PIRMASENS

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 642 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PIRMASENS , a town of Germany, in the Bavarian Palatinate, 4o m. W. by S. of Spires, on the railway from Biebermuhle. Pop. (1905), 34,002. The only noteworthy buildings are the town-
hall
  and the
principal
  Evangelical church, which contains a fine
monument
  to Louis IX. (d. 1790), landgrave of Hesse-
Darmstadt
 , who made the town his residence. The staple industry is the production of boots and shoes; but musical
instruments
 , leather and machines are also manufactured. Pirmasens owes its name to a St Pirmin, who is said to have preached Christianity here in the 8th century. It originally belonged to the
count
  of Hanau-Lichtenberg, but passed to Hesse-
Darmstadt
  in 1736. In September 1793 the Prussians gained a victory here over a
body
  of French troops.
See T. Weiss, Pirmasens in der Franzosenzeit (Pirmasens, 1905).
