In order to give France some security after having been invaded in the first World War, the Treaty of Versailles prohibited German troops from entering an area on the French border known as the 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.
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.
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.
There's some confusion here. Under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles (1919) at the end of World War 1 Germany was not allowed to station troops in the Rhineland. However, in March 1936 Hitler remilitarized the area.
On March 7, 1936 German troops entered the Rhineland and thereby violated the treaty.
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.
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.
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.
The Germans were not allowed to station any troops in the Rhineland.
nooo

It was an important because it violated the treaty of Versailles. The treaty of Versailles was a treaty devised by allied leaders after WWI. It greatly limited German borders, limited their military, made Germany pay for the damage done which amounted to billions of dollars and made Germany admit that they caused WWI. The Rhineland was one of the areas that the Germans were not allowed to occupy so when Hitler moved troops into the Rhineland they were violating the treaty and was a major event in Nazi Germany's history.
Hitler sent troops into the Rhineland.

The Rhineland is the region in Germany around the Rhine River, so it borders with France and Belgium. After Germany agreed to the armistice on November 11, 1918, Allied troops entered the Rhineland to enforce the armistice. The Treaty of Versailles forbade Germany from keeping armies in the Rhineland- they would be a threat to France and Belgium. The treaty also legitimated the occupation that was occurring at the time, and allowed it to last until 1935 (it didn't last that long however). Another important part of the treaty was that Germany had to pay back France and Belgium for damages those countries suffered during the war- these repayments included Germany having to give them coal and timber. In the early 1920's, Germany was unable to make their payments (despite having the payments significantly lowered), so France temporarily re-invaded a part of the Rhineland called the Ruhr. Germany had a lot of coal and factories in the region, and France wanted to force Germany to pay by simply taking the stuff directly from them.
