history

The Staudernheim district was already populated in pre-Christian and Roman times due to its favorable conditions such as fertile soil, mild climate and good traffic.

A Celtic-Roman cult site stood on the nearby Disibodenberg . A Roman road passed near Lettweiler and Bad Sobernheim . After the collapse of the Roman Empire in the 5th century and the turmoil of the Great Migration , Franks settled in the Nahe region.

In the 5th and 6th centuries, the Merovingians donated lands on the Disibodenberg to the diocese of Mainz . A Franconian named "Studaro" founded a settlement from which the place developed since the 6th century.

Around the year 640 the Irish monk and missionary Disibod settled on the Disibodenberg, which was later named after him. The baptistery built on the mountain by Bishop Bonifatius in 745 above the grave of St. Disibod became the starting point for the missionary work in the vicinity.

Staudernheim was ecclesiastically and administratively under the care of the monastery and the Mainz archbishopric. Until the abolition of the monastery in 1559, the history of the village was closely linked to that of the monastery. The place name first appeared in 1107. In church sources the village is called “Studernheim” in 1128 and 1146. The oldest surviving court seal from the 15th century shows St. Laurentius as the local saint.

In 1240–1242 there were disputes between the Archdiocese of Mainz and the nobility of the Middle Kingdom. The decline and impoverishment of the monastery and thus of the village followed. Around 1200, the Rheingrafen , the later local rule, owned a farm in Staudernheim. The first bridge over the Nahe is mentioned as early as 1265. The southern half of Oberstreit belonged to the Staudernheim district since at least 1305.

In the following centuries, other nobles also had property and claims to power in Staudernheim, so u. a. the Knights of Sponheim , the Wild and Rhine Counts , the Knights of Steinkallenfels and the Bailiffs of Hunolstein . Up to 1601 3/8 of the local rule came to the knights of Steinkallenfels and in 1778 to the bailiffs of Hunolstein as their heirs; only 5/8 owned the Wild- and Rheingrafen.

In 1515 a mayor is named as the mayor. The Lutheran creed, to which 2/3 of the population still belong today, was introduced by the Rhine Counts around 1550 .

In the Thirty Years' War a Catholic parish was established again in 1620. For the Catholic community prince had Johann Dominik of Salm-Kyrburg in the years 1768-70 his architect Johann Thomas Petri , the present parish church "St. John the Baptist ”and build a parsonage, which was initially subordinate to the Kirner Piarist College.

With the French Revolution , the princely rule in the vicinity came to an end. The French who occupied the country created a new administration. Staudernheim came to Mairie Meddersheim in 1798 . After the end of French rule (1814), the village came to Hessen-Homburg in 1816 . From 1816 to 1834 the Nahe and the district border against Odernheim were the state and customs border to Bavaria . In the years 1846–50 the stone "Landgrave Bridge" was built over the Nahe, replacing the old bridge from 1265.

Since the connection to the railway network in 1859, the development has increased. From 1896 there was a track to the Glantalbahn , the so-called "Strategic Railway".

In 1866 Staudernheim and the Landgraviate of Hesse-Homburg were initially subordinated to the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt and then ceded to Prussia ; since 1869 it belonged to the new mayor's office in Meddersheim.

After the First World War , Staudernheim and the western Rhineland were occupied by French troops in 1918, which withdrew again in 1930. In 1935 Staudernheim came to Sobernheim administratively.

The site survived the Second World War largely undamaged. The Nahe Bridge, which was blown up at the end of the war, was rebuilt in 1948.

The originally agricultural population increasingly works in industrial and commercial enterprises in Bad Sobernheim , Bad Kreuznach and in the Rhine Valley.

In the 1950s, the village was connected to the drinking water supply (previously a well supply), and in the 1960s the place received a sewer system.

Staudernheim is nowadays a residential and recreational area that cultivates tourism.
