Nowhere! The Rhineland was always the Rhine River Valley that covered the border between France and Germany, but it was not demilitarized until AFTER World War I in order to give France a measure of security.

The Rhineland was demilitarized because the big 3 wanted Germany to be weakened. The rhineland was also the border between France and Germany. To prevent France being attacked again by germany, allied troops were put there. Basically to stop Germany attacking France again.

After World War I, the Rhineland portion of Germany was demilitarized so as to provide France with greater security. By preventing any military presence in the Rhineland, France would have more time to mobilize and prepare defenses in the event of another war with Germany.

When did hitler invade Rhineland?

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.
