history

The oldest document in which Wörth was mentioned comes from the year 1280. Settlers from the neighboring villages are likely to have settled in the meadow landscape and called the place "Werde" ("fenced in or others", alluding to its location on the water) Wise protected area "), later" Wörth ": island.

In 1628 the Wörther were forced by a flood disaster to give up their settlement and to settle in the desert of Forlach, to which they gave the name of their submerged place.

The places Wörth and Pfortz (later Maximiliansau) belonged to the Duchy of Pfalz-Zweibrücken and were subordinate to the office of Hagenbach . Büchelberg, Schaidt and the Bienwald, however, belonged to the Prince Diocese of Speyer , Lauterburg . At the end of the 17th century, sovereignty over parts of today's southern Palatinate, including Wörth with all of its current districts, passed to the Kingdom of France . With the French Revolution, the remaining sovereign rights of Zweibrücken expired, Wœrth-sur-le-Rhin - as it was called at the time - was fully incorporated into the Canton of Kandel . In 1815 Wörth came from France to Austria , in 1816 to Bavaria and in 1946 to Rhineland-Palatinate.

In 1864, Wörth received a train station on the Winden – Karlsruhe line , which was then opened between Winden and Maximiliansau. In 1876 the Schifferstadt-Wörth and Wörth-Strasbourg railway lines were opened.

The animal painter Heinrich von Zügel (1850–1941) trained artists from Germany and abroad in Wörth for decades . Wörth was therefore considered a "painter's village".

In 1960 Daimler AG bought space near Wörth and built a truck assembly plant there in the following years. In 1962, Mobil Oil bought land to build the Wörth refinery , which began production in 1970. In addition, the state built the Wörth state port, which was handed over in 1967.

Inspired by the industrial settlement, a new district ("Dorschberg") arose west of the old town of Wörth. In 1964 the land sold 30 hectares to the community in the Bienwald west of the Bienwaldsiedlung. In an urban planning competition, the concept of Albert Speer jr. through, which provided for a new city center there. In 1967 the land sold a further 32.5 hectares of Bienwald to the community, where mainly residential buildings were built until 1977. In 1967 the Dorschberg School was completed, which initially housed the grammar school until it moved into its own school building in 1970. In 1970/71 the town hall with underground car park, the indoor swimming pool, the public park and in 1973 the festival hall and the Catholic Church of St. Theodard were completed. Between 1974 and 1977 the Bienwaldhalle was built as a multi-purpose hall. In addition, two kindergartens were built.

With a deed dated May 14, 1977, the local community of Wörth am Rhein was elevated to a town. The then Prime Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate, Helmut Kohl, referred to Wörth in 1972 as the “calling card of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate” due to the rapid economic growth.

On June 30, 1996, Mobil-Oil closed the refinery. After the refinery had been dismantled and renovated by 2000, the city of Wörth bought the site back. From 2001 the Palm paper mill moved to the eastern part of the site. Other companies also settled here. Between 2005 and 2007, Daimler AG built a development and test center with a test track on Hafenstrasse, south of the former refinery.
