The hamlet of Schwabenheim (also Schwabenheimer Hof ) is a district of the municipality of Dossenheim in the Rhein-Neckar district ( Baden-Württemberg ).

geography

Schwabenheim is located in the eastern Upper Rhine Plain on the Neckar . The area around the hamlet is mainly used for agriculture, while in the entire municipality of Dossenheim agricultural areas only make up around 32.1 percent of the district.

Just a few hundred meters upstream is the Schwabenheim lock , where the ships entering the Wieblingen side canal are raised by 8.7 meters. About half a kilometer to the northeast, the former Roman road leads past Ladenburg , the Lopodunum of Roman times. Edingen is opposite Schwabenheim on the left side of the Neckar .

history

The mountain road is a very old and treasured settlement area and one finds there many remains of an early settlement, so also in Dosse home and Swabia home. With the conquest of the areas east of the Rhine by the Romans , a military facility was built near Schwabenheim in the area of Schwabeck Castle.

Schwabenheim was first mentioned in a document in June 763 in a donation to the Fulda monastery , when a Waluram donated his property in Schwabenheim. A Sigewin appears among the witnesses, who also played a role in the Lorsch Codex when the surrounding towns of Dossenheim and Handschuhsheim were first mentioned in the following years. In the centuries that followed, the Lorsch Monastery was particularly wealthy .

Little is known about Schwabeck Castle, which is located upstream, it was probably a fiefdom of the Worms Cathedral monastery , which also owned Schwabenheim. The nobles sitting there, who presumably took water tolls from shipping on the Neckar , called themselves von Schwabenheim . A Cunradus Suabenheim appears in a document from the Schönau monastery in 1217. In the early 14th century the castle was the seat of the Lords of Erligheim . In 1515 Hans von Erligheim sold the Vogtei and castle of Schwabenheim to Heinrich VII. Von Handschuhsheim .

In the High Middle Ages the old village of Schwabenheim was abandoned. This probably happened through the Cistercian monastery Schönau , which was equipped with the property at that time; Similar can be traced back to other branches of the monastery. The village and castle have also been threatened by the Neckar floods since the very beginning; the castle was finally destroyed by ice and floods in the 16th century . Around 700 meters from the old village, the Schwabenheimer Hof was built up to the present day .

After the extinction of the Lords of Handschuhsheim in 1600, who last owned around three quarters of the Schwabenheim district partly as a private property, partly as a fief, there were complicated ownership relationships and long legal disputes between the Electoral Palatinate and the cathedral monastery of Worms. In 1701 the cathedral monastery renounced its feudal sovereignty and the Electoral Palatinate came into the possession of the feudal estates. With the dissolution of the Electoral Palatinate in 1803, Schwabenheim, like the neighboring towns, came to Baden .

From the end of the 19th century there were efforts to dissolve Schwabenheim as an independent municipality. On January 1, 1925, the incorporation to Dossenheim was completed.

During the Neckar canalization in the 1920s, remains of the old village were found, and at the same time the last remains of the castle foundation disappeared. In 1953, the Schwabenheim lock , which was built between 1923 and 1925, was expanded to include a second lock chamber. The Windhof settlement was built on the Neckar Island between the lock and the power station from 1922 .
