history

The lords of Lustadt had their seat there. Until the end of the 18th century, Oberlustadt belonged to the Heimbach Commandery, which was subordinate to the Order of St. John . From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Oberlustadt was incorporated into the canton of Germersheim in the department of the Lower Rhine and had its own Mairie . In 1815 the community had a total of 1143 inhabitants. In the same year, Austria was struck. Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 Ober-Lustadt belonged - as it was spelled at the time - to the Landkommissariat Germersheim ; from this the district office of Germersheim emerged.

In 1928 Oberlustadt had 1214 inhabitants who lived in 249 residential buildings. Both Protestants and Catholics each owned a local parish. From 1938 the place was part of the district of Germersheim . After the Second World War , Oberlustadt became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . As part of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform , Oberlustadt was merged with the neighboring municipality of Niederlustadt on June 7, 1969 to form the new local municipality of Lustadt .

From 1851 a synagogue existed on site , which fell victim to the November pogroms of 1938 . The 1928 population statistics show 37 "Israelites". On October 22, 1940 Jews from Oberlustadt were deported as part of the Wagner-Bürckel campaign .

Passenger traffic was discontinued in 1984, and freight traffic followed in the 1990s. The place is connected to the local traffic by the bus line 590 of the traffic association Rhein-Neckar , which connects it with the Landau main station as well as with Germersheim .
