Germany , in violation of the Treaty of Versailles , reoccupies the Rhineland on March 7 , 1936 .
The 1936 German occupation of the Rhineland was met by Hitler's troops. Hitler created the reoccupation of the Rhineland military forces to build up his own army.
Germans have occupied the Rhineland for a considerable length of time! I suspect that the question should be "When did Germany remilitarize the Rhineland?", the answer being 1936. The Rhineland had been made into a demilitarised zone after the Great War, under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, 1919. Germany had political control of this area, but was not allowed to put any troops into it. In 1936, Hitler ordered troops to re-enter the Rhineland, thus breaking the terms of the treaty.
It was demilitarised until March 1936 when Hitler cautiously moved his troops in. The allies did nothing in return and his troops remained.

In 1936-37: none. (In 1936 they remilitarized the Rhineland, but as the area had remained German there was no take over). The first area that the Nazis took over was Austria in 1938.
On March 7, 1936, Hitler's military forces entered the Rhineland. This violated the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, agreed to at the end of World War I. Under that Treaty, although the Rhineland was still part of Germany, it was required to be a demilitarized zone, to provide a buffer between the armies of Germany and the countries of Western Europe, such as France and Belgium, which had suffered greatly in the First World War. More than 32,000 German soldiers and armed policemen crossed into the Rhineland, yet the then-powers of Western Europe, France and England, took no action against this violation of the Treaty.

In 1936, Hitler attended locally to annexation and remilitarization of the Rhineland. More distantly, Hitler sent German military divisions to Spain to participate in the Spanish Civil War on the side of the Fascist Nationalists. Spain became a proving ground for both German air force divisions and for German tank divisions.
