history
Rheinstetten
Rheinstetten was founded on January 1, 1975 as part of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg. The three communities Forchheim , Mörsch and Neuburgweier merged to form the new "Rheinstetten community". After the municipality had risen to become the largest municipality in Baden-Württemberg without city rights in the 1990s (more than 20,000 inhabitants for the first time in 1993), it was granted city rights with effect from January 1, 2000 . However, the city did not apply for a major district seat until 2004. By resolution of the Baden-Württemberg Council of Ministers on September 14, 2004, Rheinstetten was raised to a major district town with effect from January 1, 2005 .
Districts
Forchheim
Forchheim was first mentioned in 1086 as Vorechheim in a deed of donation from Emperor Heinrich IV . Until around 1100 the settlement was the capital of the Ufgau, also known as the Forchheim county. The rule of the Forchheim-Malsch family was gradually withdrawn and the place fell to the diocese of Speyer in 1086 , then came to Margrave Hermann von Baden in 1102, then back to the county and in 1219 Margrave Hermann V of Baden Forchheim was given a fiefdom . The place then came to the Mühlburg office and fell to the Baden-Baden line when the country was divided in 1535 . Forchheim then belonged to the Ettlingen office and in 1921 came to the Karlsruhe district office, from which the Karlsruhe district emerged in 1938 . Since 1963, the headquarters of the Bruker Group , which operates worldwide with around 4,000 employees and primarily produces high-tech research equipment , has been located in the district of Silberstreifen . There is also a branch of the Agricultural Technology Center Augustenberg (LTZ). The State Institute for Pig Breeding (LSZ) was relocated to Boxberg .
In 2008, the LTZ carried out controversial release experiments with genetically modified maize from Monsanto . The field in question was occupied by environmental activists. The meat factory of EDEKA Südwestfleisch GmbH has been there since 2011.
Mörsch

Mörsch was in 940 in a deed of gift from Emperor Otto III. first mentioned to the diocese of Speyer as Meriske. Ministerials von Mörsch and the Ebersteiners ruled the place in the 12th century. Eventually the place came as a fief to Margrave Hermann VIII of Baden . He moved it to the Herrenalb monastery in 1306 , but was able to redeem it later. As early as 1291, partial ownership of the place came to the Weißenburg monastery , which owned the entire village from 1339. In 1350 Mörsch was finally near Baden and belonged to the Mühlburg office. When the country was divided in 1535, Mörsch fell to the Baden-Baden line and then belonged to the Ettlingen office. When it was dissolved in 1937, the place became part of the Karlsruhe district .
Neuburgweier
Neuburgweier was first mentioned in a document in 1219 in connection with a division of assets by the von Eberstein brothers. The place came from the Ebersteiners to the Electoral Palatinate in 1383 . In 1396 the name "Wilre", or "Weiler", appears in 1422 Neuburgweier. The place was always related to the city of Neuburg am Rhein and belonged to the Palatinate Office Hagenbach, Oberamt Germersheim. In the 16th century, Neuburgweier was geographically separated from Neuburg by a natural change in the course of the Rhine. In 1674 the place was occupied by the French and was ceded to France from 1682 to 1697. In 1707, the place came to the margraviate of Baden-Baden through an exchange for sponheimische possessions from the Electoral Palatinate and then belonged to the Ettlingen office. When it was dissolved in 1937, the place became part of the Karlsruhe district .

Religions
The districts of Rheinstetten originally belonged to the Speyer diocese . A church in Forchheim consecrated to St. Martin has been attested since 1408. It was also the mother parish church for Mörsch and the Daxlanden district, which is now part of Karlsruhe. The Weissenburg monastery owned the patronage rights and later the Schüpf taverns. In 1468 the rights came to the Speyer Cathedral Monastery via the Counts of Zweibrücken. As a result of their political affiliation to Baden-Baden, which did not introduce the Reformation , Forchheim and Mörsch remained Catholic for centuries. Neuburgweier was reformed by belonging to the Palatinate, but the French again enforced the Catholic creed.
Mörsch was probably its own parish since the High Middle Ages. Their patronage rights came from the Ebersteiners to the Margraves of Baden in 1567 . Neuburgweier belonged to the parish of Mörsch since the 15th century. In the 17th century the parishes of Forchheim and Mörsch (with Neuburgweier) were united, but separated again in 1907. Neuburgweier was only separated from Mörsch as a separate parish in 1962.
Today's parish church in Forchheim was built in 1857/58 by Johann Ludwig Weinbrenner. The “Maria Hilf” forest chapel (built in 1950/51) in Silberlinien belongs to the parish of Forchheim . The parish church of St. Ulrich in Mörsch was built in 1846/47 as an "early Christian basilica" instead of a previous building. The St. Ursula Chapel in Neuburgweier was first mentioned in 1495. In 1776 the nave was replaced and in 1871 the chapel was extended and rebuilt in a neo-Gothic style. In 1952, today's Catholic Church of St. Ursula was built in Neuburgweier. All three Catholic parishes have formed the "Catholic Pastoral Care Unit Rheinstetten" since September 18, 2005. This belonged to the dean's office in Ettlingen until 2008. Since the reform of the deanery, however, they have belonged to the Karlsruhe deanery of the Archdiocese of Freiburg .
Pastor Anton Fränznick, who died as a resistance fighter in the Dachau concentration camp , worked in Mörsch in the 1920s and 30s.
After the Second World War, Protestants also moved to what is now the district of Rheinstetten. They were initially cared for by the neighboring municipality of Durmersheim to the south. On January 1, 1972, the Evangelical Church Community Forchheim was established within the parish of Karlsruhe-Stadt of the Evangelical Church in Baden . On January 1, 1975, this was assigned to the newly founded church district Alb-Pfinz and renamed the Rheinstetten parish. In 1979 a second parish office was set up for the districts of Mörsch and Neuburgweier and in 1984 a parish of its own was founded. The Protestant community center Forchheim was built in 1972, the community center Mörsch followed in 1981. In Neuburgweier, the Protestants had received the old St. Ursula chapel since 1954 after the construction of the Catholic St. Ursula Church.
