history

Game on the Neuenheimer Neckarufer. At the place of the villa on the left in the picture was the former mill of the village of Dagersbach

The place essentially consisted of a Meierhof of the Lobenfeld Monastery and surrounding farmsteads. In 1261 or 1263 a certificate was issued in Dagersbach. A little later the courtyard of the Lobenfeld monastery was closed and after 1286 the place is no longer documented. However, in the area of ​​today's Hirschgasse, individual houses still appear on early city views, so that there may be a continuity of settlement from the medieval to the current development. The district of Dagersbach was completely added to the community of Neuenheim and came with this in 1891 to the city of Heidelberg.

The Hotel Hirschgasse is located on the site of the former Lobenfelder Meierhof.

The Church of Dagersbach that the angels consecrated Angels Church , was in when Won needle today Philosophers . The church can still be seen intact on old views from the early 17th century. It was probably part of a pilgrimage from the Neckar valley to the monasteries on the Heiligenberg . After the Thirty Years' War the church was a hostel for poor people . Jews who spent the night there gave their name to the neighboring forest, Judenhütte . In 1810 the Holzlipsband used the church as a robber camp. When the Philosophenweg was expanded in 1840, structural remains of the church were used as building material. Parts of the church walls with a well from 1571 were preserved as the property boundary to the Philosophenweg. A memorial stone for the Angel Church was erected in 1993 at the Hölderlin complex on Philosophenweg on the site of the former Dagersbach cemetery.

The Lobenfelder Hofgut was located on the site of today's Hotel Hirschgasse . The mill pond of the Dagersbach mill was located behind this hotel until the recent past, but has now been built over with new buildings. From the mill itself, a fragment of a keystone with miller's mark, initials and the year 1583 has been preserved on the villa at the corner of Ziegelhäuser Landstrasse / Hirschgasse, which is now in its place .
