Location of Naßweiler in Saarland

Naßweiler is a district of the community Großrosseln in the Saarland regional association Saarbrücken . Until the end of 1973 Naßweiler was an independent municipality. In terms of area, the place is the third largest and in terms of population the smallest district.

location

Naßweiler borders France in three directions and has practically grown together with the French villages of Merlebach (municipality of Freyming-Merlebach ), Cité Belle-Roche (municipality of Cocheren ) and Rosbruck .

history

Count Wilhelm Ludwig von Nassau-Saarbrücken signed the founding deed for the town of Naßweiler on St. John's Day 1608. This document speaks of a village "on a corner of the Warnet, behind Roßbrücken". The background was that 14 Huguenot emigrants from Lorraine asked the Count “on St. Niclaus Ban, located in the Warnet” to be allowed to build a village. The names of the men are handed down in the founding document: Heinrich Symon, Cuntzen Peter, Friedrich Fisch von Merlebach, Chun Braun von Bettingen, Symon Fleckenstein, Hanß Fleckenstein, Eberhardt Stoffel von Eberßweiler, Bastian Nickel, Weber Nickel, Weber Joachim von Kochern, Hanß Kunckel , Symon Herzogh von Benningen, Image Peter von Fraymingen, Hans Schreiner von Vorweiler at Berus.

The devastation resulting from the Thirty Years' War , including the billeting of parts of Adam Dietrich's and Johann Philipp Kratz von Scharfenstein's troops and a subsequent post-epidemic, led to the population fleeing. Resettlement began in 1669. Ohligmacher Pierre Jollage von Ludweiler asked Count Gustav Adolf von Nassau-Saarbrücken to be allowed to settle in the "village of Naßweiler, which was burned to the ground".

According to the Folklinger Chronicle, another six families moved to Naßweiler between 1713 and 1735. Until the start of coal mining on the Saar, Naßweiler was mainly characterized by agriculture.

As part of the Saarland regional and administrative reform , the previously independent municipality of Naßweiler was assigned to the municipality of Großrosseln on January 1, 1974.

Regulated in the Saar Treaty , mining was carried out from France under Naßweiler , which led to considerable mining damage.
