Bird's eye view of farm home

Bauernheim is the smallest district of Friedberg (Hessen) and is located in the Wetteraukreis in Hessen , Germany .

Surname

The origin of the name Bauernheim is still disputed today. There are two possible theories about this. The first says that a former landlord named Buro owned large parts of farmhouses, which resulted in the name “Hof des Buro”. Together with the common ending -heim , the name Buroheim and from it Bauernheim arose . The second theory is based on the fact that Bauernheim has always been an agricultural place and, especially in the past, consisted mainly of farmers . The name is derived from the farmers' home .

geography

Geographical location

Bauernheim is located on the northeastern edge of the Friedberg district in the Wetterau .

It reaches a height of 166.6 meters above sea ​​level and is crossed by the weather west of the village . In the northwest, the district boundary runs along the Hechtgraben and is partially limited by it.

The village is located on a slope, which at its upper construction limit allows a wide view over Ossenheim and the southern foothills of the Wetterau district to the skyline of the city of Frankfurt am Main .

Neighboring communities

The district borders in the north and west on Dorheim , in the east on Dorn-Assenheim and in the south-east on Nieder-Florstadt and in the south on Ossenheim and in the south-west on Friedberg-Fauerbach.

geology

Bauernheim is located in the eastern depression of the Wetterau and thus in the Horloffgraben, which began to emerge in Permian .

Sea and fresh water flooding in the Hessian depression resulted in shell limestone in its eastern distribution - as well as clayey-sandy deposits. At this time, the Upper Hessian lignite was also created . In the Horloffgraben, which is about five km wide and collapsed due to tectonic events, about 50 m thick sediments of the Upper Pliocene can be found . Under the lignite there are partly early Pliocene basalts and clayey basalt decomposition. Above the brown coal there are clays of the uppermost Pliocene with a thickness of 15–20 m . In the Pleistocene , loess was deposited over the entire area , in the Holocene , silt and alluvial clay were deposited in the valleys, which still determine the surface appearance of the Wetterau today.

The Bauernheim district has a relatively strong relief energy : The weather that flows through the western part of the district has created a wide, flat valley , which is opposed to a part of the large, high plateau in the east of the district , both of which are separated by a (in In the north of the district there are quite steep, in the south more leisurely descending) terrain roofing .

Bauernheimer layers

The characteristic sequence of layers in the soil that characterizes the Bauernheim district is referred to as Bauernheimer layers . In the past, the sequence was called: "Gradn", gravel , "Letten" and clay with brown coal (classified under "Södeler Rundschotter" and "Nauheimer Kantkies") as Bauernheimer layers. During the geological remapping around 1976, this technical term was given a new definition:

The rocks formed at Bauernheim are considered to be the hanging wall of the basalts, which is evidenced by the microflora they contain ... They are clays, silts and fine sands of white to dark gray or yellowish-brownish color. Coal seams can be found in it , which locally swell to a greater thickness and are enriched in four places worth building in the leaf area ... In addition to lignite, coarser sand and fine to medium gravel layers occur as interposition in the Bauernheim layers, especially rounded quartz . Decomposed basalt or bauxite pebbles are rarely stored, which probably come from the local bedrock ... Sand and gravel layers were also found in numerous of the boreholes sunk on lignite ..., especially SW, S and SE Beienheim and in the area of ​​the old Bauernheimer Mine in Biengrund, often in boreholes that did not contain coal. If they are found in connection with coal, the coarse-clastic deposits were partly above, partly under the coal or between several seams.

climate

The cold winds are weakened by the sheltered position of the valley, also towards the Taunus to the west . The warm south and south-westerly winds, on the other hand, flow in unhindered and the elevation from sea level also creates a mild climate .

With its location, the district of Bauernheim is in the climate district of southwest Germany. It is part of the transition area between northern, central and southern Germany.

In the 220-to 235 days continuous vegetation period, a temperature of 15 prevails to 16  ° C . The mean annual temperature is 9 ° C. With a temperature of 0 ° C, January is the coldest, and July is the hottest month at 18 ° C.

When the apple blossoms, spring usually begins between April 21 and 28. On average there are 170 to 190 frost-free days a year. A total of 30 summer days and less than 80 frost days are counted.

The total precipitation amounts to an average of 550 mm precipitation (550 l / m²), of which 160 mm falls in the vegetation period (May to July). The precipitation is distributed over the months as follows: January: 40 mm, February: 30 mm, March: 30 mm, April: 30 mm, May: 40 mm, June: 40 mm, July: 60 mm, August: 40 mm, September: 50 mm, October: 50 mm, November: 40 mm, December: 50 mm.

The extreme values ​​in July and August can be traced back to the frequent thunderstorms at this time . Compared to other areas, this is very dry. In the Wetterau, one speaks of dry summers from time to time . A dryness index of 25-30 per year was calculated for the Wetterau. At least 0.1 mm of rain falls on 160 to 170 days, and snow with 0.1 mm of precipitation on 20 to 30 days .

history

Early history

It can be assumed that, due to the favorable climatic conditions and the great fertility , homo lived in the Wetterau as early as the Paleolithic , at the time of the Neanderthals . However, this has not yet been proven.

Evidence of early life in Bauernheim was provided by the discovery of a ceramic cup on the donkey path in a Neolithic group that was discovered in the last century . The find is a beaker made by cord ceramists with a decoration in the form of herringbone-like wooden prints. The cord ceramists lived in the Copper Age around 2000–1800 BC. No evidence can be provided about the occurrence of different civilized peoples such as band ceramists .

Before 1926, two finds were made on the parcel of the old mine . These are two open bronze arm rings, and a piece of an iron ring was also recovered. The finds can be traced back to the earlier Hallstatt period around 700–600 BC. Chr. Lead back.

At the time when a Roman military camp was being built in Friedberg , a villa rustica was probably operated in the area of ​​the Bauernheims . That would fit in with the remains of the Roman cellar found by chance in August 1975. A villa rustica is an estate that was used to farm in order to produce food, which then possibly went to Friedberg or other field camps. The hillside location with the water supplier weather is a good prerequisite for a Roman settlement.

The Alamanni conquered the area enclosed by the Limes around 260 and then settled in old Roman complexes. They did so until they began to colonize the area around the old facilities in the 4th century. It could be that the Alemanni settled in the Bauernheimer Villa rustica. Around 500 a Franconian conquest and colonization of the Wetterau began, which meant that Franconians could have settled in Bauernheim at that time. In addition, there was the beginning of Christianization and a church organization.

middle Ages

The first documentary mention of Bauernheim was in the Beatus document, which was issued on June 21, 778. With this document, the abbot Beatus donated the church in Bauernheim to his Irish-Scottish monastery in Honau.

The Konradines ruled the Wetterau from 836 to 1036 . The last one was called Konrad von Hammerstein and died at the end of this period. By Heinrich III. The County of Malstatt, part of the former Wettereiba (an area that extended beyond the current borders of the Wetterau), came to the family of the Counts of Nürings . The county got its name from the Bauernheim court, which is also called Malstatt.

In 1043 Heinrich III transferred. the county to the monastery of Fulda . Although some parts of the eastern county were lost by 1131, based on the location of Fauerbach near Friedberg in the county area, it can be assumed that Bauernheim was still part of Malstatt at that time. Through various donations from the highest nobility, the von Arnsburg dynasty came into possession of land in the Bauernheim district, from which Mathilde von Arnsburg gave 8 manses to the St. Alban monastery in Mainz in 1093 .

Because of expanding the dominion of the Hagen-Arnsburg received this that a position of power, which caused her münzenberg castle building, after which they renamed Also at the 1165th In the third quarter of the 12th century they built a tower complex in Assenheim , which later became a rule there. This rule of Assenheim, to which also Bauernheim belonged, went to the Munzenberg heirs of the Falkensteiners . It is not known whether the small Bauernheim castle to the west of the village, which has long since been abandoned , was built by the Munzenbergers or their successors , as it was never mentioned in a document. Since the Hanauers were also involved in the government, there were disputes that later escalated into the Imperial War led by Hanauers against the Falkensteiners from 1364 to 1366 ( Falkensteiner feud ), which ended with a compromise peace in 1366. The disputes did not cease until the end of the 14th century when von Falkenstein brought the regional court to Assenheim with the capital Nieder-Wöllstadt and u. a. most of the districts of today's Friedberg (including Bauernheim) bought.

After the Falkenstein line became extinct, the properties were divided among the heirs, but administered jointly. The heirs were Dieter von Isenburg-Büdingen and Countess von Sayn , who u. a. Bauernheim pledged to the Teutonic Order at short notice in 1424 . From 1426 to 1429 Frank von Kronberg the Younger was employed by the Teutonic Order House in Sachsenhausen as a bailiff for farmers' homes and other villages.

In 1433, Bauernheim went to the von Sayn family together with Nieder-Wöllstadt , Fauerbach, Ossenheim and Rechten in Büdesheim . After several pledges, Bauernheim finally went to Frank von Kronberg in October 1458.

Modern times

After Frank von Kronberg's death, the district of Bauernheim passed to the Counts of Solms and remained under Solms rule until 1806. In 1548, the Counts of Solms in Bauernheim introduced the Reformation , so that the Protestant parish still exists today . In 1548 a line from Solms-Laubach split off from the Solms-Lich , from which in 1623 the line to Solms-Rödelheim emerged. After this line became extinct 12 years later, a new line was founded again, that of Solms-Rödelheim and Assenheim , which still exists today.

The French Revolutionary War led to territorial restructuring, as a result of which the ecclesiastical mansions were dissolved in 1803. This gave the Kurmainz and also France's allies, the Landgraves of Hesse-Darmstadt , more property. Furthermore, Napoleon's occupation led to Bauernheim and other lands belonging to the Grand Duchy of Hesse from 1816 .

Role of peasant homes in the coalition wars

Bauernheim was part of the site of a battle in the coalition wars , in which an Austrian armed force , which presumably attacked the French in Central Hesse, had to withdraw from the French due to numerical inferiority. The Austrian army was split up, with a part moving via Wetzlar - Butzbach - Friedberg - Vilbel .

On July 10, 1796, French troops managed to bypass the Austrians and they occupied Homburg vor der Höhe . A left wing came via Bingenheim in the direction of Bauernheim and closed the way for the Austrians there. Their 6 grenadier battalions and 8 hussar squadrons held the heights of Niedermörlen . As it became more and more certain that they would be surrounded, they holed up in Ossenheim and Bauernheim to forestall the French. Their troops then attacked the two villages and were able to force their enemies to retreat, which, due to the cavalry, took place according to Bruchenbrücken and Assenheim . Due to poor artillery support, however, the French were initially unable to defeat the Austrians there with their 9 fusilier battalions and 8 squadrons . That only happened when the artillery realigned itself. The height behind the places could be maintained until the last defenders of the two Mörlen and Friedberg had withdrawn to the south.

Farmers' home in the Grand Duchy of Hesse

When Bauernheim was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, there were 105 inhabitants. As a result of an uprising in 1830, the Friedberg district came into being . After there was a bad harvest in 1846, which caused general discontent among the population, unrest and uprisings broke out all over Germany. In Bauernheim people were more peaceful with the request that the rights guaranteed to them and the termination of some existing processes. On March 13, 1848, a deputation from Bauernheim visited the Solms-Rödelheim office and, with the greatest of decency, asked for concessions to be obtained. It became clear that the Bauernheimer were fobbed off, also because they acted humbly and shyly, whereby other communities, which did not appear so subtle, got everything they asked for. One reason was that Bauernheim, which owned a count's coal mine in its area , had an advantage over others.

After a while, farmers' homes were sent again to enforce their wishes with clear certainty. On the grounds that the existence of the mine could be jeopardized by changes in the law, they succeeded in obtaining concessions after the negotiations had temporarily failed. a. Assured compensation for damage from the lignite mine.

When the Prussian king rejected the imperial crown , the entire constitution of the Paulskirche failed . The official promulgation of the Imperial Constitution caused another uprising, which was, however, suppressed by the Hesse-Darmstadt regiments. After the state system had dismissed the March ministers , many rulers then tried to revoke the concessions granted in the March Revolution , as was the case in Bauernheim. The trial of “Count's House of Solms-Rödelheim versus the community of Bauernheim”, recorded in Friedberg on November 13, 1850, was concluded in 1853 by a settlement that turned out in favor of Bauernheim. The mine plots were supposed to be returned to the community without any effort after they were smelted .

Notes by a pastor around 1858

The pastor Buchhold of the common parish Bauernheim-Ossenheim wrote down some facts in 1858. According to this, at that time Bauernheim had 237 inhabitants with the mine, who lived in 31 houses divided between 37 families, and that Bauernheim had its own school with a teacher, born in Basdorf near Vöhl, since January 1, 1855. In 1858 there was an extraordinary dry season , which caused feed prices to rise so much that you could almost buy the piece of land on which the feed was produced for the money . In the summer and autumn of 1861 there was a field mouse plague in the entire Wetterau . They did great damage to fields and meadows , which made them look like plowed fields in autumn. Though thousands of them were captured and killed, their numbers did not decrease visibly. A method used at the time was to put phosphorus- poisoned wheat in the mouse holes and close them. Most of the field mouse population perished in winter. In 1861, Bauernheim had 247 residents in 35 houses, of which 26 lived in the two houses of the mine.

On June 15, 1862, the Bauernheim confirmands were first confirmed separately from the Ossenheimers in today's Michaeliskirche. In the autumn of 1863, seven farmers in Ossenheim purchased a new type of steam threshing machine, which was also used in Bauernheim and elsewhere. In July 1870 the Franco-German War broke out, in which three farmers took part. They returned home unharmed. During the war, a general day of penance and prayer was arranged in Bauernheim . From mid-August there were alternating hours of prayer between Ossenheim and Bauernheim, during which the Lord was implored for an honorable victory. In memory of the regained peace, a linden tree was planted in the old churchyard on March 29, 1871 , so that it would remind future generations that the Lord has done great things for us and for the whole of the German fatherland.

Younger story

In the autumn of 1909 a water pipe was laid. She comes from Dorheim as the head of local group C of the Bad Nauheim group supply. It goes via Ossenheim behind the Ossenheimer wood, where there was a larger reservoir with water that was said to be of good quality.

In the First World War were numerous peasant Heimer. After the end of the war, Hesse should also follow its path to democracy and thus out of aristocratic rule.

As in all of Germany, there were several groups and organizations with National Socialist principles in Bauernheim at the time of the NSDAP . There were party meetings and parades where people dressed in brown uniforms . During that time, the children were also brought up according to its convictions due to the indoctrination efforts of the Reich government . Bauernheimer also fell in the Second World War that followed .

Post-war period from 1945

Because there were neither war criminals in Bauernheim , nor were there at the time, the American soldiers were not really interested in the farming village during their offensive. With a few off-road vehicles, they came into the village, which was carefully decorated with white flags. Recognizing that the intention of a few escaped German soldiers to attack the Americans was a maddening idea, a few Bauernheimers asked the Allies to move on again. Nobody in Bauernheim was harmed during the liberation. The administration at that time was removed and replaced by a provisional one.

The farmer's homes, with all their cattle and gardens, were fairly independent compared to the townspeople and were therefore not so affected by the general food shortage, but there was a lack of luxury items. It was burned black and tobacco was also grown, which was of dubious quality due to the wrong soil and climate and was therefore also called Scheuerbambeler .

After the local council of Bauernheim unanimously declared itself valid on February 13, 1946 and the then mayor Keller soon resigned from office, August Walther was elected mayor. Then in subsequent council meetings, the subject came up again and again to a development of new residential areas this week, as the population due to the reception of refugees, mostly from the Sudetenland and East Prussia to arise, rose significantly. According to the official register of this time, 120 people moved in the first year after the war, bringing the number of inhabitants to 357. After a while, most of the 120 refugees left Bauernheim again.

There were two bakers in Bauernheim , one of which moved in from his bombed-out bakery in Fauerbach. At that time, this baker had probably packed his customer yeast in community files because of the lack of paper, which he had access to through his rented room in the old fire station , whereby these unique documents were partly scattered and destroyed. He was replaced in September 1948 by the Wohnbacher Hugo Bommersheim. On August 3, 1950, a newly built street in the south of Bauernheim was named Ossenheimer Straße . The new street Am Junggarten (today: Im Junggarten) was named on June 13, 1951.

The canals in the old local area were built in the winter of 1952/53. In 1954, the county road from the Kreuzbaum to the old Schäfer restaurant was paved . According to the design by the architect Wilhelm Rühle, the new school building was to be carried out by resolution of the community representatives in February 1954. The cost of this was DM 110,000 and it took a year to build. In the summer of 1955, construction began on what was then Schulstrasse (today Am Park) on the recently purchased In der Eller site . In 1957 the eastern part of Ossenheimer Strasse was built on.

By February of the same year, the Friedberg overland plant had installed a new street lighting system. In 1958, the old war memorial was fundamentally redesigned and placed southwest of the church. In autumn 1962 the land consolidation was completed. In the course of this, the community was able to reserve a large piece of land in the Hinter der Eller corridor for subsequent development. On February 28, 1963, the mayor submitted a draft of the Bauernheim municipal coat of arms to the Ministry of the Interior, which, however, did not approve it. The coat of arms is an absolutely new creation, as there was no such thing in Bauernheim before.

In 1964, thanks to grants from the state and district, the Hinter der Eller playground was set up. This cost 15029.98 DM. In 1964 the Bauernheim upper school (grades 5–9) moved to the new Dorheim center school, leaving only the elementary school (grades 1–4) behind. For this, Bauernheim paid DM 21,386.86, a 4% contribution to the costs of the new school.

In the autumn of 1965, the laying of the sewer system and water supply from Dorn-Assenheimer Strasse to the then planned new building area on what would later become Hoherodskopfstrasse. Construction began in 1967. In 1966 it was decided that the field above the school at the time should be prepared as a football field for the youth. The Bauernheimer Park was also created during this time . This was planned by Erwin Miltenberger and gradually created by farmers' homes free of charge in their free time. From 1967, Bauernheim was supposed to still get its water from Ossenheimer water tanks, but the water now comes from the Inheiden waterworks and thus from today's Oberhessische Versorgungsbetriebe AG . After the old transformer house in Ess Lischthäusi had to give way due to road construction work, a new transformer house was built next to the school in the spring of 1968. In 1968 it was decided to build a small wastewater treatment plant in Bauernheim , but this did not materialize because Bauernheim was to be connected to the Friedberg sewage treatment plant.

In December, a contract was signed with the Baumhammel company from Frankfurt am Main for the purpose of setting up a commercial operation in the Bauernheim district . This established the industrial park southwest of Bauernheim an der Wetterbrücke , which still exists today . 1970 began with the development of the upper part of the Hoherodskopfstrasse.

At the beginning of the new school year in September 1970, the Bauernheim primary school was finally closed. The 1970/71 class was the first to be enrolled in the Dorheim elementary school. After that, the former school of the district became the property of the community of Bauernheim. A kindergarten and a practice room for the sports community should be created here.

The Bauernheimer community council dealt with the integration into the district town with high priority after the mayor of the community Reinhold Höres and the mayor of the district town Karl Raute had a detailed discussion about it in mid-November 1971. Since in the following summer the compulsory incorporation threatened by the legal community and territorial reform , one tried with haste before that voluntarily and orderly to join the city of Friedberg. This had the advantage that there were still advantages for the village in prospect.

The necessary border change agreement was unanimously approved at the municipal council meeting on November 30, 1971. Since January 1, 1972, the once independent community of Bauernheim has been a district of the district town of Friedberg (Hesse). This made Reinhold Höres the last mayor of the community and the first mayor of the Bauernheim district. 42 years later (2014) a newly built street on the southern outskirts, parallel to Ossenheimer Straße, was named after him.

As a district of Friedberg from 1972

The old syringe house, as a fire station with municipal administration , was demolished in spring 1972. Construction work on the new fire station was completed in the autumn of the same year. This gave the volunteer fire brigade two vehicle parking spaces and a separate room for changing rooms, community and seminars at the same time. A toilet facility was added in 1975.

A waiting hall for pupils waiting for the bus to the Brothers Grimm School in Dorheim was built on the place where the old syringe house stood . After the syringe house was demolished, the administration moved to the basement of the last school building. As the community treasury was no longer available, a branch of the Friedberger Bank was later set up. Later there was a small, purpose-built hut with a bank. This structure, a few square meters wide, existed until 2005, albeit abandoned, and was later torn down.

In autumn 1973, a partition in the former school hall of today's village community center was removed to make room for the table tennis department of the Bauernheim sports community. In addition, a shower and changing area was set up in the previous equipment room in the basement. In the course of the incorporation, the local advisory council decided in March 1973 to change street names that already existed in the city of Friedberg. This resulted in the following changes: Friedberger Strasse in Dorn-Assenheimer Strasse , Hauptstrasse in Beienheimer Strasse , Höhenstrasse in Hoherodskopfstrasse , Schulstrasse in Am Park . In the spring of 1974 work began on the upper part of Taufsteinstrasse. The connecting route between the streets: Behind the Eller, Hoherodskopfstraße and Taufsteinstraße will be called Bilsteinstraße from October 1973 . When the district road from “Kreuzbaum” to Beienheimer Strasse was expanded in 1975, the old weather bridge was dismantled and replaced by a modern bridge. With the anniversary year and the 1200th anniversary of Bauernheim in 1978, the exact writing of the Bauernheim village chronicle ends.

Church with churchyard and linden tree

The Evangelical Church in Bauernheim existed around 900. Until 1844, burials were held in the churchyard , which, as the word suggests, was around the church. Then a new cemetery was created. There is a mourning hall in the cemetery .

Culture and sights

Bauernheim volunteer fire department

Role of the fire department in Bauernheim

In a village as small as Bauernheim, the fire brigade is an important cultural factor, unlike in many cities or even larger towns. People meet in the fire brigade, there are events and with a proportion of the population of up to 26% at times, it has always been an important part of Bauernheim society. A high level of interest and a large number of offspring in the youth fire brigade shows that the fire brigade is still present in the village and therefore deserves recognition and functional equipment, as well as a solid fire station built in accordance with standards .

history

After the fire protection law was promulgated on May 19, 1951, the Bauernheim volunteer fire brigade was founded with 16 volunteers on July 11, 1951. After a motivational appeal by the then district fire inspector at a meeting in 1957, 28 young men agreed to join the fire department. This enabled two new extinguishing groups to be formed.

It was first deployed in a major fire in the late summer of 1958. Since the Bauernheim fire brigade was barely able to extinguish the fire despite support, a second TS 8 was purchased soon afterwards . In the following year 1960 a portable pump trailer could be purchased for them . Thanks to a special procurement campaign by the Hessian Ministry of the Interior , the first portable pump vehicle (TSF) from Bauernheim could be obtained on September 2, 1971 . In the spring of 1972 the old syringe house was torn down and replaced by a fire station a year later.

Through a donation and membership campaign, 38 entries were registered in 1960. The fire brigade received 66 members and thus 26% of the village's residents. Through a similar action, 22 entries were counted in 1972 so that in 1973 100 people were members. On May 1st 1974 the youth fire brigade was founded with 15 members. Thanks to the improved financial situation of the fire in autumn 1976 was Volkswagen -Kleinbus purchased and then to the crew transport vehicle be converted (MTF). This MTF was replaced in 1981 by a disused vehicle from a local utility company. This vehicle was in turn replaced in 1992 by another, newer MTF, which was replaced in 2014 by an MTF from the Fiat Ducato III brand .

Inauguration of the fire station III

On June 21, 2014 the new fire station Bauernheims u. a. inaugurated by the mayor of the district town Friedberg , the mayor of Bauernheim, the military leader of the volunteer fire brigade Bauernheim and blessed by the pastor of the evangelical parish of Dorheim-Bauernheim. The celebration officially began at 11 a.m. and began with a procession by the Dorheim Music Corps through the village. For this occasion and to entertain the guests, fire engines from the city center (including turntable ladder vehicles , command vehicles and others) and vehicles from the Hesse disaster control department came . Together with the partly newly purchased or replaced vehicles from the Bauernheim fire brigade, they were lined up one behind the other on the new Reinhold-Höres Straße along the full length of the street.

There was musical accompaniment and a constant supply of stews, cakes and grilled food as well as various drinks. On the occasion of the inauguration, around 25 members of the association were honored for their longstanding membership. There was also the opportunity to visit the fire station and vehicles.

Syringe house I

The old syringe house was demolished in 1972 and built in an indefinite period of time. It provided space for earlier hand-held sprayers and later for portable pumps with trailers. At that time the followers were in the local stud -based horse moves. The same building also housed the municipal administration, a warehouse and another room, which at times served as an apartment for the baker from outside. The syringe house existed at a time when Bauernheim only had around 150 inhabitants, which is why its capacity was still sufficient for the time being. The historic building probably also had a hose tower .

Syringe house II

In 1973 a new fire station was built in Bauernheim. This was necessary because the rapid growth of houses and population made it necessary to expand the local fire department. The building erected then was a single garage . In 1982 the house was rebuilt, a partition was removed and the floor was tiled to accommodate the new vehicles. It was only expanded in 1985. This created a classroom that doubles as a changing room . In 1999 it was expanded one last time to make room for the technical equipment.

Second fire station with an old MTF in front of it

Syringe house III

The new fire station, built in 2014, exceeds the dimensions of the old building by far. The building now has three parking spaces, which can also accommodate larger vehicles. The vehicle hall is equipped with modern ventilation systems, which enables the vehicles to run in the hall without the exhaust gases spreading in the building. It is adjoined by a spacious men's locker room with a separate women's locker room. Sanitary rooms and an office are located in an adjoining corridor system . In the basement of the building, which is built on a slope, there is a common room with a kitchenette and a seminar room. Overall, all halls are very spacious, modern and well equipped compared to the old fire station.

The yard in front of the fire brigade was also enlarged by the building placed further back. In the future, this space and the spacious garage will provide sufficient space for parties and gatherings such as the inauguration ceremony. The fire station got a flagpole on which an advertising flag for the fire brigade was hoisted. The old external single garage was taken over by the new fire brigade and was repainted so that it fits into the color scheme of the fire station. The garage serves as a warehouse .

Since the parking spaces for the fire fighters on Dorn-Assenheimer Straße are very limited, parking spaces for a total of five cars have been created on the old fire station (on the right side of the current one) . The square is surrounded by a belt of green spaces . There is a small meadow behind the fire station .
