Yes, the Rhineland was designated as a demilitarized zone under the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, following World War I. This was intended to serve as a buffer zone between Germany and France to prevent future conflicts. However, in 1936, Nazi Germany violated this provision by reoccupying the Rhineland, which was a significant step in their aggressive expansionist policies leading up to World War II.

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.
Yes, German troops entered the Rhineland in March 1936. This military action was a violation of the Treaty of Versailles and the Locarno Treaties, which had established the Rhineland as a demilitarized zone. The move was part of Adolf Hitler's broader strategy to reassert Germany's power and territorial claims in Europe. The lack of significant resistance from France or Britain emboldened Hitler and marked a pivotal moment in the lead-up to World War II.
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.

German Rhineland, against France after World War I. (1914-1918)
The area between Germany and France that was proposed to be demilitarized is the Rhineland. Following World War I, the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 established this demilitarized zone to prevent further conflict between the two nations. The Rhineland's demilitarization was intended to serve as a buffer zone and to limit German military presence in the region. However, this arrangement was violated when German troops reoccupied the Rhineland in 1936.

It was against the Versailles Treaty. The Rhineland was suppose to be a demilitarized zone with no German troops. Hitler chanced putting troops into the Rhineland but fear an attack from France. He would send around 32,000 troops to be stationed in the Rhineland, to be ready if France would attack but no such thing happened. France would appease Hitler, allowing him to break the Versailles Treaty.
After World War I, the country that proposed making the Rhineland an independent state was France. The French government believed that an independent Rhineland would serve as a buffer zone against Germany and enhance security. However, this proposal was ultimately not realized, and the Rhineland remained part of Germany. The idea was more of a strategic interest for France rather than a widely accepted plan.
Establishing the demilitarized zone in the Rhineland after World War I was intended to provide security for France and prevent future German aggression. It was a reasonable measure at the time, reflecting the desire to stabilize Europe and reduce tensions. However, it also created resentment in Germany, contributing to the rise of nationalist sentiments and ultimately the re-militarization of the Rhineland in 1936. This highlights the complexities of balancing security and national sovereignty in post-war agreements.
The Rhineland was is a part of Germany. There is a German state Rhineland-Palatinate. The northern part of this state is the Rhineland and further north, up to the region around cologne is the Rhineland.
