'''Frankenthal (Pfalz)''' ({{lang-pfl|Frongedahl}}) is a [[town]] in southwestern [[Germany]], in the state of [[Rhineland-Palatinate]].

== History ==
Frankenthal was first mentioned in 772. In 1119 an [[Augustinians|Augustinian]] monastery was built here, the ruins of which — known, after the founder, as the [[:de:Erkenbert-Ruine|''Erkenbertruine'']] — still stand today in the town centre.

In the second half of the 16th century, people from [[Flanders]], persecuted for their religious beliefs, settled in Frankenthal. They were industrious and artistic and brought economic prosperity to the town. Some of them were important carpet weavers, jewellers and artists whose ''Frankenthaler Malerschule'' ("Frankenthal school of painting") acquired some fame. In 1577 the settlement was raised to the status of a town by the Count Palatine [[Johann Casimir of Simmern|Johann Casimir]].

In 1600 Frankenthal was converted to a fortress. In 1621 it was garrisoned by English soldiers under [[Horace Vere, 1st Baron Vere of Tilbury|Sir Horace Vere]] and besieged by the [[Spain|Spanish]] during the [[Thirty Years' War]], and then successively occupied by troops of the opposing sides. Trade and industry were ruined and the town was not reconstructed until 1682.

In 1689 the town was burnt to the ground by [[France|French]] troops in the [[War of the Grand Alliance]]. The town did not fully recover from this for more than fifty years.

However, in 1750, under the rule of the Elector (Kurfürst) [[Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria|Charles Theodore]], Frankenthal was established as a centre of industry. Numerous factories were opened and [[mulberry]] trees were planted for [[silk]] production. In 1755 the famous [[Frankenthal porcelain factory]] was opened, which remained in production until 1800. During this period, the town was also known in English as '''Frankendal'''.{{sfnp|''EB''|1771}}

In 1797 the town came under French occupation during the [[French Revolutionary Wars]]. It passed into the rule of [[Bavaria]] in 1816.

The beginning of modern [[industrialisation]] is dated from 1859.

In 1938 the [[Jew]]ish synagogue, built in 1884, was burnt to the ground during the [[Kristallnacht]].

In 1943 during a bombing raid the centre of the town was almost completely destroyed. In 1945, at the end of [[World War II]], its industries in ruins, it was occupied first by the [[United States|Americans]] and then by the French.

From 1946 Frankenthal has been part of the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Today the town is again the site of some medium-sized industries.
