history

The remains of a Gallo-Roman settlement were discovered on the area around the noble house, which was of great importance as a station at the intersection of the Roman roads between Metz ( Divodurum ) and Worms ( Civitas Vangionum ) as well as Trier ( Augusta Treverorum ) and Strasbourg ( Argentoratum ) . Thus Schwarzenacker is likely to be the oldest part of today's district town of Homburg. The Gallo-Roman settlement emerged at the time of Emperor Augustus around the year 1 AD on an area of ​​25 to 30 hectares. It was destroyed by the Alemanni in 275/276 AD . According to writings by monks from the nearby Wörschweiler Monastery , it was said to have been the size of medieval Worms .

In 1965–1967 and 1980–1982, the remains of this settlement were uncovered during excavations. This was done by what was then the Saarland Conservatory Office , now the Saarland State Monument Office . After their restoration, they were turned into an open-air museum .

Culture and sights

Museums

The Roman Museum Schwarzenacker of the city of Homburg is located in Schwarzenacker . In the noble house designed by Jonas Erikson Sundahl near the Roman Museum, some works by the painter Johann Christian von Mannlich are exhibited, which were on view in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich until 2003 .

The city of Homburg offers civil marriages on Saturdays in the Christian von Mannlich Salon of the Edelhaus.

Buildings

In Schwarzenacker there are some remarkable buildings that are listed in the Saarland monuments list as individual monuments or as part of an ensemble . These include the Audenkellerhof ensemble located outside of the village , a courtyard from the 4th quarter of the 17th century, consisting of a residential building, barn with residential area and farm building . There is also the so-called Schwedenhof , a courtyard from 1723 with renovations in the 19th and 20th centuries and the Edelhaus , a manor from 1722. Both were designed by Jonas Erikson Sundahl.

The two sacred buildings of the village are also under monument protection , the Protestant Christ Church from 1958 to 1960 and the Catholic branch church of the Birth of the Virgin Mary from 1961 to 1962.

traffic

Schwarzenacker is crossed by the federal highway 423 . In addition, the place is affected by the A8 motorway, but does not have its own junction.

The regional bus line R7 runs every 30 minutes from Homburg main station via Schwarzenbach , Schwarzenacker and Einöd to Zweibrücken .

The Schwarzenacker station was with the completion of the 1857 Homburg-Zweibrücken railway line opened. As early as 1866, with the opening of the Würzbachbahn to Hassel and its connection to St. Ingbert a year later, the place became a railway junction. Passenger traffic was stopped in 1991 after the connection to Zweibrücken had already been closed in 1989. One possibility of reactivating the route to Zweibrücken is to extend the S-Bahn line 1 of the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN) via Homburg to Zweibrücken. The possible stop in Schwarzenacker would be only about 150 meters from the Roman Museum and the Edelhaus.
