history
The Gäudorf Weingarten can look back on over 1200 years of history. It was first mentioned in 771 under the name Wingarda . The family of the Knights of Weingarten, documented since 1226 and extinct in 1685, comes from here . The remains of his castle , located northwest of today's village and destroyed in 1525, were removed in the 18th century. Today many street names still point to it, so there are u. a. a Ritter-von-Weingarten-Straße or a Straße Am Schlossberg. August Becker reports in his book The Palatinate and the Palatinate that in Weingarten, in the 17th century, the Electoral Palatinate clerk Beuerlin lived, who wrote the chronicle of King Dagobert of Little France, which was the “political bible ” of the Palatinate farmers at that time .
The local railway Speyer – Neustadt ran through Weingarten from the beginning of the 20th century to 1956 , between Freisbach and Weingarten the remains of a viaduct , which are under monument protection, can still be seen. The name of Bahnhofstrasse also bears witness to this time.
