Bad Cannstatt , until July 23, 1933 Cannstatt , formerly also known officially as Kannstadt (around 1900), Canstatt or Cannstadt , is the oldest and most populous district of the Baden-Württemberg state capital Stuttgart . Bad Cannstatt lies on both sides of the Neckar and was founded in Roman times .

Overview

Cannstatt mineral thermal bath

Apart from the botanical-zoological garden Wilhelma , the 19 mineral springs ("Sauerwasserstadt") and the spa facilities , Bad Cannstatt is known for the Cannstatter Volksfest , the Mercedes-Benz Arena ( VfB Stuttgart ), the Hanns-Martin , which takes place every autumn at the Cannstatter Wasen -Schleyer-Halle and the Porsche-Arena .

Thanks to Gottlieb Daimler , Cannstatt is considered the birthplace of motorcycles and automobiles . In addition, the first Württemberg railway and the world's first motorized tram ran in Cannstatt (see history ).

Bad Cannstatt has after Újbuda , the XI. District of Budapest , the second largest mineral water resource in Europe (see also town twinning ). The mineral springs in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt and Berg were already known to the Romans and were used by them. 22 million liters of spring discharge every day is one of the most productive in Western Europe. The second largest thermal springs in Europe also bubble in Stuttgart. Of 19 mineral springs, 11 are officially recognized as medicinal springs. The Mombach spring is the only spring in Bad Cannstatt where mineral water emerges from the ground in large quantities without pressure; the mineral water is used in the neighboring baths as well as in the Wilhelma.

Jokingly is still instead of the correct name Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt from Stuttgart in Cannstatt 's speech, as the state capital in the basin of the Nesenbach on the other side of the Neckar was only founded much later and CAN place until the unification in 1905 as official district was self-employed.

The Cannstatter are also called "moon extinguishers" as a nickname; this goes back to a false alarm by the Cannstatter fire brigade on Holy Saturday 1887, which was triggered by the full moon.

history

prehistory

As early as the last Ice Age , the area around the Seelberg was used by mammoth hunters as a deposit, as found in the travertine quarry on today's Seelbergstrasse has shown. The quarry was already exploited in the 18th century. Today there is a modern shopping center there. In pre-Roman times there was a Celtic settlement on the Hallschlag on the site of the Reiterkaserne , the name of which has not been passed down.

Roman fort Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt

In Roman times, Cannstatt was an important city, probably even the capital of a civitas . The area came under Roman rule around the year 90. Whereas the year 85 AD was previously assumed to be the date of foundation, there have been approaches in recent literature since the 1990s to assume that the year 98 AD was more likely to be the beginning of the Roman presence in this area. The discussion is not yet over.

In Cannstatt, the Romans built a cavalry fort on the Altenburg in the Hallschlag district of Cannstatt ( Alenkastell , see Ala ). The Ala I Scubulorum, one of the strongest Roman military units, was located here between the Roman legion camps of Mainz and Augsburg . The fort existed until the Neckar-Odenwald-Limes was moved forward by around 30 kilometers to the east, probably in 159 AD. The Roman Cannstatt was also very important as a civilian settlement. Litter finds show a size of at least 19 hectares. This made Cannstatt one of the largest Roman cities in what is now Baden-Württemberg after Ladenburg and Rottenburg , roughly on a par with Wimpfen , Rottweil and Heidenheim an der Brenz . However, large Roman buildings (water pipes, thermal baths, theaters, city walls, forum buildings, etc.) have not yet been proven. The village owned a larger civil brick factory which, in addition to pottery, also produced sophisticated building ceramics. The end of Roman Cannstatt came with the great Alemannic invasion of 259/260 AD. The Latin name of the city is unknown.

Middle Ages to the present

In the Metz annals of the early 9th century, Cannstatt is written in connection with the events of 746 (see below) "condistat". There is hardly any plausible Germanic, but obvious Latin etymology for this name (cf. Latin “condita” = the founded). Hence the hypothesis that the Latin name of the city could have started with Condi. The archaeologist C. S. Sommer identifies Cannstatt with the "Civitas Aurelia G", which is mentioned in a Roman inscription found near Öhringen . A Celtic origin is also suggested: the name is said to have developed from * Kondâti- (Celtic: "confluence") to Alemannic * Chandez , which was later expanded to include stat . This thesis is supported by further, presumably Celtic place names in the nearby area (former suburb + Brey , Prague- saddle and Castle Wirtem mountain ). See essay A. Greule (literature).

There is no news about Cannstatt from the migration period . One can assume, however, that an urban settlement continuously existed at the conveniently located place. This is also supported by the very early mentions of the 8th century.

Cannstatt was first mentioned in a document around the year 700 in a deed of donation to the St. Gallen monastery . In 708 the settlement was first referred to as "Canstat ad Neccarum". The so-called blood court at Cannstatt in 746, in which Karl Martell's son Karlmann killed almost the entire ruling class of the Alemanni, meant the end of Theudebald's power. At the same time, the Carolingian caretakers had finally triumphed over the Alamanni . The city was raised in 1330 by Emperor Ludwig IV (the Bavarian) . In the 15th century, the Counts of Württemberg tried to make the Neckar navigable as far as Cannstatt. However, the project failed because of the stubborn resistance of the then imperial city of Heilbronn . A settlement was reached in 1557 with the help of Emperor Charles V , but the making the Neckar between Cannstatt and Heilbronn navigable was not completed until 1713. At the same time, the first Cannstatter port on Mühlgrün was inaugurated by Duke Eberhard Ludwig von Württemberg .

The upper administrative city of Cannstatt flourished in the 18th and especially in the 19th century during the times of the Kingdom of Württemberg as a health resort and resort for many prominent and well-off guests, among them Honoré de Balzac . On October 22nd, 1845, the first train of the new Württemberg railway ran from the Cannstatter Bahnhof to Untertürkheim .

In 1862 Charles Terrot and the businessman Wilhelm Stücklen founded the company “Stücklen u. Terrot " for the production of textile machines , which from 1878 under" C. Terrot ”was named. In 2008 the demolition of the Terrot works began; the company has moved to Chemnitz . Gottlieb Daimler's “Reitwagen” was the first motorcycle in the world to drive through Cannstatt in 1885 . In 1876 a new synagogue was built for the Jewish community of up to 500 people in Cannstatt in the following years. During that time, Jewish entrepreneurs made a significant contribution to the industrialization of the city. So were u. a. since 1863 the bed spring factory Straus & Cie. and in 1882 the corset factory Sigmund Lindauer u. Cie. founded, a worldwide leading company in the corset industry - founded in 1865 as H. Guttman & Co. - was continued from 1938 under Wilhelm Meyer-Ilschen. On November 10, 1938 , the synagogue was burned down by the fire brigade directed by the SA . Since 1961, a memorial stone created by Herbert Gebauer has been commemorating this event. In 1952 a stone from the Föhrenwald camp was erected on the Israelite part of the new “central cemetery” as a memorial stone for the victims of the concentration camps .

On November 10, 1885, Paul Daimler drove his father's first “ riding car ” with a built-in “grandfather clock” from Cannstatt to Untertürkheim. A year later, Gottlieb Daimler was driving his four-wheeled motor vehicle on the streets of Cannstatt. In 1887 he let the world's first motorized tram run between Kursaal and Wilhelmsplatz . On August 10, 1888, Daimler's motorized airship rose from the Cannstatter Seelberg to Kornwestheim for the first time . The pilot was a mechanic from Gotthilf Wirsum from Dresden. The Cannstatter company ASTO (Erste Württembergische Locomobilfabrik Assmann & Stockder GmbH) manufactured steam locomotives for agriculture from 1901, among other things . In the 19th and 20th centuries, Bad Cannstatt was an important location for other mechanical engineering companies, such as Friedrich Hesser, Maschinenfabrik , Hildt & Metzger or the Fortuna-Werke .

On April 1, 1905, the upper administrative city of Cannstatt was united with the residential city of Stuttgart, but not incorporated. The National Socialists took over the government on January 30th, 1933 and Cannstatt was given the title “Bad”, which is still not used by many locals to this day.

In February 2006, the Cannstatter Carré shopping center opened with 40 shops on the former Trafo-Union factory site. The construction costs amounted to 100 million euros. One month later, the “Control Center for Security and Mobility Stuttgart- SIMOS ” was put into operation on the premises of the Bad Cannstatt main fire station . All emergency calls in Stuttgart for the fire brigade and rescue service are coordinated here and the central control of the traffic lights is carried out.

Oberamt Cannstatt

In 1624 the district of Cannstatt consisted of the following places: Cannstatt, Fellbach, Hedelfingen, Münster, Obertürkheim, Rohracker, Rommelshausen, Rothenberg, Sillenbuch, Uhlbach and Untertürkheim. The communities Kornwestheim and Zuffenhausen were given to Ludwigsburg in 1718. For this purpose, Feuerbach was added in 1718 (until 1736), Weil im Dorf (until 1807) and Schmiden. In 1737, Cannstatt was added to Beutelsbach (until 1739). In 1739 Zuffenhausen was reassigned to Cannstatt, but only stayed until 1762. Hofen came under the Cannstatter Stab in 1754, Mühlhausen and Zazenhausen were connected with Cannstatt in 1807. 1808 came Hegnach, Stetten i. R., Schanbach, Lobenroth and in 1810 Oeffingen added to the Cannstatt district. From 1889 onwards, the Cannstatt District Office included: Cannstatt, Fellbach , Hedelfingen , Hofen , Mühlhausen , Münster , Obertürkheim , Oeffingen , Rohracker , Rommelshausen , Rothenberg , Schanbach with Lobenroth , Schmiden , Sillenbuch , Stetten i. R. , Uhlbach , Untertürkheim , Wangen and Zazenhausen .

Districts

When the city of Stuttgart was divided into city districts in 1956, the Bad Cannstatt district was combined with the Burgholzhof district (created as an estate in 1831), Sommerrain and Steinhaldenfeld (both created from 1932) to form the Bad Cannstatt district .

When the Stuttgart districts were reorganized on January 1, 2001, the Bad Cannstatt district was divided into the districts of Altenburg , Birkenäcker , Cannstatt-Mitte , Espan , Hallschlag , Im Geiger , Kurpark , Muckensturm , Neckarvorstadt , Pragstrasse , Schmidener Vorstadt , Seelberg , Veielbrunnen , Wasen and winter heap. Since then, the district town hall in Bad Cannstatt has managed a total of 18 districts in the Bad Cannstatt district.

The Bad Cannstatt district is the largest and oldest district in Stuttgart with 68,000 inhabitants (as of November 30, 2007).

Parks

Wilhelma around 1900

The upper and lower palace gardens merge seamlessly into the Rosensteinpark belonging to Bad Cannstatt , which is bordered in the southwest by tracks, to the north by the Wilhelma zoological-botanical garden and "Pragstrasse" and in the northwest by the Löwentor. Due to the old trees and the extensive meadows, the Rosenstein Park is the largest English landscape park in southwest Germany. King Wilhelm I had the garden laid out between 1824 and 1840, which included the construction of the classical palace - today's Rosenstein Museum.

The most famous zoological-botanical garden in the city of Stuttgart is the Wilhelma . It has existed in its present form since 1953. Around 8,000 animals of 1,050 species and around 5,000 plant species are shown in the historical palace complex. Originally intended as a "bathhouse", construction began in 1842 on the first building, which was named Wilhelma on the instructions of the king. The architect Zanth succeeded in combining what was understood by the Moorish style with the skills of German craftsmen, the living needs of a Swabian monarch and the Central European climate. When Wilhelma was inaugurated in 1846, there was a ballroom, two main buildings with several court rooms, various pavilions, greenhouses and spacious parks.

Immediately adjacent to the Kursaal Bad Cannstatt is the Kurpark , which, partly on steeply sloping terrain, has old trees from the 19th century. The Gottlieb Daimler Memorial is located in the spa gardens. Below this workshop is the Daimler monument by Emil Kiemlen, above is the Daimler tower, built in 1894.

The travertine park in the Hallschlag district of the Bad Cannstatt district was opened in mid-2010 . In addition to the historic crane runway, remains of the former industrial railway can be found scattered across the entire park. The park provides information about the origin and use of the travertine rock , which was mined in the integrated quarry until 2007 .

Uff-Kirchhof with Liebfrauenkirche

The Uff-Kirchhof in Bad Cannstatt is one of the oldest cemeteries in Stuttgart. It was built in the eighth or ninth century at the crossroads of a Roman road and has served as a cemetery for the parish of the Uffkirche since the Middle Ages. Gottlieb Daimler , Wilhelm Maybach and Ferdinand Freiligrath , among others, are buried there.

The Steigfriedhof in the Altenburg district of Cannstatt, with its establishment in the 6th century, is one of the oldest in the city of Stuttgart. It originated from a Frankish burial ground. Thaddäus Troll and Helga Feddersen, among others, found their final resting place here .

The main cemetery, which opened in 1918, is located in the Muckensturm district of Bad Cannstatt . With 29.6 hectares, it is the second largest cemetery in Stuttgart. He has had an Armenian cemetery since 1944 and a Muslim one since 1985. A large Jewish burial ground was laid out in 1937/38 as there was a shortage of space in the Prague cemetery . In the main cemetery there is a field of honor for 271 victims of euthanasia during the Nazi era.

Medicinal springs and spa facilities

With more than 500 l / s, Bad Cannstatt has the second largest mineral water distribution in Europe after Budapest. This resulted in applications as a spa and medicinal bath at an early stage. There are relics of Roman baths and a document from 1377 gives information about the medieval bathing industry. In 1773 a mineral spring was found in the area of ​​today's Kursaal when drilling for salt. The health resort experienced its heyday from 1835 to 1870, but was then replaced by the industrialization of Cannstatt.

From the cannstatt mineral water distribution, 11 of the 20 mineral springs are now officially recognized as medicinal springs. They are used in spa and bathing operations in the Cannstatt, Leuze and Berg mineral baths.

Events

Good Friday procession

Every year from mid-April to early May, the Stuttgart Spring Festival takes place on the Cannstatter Wasen . The Cannstatter Fischerstechen takes place every two years in uneven years at the end of July, and from the end of September to the beginning of October there is also the Cannstatter Volksfest with a parade. On the first and second Saturday of November, Daimler AG organizes the Motorsport Day Stars and Cars around the Mercedes-Benz world .

Every year the fools' guild Kübelesmarkt Bad Cannstatt organizes the Kübelesrennen in the old town on "Schmotzige Thursday" and the purring and schnitzel bank on Carnival Monday. Calling greed is also part of the established carnival tradition. From January 23rd to 25th, 2009 the European Fools Festival took place in Bad Cannstatt. The highlight was the parade on Sunday, when 4,000 fools from 11 countries marched through downtown Bad Cannstatt.

Since 1979 Italian migrants have been organizing the custom of a traditional Good Friday procession, which originated in southern Italy. Thousands of Italians, Germans and other Christians move from the market square through the streets of Bad Cannstatt to the spa gardens. The scenes are played in Italian, but the content is announced in German. With around 70 amateur actors from the Italian Catholic community in Stuttgart and around 50 other volunteers from the parishes of Liebfrauen, St. Peter and St. Rupert, as well as the Missione Cattolica Italiana, who support the various productions, the procession begins with the condemnation of Christ on the market square behind the town church. A male and female voice tell the story of the crucifixion over loudspeakers on a minibus. In Bad Cannstatt, historical costumes are played, but the scenes of violence and blood at the crucifixion are omitted. Jesus is only tied to the cross with a few bast ropes instead of nails. With a crown of thorns and a heavy wooden cross, escorted by a handful of Roman soldiers under the direction of a centurion, you go through various streets of Bad Cannstatt to the spa gardens. On the way, the handing over of the handkerchief and the help of Simon of Cyrene , who helps to carry the heavy cross, are re-enacted. In the upper spa gardens, the Good Friday procession culminates with the crucifixion scene, which is musically framed by trombone players. In 2007 more than 7,000 worshipers followed this procession.
