||
Reinig is a district of the municipality Wasserliesch in the district of Trier-Saarburg in Rhineland-Palatinate . Reinig is about 10 km upstream from Trier on the right bank of the Moselle . Reinig was always connected with Wasserliesch in a manorial and ecclesiastical way.
history
As a historical settlement with a ford and a ferry to the opposite place Igel , Reinig probably already had a certain importance in prehistoric times. The Romans also used the river crossing , because remnants of the old Roman road were found in the municipality, which, coming from the Saargau, led via Tawern and Konz to Trier a short distance away . From there there was a branch to Reinig.
Old houses in winding streets and cultural monuments attest to the local history, which extends far back into the past. An imposing two-part cross , the Reiniger Kreuz, with the year 1800 marks the historic entrance to the town. The Reiniger Chapel with a St. Nicholas figure above the entrance was built by the Reiniger citizens in the early 18th century as an " oratory for the common prayer of the rosary ". The skipper's cross at the former ferry pier, which was put together from the parts of two wayside shrines, is older . The upper part bears a crucifixion group and the year 1661, the lower part the year 1734 and a relief of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors.
From the 10th century until secularization , Reinig was a manorial estate , from 1569 with its seat in Igel , which resided in a " castle " on the banks of the Moselle. It also included the basic and middle court with a Meier and lay judges , which is common at a manor house . Until 1569, the rulership comprised the surrounding villages of Wasserliesch , Könen (now part of Konz), Liersberg (now part of Igel) and Igel . A good hundred years later, Könen is no longer mentioned, but the places Grevenich (now part of Langsur) and Rosport in Luxembourg.
From the castle, which was not a castle in the strict sense of the word, but a small fortified castle , only the corridor and street name “Auf der Burg” remained. However, remnants were repeatedly found during construction work, as was the case in 1912, when parts of an archway with the coat of arms of the last reign, the Lorraine Counts of Crichingen and Pittingen , were found. These fragments have not been preserved either; they are said to have been thrown into the Moselle to avoid difficulties with the monument protection authorities.
The abbot of Trier Abbey of St. Maximin belonged since the Middle Ages, the fourth part of the income of the "castle and glory" to be cleansed. In addition to the income from agriculture and viticulture, as well as the tithe and the income from the ferry, it should also have been shipping customs . It is documented that the Archbishop of Trier Boemund II of Saarbrücken had customs levied on passing ships in Reinig in the middle of the 14th century.
In 1440 the Reiniger Castle is said to have played a role during the so-called "Manderscheid'chen Feud" of the city of Trier, which had brought it into great distress at the time. At that time, Count Ulrich von Manderscheid tried to enforce his claim to the Trier bishopric by force of arms. When he wanted to settle in the "Schlösschen zu Reinig", the city of Trier intended to have it destroyed. However, the city fathers gave up after a wealthy citizen from the city of Trier vouched for the castle and its master at the time. When Ulrich von Manderscheid put his plan into action, he lost his property to the city, although Ulrich had no success with his action.
At the beginning of the 17th century, the rule of Reinig got into economic difficulties. Franz Ernst, Count of Crichingen, Baron of Pittingen, Cathedral Custodian of Trier, pledged the reigns of Reinig, Rosport and Pittingen, which belonged to him (both places are in Luxembourg), for 7,000 Reichstaler to the Carthusian monastery of St. Alban in Trier, which was later moved to Konz. But he or his successors could not redeem the pledge, so the property fell to the monastery at the end of the 18th century. Most recently, in 1766, the Empress Maria-Theresa of Austria (1717–1780) had confirmed possession of the monastery - in 1714 the Duchy of Luxembourg and with it the castle and rule of Reinig had been added to the Austrian Netherlands .
Nobody knows when the castle in Reinig was built and how long it was exactly. However, the Romans already used the Moselle crossing in Reinig and founded a settlement here that they called Reniche, Rinicha or something like that. It is very likely that during their rule there was already a fortification structure to control the movements of the ships, from which the castle and the Reinig Castle later emerged. In the first half of the 17th century, the building was completely destroyed during the Thirty Years War . This emerges from the inventory of the St. Alban Monastery from 1759. It says: “... item the Count's Schlohs Reinig was completely ruined and dilapidated in 1631, before the Carthaus took over the pledge, ahenitzo is a bad farmer's hut there with a garden” .
The Wasserliesch community was known as Wasserliesch-Reinig until the 1930s .
