Pleizenhausen is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis (district) in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde Simmern-Rheinböllen, whose seat is in Simmern. In 1098, Pleizenhausen had its first documentary mention in a directory of holdings kept by Saint Symeon’s Foundation at Trier. It can, however, be assumed that there was settlement within Pleizenhausen’s current limits much earlier, for to the southwest of the village, remnants of an old Roman villa rustica are still being found in the fields even now. Furthermore, roadbuilding work also brought to light stones from the Roman road whose existence had long been supposed. In 1251, King William II of Holland had an army camp at Pleizenhausen, whence he moved on to Boppard. In the time that followed, Pleizenhausen’s rulers changed often. In 1263, the Knights Eberhard of Sütersten sold Pleizenhausen’s wet meadow to the Kumbd Cistercian convent. The Counts of Sponheim shared the 24 fiefs with the Lords of Stein Kallenfels. Each was responsible for half the court cases, forfeits and crimes. In 1400, Count Palatine Rupprecht enfeoffed Dietmar of Reifenberg with the tithes from Pleizenhausen. In 1500, there were 20 farmsteads, and jurisdiction was shared among the Electorate of the Palatinate, Sponheim-Kastellaun, the Lords of Stein Kallenfels and the Schmidtburgs. More information...
