||
Reichenbach is a part of the local community Reichenbach-Steegen in the district of Kaiserslautern ( Rhineland-Palatinate ). Until 1969 it was an independent community.
location
Reichenbach is located in the North Palatinate Uplands . Structurally, the place has grown together with the neighboring Reichenbachsteegen, so that a spatial separation is no longer possible. The stream of the same name flows through it, and the Limbach flows into it on site .
history
In 945 it is documented that Otto I gave the place Reichenbach to his vassal named Franko. At that time it consisted of six royal hooves . The ownership changed frequently. In 1291 the place belonged to the Count of Veldenz and later it became a sub-office of the Landvogtei in Speyergau . Subsequently, the place belonged to the Electoral Palatinate until the end of the 18th century .
From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Reichenbach was incorporated into the canton of Landstuhl and was the seat of a Mairie , which also included Gimbsbach , Limbach and Fockenberg , Matzenbach , Schwedelbach and Steegen included. In 1815 the place had 290 inhabitants. In the same year it was added to Austria . Just one year later, the place, like the entire Palatinate, changed to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 he was a member of the Homburg Land Commissioner ; from this the district office of Homburg emerged.
Since part of the district office - including Homburg itself - was added to the newly created Saar area in 1920 , the place moved to the newly created district office of Kaiserslautern and was administered by a district office branch located in Landstuhl until 1938 . From 1939 he was part of the Kaiserslautern district . After the Second World War , Fockenberg-Limbach became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . Reichenbach was an independent municipality until June 7, 1969 . In the course of the Rhineland-Palatinate administrative and territorial reform that began in the mid-1960s , the community of Reichenbach-Steegen was newly formed from Reichenbach with 652 inhabitants at that time and Reichenbachsteegen (427 inhabitants). Later Albersbach and Fockenberg-Limbach were incorporated.
