Dutzendteich (pond landscape)

The large and the small Dutzendteich are the two largest "ponds" in a pond landscape in the southeast of Nuremberg . The two lakes are part of the Volkspark Dutzendteich recreational area . The Fischbach flows through them and the long water also feeds them.

Dutzendteich is also the name of statistical district 30 in the southeastern outer city .

history

The Dutzendteiche on the Nazi party rally grounds in Nuremberg around 1940

In 1337, Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian granted the Reichsforstmeister Konrad Waldstromer permission to build the pond on Reichsboden. The Dutzendteich was created by damming several streams. The privilege of the Waldstromers was renewed 10 years later by Emperor Charles IV . In 1495 the Inner Council acquired the water area and the mill that had been built for the imperial city of Nuremberg . From that year the Fischbach was also directed into the Dutzendteich and two hammer mills were built at the outflow . Much later - in 1825 - the Spaeth brothers acquired the plant and expanded it into Bavaria's first machine factory. In the mid-1950s, the site was abandoned and residential buildings were subsequently built.

The Dutzendteich was a popular destination as early as the 17th century. In 1638 the first license was granted, and in 1713 the “Wirtshaus am Dutzendteich” was built on the north-west bank. In 1813, guests were able to ride gondolas and barges, go sledging in winter or skate on skates. In 1826, the “Preciosa” gondola provided space for twelve passengers and four rowers. At the end of the 19th century, electric boats from Schuckert and Späth were used. A beach promenade, cafes and a bathing establishment were built. More inns opened. The “Wirtshaus am Dutzendteich” built by the city was replaced in 1899 by the popular “Park-Café-Wanner”.

In 1906 the Bavarian State Exhibition took place in neighboring Luitpoldhain , which also included the Dutzendteich area. A special attraction was the lighthouse built on the south bank, which was designed as a lookout tower and imitated the headlight signals of a real lighthouse. The visitors were brought to the viewing platform with an electric elevator inside the tower. In 1912 the originally four number ponds became part of the zoo . Early on, discovered Nazis the terrain and built there you Reichsparteitagsgelände . The lighthouse popular with Nuremberg residents was blown up on October 29, 1936. He stood in the way of the construction of the congress hall. Part of the Dutzendteich was also filled in for this structure.

Surname

The name Dutzendteich does not come from the twelve ponds that were formerly there (there were only eight). Some sources say that the term Dutzendteich is derived from the old German name Doutze for reed . Other sources, such as the “ Pfinzing Atlas ” from 1594, name the name Tutschetey, which means muddy terrain . Today, next to the large Dutzendteich (often spelled “Dutzenteich” in the past), there is the small Dutzendteich, the shallow pond and other, smaller ponds, which are known as “numbered ponds”. Of the original four number ponds, only two have survived.

nature

The Dutzendteich and the adjacent shallow ponds used to be very important for fauna and flora. In the past, great botanical treasures grew here with the swamp soft orchid (Hammarbya paludosa), the round-leaved sundew (Drosera rotundifolia) and the small water lily (Nymphaea candida). The Dutzendteich used to be of great importance to the bird world.

Todays use

In addition to recreational sports with sailing and rowing boats, the large Dutzendteich is also used for regattas . The Nuremberg Yacht Club on the north bank and the Nuremberg Rowing Club hold ranking regattas on the water . The pond is also used for training the Nuremberg Canoe Club in the competitive disciplines of canoe racing and canoe polo .

In the summer months there is a boat rental with 60 pedal boats and rowing boats; in winter there is the possibility of ice skating .

It is also used as a carp pond and is completely drained in autumn.

The main use is local recreation. The former traditional restaurant “Wanner” still exists today and has been completely renovated by the new owner (“Gutmann am Dutzendteich” formerly Wanner). Only the concert shell is reminiscent of the "Wanner". The legendary "water lily" had to give way to the expansion of the Ringstrasse in the 1990s. The two wooden choirs were saved and, on the initiative of the friends of the old town, were attached to the former “Red Horse” (Weinmarkt 12a) and Hauptmarkt 9 (Korn und Berg).

A path equipped with information boards by the “Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds” leads through the area around the Dutzendteich.

Surroundings

The Dutzendteich became part of the former Nazi party rally grounds ; this includes the congress hall, in which the documentation center of the Nazi party rally grounds is located, the exhibition grounds , the Nuremberg stadium and the Nuremberg fairground . Right next to the Dutzendteich at Zeppelinfeld lies DTM - street circuit Norisring (former "200 Miles of Nuremberg."). The main grandstand of the zeppelin field also forms the main grandstand here. Further south is the Silbersee , which arose from the water-filled excavation of the German stadium started by the National Socialists .
