Leiselheim is a district of the city of Worms about four kilometers northwest of the core city . Originally a purely agricultural area, Leiselheim is now mainly a residential area close to the city, although 40% of the district area is still used for viticulture.

geography

Leiselheim located on the north edge of the Pfrimmtals , at the transition from the flood plain for fertile loess riedel . Since the end of the 19th century, the west-east-facing street village has been expanded to include the flood-prone Pfrimmaue as well as to the edge of the Riedel. In the east, Leiselheim borders - separated by a 500 m wide green caesur - on Worms-Hochheim. To the south, beyond the Pfrimmau, is Worms-Pfiffligheim, to the west, about 1 km away, is Worms-Pfeddersheim. The ridge north of the village is dominated by the Worms Clinic and the new building areas belonging to Worms-Herrnsheim.

history

Leiselheim was first mentioned in 1141 in two documents from Worms Bishop Burchard II of Ahorn under the name "Luzilheim". The exact meaning of "Luzil-" is unknown, a derivation of Middle High German "lützel" (small) is assumed, whereby this can refer to the relatively small district as well as to a personal name "Luizilo".

Originally, Leiselheim belonged to the Worms Cathedral Monastery , which later gave the village to the Stauf rulership as a fief . In 1388 these sovereign rights passed to the Counts of Sponheim-Bolanden and in 1393 to the Counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken . In a contract concluded in 1427, the diocese of Worms and the Counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken shared ownership rights to Leiselheim and eight other villages. When the Nassau-Saarbrücken part came to the Electoral Palatinate in 1683 and 1706, the Electoral Palatinate passed its rights on to the diocese of Worms, which was the only owner of Leiselheim. In 1794, the village was occupied by French troops during the coalition wars. In 1815/16 Leiselheim was then assigned to the Grand Duchy of Hesse .

On April 1, 1942, Leiselheim was incorporated into Worms together with Herrnsheim , Horchheim and Weinsheim .

Mayor

When Leiselheim still belonged to the Electoral Palatinate, the community was administered by an Unterfauth; they were also called mayors in town. During the period in which Leiselheim was French territory (Napoleon's time from 1798), the "Maire" , i.e. the mayor, was elected and appointed according to the French model. This title remained with the successors until the incorporation on April 1, 1942: From this date there was the mayor with a local advisory board, which of course also had less powers.
