Groundwater

In the 1960s and 1970s, suspected carcinogenic, volatile halogenated hydrocarbons from a large-scale purification in Bellenberg got into the groundwater.

The drinking water limit for these substances is a maximum of ten micrograms per liter. However, measurements show that this value is permanently exceeded in the groundwater west of the Bachstrasse and north of the Mühlbach (2008: 43 micrograms per liter; 2015: 38 micrograms per liter; 2017: 80 micrograms per liter; 2018: 64 micrograms per liter). Well water should therefore not be used in Bellenberg for watering or cleaning vegetables and fruit. It is also not suitable for bathing, showering, filling paddling pools or watering farm animals.

history

Bellenberg was first mentioned in a document in 1302 . Archaeological excavations have also shown that it was a settlement area as early as the Middle Bronze Age (around 1500 to 1300 BC) .

The castle on the Schlossberg was the center of the Bellenberg rule. It was destroyed by the Ulmers in the city ​​war at the end of the 14th century . The Lords of Ellerbach owned the Bellenberg estate from 1357 to 1570 . The people of Ulm used the stones from the destroyed castle as building material for the Ulm Minster .
