The former municipality of Schnaitheim (Swabian: "Schnoida"), which was incorporated into Heidenheim an der Brenz in 1910 , is its largest district.

history

The Schnaitheim hand ax found in 1999 is the oldest evidence of the presence of people in the area of ​​today's municipality . The 16 cm long stone tool from the final phase of the Neanderthal was found in a swamp in the Gewann Winterhalde on the Moldenberg.

Mittelrain

The Mittelrain residential area is located on a hill southwest of the center of Schnaitheim and was built between the late 1960s and early 1980s. In terms of transport, it is developed through Mittelrainstraße, which surrounds the area to the northeast and connects it with Schnaitheim in the east and Zanger Straße (K 3035) in the west. The residential streets, which are designed as dead ends, lead off from this access road. In the core area of ​​the residential area there is a primary school and a center with a kindergarten, youth center, playground, ecumenical community center and shopping facilities. The only industrial facility is the thermal power station that supplies the area with district heating. The area is characterized by a mixture of multi-family multi-storey buildings, high-rise buildings in the northwest and single-family bungalows, predominantly in the flat roof style of the 1970s.

Hagen

Since Schnaitheim is divided by the railway line with its own stop, the citizens of Schnaitheim like to speak of the dark Hagen , as it is located on the slope of a mountain and because of its location receives relatively little sunlight. Older single-family houses from the 1900s to 1950s predominate in Hagen. The Steigstraße joins the K3036, which leads left to Mittelrain and right to the Königsbronn suburb of Zang . To the left of Steigstrasse in the direction of Mittelrain / Zang is the Steigstrasse building area with single-family houses from the early 1990s and small terraced houses at the edge of the forest .

Directly on the Hagenberg is a quarry, which is no longer in operation, with barbecue areas in the middle of meadows, fields and forest. Adjacent to the ski slope Schnaitheim with elevator operation and one of the largest in the winter cross-country skiing - trails created in Heidenheim space.
