history
From the 14th century Ramstein was part of the Electoral Palatinate . From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Ramstein was incorporated into the canton of Landstuhl . Then the place changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 he belonged to the Homburg Land Commissioner , from which the Homburg District Office emerged. Since part of the district office - including Homburg itself - was added to the newly created Saar area in 1920 , Ramstein moved to the newly created district office in Landstuhl . In 1928 Ramstein had 2910 residents who lived in 462 residential buildings. At that time the place was the seat of a Catholic parish, while the Protestants belonged to that of Steinwend . From 1938 the place was part of the district of Kaiserslautern . During the heavy defensive battles in the Palatinate, the AOK 1 had its army command post in Ramstein from February 10 to March 18, 1945. After the Second World War , Ramstein became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . As part of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate, Ramstein was merged with the neighboring community of Miesenbach to form the new local community of Ramstein-Miesenbach on June 7, 1969 .
Transport and infrastructure
traffic
In 1868 Ramstein was connected to the railway network with the opening of the Landstuhl – Kusel railway line. The train station is in a central location in Ramstein and received a smaller reception building with a wooden porch. Immediately next to him was a laundry room, to the north of which was an outhouse, a goods shed, a loading bay, a loading ramp and a coal store. In 1897, for military reasons, its crossing tracks were extended to a total length of 500 meters. In 1911 it was 564 meters. There was also a siding in the eastern part of the station. In 1934 the Deutsche Reichsbahn stationed a Kö I and a Köf II in the station. In 1988, the Federal Railroad rebuilt the station to the stop. It was only with the introduction of the Rhineland-Palatinate cycle that it was restored to its function as a train station for train crossings. In the south of the district there is also the Landstuhl-West motorway junction .
Infrastructure
The most important object on site is the Ramstein Air Base , which was built after the Second World War and to which the place owes its national fame. On this, the air conference accident occurred in 1988 . There is also a Rettenmeier sawmill on site .
energy
A biogas plant has been in operation in Ramstein since 2012 . The plant produces 900 cubic meters of biogas per hour from renewable raw materials and liquid manure . Two block -type thermal power stations are operated on site, which together produce a good 4.4 million kilowatt hours of electricity and heat within one year. A large part of this biogas is converted into pure biomethane. The plant feeds 350 cubic meters of biomethane into the local natural gas network per hour . This means that several combined heat and power plants are operated at other locations. They generate around eleven million kilowatt hours of electricity and more than 12 million kilowatt hours of heat every year. The project developer juwi built the system and sold it to ABO Kraft & Wärme AG after three years of operation. The new owner commissioned the project developer ABO Wind to convert the system and invested more than one million euros in the process.
