The Giesel bakery is located in the Neuhofer district of Giesel in the eastern Hessian district of Fulda, not far from the district town of Fulda on Landesstraße 3206, Laurentiusstraße 23 a.
Baking used to have a very special meaning; Bread was the main food. Almost every family with enough flour baked their own bread. The sourdough bread dough was prepared at home, shaped into loaves and carried to the bakery on baking boards or wheelbarrowed. The order of who was allowed to bake and when was determined by drawing lots one week in advance and written on a board in the bakery. The Sunday cake was also baked here if it was not allowed to be baked by the baker (wage baking). The bakeries were still in frequent use well into the 1960s. They were then shut down, some fell into disrepair and were demolished. In Giesel, both bakery houses were demolished at their original locations due to road construction work.
history
At the end of December 1822 , during the time of Wilhelm II of Hessen-Kassel , the Hessian Ministry of the Interior in Cassel ordered the abolition of private ovens for citizens in the rural communities of Kurhessen and the provision of communal ovens. A community oven should be calculated for 20 to 40 homes. As a result, two community bakeries had to be provided for Giesel at the expense of the rural communities. These were the baking houses for the upper village by the church and for the lower village at the beginning of the later Sommerbergstrasse. The county offices of the provinces had to report to the government by January 1824 whether the regulations had been carried out sufficiently. The district offices had to make available to the rural communities by means of duplicated stone print plans of functional ovens. This also resulted in the baking houses in Giesel as community facilities. This measure had been issued by the elector because of " saving wood and reducing the risk of fire ". The community bakeries in Giesel were built at the entrance to the school built around 1895 and the old St. Laurentius Church built in 1856/59 , the church consecrated by Bishop Christoph Florentius Kött in 1861 , and a second one at the beginning of the later Sommerbergstrasse at the lower forge .
Former locations
At the former locations of the two bakery houses in Giesel im Oberdorf on Laurentiusstrasse and in Unterdorf at the beginning of what will later become Sommerbergstrasse, there is no structural reminder.
Location: Oberdorf
Only at the Oberdorf location near the church is only reminiscent of the planting island planted with a linden tree at the driveway to today's community center - Christoph-Kalb-Haus and kindergarten. The parish grounds of the bakehouse bordered the church property of the Catholic Laurentiuskirche . The Kolping Memorial was erected by the Kolping family in 1994 .
Location: Unterdorf
From the development of the village of Giesel, the valley of the Giesel stream and the given topography have always been decisive for the construction of the building. Giesel was a street village around 1858 in the middle of the 19th century . This can be seen on the map of the Electorate of Hesse . Coming from Neuhof, the road led past the former moated castle through all of Giesel over the Sommerberg to Fulda. The road from Hosenfeld led into this road to Fulda.
With the new construction of the state road L 3079 in 1960, starting from the new intersection of Sturmius-, Laurentius-, Sommerberg- and Hosenfelder Straße up to Niederöder Höhe to Fulda, the road breakthrough of Sturmiusstraße at the property Müller Sturmiusstraße. 1, the Unterdorf bakery standing there, broken off.
With the demolition of the bakery, a kind of bypassing through the Giesel Aue up to the end of the summer mountain road at Hochkreuz at the current entrance from Fulda could be made possible.
Replacement building
After the regional reform in 1972, a smaller cast firebrick community bakehouse was built in 1974 under Mayor Karl Heimüller and mayor Karl Schneider as a replacement to the existing fire station with a community freezer for the village community. It was later demolished to expand the fire station.
The extension was necessary because the old stone bakery in Laurentiusstraße, built around 1822, had to be demolished in 1978 due to the expansion and widening of Laurentiusstraße as the L3206 state road. At the same time, the Gieselbach piping was improved from the war memorial to Sturmius Str.
New building
A new stone brick house was 1994/95 under Mayor Martin Hohmann and mayor Karl-Heinz block and the construction management of Bautechnikers Ewald Quick from Gieselmann and under the help of many citizens in the Laurentiusstraße 23 A next to the fire station built. 14 families from Giesel still baked regularly in the bakery. This tradition should definitely be preserved. Construction began on May 7, 1994. It was agreed with the community that the village community would erect this building itself and would also have to contribute its own financial contribution. Of the costs of 80,000 DM, 59,000 DM were taken over by the municipality. The citizens took the rest through the sale of bread and the “Brick Sale” campaign. The Backhaus Festival on May 20 and 21, 1995 made a decent profit. The first baking day was on December 12, 1994. The New Backhaus received the church blessing from the Giesel pastor Bernhard Langner, who donated a columned oak for the inauguration , which was located in the planting strip next to the Backhaus and Laurentiusstrasse.
In autumn 2019, the columnar oak was felled due to root damage on the sidewalk.
