Norheim is a municipality in the Bad Kreuznach district in Rhineland-Palatinate . It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde Rüdesheim .

Geographical location

Norheim is located in the Nahe valley near the Rheingrafenstein and the Rotenfels .

history

Norheim is the oldest documented wine village on the Nahe. It was sold to Lorsch Abbey in the “15th Year of King Pippin ”(766 or 767) called“ Narheim ”and“ in pago Nahgowe ”(Narheim im Nahegau) in the Lorsch Codex .

In 962 the property was exchanged from Lorsch to St. Maximin in Trier . In 1190 jurisdiction and property came to the lords of Bolanden from the empire as fief. From 1440 it came to the Sickinger on the Ebernburg for three centuries via the Rheingrafen and the Sponheimers . When the last representative died in 1768, the rule fell back to the Electoral Palatinate as an ownerless fief.

After the end of the Napoleonic wars and by the decisions of the Congress of Vienna (1815) Norheim was Prussian and 1816 the county Kreuznach in Koblenz assigned.

The Catholic parish church Raising the Cross at Norheim dates in parts (tower) from the first half of the 13th century. From 1363 it was incorporated into the St. Crucis Abbey (Heiligkreuzstift, also: Maria im Felde) in Mainz . After the Reformation up to 1698, the church was awarded the Evangelical Confession. It was given the current Gothic shape of the ship in 1864, and in 1911 the tower was raised by a slate sound chamber and given a pointed, eight-sided helmet . The tower stands in the east and used to form the choir . The entrance was also broken in 1911.

Norheim had three watermills . The oldest was the Witt'sche Mühle which was first mentioned in 1471. It was an old German gear mill with an undershot water wheel . There was cereal (1838-1852) also and according to Adam Karst oilseed ground. Since the mill was Bannmühle , the citizens of Norheim were only allowed to have their grain ground there. After the sale to Müller Krieger, the mill was shut down in 1833.

The second mill is the Steinsche Mühle (Krugermühle since 1910). It is 20 m below the Witt'schen Mühle and was built in 1722 as a property mill with the generous permission of Sickinger. Since the people of Norheim were banned from Witt'sche Mühle, the then owner Stein had to look for customers in Traisen and Hüffelsheim and buy grain at the Kreuznacher Kornmarkt and sell it there as flour. The Krugermühle was a grain mill with its own mill pond and an undershot picking wheel. This was in use until it was shut down in 1975. Since 1995 the system has been reactivated with a new wheel and generates electricity using an asynchronous generator . The expected annual output is 200,000 kWh.

The third mill is the willow mill at the eastern end of the village. It was built in 1726 by the miller Matthias Schmitt. It was a property mill in the Sickinger concession, where grain was ground. It was driven by an undershot water wheel. After the Witt'sche Bannmühle ceased operations at the beginning of the 19th century, the willow mill was the most important mill in Norheim. Their operation was stopped in 1950 after the death of the last miller, Hans Brosius.
