Location of Maximiliansau in Rhineland-Palatinate

Maximiliansau is a district of the city of Wörth am Rhein and is located in the district of Germersheim in the southeast of Rhineland-Palatinate . Maximiliansau has around 7200 inhabitants.

location

Maximiliansau is located directly on the Rhine directly opposite the city of Karlsruhe , or rather the Karlsruhe district of Maxau , which was once called Maximiliansau itself, but was then shortened to “Maxau”. A road and a railway bridge cross the river at river kilometer 362. The core city of Wörth is northwest of Maximiliansau, the city of Hagenbach southwest.

history

Until November 23, 1938, the community was called Pfortz . With the construction of the first ship bridge in 1840, a hamlet with various buildings (bridge houses, customs buildings, industrial settlements, restaurants, etc.) was created north of Pfortz ; the settlement traded under the name "An der Wörther-Knielinger Schiffbrücke". At the request of the residents, the name Maximiliansau was given in 1858 by King Maximilian II of Bavaria. At that time the Palatinate belonged to the Kingdom of Bavaria as the Rhine District . However, this hamlet always remained part of the Pfortz community. The first railway ship bridge was built in 1865 at the confluence of the railway line from Winden to the Rhine. In 1938 the local council decided to rename Pfortz to Maximiliansau. On March 21, 1945, the Rhine bridge near Maxilimiliansau was destroyed when an American artillery shell hit a detonator, triggering the demolition of the bridge prepared by the Germans (see Operation Undertone ).

Since 1972 Maximiliansau belonged to the Verbandsgemeinde Wörth , so since then the administration was housed in Wörth. On June 10, 1979, the local community Maximiliansau was dissolved and combined with Wörth, Schaidt and Büchelberg to form the city of Wörth am Rhein .

The Deutsche Linoleum-Werke (DLW), the Schenck company (wood processing, chipboard and sleeper production) and the Rheinpfalz glassworks in Maximiliansau used to have economic importance . All factories closed in the 1970s.

In colloquial language, the place name is often shortened to "Max'au".

In Maximiliansau in 1870 and 1871, the Gehrlein company built the famous wooden ship designed by Max von Siebert for the floating Rhine circus .
