Degerloch is a district on the southern edge of downtown Stuttgart on the Filder plain . The Degerloch district was formed in 1956 through the merger of the Degerloch community, which was independent until 1908, and the Hoffeld district of Stuttgart, which was founded in the 1930s.

geography

Ramsbachtal in winter

Degerloch is located on the northern edge of the Filder plateau, which is over 200 m higher than downtown Stuttgart. From the highest point on the Bopser (also called Hoher Bopser ) near the water tower ( 485.2  m above sea  level ), Degerloch falls steeply to the north towards the city center, and to the south it slopes gently towards the Ramsbach valley, a Körsch tributary.

In the north of the built-up area is the business center, to the south of which is the old center with Michaelskirche, Zehntscheuer, the district town hall (civic center), which was completely renovated in 2006, and the fire station built in 2005. The “Tränke” industrial park is located in the southwest.

The buildings are connected to fields, meadows and gardens in the west and south (Ramsbachtal), and forests in the east. In the north, the residential development, loosened up according to the gradient, merges into the inner city. The remainder of the Degerloch Scharrenberg , which still occupied 23 hectares around 1850 (see viticulture in Stuttgart ), is 3.5 hectares of vineyards in the southwest .

Residential area

The residential areas Waldau and Haigst are considered to be one of the most expensive addresses in Stuttgart. Numerous villas and detached houses with large gardens, many with views of the city center, characterize these areas.

The first Federal President of the Federal Republic, Theodor Heuss, lived for some time in a villa on Löwenstrasse . The villa is now marked with a plaque.

history

The oldest finds of human settlements in and around Degerloch, including a village from the spiral ceramic period, date from the Neolithic around 2000 BC. There are also finds from the Hallstatt period (800–400 BC, burial mounds and two settlements) and from the time of the Celts (turn of the century, urns). Today's settlement probably originated from Möhringen at the time of the Alemanni around 500 AD . The name is derived from the Old High German word "Tegerlohe" and means "dense forest". This was probably originally used to describe the forest west of Möhringen and this name was carried over to the settlement, which for a long time only consisted of individual farms.

Degerloch was first mentioned in a document around 1100 in a donation to the Hirsau monastery and at that time comprised twelve houses. In 1295 the Counts of Württemberg acquired the place Degerloch, while the mother place Möhringen came to the imperial city of Esslingen am Neckar . The places on the border suffered a lot in the conflict between Esslingen and Württemberg in the 14th and 15th centuries. In 1449 Degerloch was burned down by Esslinger. In the Peasants 'War , in the Thirty Years' War , in the Palatinate War of Succession and in the Napoleonic Wars , troops marched through and plundered.

A chapel in Degerloch was first mentioned in 1361 and in 1468, after the church was detached from Möhringen, it was raised to a parish church. Like all of Württemberg, Degerloch became Protestant in the course of the Reformation , Catholics have only been resident again since the late 19th century. In the 18th century, the population doubled from 502 in 1703 to 1,038 in 1807.

Degerloch has always been a place characterized by arable, fruit and wine growing with heavily parceled areas. Due to the small area (around 350 hectares), the Degerloch farmers leased about 180 hectares from the surrounding area around 1850. In the 19th century, due to the cramped and poor conditions, around 250 inhabitants initially emigrated, but Degerloch quickly fell into the maelstrom of industrialization , which led to a significant change in the Stuttgart area. With the Neue Weinsteige, which was laid out until 1831, as one of the most important access roads to Stuttgart, and the cog railway that went into operation in 1884 , the place had important transport connections and changed from a rural place to a handicraft and industrial suburb from around 1850 to 1890. The settlement of industry made for a certain prosperity. In 1904 a second transport connection with the state capital was added with the Neuen-Weinsteige-Linie .

On August 1, 1908, Degerloch was incorporated into Stuttgart and then run as a district.

Farm field from the southwest

During the Second World War , Degerloch was affected by the air raids on Stuttgart, which - as on the night of March 15 to 16, 1944 - often hit the surrounding area more than downtown Stuttgart. The heaviest air raid on Degerloch took place on the night of July 25th to 26th, 1944. On April 22nd, 1945 the NSDAP Lord Mayor Karl Strölin handed over the contested city of Stuttgart to French troops in the Degerloch inn "Zum Ritter".

The district of Hoffeld goes back to an Ittinghauser Hof , which was probably founded by Plieningen around 750 and mentioned around 1100 , from which the district name Hoffeld comes. The farm deteriorated in the 17th century, was then acquired by Degerloch and demolished in 1746. From 1926 to 1956, the Stuttgart-Degerloch transmitter was located on the courtyard field . Its two 100-meter-high steel lattice towers were used for broadcasting. After 1930 the Hoffeldsiedlung was built, which was expanded from 1955 to 1977 and was merged with Degerloch to form the Degerloch district in 1956.

When the Stuttgart districts were reorganized on January 1, 2001, the Degerloch district was divided into the districts of Degerloch (new), Haigst, Tränke and Waldau. With Hoffeld, the Degerloch district has since consisted of five districts.

Attractions

Sacred buildings

  • The Protestant Michaelskirche is the oldest church in the village and goes back to the chapel mentioned in 1361 and rebuilt and expanded by Heinrich Schickhardt in 1621 . It was given its present form by a new building in 1890. In 1961, the interior of the sacred building was redesigned according to designs by Hans Seytter .
  • The New Apostolic parish in Degerloch has existed at Leinfeldener Strasse 26 since 1914. Since 1937, it has had Degerloch's oldest pipe organ. The complete renovation in 1996 received a prize for exemplary building from the Baden-Württemberg Chamber of Architects .
  • The Catholic Church of the Assumption of Mary was consecrated in 1927, the Protestant Hoffeldkirche in 1933.

  • Evangelical Michaelskirche

  • Late classical tomb in the old cemetery

Secular buildings

  • The “Villa Weitbrecht” at Lohengrinstrasse 9 was designed by Wilhelm Lochstampfer together with GP Gessinger

Other

The cemeteries in Degerloch are also worth seeing:

  • The Stuttgart forest cemetery with the graves of numerous celebrities,
  • the Dornhaldenfriedhof with the graves of RAF members as well as
  • the old cemetery at the former cogwheel station, which was closed in 1870, with historical tombs.

From 1926 to 1930 the Süddeutsche Rundfunk operated its central transmission system for medium wave in Hoffeld . A T-antenna, which was suspended from two free-standing steel lattice towers, served as the antenna. These towers survived the Second World War and were dismantled towards the end of the 1950s; today there is a sports field on the former transmitter area. The Käshäusle , the last remnant of the village of Ittinghausen, was demolished in 1934.

A lookout tower on the corner of Hainbuchenweg and Nägelestraße (until 1938: Turmstraße), built by the brickworks owner Kühner in 1885/86 , which testifies to Degerloch's early days as a climatic health resort, was blown up in 1943 during the war. A cog railway stop was named after this observation tower until around 1900.

Schools / youth

In Degerloch there are four public schools sponsored by the city of Stuttgart, namely the Wilhelms-Gymnasium , the Fritz-Leonhardt-Realschule, the Filderschule (elementary school) and the Albschule (elementary school). There is also the private forest school , the Free Active School Stuttgart and the International School Stuttgart ( International School of Stuttgart ) built in 1998 , each sponsored by a registered association .

Sports facilities

Gazi Stadium on the Waldau

In the northeast, between the built-up area and the television tower, the Waldau sports center is located directly below the highest point of the Bopser with several sports fields, including:


Viticulture

In the single location Degerlocher Scharrenberg ( wine-growing region Württemberg , area Remstal-Stuttgart, large location Weinsteige), viticulture is pursued as a sideline or as a hobby. The grape variety mainly grown is the ubiquitous Trollinger in Württemberg .

The Degerloch Scharrenberg Trollinger dry vintage 2004 of the Stuttgart sommelier , wine merchant and part-time winemaker Bernd Kreis achieved first place in a Trollinger comparison test by the magazine Der Feinschmecker (July 2005 edition).
