 Amorbach's location in Neckarsulm
|
|
Neckarsulm-Amorbach is a suburb of the city of Neckarsulm ( Heilbronn district , Baden-Württemberg ). This district was built from 1953 and inaugurated on September 24, 1955. It has 5,353 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2008) and an area of approx. 86 ha (as of 2006) . Neckarsulm-Amorbach is located on the L1095 road from Neckarsulm to Neuenstadt am Kocher , and like Neckarsulm has the postcode 74172 and the telephone code 07132. For historical reasons, the district does not have its own coat of arms and no local council. It was declared a federal model estate in October 1953 . Here, the project is "solar assisted district heating supply with borehole heat storage", which in recent years leading places in the Solar Bundesliga occupied.
history
Compared to the two other districts of Neckarsulms, Dahenfeld and Obereisesheim, Amorbach is a very young village that arose on the "Amorbacher Feld". The name "Amorbacher Feld" goes back to the Amorbach monastery in the Odenwald , which until 1440 held the right of patronage over the Neckarsulm pastorate. The possessions of the monastery in Neckarsulm were administered from the "Amorbacher Hof", which was located in what is now Neckarsulm's old town. In 1803 the monastery was secularized and its property initially fell to the Leiningen family. In 1805 the area was exchanged for the Teutonic Order and, after its abolition, to the Kingdom of Württemberg in the same year .
As early as 1951, the Neckarsulm municipal council discussed the development of the area in the "Amorbacher Feld". In this area, a supra-local settlement was to be built for 3,000 to 4,000 people who had to commute to work over a relatively long distance to the industrial centers of Heilbronn and Neckarsulm. In addition, the settlement should alleviate the housing shortage at the time and take in refugees from the former German eastern regions. The Neckarsulm municipal council was initially against this supra-local settlement, as the bombed-out Neckarsulm was more important to it than foreign commuters and displaced persons. After many discussions and a fundamental debate on May 29, 1952, in which District Administrator Eduard Hirsch was particularly committed to the project, the decision to build the new district was made on June 3, 1952. The condition of the Neckarsulm municipal council was that people looking for accommodation in Neckarsulm were given special consideration.
Then, on August 26, 1952, the Württemberg Forestry Directorate bought about 20 hectares of land in the “Amorbacher Feld”, which was partly on the Oedheim and Friedrichshall markings . The Stuttgart architect Helmut Erdle, who won the planning competition, was commissioned with the final design on August 29, 1952. The new district was designed from the start with all the necessary facilities in the form of a large "T". The crossbeam in east-west direction is formed by the school with a gym, a kindergarten, a Catholic and a Protestant church. A shopping street, Amorbacher Straße, runs in a north-south direction with all the important utilities.
The first groundbreaking took place on May 1, 1953, by Fritz Ulrich, then Minister of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg . From May 1953 543 apartments were built in the first construction phase and from March 1954 239 apartments in the second construction phase by four large building cooperatives, including the Neckarsulm home cooperative. At the topping-out ceremony for the apartments in the first phase of construction on October 27, 1953, the spokesman for the Federal Housing Ministry Breitmeyer declared the estate to be a “federal pilot project” and thus a federal model estate. Today's "Alt-Amorbach" was inaugurated on September 24, 1955. In 1955 Neckarsulm had about 13,000 inhabitants, of which about 3000 lived in Neckarsulm-Amorbach. Of these 3,000 inhabitants, around 45 percent of Neckarsulm were “old citizens” in the mid-1950s and the other part were predominantly Sudeten Germans, Hungarian Germans and Silesians who found a new home here.
Already at the end of the 1950s and the end of the 1960s, the settlement was expanded from 20 hectares to 36 hectares. From January 1990, a marking adjustment was negotiated between Oedheim and Neckarsulm and a decision was made on March 19, 1990 in Oedheim and March 20, 1990 in Neckarsulm . A part of the Lautenbacher Hof belonging to Oedheim was exchanged for Dahenfelder Bauernland. The mark compensation for the Amorbach extension to the east by 51 hectares of building land was rewarded Oedheim with a total of around DM 13 million. After a development plan was completed in October 1991, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Amorbach II (or Neu-Amorbach) extension took place on October 16, 1991, based on the urban design by Hans-Joachim Ziltz. In this new part of Neckarsulm-Amorbach, east of today's Eduard-Hirsch-Strasse (formerly Deutschordensstrasse), living space for around 3,000 to 4,000 people was to be created. The development of Neu-Amorbach is still in full swing in the years after 2006, with residential space planned for up to 8,000 residents in Neckarsulm-Amorbach. Apartments for repatriates will continue to be created, as ethnic repatriates from the countries of the former Soviet Union have increasingly found living space in Neu-Amorbach since the late 1990s.
At the same time as the expansion of Amorbach, the Bad Friedrichshall district of Plattenwald was built immediately to the west from 1990 , which was also mainly built with apartments for resettlers and foreigners. Both settlements are repeatedly considered to be the focus of crime, most recently in 2011 after a series of violent crimes.

mayor
In Neckarsulm-Amorbach there was no district mayor or mayor until the end of 2008 / beginning of 2009. In its meeting in March 2009, the municipal council decided to create a central contact person for Amorbach. Analogous to the mayors of Dahenfeld and Obereisesheim, this should take care of all citizens' concerns and problems, coordinate administrative matters and, in particular, promote the integration of families with a migration background (Russian-Germans, citizens of Turkish nationality, etc.). To this end, the administrative office in Amorbach will be expanded in terms of staff and space. The function of the central contact person, also known as the caretaker , was taken over by Andreas Gastgeb from January 2010.
Buildings
In the Neckarsulm-Amorbach district there is the Catholic Church “ Pax Christi ” and the Protestant “ Holy Spirit Church” . The “Pax Christi Church”, built between 1954 and 1955 and consecrated on September 10 and 11, 1955, is comparatively plain and simple. A mosaic by artist Josef de Ponte (originally from Hungary ), who lives in Schwaigern, on the left front wall of the chancel shows the Mother of God with the baby Jesus and the four national saints: St. Hedwig from Silesia , St. Elisabeth of Thuringia , St. Stephen , King of Hungary, and St. Klemens Maria Hofbauer from Moravia. The artist wanted to remind the displaced of their old homeland. The "Heilig-Geist-Kirche", built between 1955 and 1956, was consecrated on November 18, 1956. Among other things, it is equipped with stained glass windows by the Stuttgart painter Christian Oehler.
Also noteworthy are the kindergarten in Grenchenstrasse and the “Amorbachschule” elementary school (1997).

Memorials
On the northern outskirts of the city, on the street Am Reichertsberg , is the Kochendorf concentration camp cemetery , where hundreds of concentration camp prisoners from labor camps and the Kochendorf satellite camp as well as victims of the death marches of spring 1945 are buried.
Parks
In the west of Alt-Amorbach there is an amusement park, which is more of a wood and on the northern edge of which there are sports facilities such as a tennis court and soccer field.
At the opposite end, that is to say in the east of Neu-Amorbach, is the “Grüne Mitte” district park, which was built in the course of the Amorbach expansion in the second construction phase. This was inaugurated on August 10, 2002 after a two-year construction period. On a generous area of around 8 hectares, a local recreation area was created between Eugen-Bolz- and Lautenbacher Strasse, which offers a skate park, football field, adventure playground, lawn and a small lake. In the green areas, interconnected retention troughs were integrated as flood protection, which can hold 6000 cubic meters of water if necessary.
Infrastructure
In the village there is: the administrative office, where the most important administrative procedures can be done close to home, two kindergartens, the elementary and secondary school with Werkrealschule and two gyms, the Pestalozzi special school, the "Parkresidenz Delphin" (a senior center with assisted living), the nursing home "ASB Center for Elderly Aid am Park" in Eugen-Bolz-Straße, a shopping center, doctors, a pharmacy, branches of the Sparkasse and Volksbank, sports facilities such as a tennis court, the forest home of the workers' welfare and several restaurants.
solar power
In the vicinity of the new Amorbach primary school in Grenchenstrasse is the heating center of the project “Solar-supported local heating supply with geothermal heat storage”. Large-scale solar panels are attached to the roofs of primary school houses, senior citizens' homes, nursing homes, residential buildings, free-standing above a parking lot and on a noise barrier on the road to Neuenstadt am Kocher. In the immediate vicinity of the heating center, a long-term borehole tank was integrated into the district park. This absorbs excess solar energy gained in summer and autumn, which can be withdrawn as required in the cold season. The geothermal energy storage system consists of water pipes that were inserted vertically up to 30 m deep and at a distance of 2 m into the ground. The heat accumulator can be flexibly expanded as required by installing additional pipes. In the final stage, collector areas of 15,000 m² and a heat storage volume of 140,000 m³ are planned. The solar usage energy yield would then be up to 5000 MWh / a. Over 50% of the fuel requirement is to be replaced by solar energy. The city of Neckarsulm received the German Solar Prize in 1998 and the Baden-Württemberg State Environment Prize for municipalities in 1999. In the German Solar League , Neckarsulm has been in the top five times in the category of municipalities between 10,000 and 100,000 inhabitants since 2002 - most recently in the 2006/07 season.
Youth work Neckarsulm
