**Queichheim** (German pronunciation: [\[ˈkvaɪçhaɪm\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Standard_German)) is a [quarter](/source/Quarter_(country_subdivision)) of [Landau in der Pfalz](/source/Landau_in_der_Pfalz) in the German state of [Rhineland-Palatinate](/source/Rhineland-Palatinate). Queichheim, with about 3,100 inhabitants as of 2004, is located east of the railroad line from [Karlsruhe](/source/Karlsruhe) to [Neustadt](/source/Neustadt_an_der_Weinstra%C3%9Fe), south of the [Queich](/source/Queich) River, and it borders on the inner city.

## History

Queichheim's former coat of arms

Queichheim was presumably founded by a [Frank](/source/Franks) named *Cogich*, *Cogin* or *Cogo*, since old manuscripts from the abbey at [Weißenburg](/source/Wissembourg) from the 7th century always mention Cogichheim or Cogisheim. It is almost certain that they refer to today's Queichheim.

Stone coffins found during excavation for today's [Evangelical](/source/Protestantism) church in 1769 indicate that the area was settled in the time of the [Merovingians](/source/Merovingian) (7th to 8th century). Later, the name mentioned above, which had no significance to the inhabitants, was changed to Queichheim (village on the Queich).

The oldest documents record the gift of the *Daumühlen* near Queichheim from the Bishop [Guntram](/source/Guntram) of [Speyer](/source/Speyer) to the monastery of [Hördt](/source/H%C3%B6rdt). One hundred years later, Diether von Queichheim had a castle in the village. Until 1274, the developing town of Landau belonged to the parish of Queichheim. Since 1937, Queichheim and [Mörlheim](/source/M%C3%B6rlheim) together have been a quarter of Landau.

As of the beginning of 2004, Queichheim had about 3,100 inhabitants.

## Politics

The quarter's chairman (as of 2004) is Jürgen Doll ([CDU](/source/Christian_Democratic_Union_(Germany))).
