Rhineland is Germany.
From 1936 to 1941, Nazi Germany invaded several regions in Europe, beginning with the remilitarization of the Rhineland in 1936. In 1938, Germany annexed Austria in the Anschluss and later occupied the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia. In 1939, Germany invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia and launched an attack on Poland, which marked the start of World War II. By 1941, Germany had also invaded Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, establishing control over much of Western and Central Europe.
The loss of the German Rhineland after World War I, resulting from the Treaty of Versailles, significantly humiliated Germany and fostered a sense of resentment and betrayal among its populace. This resentment fueled the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, who promised to restore Germany’s former glory and reclaim lost territories. The remilitarization of the Rhineland in 1936 directly violated the treaty, emboldening Hitler’s aggressive expansionist policies and contributing to the outbreak of World War II. Ultimately, the loss and subsequent actions surrounding the Rhineland exemplified the broader tensions and unresolved grievances that led to the conflict.

In 1936 Germany remilitarized the Rhineland. However, this was not an occupation.
In 1936, Hitler decided to take reoccupy the Rhineland. It was very risky as Germany still had a weak army. France had just signed an agreement with the USSR to protect each other against an attck from Germany. Hitler used this to claim that Germany was under threat and that he should be allowed to place troops on his own frontier. He moved his troops to the Rhineland . However, France did not act against this and Hitler took full control of the Rhineland.

Rhineland
Rhineland is a region in Germany. It gets its' name from the river Rhine that flows through the area. In 1936, Germany remilitarized Rhineland as part of the prelude 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.
