history
Early days
Archaeological finds (fragments of urns, clay vessels, coins, lance tips, ax and hatchet, wall foundations) in the Rentrischer “Kirschgrund” and in the area of today's cemetery (1955) prove that people were already there in the period between 160 and 200 AD Area of today's Rentrisch lived.
middle Ages
The earliest documented mentions in the area of Rentrisch, which was part of the Ensheim ban for many centuries , concern the Spellenstein , the "Rauschenborn" and the Brudermühle. The Brudermühle is the oldest documented building.
The name “Rentrisch” is derived from the Middle High German word “ Triesch ”, which was used to describe an agriculturally unusable area, and the name of a nobleman, spoken and written as “Rainerus” or “Renner”. This nobleman donated his property in Rentrisch to the Wadgassen Abbey on May 25, 1152 (documented by Pope Eugene III ). Wadgassen Abbey, which was only founded in 1135, acquired the Ensheim area with the “brother mill” in 1264 from Saint-Avold Abbey .
In 1538 Wadgassen bought himself free from this lease. The name "Rennertriesch", from which today's Rentrisch originated, is only mentioned in documents from 1152, after the act of donation by nobleman Rainer (Renner) to the Wadgassen Abbey.
17./18. century
The Brudermühle, like the few existing buildings near the source of the Rauschenborn and the Spellenstein, was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War . The mill pond, the water-rich brook and the abundant forest around Rentrisch soon attracted people who ran a sawmill and later a hammer mill that worked until 1910 (Lottenhammer, founded by the Lehn, Gottbill and Loth families). Five waterwheels drove three iron hammers and three fresh-fire fans on it. They also earned their living as charcoal burners and smelters.
In exchange for an area of the same size in Warndt , the Nassau-Saarbrücken dominion acquired Rentrisch from the Wadgassen Abbey in 1762 .
19th century until today
At the end of the 19th century, the then independent towns and today's Saarbrücker districts of St. Johann and Malstatt-Burbach bought meadow land in Rentrisch and built waterworks there. The Saarbrücken waterworks, built in 1927, is still in operation today and maintains 16 wells.
The convenient location between St. Ingbert and Saarbrücken, in the middle of a forest area, made the village a popular place to live.
From 1957 Rentrisch had its own municipal administration. On January 1, 1974, the previously independent municipality of Rentrisch was incorporated into the city of St. Ingbert with four other municipalities as part of the Saarland territorial and administrative reform.
