10_0	Niederhausen is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of
10_1	collective municipality – in the Bad Kreuznach district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It
10_2	belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Rüdesheim, whose seat is in the like-named town. Niederhausen is
10_3	a state-recognized tourism community (Fremdenverkehrsort) and a winegrowing village.
10_4	Geography
10_5	Location
10_6	At an elevation of 150 m above sea level, Niederhausen lies on the Nahe where it marks the division
10_7	between the outlying edge of the Hunsrück and the North Palatine Uplands. The village lies on a
10_8	south-facing slope on a reach of the river that is dammed up and consequently 120 m wide.
10_9	Neighbouring municipalities
10_10	Clockwise from the north, Niederhausen's neighbours are the municipalities of Hüffelsheim and
10_11	Norheim, the town of Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg and the municipalities of Feilbingert,
10_12	Oberhausen an der Nahe and Schloßböckelheim, all of which likewise lie within the Bad Kreuznach
10_13	district.
10_14	Constituent communities
10_15	Also belonging to Niederhausen are the outlying homesteads of Hermannshöhle and Ehemalige
10_16	Weinbaudomäne (“Former Winegrowing Domain”).
10_17	History
10_18	In 1238, Niederhausen had its first documentary mention. It is, however, certain that this place
10_19	was already settled by Roman times (about AD 200), bearing witness to which are various
10_20	archaeological finds. Niederhausen belonged as an Electoral Mainz fief to the Counts of Veldenz,
10_21	and the first documentary mention renders its name Unters Husen. The last of the Counts of Veldenz,
10_22	namely Friedrich III, died in 1444. His daughter Anna married King Ruprecht's son Count Palatine
10_23	Stephan. By uniting his own Palatine holdings with the now otherwise heirless County of Veldenz –
10_24	his wife had inherited the county upon her father's death in 1444, but not his comital title – and
10_25	by redeeming the hitherto pledged County of Zweibrücken, Stephan founded a new County Palatine, as
10_26	whose comital residence he chose the town of Zweibrücken: the County Palatine of Zweibrücken, later
10_27	Duchy Palatinate-Zweibrücken. Beginning then, the village belonged to this state, and in 1768 it
10_28	passed by partition to Electoral Palatinate. Niederhausen thus long belonged to states ruled by the
10_29	House of Wittelsbach. In the time of the French Revolution, the village was absorbed, along with
10_30	all the German lands on the Rhine’s left bank, into the French state. Niederhausen lay in the new
10_31	Canton of Kreuznach, the Arrondissement of Simmern and the Department of Rhin-et-Moselle. Under the
10_32	terms of the Congress of Vienna, on 28 May 1815, Niederhausen passed to the Kingdom of Prussia.
10_33	Borderstones marking the former boundary between this state and the neighbouring Kingdom of Bavaria
10_34	can still be seen along Niederhausen’s southern limit. In the years 1926-1928, the Wasserkraftwerke
10_35	Niederhausen GmbH built a hydroelectric power station right near the village. The weir, made up of
10_36	three spans, near the former railway station backs the water up so that it will flow along a
10_37	760 m-long channel to the power station. In the course of administrative restructuring in
10_38	Rhineland-Palatinate, Niederhausen was grouped into the Verbandsgemeinde of Bad Münster am
10_39	Stein-Ebernburg in 1969. From the Middle Ages right up to about 1880, there was much prospecting
10_40	around Niederhausen in the volcanic rock for copper and even silver.
10_41	Population development
10_42	Niederhausen’s population development since Napoleonic times is shown in the table below. The
10_43	figures for the years from 1871 to 1987 are drawn from census data:
10_44	Religion
10_45	As at 30 November 2013, there are 572 full-time residents in Niederhausen, and of those, 326 are
10_46	Evangelical (56.993%), 150 are Catholic (26.224%), 1 belongs to the Palatinate State Free Religious
10_47	Community (0.175%), 10 (1.748%) belong to other religious groups and 85 (14.86%) either have no
10_48	religion or will not reveal their religious affiliation.
10_49	Politics
10_50	Municipal council
10_51	The council is made up of 12 council members, who were elected by majority vote at the municipal
10_52	election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.
10_53	Mayor Niederhausen's mayor is Christine Mathern.
10_54	Coat of arms
10_55	The German blazon reads: Das Wappen zeigt einen blauen Rundschild mit drei goldenen Trauben und
10_56	goldenen Weinstockblättern, darüber eine goldene Krone.
10_57	The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Azure three bunches
10_58	of grapes each slipped and leafed of one fixed in triangle Or, in chief a crown of the same adorned
10_59	with rubies.
10_60	On 5 October 1950, Niederhausen was granted approval by the Rhineland-Palatinate Minister of the
10_61	Interior to bear arms. It may well be one of the few coats of arms in Rhineland-Palatinate that so
10_62	clearly expresses a winegrowing village's character. Moreover, it shows the importance and standing
10_63	that are accorded the Qualitätswein made here. All this is represented by the main charge, the
10_64	three bunches of grapes. The other charge, the crown in chief (the uppermost level of the shield)
10_65	refers not only to the village's former patron saint Mechtildis, whose crown also appeared in the
10_66	old court seal, but also to the marketing slogan for the Nahe wine region: Nahewein – Ein Edelstein
10_67	(“Nahe wine – a precious stone”). The connection, however, is lost in the translation. The crown is
10_68	held to remind one of the Edelstein, as this German word for “precious stone” literally means
10_69	“noble stone”.
10_70	Culture and sightseeing
10_71	Buildings
10_72	The following are listed buildings or sites in Rhineland-Palatinate’s Directory of Cultural
10_73	Monuments:
