It was demilitarised until March 1936 when Hitler cautiously moved his troops in. The allies did nothing in return and his troops remained.
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.

He didn't want the Rhinelands for 15 Years, he wanted it entirely for revenge against the Germans. It was apart of the agreement set by the 3 Allies; GB, USA & FRA. Also, the Rhineland was not France's for 15 Years, it was still German but it was demilitarised for 15 years and occupied by allied troops.
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.
Hitler didn't want Abyssinia: Mussolini wanted it. During the Italian invasion of Abyssinia, while the European attention was diverted, Hitler took advantage and reoccupied the demilitarised area called Rhineland. This happened in 1936. With this action Hitler broke both the Treaty of Versailles and the Lacarno pact.
