Buchschlag is a district of Dreieich in the Offenbach district in southern Hesse .

Geographical location

Buchschlag is the lower end point of the continuous settlement axis that connects four Dreieich districts, namely Buchschlag, Sprendlingen , Dreieichenhain and Götzenhain , along the Hengstbach in a north-west-south-east direction . The Hengstbach flows to the northwest and is the source of the Schwarzbach , which in turn flows south of the Mainspitze into the Rhine .

Buchschlag is cleared in a relatively flat, closed forest area. The oldest part of Buchschlag extends between Buchschlager Allee , Hengstbach and the railway line and is oriented towards the train station. Since then, the location has expanded far beyond the Hengstbach to the north, so that the Evangelical and Catholic Churches form the center of the village there. A residential area has also emerged south of Buchschlager Allee.

Buchschlag borders in the east on Sprendlingen, in the north-west on the forest area of Neu-Isenburg and in the south-west on that of Langen (Hesse) .

The municipal area is 528 hectares, 409 hectares of which are forested (status: 1961). The high proportion of forest is due to the fact that apart from the location almost all areas are forested.

In Buchschlag, at 113 meters, the lowest point of the entire Dreieich urban area, the Bachgrundschneise , is where the Hengstbach leaves the urban area to the west towards Zeppelinheim . A few hundred meters to the south, the 49-meter-high fill of the disused garbage dump represents the highest point in the Buchschlag district.

Buchschlag, the lowest-lying district of Dreieich, was the ideal location for the municipal sewage treatment plant . It was built on the Hengstbach stream, west of the outskirts in the forest.

history

The name Buchschlag used to refer to a forest district at this point. It is derived from an old beech stand near a barrier of the former Dreieicher Ringlandwehr on the road towards Mitteldick . Before the town of Buchschlag was founded, a Hessian district forest ranger had existed at this point since 1837 . In 1879, the Sprendlingens station was built in the middle of the forest on the Main-Neckar railway line . The station building has been preserved to this day.

The Frankfurt merchant Jakob Latscha acquired land for a refuge and a coffee kitchen in the forest area of Mitteldick from Sprendlinger farmers . Forest services as well as sports and field games of the Christian Association of Young Men were held here.

Latscha's idea was to build a settlement in which Frankfurt's petty bourgeoisie could purchase affordable single and two-family houses on spacious plots in healthy, wooded surroundings. The land required for this project was owned by the Dominial Administration of Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig von Hessen . On July 1, 1904, both sides signed the settlement agreement. But the Grand Duke steered the development in other directions. He saw here the chance to realize his building aesthetic ideals and preferred builders, artists and artisans from Darmstadt. There were no houses for the public that Jakob Latscha had thought of, but villas for more financially strong buyers. Jakob Latscha withdrew disappointed. He never lived in Buchschlag.

With effect from January 1, 1905, the part of the Domanialgemarkung Mitteldick east of the Main-Neckar-Bahn and north of the newly built railway line from the (Buchschlag-) Sprendlinger Bahnhof to Ober-Roden was separated from this area with an area of ​​121.84 hectares and declared Buchschlag to be a separate area . The administration was carried out by the city of Langen. The creation of an independent municipality in Buchschlag, with its own district corresponding to the previous independent Buchschlag district, was approved by the Grand Ducal Ministry of the Interior with effect from April 15, 1913. The first mayor from 1913 was Rudolf Binding . Previously, the settlement had no municipal rights and was a legal gray area. In 1909 Buchschlag already had 343 inhabitants, when it was merged in 1977 it was 2,984. Buchschlag has largely been able to preserve the character of a villa colony to this day: many Art Nouveau villas in the town center have been preserved and are listed as an ensemble . The newer parts of Buchschlag mostly also consist of detached houses. There are only a few row houses and a few blocks of flats on the main street Buchschlager Allee .

Territorial reform

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse on January 1, 1977, the law on the reorganization of the Offenbach district merged the cities of Dreieichenhain and Sprendlingen and the communities of Buchschlag, Götzenhain and Offenthal to form a city with the name Dreieich . Local districts for the city districts were not established.

Blazon : “In a red shield head a silver oak branch with three acorns (Dreieich). Underneath in the silver is the red stump of a beech, from both sides of which a fresh shoot with red leaves is growing (book cover). "

The coat of arms of the municipality of Buchschlag in the Offenbach district was approved by the Hessian Minister of the Interior on September 21, 1950 . It was designed by the heraldist Georg Massoth.

The stump in the lower part shows talking a beaten book. The fresh shoots are supposed to symbolize the growth of the still young community. The oak branch is the symbol of the Wildbannes Dreieich , in whose former area the community was founded.

The flag was approved by the Hessian Minister of the Interior on March 14, 1957 and is described as follows:

"The municipal coat of arms on a flag cloth divided by red and white vertical stripes."

Economy and Infrastructure

Economic structure

Buchschlag has a small industrial park on the western edge of the town beyond the level crossing at the train station.

In the forest area on the western boundary of the district, the city of Frankfurt operated the Buchschlag landfill on the site of a former gravel pit , which at the time was the largest landfill in Europe. after the shutdown, the surface was sealed with a layer of clay. A 49-meter-high forest-free embankment was created on an area of ​​around 40 hectares. At the end of 2011, the largest photovoltaic system in Hesse was completed on this site with 40,000 modules on an area of ​​109,000 square meters . It can generate around 7.6 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually.
