geography
Durmersheim is located in the 30 km wide Upper Rhine Plain , which is bordered to the east by the Black Forest and to the west by the French Vosges . The majority of the village lies on the Hochgestade at a height of 106 to 121 meters, the historic town center directly on the step to the Rhine valley . The 27 km long Federbach flows through the village . The east of the marking is covered by the Hardtwald . In the southwest there are parts of the Oberwald, in the west on Würmersheimer district are parts of the Rottlichwald and north a large part of the Federbach lowland .
Community structure
The former municipality of Würmersheim belongs to the municipality of Durmersheim . The village of Durmersheim and the pilgrimage church and monastery of Bickesheimer Kloster belong to the municipality of Durmersheim within the borders of December 31, 1973 . The village of Würmersheim belongs to the former municipality of Würmersheim.
Durmersheim
The main town of Durmersheim takes up the majority of the populated area. The place extends around 4 km in north-south direction along the old B 36 . In east-west direction, the main town is just 500 m wide. In the direction of Würmersheim there is a high-rise estate, called "Little Manhattan" by the locals (in the 1970s, the facility was predominantly inhabited by members of the US armed forces stationed in Karlsruhe). Würmersheim itself is about a square kilometer. There is also the currently newest building area TG III (Tiefgestade III), which is now largely built on.
Würmersheim
To the west of the mark lies the Rottlichwald . The Gießengraben forms the border with Au am Rhein, the Alte Federbach forms the border with Durmersheim in the south. In the north of Würmersheim the border is the Kunzenbach . In the east, the border is as follows: The border begins at the Kunzenbach and passes west of the northwest industrial area, passes the east of the TG3 construction area and finally goes through between TG I and TG II until the border ends again in the south at the old Federbach.
climate
The annual average temperature is 11.4 ° C and rainfall 770 mm. There is less rainfall in the Rhine valley than in the Black Forest or the Vosges. Months with high rainfall are May, June and July. March and September have the lowest rainfall. The relative humidity averages 76%. In the Rhine Valley there is often fog in autumn due to the valley location . In 2005, nearby Karlsruhe was the warmest city in Germany. Agriculture benefits from the mild climate of the Rhine plain (cultivation of strawberries and asparagus).
Neighboring places
The towns of Rheinstetten , Malsch , Bietigheim , Elchesheim-Illingen and Au am Rhein are in the immediate vicinity . There are around 2 km of land between the towns of Durmersheim and Rheinstetten (Mörsch, Neuburgweier, Rheinstetten) and Durmersheim and Bietigheim.
history
The oldest archaeological evidence of a settlement in or near Durmersheim comes from the later Bronze Age , the so-called Urnfield Culture (approx. 1300–750 BC) and subsequently from the so-called Latenè period (approx. 500 BC up to now Birth of Christ). There are signs of a more significant settlement from Roman times. A grave field from the Alemannic-Franconian period around 600 AD discovered in 1959 shows that after the migration of peoples and the fall of the Roman Empire, people settled here permanently again. The place name with the ending -heim (Franconian local ending ) also refers to that time . The oldest written mention of Durmersheim comes from the 10th century. At that time in had Alsace located Weissenburg Abbey possession in Durmersheim. At an unspecified time - probably around 950 - this property (as in many other places) was visited and described by representatives of the monastery. The Weißenburg monastery had its own land ("Salland") at that time, the church and its tithing rights as well as 14 servants, of which 10 lay fallow (probably as a result of the Hungarian invasions, which devastated large parts of southwest Germany at the beginning of the 10th century). When and how the Weißenburg monastery came into possession of this property can no longer be traced due to a lack of written sources, presumably through donations from local large landowners, as is also documented elsewhere. In 985, Duke Otto I of the Salian dynasty appropriated the Weißenburg property in Durmersheim and 67 other places (" Salian church robbery "). This process is described in a historical note made by Abbot Edelin around 300 years later , although it does not quite correctly refer to the year 991. Specifically, this process took place in such a way that the powerful Salians forced the Weissenburg monastery to transfer these properties to them as fiefs . The son of Duke Otto, Count Konrad , is documented as a feudal bearer . In the succession of the Salians, these fiefs are likely to have come to the Staufer , even if there is no documentary evidence for this.
At the end of the 13th century, the rising family of the Margraves of Baden finally managed to incorporate Durmersheim into their territory. Rudolf I of Baden is considered a patron of churches and monasteries, so the aisle built in 1250 and the Katharinenchor with its famous frescoes of the pilgrimage church in Bickesheim go back to him and his wife Kunigunde von Eberstein. Until the end of the monarchy in Germany , i.e. until 1918, the Baden margraves or (since 1806) grand dukes ruled Durmersheim. The margraves of Baden also owned a small castle near Durmersheim, the Rohrburg , which fell into disrepair in the 18th century and was demolished around 1770.
Development of the place
The old town center of Durmersheim is on the edge of the Hochgestades. Since the 18th century, the population increased sharply and the place expanded in a northerly direction, towards Bickesheim . Würmersheim had been part of Durmersheim for a long time, but was politically independent until 1972. Durmersheim only grew significantly after the Second World War. On the one hand, many displaced people came looking for a new home . There were even more former Sudetes in the neighboring community of Malsch than in Durmersheim. As a result, Durmersheim grew enormously - a growth trend that continues to this day. It all began with the development of the area north of Triftstrasse, up to Hans-Thoma-Strasse. West of the B 36 was also built. In the next stage, the area north of Hans-Thoma-Strasse was built on, the Nordring was created. The community was now almost twice as big as it was a hundred years ago. During the administrative reform, Würmersheim was incorporated. At that time there were around 1200 residents.
New building areas were also developed there: TG I in 1993, TG II in 2002 and TG III in 2005. Würmersheim is now more than twice as big as it was 30 years ago. In Durmersheim, the last larger building area to be designated was the “Auf den Heilberg” area, a place where Durmersheim is sometimes the most urban area. There is also the center north, with numerous supermarkets. The old center is along the main street - between the Maria Bickesheim church and the southern church of St. Dionys. There are many shops there, from gas stations to stationery stores, and more and more are being added. In the foreseeable future, a mixed area in the direction of Bietigheim is to be developed and the industrial area south of Malscher Strasse is to be enlarged. Two new development areas are also planned, one in the direction of Bietigheim and one east of the new TG III. The implementation will take some time.

Today's coat of arms is based on a design by the Baden General State Archives from 1900 and has been in use since 1901. This coat of arms shows in a split shield on the left (heraldically seen) a crook (probably as a reminiscence of the possessions of various monasteries in Durmersheim) and on the right the Baden state colors yellow-red-yellow.
Community partnerships
Durmersheim is related to the cities of Chennevierès (since 1975) and Littlehampton (since 1988). Both maintain a partnership with each other, so that a triangular partnership Durmersheim-Littlehampton-Chennevierès results.
Economy and Infrastructure
economy
The largest employer in the region around Durmersheim is Daimler AG , with large plants in Rastatt , Gaggenau and Wörth .
Streets
The federal road 36 ( Mannheim - Lahr / Schwarzwald ) leads north to Rheinstetten and Karlsruhe , and south to Bietigheim , Ötigheim and Rastatt . Country roads lead to the other neighboring towns mentioned above .
In 2006, traffic on the new B 36 bypass from Bietigheim, Durmersheim and Ötigheim was opened. The federal government invested around 36 million euros in the construction of the 9.7-kilometer bypass. In addition, there were around 14 million euros from Deutsche Bahn AG. With the new B 36, a reduction of more than 70 percent of the previous traffic load of more than 20,000 vehicles per day was forecast for the three municipalities, as well as higher traffic safety and fewer noise and exhaust emissions, especially from heavy traffic.
Rail transport
Durmersheim has two stops on the Rheinbahn ( Karlsruhe - Rastatt ), Durmersheim Bahnhof and Durmersheim Nord , which are served by the S7 and S8 of the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn . You are in the east of the city. Between 6 a.m. and 1:30 a.m., trains run an average of twice an hour. RE, IC, ICE and freight trains also run on the same rail route, but they do not stop in Durmersheim. After the completion of the Rastatt tunnel , long-distance traffic is to be routed on its own route about 300 m east of the current one. This is a few meters below ground level, parallel to the B 36. This is intended to reduce noise emissions and enable urban development in the east.
The plan to extend the S2 from Rheinstetten to Durmersheim and thus to improve the local traffic between these two places is currently (as of 2016) no longer being pursued.
The 222 bus line is also important. It not only connects Durmersheim with Rastatt and Karlsruhe (duck catching), but also numerous neighboring towns ( Au am Rhein , Elchesheim-Illingen , stone walls ). At the weekend there are call taxes instead of buses.
Rail traffic in Durmersheim station is currently served by two mechanical interlockings, which are from the turn of the century around 1900, and are located in Ettlinger Straße (near the gravel works) and in Malscher Straße (near the railway underpass).
Bridge structures
There are two bridges of national importance in Durmersheim . The northern Federbach Bridge is located at the height of a historical ford that connected Au am Rhein and Würmersheim with Bickesheim. It was already used in the Renaissance by many traders and pilgrims who visited the monastery or the market square. During the German Empire, the original bridge was replaced by a steel bridge with an asphalt roadway. Today this street is called Pilgerstraße and illustrates the historical function of this bridge. There is also the building yard and a residential area for refugees.
The southern Federbach Bridge near "Little Manhattan" is almost as important . It is not quite as imposing as its northern counterpart, but its function is no less important. For many people from Elchesheim it is useful to get to the important B36 . The 222 bus (Rastatt – Karlsruhe) also crosses this bridge, which is why many school children already know it and see it as a sight.
underpass
Since 2014 there has been a 330 m long underpass under the Karlsruhe-Rastatt railway line. The project cost 7.7 million euros and was implemented after long negotiations. The opening was a historic moment not only for Durmersheim, but also for the painters who want to visit Durmersheim, so they no longer have to wait at the train gate, which was closed on average 12 hours a day. Up to 5,000 vehicles cross the underpass every day.
To the east of the railroad tracks there is an industrial area and the B36 bypass road, which thanks to the underpass can be reached in a much shorter time from the town center. The economy in the 'industrial area south of Malscher Straße' benefits from a higher influx of customers, and the municipality of Malsch (district of Karlsruhe) is also getting closer for many residents. This is important because there is a large industrial area in Malsch and thanks to the historically unique underpass, the commuting time for commuters is significantly less than that to Karlsruhe or Rastatt.
Currently there are still 3 level crossings (Obere Bahnhofstraße, Ettlinger Straße and Triftstraße), which are closed very often and for a long time due to the high density of trains on the Rheinbahn, in the local area of Durmersheim, but which have not been used since the construction of the underpass in Malscher Straße have to be driven on.
education
The Abitur can be taken at the Wilhelm-Hausenstein-Gymnasium . There is also a secondary school , with the Hardtschule a primary and secondary school and two pure primary schools. The Hildaschule as a special school for children and young people with learning disabilities was closed after the 2007/08 school year. There are also five Roman Catholic and one parish kindergarten .
Sports
There are about ten pure sports clubs in the municipality of Durmersheim, of which the TuS Durmersheim (gymnastics and sports club with the departments basketball, handball, ju-jutsu, athletics, cycling, table tennis, gymnastics and volleyball) is the largest. The first men's team in the volleyball department of TuS has been playing in the higher German leagues since the 1960s, currently in the 2nd Bundesliga and therefore Durmersheim can be described as a volleyball stronghold . The national top is the motoball team MSC Comet Durmersheim .
Culture and sights
Museums
There is a local museum in the old town center .
Buildings
The Bickesheimer Kirche is one of the most famous churches in the area. Its origins go back to at least the 13th century; However, it did not get its current appearance until 1908/09. In the Katharinenchor of this pilgrimage church, which is largely furnished in baroque style, there are frescoes from the 14th century, uncovered in 1908/1909, which are among the most important and valuable in the Upper Rhine region. The oldest stone-carved coat of arms of Baden (13th century) can also be seen on the pulpit column. From 1925 to 2010 there was a Redemptorist settlement in the monastery building next to the pilgrimage church . The church is located at the transition from Hochgestade to Tiefgestade and is about 30 m from the Federbach there .
An overhead line runs between Durmersheim and Würmersheim , which is of national importance. It has a voltage of approx. 220 kV.
outdoor pool
The Durmersheim outdoor pool is located in the north of Durmersheim and is also known as the terrace pool, as there are sunbathing areas along the beach . The swimming pools are in the basement, a kiosk is in the upper level, and there are stepped terraces in the transition area.
There is a deep pool with two diving platforms (1 m and 3 m), a shallower pool with a slide and a current channel, and a non-swimmer pool. There are also table tennis and volleyball courts .
Planet path
Since January 2001 there have been Agenda 21 working groups in Durmersheim that work on a voluntary basis at the local level for the sustainable development of the community. A few years ago, on the initiative of one of the Agenda groups, the plan to create a “ planetary path ” was taken up and implemented, also with the help of the “Sternfreunde Durmersheim”. The planetary path illustrates the size, structure and breadth of our solar system with the help of a scale reduction by a factor of one to a billion. The model of the sun as a starting point is located on the lawn in front of the town hall of Durmersheim. At the chosen scale, the sun has a diameter of 1.4 meters. The model of the earth has a diameter of 13 mm and is 150 m away from the solar model. Gabions , which are arranged at a true-to-scale distance from the sun, serve as the carrier system for the planet models . The models of the outer (dwarf) planets , Pluto and Eris , are then 6 to 10 km as the crow flies from the solar model and are in Mothern on the other side of the Rhine. With this Alsatian location, the planet trail was even "European" and linked to the Pamina -Rheinpark-Weg network and therefore it is also called the "PAMINA planetary trail". It is a short walk from the Sun to the Saturn model; to Uranus or Pluto there are hikes of approx. 7 km one way. To get to the Pluto and Eris models, you can cross the Rhine in Neuburgweier by ferry.
Amusement park
The adventure park is located in Weißenburger Straße. It can be reached by car and bus line 222, which stops twice an hour near the southern Federbach Bridge.
The adventure park, which opened in 2010, is known for its nature (plane trees and oaks) as well as for its skater areas. The park is roughly rectangular and 80 m long and 60 m wide.
Bickesheim pilgrim path
As a “discovery path” within the Pamina-Rheinpark, the “Bickesheim Pilgrim Path” was created in 2012 on the initiative of the local Agenda 21 group. This 18 km long circular route begins and ends at the approximately 1000 year old pilgrimage church Maria Bickesheim . The path, which runs in the Rhine plain and is marked with the oval “Pamina-Rheinpark sign”, has hardly any inclines and is therefore ideally suited for hikers and cyclists. It leads from Durmersheim to Rheinstetten- Mörsch , Neuburgweier , Au am Rhein and via Würmersheim back to the starting point and you can discover the treasures of church art in churches and chapels in the region, from Gothic to Baroque to modern times. So you can z. B. in Maria Bickesheim you can see frescoes from the 14th century and in Neuburgweier you can see objects by the contemporary artist Emil Wachter in the church of St. Ursula and in the cemetery . The same artist also painted the parish church of St. Andreas in Au am Rhein, where the large glass rosette created by Wachter is also noteworthy. The "Bickesheim Pilgrim Path" also leads past numerous old field crosses and wayside crosses and parts of the path presumably run parallel to a medieval pilgrim path that came from the east, via Bickesheim and the Rhine near Au, to the historically important Weissenburg Monastery in Alsace .
