Abenheim (pronunciation ˈaːbn haʏm , in dialect ˈoːvərʊm ) is the northwesternmost district of the Rhineland-Palatinate city ​​of Worms . It is nine kilometers from the city center.

history

Abenheim can look back on an archaeologically founded settlement since the Neolithic Age . Finds from the time of the Stone Age hunters, Germanic tribes, Romans, Burgundians and Franks, the latter being the founders of Abenheim, provided the proof. The noble Franconian Abo gave Abenheim his name as the “home of the Abo”. The place in southern Wonnegau is mentioned in a document with a deed of donation from the Racher dated December 29, 774 in the Lorsch Codex over three meadows. From 1390 to 1797 the local lords were those of Dalberg . The Amthof (Zehnthof), built in 1556, is said to have been built with stones from a castle or the castle gin.

In a railway accident on July 24, 1954, a bus was hit by a train at an open level crossing on the Worms – Gundheim railway line between Herrnsheim and Abenheim. 25 people died.

Administrative affiliation

During the so-called French period (1798 to 1814), Abenheim belonged to the arrondissement of Mainz in the Donnersberg department , while the municipality of Abenheim formed its own mairie within the canton of Bechtheim . Like the entire region on the left bank of the Rhine, Abenheim was administered from 1814 to 1816 by the Austrian / Bavarian Community Provincial Administration Commission . On the basis of the resolutions made at the Congress of Vienna (1815), the region was assigned to the Grand Duchy of Hesse , on July 6, 1816, the ownership took place, the canton allocation remained in the province of Rheinhessen for the time being, the now Rhenish Hessian canton of Bechtheim, to which Abenheim belonged Renamed in 1822 in Canton Osthofen. In 1835 the administration in Rheinhessen was reorganized, Abenheim came to the Worms district , which was renamed the Worms district in 1938. In 1946 Abenheim became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate .

On June 7, 1969 Abenheim was incorporated into Worms.
