Nussdorf is a district of Landau in the Palatinate in Rhineland-Palatinate .

The place is north of the core city and has around 1500 inhabitants. Nussdorf lies in front of the Haardt mountain range on the western edge of the Rhine plain .

The main line of business is viticulture with around 500 hectares of vineyards. In addition, there are around 30 oil production sites in the Landau oil field .

geography

Crude oil is stored under the Nussdorfer Scholle at a depth of 500 to 1800 meters and has been pumped with horse head pumps since 1957 .

history

The discovery of a stone of the four gods, which served as the base of a Jupiter column, indicates the existence of a Roman villa rustica .

Nussdorf was first mentioned in 802 in the "Codex Diplomaticus Fuldensis", the legal book of the Fulda monastery . During the Middle Ages the village belonged to different rulers until Johann von Heydeck, the owner of the Madenburg rulership , sold it to the imperial city of Landau in 1508 .

On April 23, 1525, the church fair Sunday, a peasant uprising broke out in Nussdorf, which developed into the Palatinate Peasants' War . On the same day, an estate in the Eusserthal monastery was plundered by Nussdorf farmers . Until the peasant uprising in the battle of Pfeddersheim was put down on June 24, 1525, where around 8,000 peasants were killed, the short-lived "Nussdorfer Haufen" plundered numerous castles and monasteries and the associated goods in the southern Palatinate .

After the Thirty Years' War , the almost completely depopulated Nussdorf, together with Landau, came under French suzerainty. During the four sieges of Landau in the 18th century, Nussdorf was repeatedly plundered.

After the Palatinate fell to Bavaria in 1816 , Nussdorf was released from the Landau property and became an independent municipality. On April 22, 1972, the village was again incorporated into Landau.

Surname

Nussdorf takes its name from the settlers who once settled under the walnut trees, which are found in large numbers in Nussdorf and the surrounding area.
