Bremer Schlagd
The Bremer Schlagd is a 100 meter long street in the old town of Hann. Münden , which runs parallel to the banks of the Fulda . At the same time it is a historical Schlagd , which, like the Kassel and Wanfrieder Schlagd of shipping for centuries as a shipping pier served Warenumschlags- and trading center.
Surname
The name Schlagd comes from slagt for driving in bank piles, which were connected to each other with beams and braided fascines and thus provided the bank reinforcement. The name comes from Low German and is used in a different form, as in the more original battle , for similar bank areas throughout northern Germany. The Schlagd was named after the town of Bremen , as shipping on the Weser led from Münden to this town.
location
The Bremer Schlagd begins in the north at the Schlagdspitze, which it forms together with the Wanfrieder Schlagd . This point is located in the northwest corner of the historic old town, where the right arm of the Fulda and the left arm of the Werra flow together and form the Kleine Weser between Tanzwerder and Doktorwerder . The Bremer Schlagd runs south to the Mühlenbrücke , which is a pedestrian bridge that connects the old town over the Eselwerder with the Tanzwerder. At the height of the mill bridge, the Kasseler Schlagd connects to the south .
history
Münden's stacking rights, granted in 1247, helped the city of Münden, which is located on the three rivers Weser , Werra and Fulda , to prosper and prosper. The ship docks, which initially consisted of wooden fortifications, were fortified with masonry in the 1580s so that ships could dock easily and goods could be safely stored. In the 16th century, Duke Erich II granted the city the right to levy strike money, as the expansion and maintenance of the strike facilities resulted in high costs.
The Bremer Schlagd, on which the shipping traffic between Münden and Bremen was handled, was the most important trading point of the place. Warehouses for trading goods can be found there as early as the 14th century. In 1837 the warehouse of the Old Packhof , which still exists today, was built . With the advent of the railway, which connected the cities of Kassel and Hanover as the Hannöversche Südbahn in 1856 , inland waterway traffic in Münden declined. In 1905 the Schlagden were given up as a ship landing stage. After that, freight traffic on the Weser ran via the Weser transshipment point built in 1906 .
today
As the intersection between the city and the rivers, the historical Schlagden in Hann. Münden is a document of trade and shipping from a monument preservation point of view. Today, the three Schlagd areas together with the two packing yards, the city wall houses, the old Werra bridge , the needle weir and the Werdern ( Doktor- , Esel- und Tanzwerder ) form a significant and impressive urban development Ensemble. After the decline of the Schlagden as a trading center at the end of the 19th century, they were degraded to traffic areas with parking lots in the course of the 20th century. An integrated urban development concept (ISEK) from 2008, commissioned by the city, pointed to this deficiency and recommended a renovation and redesign of the Schlagden because of its tourist potential. Structural measures have been carried out in this context so far (2016) on the Kasseler Schlagd.
