Research Tips

Years ago, Eichloch's name was changed to ROMMERSHEIM. It has maybe about 500 people and is located about 15 miles southwest of the city of MAINZ in the present-day German state of RHINELAND-PALATINATE (in German: RHEINLAND-PFALZ) in the region of RHINE-HESSEN (in German: RHEINHESSEN) in the Administrative District (in German: Kreis) of ALZEY-WORMS. Just a few years ago, Rommersheim was annexed by the nearby town of WÖRRSTADT. Wörrstadt (or, without the Umlaut, Woerrstadt) has about 7300 people. So if you want to find Eichloch, you have to look for Wörrstadt on a modern map. Until 1945, Rhine-Hessen, which included the city of Mainz, was part of the state of HESSEN-DARMSTADT (which, until 1918, was a Grand Duchy). Following World War II, the Palatinate (in German: Pfalz), which up until 1945 was governed as part of Bavaria, the southern half of the Prussian Rhine Province, and Hessen-Darmstadt's region of Rhine-Hessen were combined to form the new state of Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz). At the same time, the state of Hessen-Darmstadt, minus Rhine-Hessen, and the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau were combined to form the new state of HESSEN.
