geography
Zell is located in the Zellertal valley named after him at about 235 m above sea level. NHN over the left bank of the Pfrimm , a left tributary of the Rhine , and opposite the confluence of the Ammelbach . The location on the steep southern slope of the 285.3 m high Osterberg protects to the north and creates a balanced climate . Mild south-westerly winds lead to incline precipitation with sufficient soil moisture.
history
Zell owes its name to Philip von Zell , who originally came from England and was later canonized . At the beginning of the 8th century he built his monastery cell ( Latin cellula ) at an old Wotan cult site , in which he died in 756. His work and his cellula were first mentioned in the year 850.
Philip's monastery cell grew in the course of time into a monastic settlement. From this, the Philipps-Stift was established in 975, the collegiate church of which was probably the oldest in the entire Palatinate . The lively pilgrimage to her established the status of a provost house , where a market was held twice a year from 1135 until the Reformation period . On September 5, 1553, the previously Catholic monastery was dissolved by the now Protestant elector and given to Heidelberg University for collection . The collegiate church fell into disrepair and completely disappeared; the bones of St. Philipp have been missing since then. When the rulers of the Palatinate returned to the Catholic denomination after 200 years, Elector Karl Theodor obliged the University of Heidelberg, which had received the entire financial gain from the dissolved monastery, to build a new parish and pilgrimage church in 1745. This is the baroque church of St. Philip that still exists today.

Both the monastery and the village of Zell have been attacked and looted several times in the course of history. The Hungarians came in 937 and 954. In 1622 the place suffered from the initial turmoil of the Thirty Years' War , in 1689 it was devastated in the Palatinate War of Succession . Until the end of the 18th century the place belonged to the Electoral Palatinate . In 1794 it was captured by troops from the French Revolution .
From 1798 to 1814, when the Palatinate was part of the French Republic (until 1804) and then part of the Napoleonic Empire , Zell was incorporated into the canton of Göllheim , formed a municipality with the neighboring Niefernheim and was subordinate to the Mairie Harxheim . From 1816, Zell and the entire Palatinate belonged to Bavaria . From 1818 to 1862, Zell was part of the Kirchheim Land Commissioner , which was then converted into a district office.
In 1939 the place was incorporated into the Kirchheimbolanden district. After the Second World War , Zell became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In 1947, the constitutional committee of the then young federal state met in the now listed Villa Golsen . In the course of the first Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform, the place changed on June 7, 1969 to the newly created Donnersbergkreis , three years later it was assigned to the also newly formed community of Göllheim . The wine-growing village was an independent municipality until the end of 1975 ; On January 1, 1976, it was merged with the neighboring communities of Harxheim and Niefernheim to form the newly created local community of Zellertal.
