Aeschach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aeschach is located on the shores of Lake Constance across from the island of Lindau

Aeschach is a district of the large district town of Lindau (Lake Constance) and the seat of the city administration of Lindau. It is located on the shores of the Obersee , especially the Kleiner See, north of the island of Lindau .

geography

Aeschach is bounded in the south by the shores of Lake Constance. In the west, the district extends near the shore to the Bürgermeister-Thomann-Weg, after which the Schachen district joins. In the east, Aeschach extends to Lindauer Ach , over which Bregenzer Straße leads 165 meters east of Europaplatz. The small river forms the border to the Reutin district up to Reutiner Straße . Further north, the border mostly follows the B12 .

The Lindau Bodenseedamm for the railway and a road bridge lead to the island of Lindau . The Lake Constance part of the lake, Kleiner See, lies between these connections . In the north-west of Aeschach is the district of Hoyren , and in the north is Hochbuch , which was part of the former municipality of Aeschach (until 1922).

history

The earliest traces of settlement were found on the ridge near the former Catholic cemetery. Traces of Roman settlement were discovered here in 1878 and the foundation walls of a former villa suburbana were excavated in 1888. The building with hypocaust heating dates from 200 AD and is located today in the so-called “Roman Park”. Furthermore, a Roman helmet, a late Roman onion head fibula and numerous Roman coins were found.

The first written evidence of Aeschach as the name of the river dates back to 802. Around 1079, the Lindau monastery relocated its market from Aeschach to the island. In 1818 Lindau lost its land and Aeschach became an independent municipality .

On February 1, 1922, the community was reintegrated into Lindau.

Aeschacher bath

The bathhouse, built in 1911, is a pile building on the lake shore.
The "Lotzbeckhäusle" next to the Aeschacher Bad is used today by the "Bund Naturschutz" for exhibitions on the natural area of ​​Lake Constance.

Aeschach cemetery

In 1515 the cemetery was moved from the island to the mainland, here to Aeschach, due to lack of space. The cemetery served as a burial place until 1915, is also known as the "Old Cemetery" and is now a listed building. Built on high walls, there are about a hundred Italian-style tombs with tombs from the Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassic and Art Nouveau styles, as well as the Gothic Kröll Chapel (also known as Krell's Chapel ).

With a majolica sculpture created by Ludwig Dietz in 1935 , the Lindau honorary citizen Ludwig Kick warned all passers-by with the inscription "Drive slowly to the cemetery". The sculpture is attached to the outer wall of the old cemetery.

In 1940 the old cemetery with its very beautiful trees was converted into a park.

Krell chapel at the Aeschach cemetery

The chapel was built as a peace chapel for the then newly laid out Aeschach cemetery.
The construction of this chapel began in 1515 and completed in 1518 and was supported by the Lindau patrician family Krell (also Kröll , Kröl or Krel ), which was ultimately also a decisive factor in the naming.
The Lindau merchant Oswald Krell was portrayed by Albrecht Dürer in 1499 . The chapel for the Lindau churchyard, consecrated in 1520, was built from stones from a former Roman villa (in today's Roman Park). It was the burial place of the Lindau patrician family Krell and served as a morgue from 1831 to 1931.
In 1931/32, the Lindau engineer and benefactor Ludwig Kick made the restoration of the Gothic chapel possible. The entrance to the chapel is above the so-called Armsünderplatz , where executed, suicide and unbaptized children have been buried in unconsecrated ground since 1616.

In 2004/05 the Gothic Krell chapel was again comprehensively renovated. Today it houses a lapidarium with a collection of important tombstones from the Renaissance period and is not open to the public.

Ulrich's Chapel

The Catholic St. Ulrich's Chapel is located in the northern area of ​​the cemetery.

Lotzbeck Villa

The castle-like Lotzbeck Villa was built on Heckenweg in 1821 and the surrounding park stretched to the lake shore. In 1970 the villa and the surrounding outbuildings were demolished.

Moos Castle

From 1820 the "Old Castle" was built in Anheggerstrasse (house number 51) and around 1830 the building was rebuilt. In 1836 the castle was acquired by Friedrich von Quadt-Wykradt-Isny .
Between 1880 and 1882 a brick chapel - the "Rosary Chapel" - was built by Joseph Anton Müller in the neo-Gothic style, consecrated in 1882 and later connected to the "Old Castle" by a cloister. Towards the end of the 19th century, the "New Castle" (house number 53) was built in the neo-Gothic style as a two-story building with a flat roof. From 1908 to 1910 the building received two more floors and a hipped roof. Extensive renovation and renovation work was carried out between 2000 and 2004.

Senftenau Castle

Römervilla (today Römerpark)

The Gothic Krell Chapel was built near a crumbling Roman villa on the Aeschacher Berg , which, like the wall of the cemetery, was built with stones from this Roman villa. In the Roman Park, an information board and a stone setting provide information about the layout of the former villa.
