||
Steingruben is a district of the local community Dielkirchen in the Rhineland-Palatinate Donnersbergkreis . Until 1969 it was an independent community.
location
The place is located in the northern Palatinate uplands north of the core community and is traversed by the Alsenz not far from the district boundary to Bayerfeld-Steckweiler . At the southern edge of the settlement area the Giebelsbach flows into the Alsenz.
history
In the Middle Ages, the place was initially part of the Stolzenberg rule . In the period that followed, this was jointly owned by the Counties of Falkenstein and Pfalz-Zweibrücken until the latter took over the rule. From 1782 it was again part of the Upper Austrian Upper Office of Winnweiler . From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Steingruben was incorporated into the canton of Rockenhausen . In 1815 the place belonged again to Austria . A year later it was slammed into Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862 Steingruben was part of the Kirchheim Land Commissioner , which was then converted into a district office. Around 1865 the village of Steingruben had 172 inhabitants and 39 buildings, 137 inhabitants were Protestant and belonged to the parish of Dielkirchen, the 35 Catholics were parish in Bayerfeld .
On December 1, 1900, the community moved to the newly created district office Rockenhausen . In 1928, Steingruben had 99 residents who lived in 25 residential buildings. Both the Catholics and the Protestants belonged to the parish of Dielkirchen at the time. From 1938 the place was part of the district of Rockenhausen . After the Second World War , Steingruben became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In 1961, as in 1928, 99 people lived there. In the course of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate, Steingruben was incorporated into the neighboring town of Dielkirchen on June 7, 1969. At the same time the place changed to the newly created Donnersbergkreis .
Infrastructure
The place consists of only two streets. With a residential building from 1821 and a portal from 1602 - both located in Alsenzstrasse - there are a total of two objects on site that are listed . The federal highway 48 runs through the village . Although the Alsenz Valley Railway, which opened in 1870 and 1871, passes the town, it never had a train stop. The nearest train stations Dielkirchen and Bayerfeld - Cölln were given up after the Second World War due to a lack of profitability. Immediately parallel to the railway line, the Alsenz cycle path runs west of it in a north-south direction .
Viticulture
Steingruben has a long winemaking tradition; Since 1971 the place has been part of the Nahe wine-growing region despite its location in the Palatinate . Even today there is still a local winemaker, the Hermann Steitz winery. On the single location Steckweiler Mittelberg, predominantly white wine is grown on an area of about six hectares. The vineyard is one of the last to be planted in Germany in the medieval spirit.
