Daxlanden is a district of Karlsruhe in Baden-Württemberg .

The former fishing village is located west of Karlsruhe city center not far from the Rhine on the Alb . Daxlanden has around 12,000 inhabitants.

The residents' regional nickname is Schlaucher . According to the local dialect, Daxlanden is pronounced Daxlanne .

history

In 1261 Daxlanden is mentioned for the first time in a papal document as "villa daslar". The place is certainly older, as the ownership of the Weissenburg Abbey and the Gottesaue Abbey in Daxlanden indicate.

The Appenmühle was first mentioned in 1396, when it was confirmed as a donation to the hospital in Baden (today Baden-Baden ). It remains in the possession of the hospital until the 18th century and is a ban mill for the surrounding communities of Bulach, Beiertheim, Daxlanden, Mühlburg and Knielingen.

Archbishop Friedrich zu Köln decided in 1407 a dispute over hunting rights in the " Daheslarerau " and other areas between King Rupprecht of Bavaria and Margrave Bernhard I of Baden in favor of the latter.

Around 1463 Daxlanden got its own parish, before it belonged to Forchheim . When the margraviate of Baden was divided in 1535, Daxlanden fell to Baden-Baden and was then part of the Ettlingen district. The gold panning in Goldgrund near Daxlanden experienced its heyday in 1579. From the 18th century it becomes unproductive.

March 6, 1651 saw the worst catastrophe for Daxlanden. After a dam burst on the Rhine, 700 acres of fields, 20 houses and the church are destroyed by flooding. Half of the place is about to sink into the Rhine. After many flood disasters that had struck the place, the new Daxlanden is being rebuilt on the Hochgestade, set back.

The Appenmühle, which was destroyed in the Thirty Years War , is rebuilt in 1665.

In 1673/77 new dams on the Rhine were built around Daxlanden and Rappenwörth. Attempts had already been made several times to tame the Rhine by building dams and making corrections.

In 1689 the village and the Appenmühle were destroyed in the Palatinate War of Succession , as were the surrounding villages and towns, by the troops of King Louis XIV of France.

From 1819 to 1821 the Rhine correction at Daxlanden was carried out according to plans by Johann Gottfried Tulla . With this, however, the place loses its function as a shipping and customs station at Maxau . Rappenwört is now finally on the right bank of the Rhine, as the course of the Rhine no longer changes.

By deriving the Federbach in 1850, the Fritschlach and the Kastenwört are drained and 1,700 acres of valuable land are gained for cultivation.

In 1894 the city of Karlsruhe bought the Appenmühle in the Daxlander district with the inn, which has now become a popular excursion destination for the people of Karlsruhe. After a fire in the mill building in 1895, it was rebuilt in the same year.

With the opening of the Rhine port in Mühlburg in 1901, partly on what was once the Daxlander district, the place's acquisition structure also changed. Through the work in the companies in the nearby industrial areas of the Rhine port and at Grünwinkel , the former fishing and farming village is increasingly turning into a workers' residence.

On January 1, 1910, Daxlanden with 4,227 inhabitants is incorporated into Karlsruhe.
