Seitzweiler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seitzweiler is a district of Haupersweiler in the municipality of Freisen in the Saarland district of St. Wendel . Seitzweiler is not far from the border with Rhineland-Palatinate and connects immediately to the south of Haupersweiler. Seitzweiler is located in the Ostertal, directly on the right bank of the Oster , whose water used to be used by the Eller mill.

The height above sea level is 315 m. In Seitzweiler there is a sewage treatment plant with a catchment area of ​​3,400 inhabitants.

Seitzweiler, Hauptersweiler and Linxweiler are already mentioned in the 15th century.

Soon afterwards, the place, like most of the other towns of the "Kingdom", came into the possession of Nassau-Saarbrücken. In 1795 the area became French, in 1816 Seitzweiler came to the short-lived, Saxon-Coburg-Gotha principality of Lichtenberg before it became Prussian in 1834. Seitzweiler was always closely connected to Haupersweiler, which was also the responsible (Catholic) parish for the place.

Seitzweiler has a bus stop on the bus routes to Ottweiler, Kusel and St. Wendel and a stop on the Ostertalbahn , now a museum railway between Ottweiler and Schwarzerden. The viaduct in Seitzweiler is striking - a stilted, sandstone-clad round arch bridge with four arches, one of the largest bridge structures on the Ostertalbahn route, which spans the Oster Valley with a total length of 83 m and a height of 20 m.
