traffic

The old train station in Dölau

Dölau is served by the Halleschen Verkehrs-AG bus line 21 , which connects the district with Kröllwitz in the east and Neustadt in the south. OBS buses also run to the main station and the Saalekreis . In the previous century, a railway line connected Dölau with the main train station in Halle and Hettstedt , but this was largely dismantled. A support association wants to restore the railway line and use it with museum trains.

West of Dölau, the Federal Motorway 143 is to be used as an exit called Salzmünde, which will also connect Dölau. However, the construction of this motorway has been successfully prevented by NABU Halle for years.

Areas for a possible northern bypass Dölaus are kept free in the zoning plan of the city of Halle.

Buildings

In the southwest of the district there is the forest hospital, which was initially built as an air force hospital from 1936 to 1942, and is now the Martha-Maria Halle-Dölau gGmbH Clinic .

history

Mehir Steinerne Jungfrau north of Dölau

On the outskirts of Halle-Dölau, on Jungfrauenweg near Neuragoczystraße, in the immediate vicinity of a garden, is the second highest menhir in Germany, the “ Stone Jungfrau ”, and testifies to the settlement of the region in the Neolithic Age . On the site of the Bischofswiese in the east there is a Neolithic fortification, here there were finds from the Baalberg culture (4100–3600 BC) and the Bernburg culture (3300–2800 BC).

Dölau belonged to the Giebichenstein office in the hall circle of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg . In 1680 the place came with the Saalkreis to the Duchy of Magdeburg under Brandenburg-Prussian rule. With the Peace of Tilsit in 1807, Dölau was incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia and assigned to the Halle district in the Saale department. The place belonged to the canton Halle-Land . After Napoleon's defeat and the end of the Kingdom of Westphalia, Napoleon's allied opponents liberated the Saalkreis in early October 1813. During the political reorganization after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the place was attached to the administrative district of Merseburg in the Prussian province of Saxony and assigned to the Saalkreis.

On July 1, 1950 Dölau was incorporated into Halle (Saale).

In the Halle-Dölau district hospital, the Protestant pastor Oskar Brüsewitz succumbed to the burns he inflicted on himself in protest against the GDR authorities in Zeitz on August 22, 1976 .

Since 1964 Dölau was the western terminus of the S-Bahn Halle . On August 1, 2002, traffic in the section from Nietleben via the Heidebahnhof to Halle-Dölau was stopped.

On the evening of July 7th, 2015, a severe storm hit Dölau and the northwest of Halle. Roofs were covered and trees uprooted, and some roads were impassable. Some residents reported a tornado.
