Rudolphskirchen (also Rudolfskirchen) is a district of the Rathskirchen municipality in the Donnersbergkreis in Rhineland-Palatinate . Until 1969 it was an independent community.
location
The place is in the North Palatinate Uplands immediately northwest of the central town of Rathskirchen. The Nussbach flows through the settlement area . The Authenbach flows into this at the south-eastern edge of the settlement , which previously took up the Hahnenbach from the left .
history
Until the end of the 18th century, Rudolphskirchen belonged to the Reipoltskirchen rule , which was directly under the empire and was ultimately jointly owned by the Princes of Isenburg-Büdingen and the Counts of Hillesheim . At times the place was called Rutterskirchen and Rudelskirchen .
From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , the place was incorporated into the canton of Wolfstein . In 1815 the place first belonged to Austria . After the Congress of Vienna , it was added to Bavaria a year later . From 1818 to 1862, Rudolfskirchen - as it was spelled at the time - continued to belong to the canton of Wolfstein and was part of the Kusel Land Commissioner , which was then converted into a district office.
In 1928 Rudolphskirchen had 113 residents who lived in 26 residential buildings. The Protestants belonged to the parish of Rathskirchen, the Catholics to that of Reipoltskirchen. From 1939 the place was part of the district of Kusel . After the Second World War , Rudolphskirchen became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate , the previously independent municipality of Rudolphskirchen (then 80 inhabitants) was dissolved on June 7, 1969 and together with the neighboring municipality of Rathskirchen (178 inhabitants), which was also dissolved, today's local municipality Rathskirchen was re-established. On March 16, 1974, the place changed to the Donnersbergkreis , which had been newly created five years earlier .
