Location of Pfeddersheim in Worms

The once free imperial city of Pfeddersheim [pronunciation ˈpfɛdɐs.haɪm , in the dialect ˈpedɛʒm ] has been a district of the city of Worms with 6,842 inhabitants since 1969 after two thousand years of independent history .

Located in the Rhine-Hessian Pfrimm Valley, Pfeddersheim is embedded in vineyards where mainly Riesling grapes are grown. The well-preserved defense towers of the medieval city wall are just as worth seeing as the former synagogue and the Evangelical-Catholic simultaneous church . In addition, the Professor Dr. Bertlein School Museum.

Prehistory and the Early Middle Ages

Archaeological finds prove a settlement since Roman times. The name is also derived from the Latin name Paternus . From the 5th century, Pfeddersheim was owned by Franconian kings. They expanded the place. The oldest surviving mention of Pfeddersheim comes from a document from 754 AD. Bishop Chrodegang von Metz awarded it to the Gorze Abbey , including goods

"... illam basilicam que est in Paterno villa constructa ..."
... the church that is built in Pfeddersheim ...
"... et illam decimam de vino ..."
... and also the tithe of the wine ...

The Benedictine monastery St. Georgenberg had existed north of the village since the 10th century as a branch of the Gorze Abbey.

High Middle Ages

Around 1300 Pfeddersheim was granted city rights by King Albrecht I. The city eventually became so prosperous and important that it belonged to the Rheinische Städtebund from 1381 along with cities such as Frankfurt , Mainz , Strasbourg and Worms . The Battle of Pfeddersheim took place in 1388 as part of the association of towns .

In July 1460 there was another battle of Pfeddersheim as part of the Mainz collegiate feud . In 1465, in the settlement that ended the Mainz collegiate feud, the king surrendered his city rule to the Electoral Palatinate .

Early modern age

Again in 1525 the city was ravaged by warlike events in the course of the German Peasants' War . On 23/24 June 1525 the city was the scene of the battle of Pfeddersheim . Peasants had occupied the city, the city citizens showed solidarity with the peasants. The city was encircled by the opposing military. A failure failed and thousands of farmers and townspeople were killed in the battle. Together with Worms, the city submitted to Elector Ludwig V of the Palatinate . Large areas of what is now Rhineland-Palatinate became Protestant. After the destruction during the Thirty Years' War and especially the War of the Palatinate Succession in 1689, Pfeddersheim remained a relatively small community.

Until the end of the 18th century Pfeddersheim belonged to the Upper Palatinate Office of Alzey . After 1792 the region was occupied by French troops in the First Revolutionary War and annexed after the Peace of Campo Formio (1797) . From 1798 to 1814 Pfeddersheim belonged to the French department of Donnersberg and was the administrative seat ( chef-lieu ) of the canton Pfeddersheim , which included 24 communities.

Modern times

Due to the agreements of the Congress of Vienna (1815) and a state treaty concluded with Austria and Prussia , the city came to the Grand Duchy of Hesse as part of Rheinhessen in 1816 . In 1874 the town charter was revoked because of the low population.

After the Second World War , Pfeddersheim became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone and belonged to the district of Worms in the administrative district of Rheinhessen .

For the 1200th anniversary in 1954, Pfeddersheim became a town again, but was incorporated into Worms on June 7, 1969. A lawsuit before the Koblenz administrative court was unsuccessful.

In 1993 family disputes in Pfeddersheim were the starting point of the " Worms Trials ".
