 2014):

Municipal Council 2019
Political party	be right	Seats
Green	29.6% (+9.9)	4 (+1)
FWV	28.3% (+0.1)	4 (± 0)
CDU	24.4% (−1.0)	3 (± 0)
SPD	17.7% (−9.0)	3 (−1)
Turnout: 60.6% (+7.7)

mayor

The mayor is directly elected every eight years. On January 7, 2018, Uwe Grempels (SPD) was elected Mayor of Altlußheim. He took over the office on March 16, 2018 from Hartmut Beck, who had held the office for 16 years.

coat of arms

The blazon of the coat of arms reads: A red armored and red-tongued golden lion with a golden crook (crooked to the left) in the front paws, growing in black from a green three-mountain.

The coat of arms is based on a mistake, because Altlußheim never belonged to the Electoral Palatinate, which is symbolized by the lion . From 1513 a seal can be found showing the trunk of a mule. It alluded to belonging to the Maulbronn monastery and thus from 1557 to the Duchy of Württemberg . The mistake was made easier by a bad quality color stamp that the community used in the 19th century. Therefore, Altlußheim adopted today's coat of arms in 1900 on the recommendation of the General State Archives.

The flag is yellow and black and was awarded by the Ministry of the Interior on May 16, 1959.

Partnerships

Altlußheim has maintained partnership relationships with Gersdorf in Saxony since 1990 .
