geography

location

Marnheim is located in the immediate vicinity of Kirchheimbolanden at the transition from the Rheinhessen table and hill country to the North Palatinate highlands . A few kilometers to the east is Worms . Marnheim also includes the hamlets and residential areas Berghof, Elbisheimerhof , Froschauerhof , Mittelmühle, Riedenmühle, Rothenbergermühle, Sandbrunner Häuschen and Steinmühle.

The Hungerberg range of hills extends to the north of the district . Marnheim itself is on the Pfrimm ; the latter takes on the Gerbach from the left .

history

In 774 Marnheim was first mentioned in the Lorsch Codex as Mawenheim . The place is probably even older as a settlement area, as finds in the area show. In 1135 Marnheim was then called Mouwenheim , as a document from a certain Arnold von Mouwenheim attests.

In the Middle Ages, Marnheim belonged to the Bolanden rule for a long time , later to the Electoral Palatinate and its office Bolanden and then until the end of the 18th century to Nassau-Weilburg , where it was subordinate to the Oberamt Kirchheim .

From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Marnheim was incorporated into the canton of Kirchheim in the Donnersberg department and formed an iegnee Mairie . In 1815 the place had a total of 785 inhabitants. In the same year it was added to Austria . Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 Marnheim belonged to the Land Commissioner Kirchheim - later Kirchhheimbolanden ; from this the district office of Kirchhheimbolanden emerged.

In connection with the revolutionary struggles of 1849, the then Prince of Prussia, later Emperor Wilhelm I , signed the “ Declaration of the Rhine Palatinate in War ” , which is controversial under international law . The table on which this happened is preserved as a historical piece of furniture in the Heimatmuseum in Kirchheimbolanden.

From 1939 the place was part of the Kirchheimbolanden district . After the Second World War , Ramsen became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform , Marnheim moved to the newly formed Donnersbergkreis in 1969 ; three years later, the community was incorporated into the also newly created community of Kirchheimbolanden .

religion

On October 22, 1940, the Jews living in Marnheim were deported as part of the Wagner-Bürckel campaign . By the end of 2015, Marnheim was a Catholic branch of the parish of Bolanden. Since 2016 the parish has belonged to the parish of St. Anna located in Kirchheimbolanden .
