history

Pfaffen-Schwabenheim is - like all Rheinhessen towns with the ending -heim - a Franconian foundation of the 5th / 6th Century. For Suaboheim , the Lorsch Codex contains four deeds of donation (nos. 1917 - 1920) from the period between 770 and 836. However, it is not clear whether these are Pfaffen-Schwabenheim or Schwabenheim an der Selz . This did not take place until 1248, whereby the Augustinian Canons were eponymous, who were transferred to the Blessed Eberhard VI after 1130 by the Archbishop of Mainz, Adalbert I of Saarbrücken, in around 1040 . monasteries co-founded by Nellenburg were used, so that the Augustinian canons of Pfaffen-Schwabenheim came into being. Around 1120, the place came to the county of Sponheim as a dowry from the Nellenburg heiress Mechtild von Mörsberg . After the house was divided in 1220, it belonged to the county of Sponheim-Kreuznach, which - viewed from the imaginary location of Mainz - is also known as the "front county of Sponheim". After the Count of Sponheim-Kreuznach died out in 1414, it fell to the County of Sponheim-Starkenburg. When the strong castle line died out in 1437, Pfaffen-Schwabenheim came to a condominium of the margraviate of Baden and the counts of Veldenz . The latter were inherited in 1444 by the Pfalz-Simmern family , which also inherited the electoral dignity in 1559 and died out in 1685. After the end of the devastating War of the Palatinate Succession in 1697, the new Kurlinie Pfalz-Neuburg had the largest unchanged Baroque monastery in Rhineland-Palatinate built in Pfaffen-Schwabenheim as part of its re-Catholicization policy . After the condominium was divided between Baden and the Electoral Palatinate in 1707, Pfaffen-Schwabenheim and the Kreuznach Oberamt belonged entirely to the Electoral Palatinate . After the French Revolution , the place was occupied by the French in the course of the coalition wars in 1792 and in 1797 the Département du Mont-Tonnerre ( Donnersberg ) was incorporated into French territory.
