Birkenheide is a municipality in the Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis, in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany and is part of the Verbandsgemeinde Maxdorf.

Geography

Birkenheide is located about 10 kilometers west of Ludwigshafen in the Palatinate. Adjacent communities - clockwise starting north - are Weisenheim am Sand, Lambsheim, Maxdorf, Fußgönheim, Ellerstadt, Bad Dürkheim and Erpolzheim.

History

In 1936, the Großsiedlung Hundertmorgen was built on a stretch of land by the German Labor Front, where Eyersheim had been located before it was abandoned. The settlement had 528 people and was initially managed by Weisenheim am Sand. In 1939, the settlement was expanded by the development of today's town center with larger one- and two-family houses. In 1946, the population had grown to about 1200, mainly by immigrants and refugees who were housed in makeshift shelters in the northeast of the village.

On 1 October 1952 the settlement became the independent municipality Birkenheide. Its first mayor was Albertine Scherer. Soon a separate elementary school, kindergartens, a fire station and other communal facilities were built. The temporary housing facilities were replaced between 1964 and 1970 by blocks of flats and houses.

In 1970 Birkenheide made an incorporation agreement with Ludwigshafen, however this was rejected by Maxdorf and the Rhineland-Palatinate government. A subsequent lawsuit was unsuccessful.[3] In 1983, the village community house was built.[4]

Religion

The Protestant church, the Lukaskirche, was built in 1951 due to a post-war emergency church program and was designed by Otto Bartning.[5] As the church remained relatively unchanged, it has been listed as a Kulturdenkmal.[6]

The first Catholic church was built in 1968, but was replaced by the new church of St. Josef in 1995. The building includes meeting and youth rooms.[7]

On October 31, 2014, 36.079% of the population was Protestant, 28.321% Catholic, 3.522% had other religions, and 32.088% undenominational or unspecified.[8]
