Location of Nanzweiler in Rhineland-Palatinate

Nanzweiler is part of the municipality of Nanzdietschweiler in the Rhineland-Palatinate district of Kusel . Until 1969 the place was an independent municipality. However, it does not have legal status as a local district.

location

Dietschweiler is located in the northwestern part of the local community on the orographically left bank of the Glan on the southwestern edge of the North Palatinate Bergland , which merges into the Landstuhler Bruch in this area . The district is 267.83 hectares. The Atzelbach flows through the village and flows into the Glan.

history

Nanzweiler was first mentioned in a document in 1350 as Nanczvilre . The settlement area extended on both sides of the Glans. The Hornbach Monastery got that part to the left of the Glans, the right side remained in the possession of the Holy Roman Empire . The latter eventually developed into Nanzdiezweiler . Later Nanzweiler came into the possession of the noble family Von der Leyen .

From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , the part of Nanzweiler on the left of the Glans was incorporated into the canton of Waldmohr in the Saar department . the part to the right of the Glans, on the other hand, belonged to the canton of Landstuhl in the Donnersberg department . In 1816 the place changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria and belonged to the Landkommissariat Homburg in the Rhine district .

In the course of the Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform, Nanzweiler was merged with the neighboring towns of Dietschweiler and Nanzdiezweiler to form the new local community of Nanzdietschweiler. The name of the new municipality is made up of elements from all three districts.

Population development

In 1928 the place had 364 inhabitants, of whom 265 were Catholic and 99 Protestant and who lived in 54 residential buildings. At the time of incorporation into the newly created local community of Nanzdietschweiler in 1969, 465 people lived in Nanzweiler. In the period that followed, the number fell, like almost everywhere in the West Palatinate ; in 2007 only 389 people lived on site.

Infrastructure

Nanzweiler once had an originally purely Catholic elementary school, which later taught a Catholic and a Protestant class. In 1970 the school was closed; since then the elementary school in Dietschweiler has been responsible for the entire local community of Nanzdietschweiler. With the local Catholic Church there is also a cultural monument in the village .

traffic

Street

State road 358 , which runs from Glan-Münchweiler to Bruchmühlbach , and district roads 54 , 58 and 59 run through Nanzweiler .

rail

In 1904 the neighboring town of Dietschweiler was connected to the railway network with the opening of the Glantalbahn . The station in question was initially called Dietschweiler-Nanzweiler before it was renamed Dietschweiler in 1912 . At the beginning of the 1960s, Nanzweiler received its own stop one kilometer north of the train station, which meant that the said railway line in the southern section of Homburg - Glan-Münchweiler should be revitalized. It was closed again in the late 1970s. Passenger traffic was stopped in 1981; Since freight traffic between Schönenberg-Kübelberg and Glan-Münchweiler had already been stopped, this section of the route was henceforth without regular traffic. The tracks were dismantled at the end of the 1980s. In 2002, the Glan-Blies-Weg , which was completed in 2006 in full, was opened on the route . The closest train station has since been in Glan-Münchweiler.
