history

Before the settlement was founded

In the 13th century the song from the rose garden in Worms was created , in which the saga of the Nibelungenlied is linked with the Thidrek saga . Kriemhild's legendary "rose garden" near Worms was moved by the poet to the area that is today the district. The oldest surviving documentary mention of the place comes from 1422, when Elector Ludwig III. acquired this together with Kirschgartshausen from the Kirschgarten Monastery in Worms . Etymologically , another interpretation of the name is also conceivable. In 1524 the rose garden is listed as an imperial fiefdom, "so a bishop of Worms arrives to fief from the Keysser". A “Roßgarten”, a horse pasture, can be associated with this fiefdom.

The oak forest, which is rich in game and which is already mentioned in the Nibelungenlied, was used primarily for electoral hunts in the 18th century. This forest was completely cut down after 1789.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Rosengarten in 1829:

»Rosengarten (L. Bez. Heppenheim) Rheinau; belongs to Lampertheim, consists of fields and some forest and is stately. The floodplain lies behind the main dam. Because of the fishing water and because of the customs house there, there was previously a protracted argument with Churpfalz. "

For the year 1845 there are two entries in the latest and most thorough alphabetical lexicon of all localities in the German federal states :

  1. »Rosengarten b. Lampertheim - Wirthshaus on the Rhine crossing to Worms, belonging to the parish of Lampertheim. 1 house, 9 inhabitants. Grand Duchy of Hesse, Starkenburg Province, Heppenheim District, Landger. Lorsch, Court of Darmstadt "
  2. »Wormser Fahrthaus b. Lampertheim - Wirthshaus "zum Rosengarten" on the right bank of the Rhine, to the evangel. Parish of Lampertheim. 1 house, 8 inhabitants, Grand Duchy of Hesse, Starkenburg Province, Heppenheim district. Landger. Lorsch, Darmstadt Court. "

In the alphabetical directory of residential places in the Grand Duchy of Hesse. For Rosengarten, a tavern from Lampertheim with 22 inhabitants in 2 houses is given in 1867.

The infantry regiment "Prinz Carl" , which was stationed in Worms, used part of the rose garden as a parade ground and a shooting range in the period before the First World War.

Settlement establishment and territorial reforms

Since the 1920s there were plans to drain and reclaim the Hessian Ried . Based on these plans and on the Reichserbhofgesetz (Reichserbhofgesetz) of 1933, so-called hereditary farm villages were built under the National Socialist rule , including Rosengarten in the then Bensheim district . On April 25, 1937 the foundation stone was laid for the Rosengarten settlement , as the new village was officially called. It was created in parts of the Lampertheim, Bürstadt , Hofheim and Maulbeeraue districts . The settlement was inaugurated on October 3, 1937 and at the same time incorporated into the city of Worms along with its immediate surroundings.

During the Hessian district reform on November 1, 1938, the nine communities Bobstadt , Bürstadt , Groß-Hausen , Hofheim , Klein-Hausen , Lampertheim and Lorsch were reclassified from the dissolved district of Bensheim to the district of Worms; at the same time Worms became an independent city .

In the final phase of World War II , American troops crossed the Rhine south of Worms in the first hours of March 26, 1945 and took possession of the village of Rosengarten that night. In the early hours of the morning they marched into Bürstadt and advanced on Reichsstrasse 47 in the direction of Lorsch. On March 27, the American units were in Lorsch, Bensheim and Heppenheim and a day later Aschaffenburg am Main and the western and northern parts of the Odenwald were occupied.

With the redistribution of the federal states by the victorious powers of World War II after 1945, Rheinhessen came west of the Rhine first to the French occupation zone and then to the newly formed federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate . The areas on the right bank of the Rhine in the city of Worms and the district of Worms, which were now in the American occupation zone, were reclassified to the Bergstrasse district in the state of Hesse. Rosengarten came under the administration of Bürstadt.

The new formation of the municipality of Rosengarten (Bergstrasse district) was determined by a decree of January 12, 1951 with retroactive effect to October 16, 1945. This community was on 1 October 1971 at the course of municipal reform in Hesse on a voluntary basis, the city Lampertheim incorporated . Today, Rosengarten forms a local district with a local advisory board and a local councilor .

In 1961 the size of the district was given as 745  hectares , of which 3 hectares were forest.

The Ernst Ludwig Bridge on a postcard from 1902; View from the east

The Ernst Ludwig Bridge (now called the Nibelungen Bridge) was the road bridge over the Rhine to Worms , built from 1897 and inaugurated on March 26, 1900, named after the Grand Duke of Hessen-Darmstadt as sovereign. It had three arches made of iron truss with elevated roadway, which were built by the MAN plant in Gustavsburg .

In December 1900 the railway bridge Rheinbrücke Worms was opened over the Rhine to Worms. A continuous train connection was thus achieved. The previous end point of the Riedbahn in the Rosengarten station and the Rhine crossing by means of a trajectory became superfluous.

The Hessian long-distance cycle route R6 leads through Rosengarten.
