The Rhenish or Lower Palatinate (Ger. Rheinpfalz or Niederpfalz), often called simply the Palatinate, is a district (c.2,100 sq mi/5,440 sq km) of the state
of Rhineland-Palatinate (Ger. Rheinland-Pfalz). The Rhenish Palatinate extends from the left bank of the Rhine and borders in the S on France and in the W
on the Saarland and Luxembourg. Neustadt an der Weinstrasse is the capital; Ludwigshafen, Kaiserslautern, Pirmasens, and Speyer are the chief cities. It
is a rich agricultural region, famed for its wines. The Upper Palatinate (Ger. Oberpfalz) is a district (c.3,725 sq mi/9,650 sq km) of NE Bavaria, separated in
the east from the Czech Republic by the Bohemian Forest. Regensburg is the capital. Agriculture and cattle raising are the chief occupations.
The name of the two regions came from the office known as count palatine, a title used in the Holy Roman Empire to denote the secular prince who ruled a
region in the absence of the Holy Roman Emperor; the title was used in other European countries during the medieval and early modern periods. Rights of
office varied, but in general the palatine had superior judicial functions and enjoyed privileges superior to those of other nobles.
After Napoleon's defeat in 1815, the Congress of Vienna granted the majority of the east-bank lands to Bavaria and a territory called Rheinhessen including
the economically-vital cities of Mainz and Worms to Hesse-Darmstadt. Rheinhessen was at that time one of the three provinces of the Grandduchy of
Hessen, the other two being Starkenburg and Oberhessen. Mainz, west of the Rhine river, was the provincial capital.
In Bavaria, which was not territorially contiguous with its new property, the territory was first known as the Königlich Bayrischen Lande am Rhein. After
1836, it was known as the Bayrische Pfalz. After 1838 it was known variously as the Rheinpfalz (Palatinate) or Rheinbayern or simply Pfalz. This state had
its capital at Speyer (SHPY-er) located west of the Rhine river.
The west-bank lands went to Prussia, and were joined to Prussia's east bank possessions to form the Prussian Rheinprovinz [Rhine Province] in 1824.
Prussia annexed nearby Nassau and Meisenheim in 1866 and the Rhineland became the most prosperous area of the new German nation following its
formation in 1871.
What Paris means to France Kaiserlautern means to the Pfalz: the centre of
attraction and centre point of an otherwise rural province.
So what is it about Kaiserslautern? Its traditional bars, idyllic squares, and
vibrant cultural scene? It’s stayed young thanks to the many students, but is
steeped in history. Heroes like Barbarossa, whose Kaiserpfalz still fascinates
todays visitors, or Johann Casimir, better known as "Jäger aus Kurpfalz“ (the
hunter of kurpfalz) have left their mark.
Does kilometer northeasterly of Kaiserslautern watch, she/it from the villages Baalborn,
Neukirchen, lies waiter- and Niedermehlingen in the run of the centuries of grown together
community Mehlingen, that leads a blue-dressed corner cap bearer, who raises a white mace in
the right hand, in the golden field of the community coats of arms on green ground since 1936.
The young coat of arms wants to remind of the men and later Federal counts of waits Wartenberg,
this as Reichsministerialen and followers of the Staufer in the 12. Century from the "terre imperii"
around the palatinate in loud the connection with the Alzeyer area held.
In all, in the present-day "Mehlingen", this known aristocracy sex was risen communities until the
outbreak of the French revolution affluent; in Mehlingen, the wait salvors occupied the
Ortsherrschaft away over centuries, but the originators of the village were not it.
After the local area was walked on already in the Neoiithikum, a beautiful neolithic ax was found on
the troop practice place near the Fröhnerhof, numerous findings from the Hallstatt and Roman
time allow the end on an already at that time took place, very early settling.
Although the place Mehlingen appears in written sources for the first time in 1257, he/it is to be
assumed for essentially older, however, and could absolutely have been established in the time of
the Franconian acquisition of land of the 6. century. Indisputably, Mehlingen with Rüssingen,
Herfingen, hears Höringen to the connection places", that to this the bridge of the Aitsiedeiland in
the Rhine level, -ingen and -home-locates in the SaarBlies-Lothringen-Region beat and
developed as "relay stations" close to the old Roman streets of Mainz and Worms over
Kaisersiautern after Metz.
The present-day Ortsteil "Neukirchen" is significantly younger anyway, that on the clearance
settlement of "dwindled" of the cloister ' otter mountain can be led back and 1185 as is covered
authentically "at the new church" for the first time. Did our entire area still lie itself in the
intersection at that time overlapping power? and circles. In der sogenannten "Waldmark" hatten
die Parteigegner der Staufer bereits im frühen 12. Brought century the regional extension driven in
particular by the stauferfeindlichen counts by Saarbrücken to standing.
Also the foundation of the cloisters Otterberg and Enkenbach is in this big Federal-political context
to be seen, that meet beside the wait salvors as basic men in Mehiingen likewise. In the 13. The
men of loves mountain in Mehlingen furthermore still were affluent century. The different
development of Neukirchen and Mehlingen is especially notably. The first-named village still
considered 1454 one of the so-called "Bütteiamt", that like probably all districts in the old Federal
country in jam-fishes time can be backdated. Later, it heard head office loud to the Kurpfälzischen
and formed 1576 together with Baaiborn a juror court, whose seal is traditional from the year 1682.
in contrast to both places, Mehlingen - as well as waiters - remained, as always also of
Niedermehlingen - until the outbreak of the French revolution wartenbergisch. The original
Ortskern of Mehlingen lay doubt-freely on that occasion until the thirty year old war with the
present-day Niedermehlingerhof.
In the war storms of that moved time, the village was invaded by plundering soldier hordes many
times, could recover no more from the war damages and sank in the consequence time to the
insignificant shepherd settlement - today Niedermehlingerhof -.
An economic and population-political upward development of the three Ortsteile actually began
only about the change of the 18. to the 19. Century, in the so-called "French time" (1792-1814), with
the construction of the "emperor street" (today B 40), that led from Kaiserslautern to Mainz. After the
old territorial borders were removed, the present-day Ortsteil Neukirchen belonged to the Mairie
Alsenborn in the canton Kaiserslautern with Enkenbach until 1814, during Mehlingen with
Baalborn a Mairie in the canton Otterberg formed. Neukirchen and Baalborn then were
subordinated in Bavarian time (1818) as independent communities of the Bürgermeisterei
Mehlingen. In the year 1939, the organizational union to a political community then took place,
however 1949, Baalborn retired from this big community on the other hand and remained
independent until 1969.
