geography

Eckersbach is located on a hill in the east of the city. In the west, the district is bounded by the Zwickauer Mulde . Eckersbach has a different development. In the north there is the new development area Eckersbacher Höhe , whose street names have to do with space travel and which is therefore also known as the “cosmonaut district”. The “Star Street” leading to the “Salut” supply center and then turning south is the most important thoroughfare towards the city center. To the south of the “Amseltal” and to the east of the Sternenstrasse, Eckersbach-Siedlung forms the eastern part of Eckersbach. This area consists mainly of single-family or semi-detached houses. The part of the settlement east of the Star Road bears the street names of birds of prey , while the streets of the settlement south of the Amsel valley have names of songbirds . The western part of Eckersbach forms the Trillerberg , on which u. a. larger allotment gardens are located. In the south of Eckersbach, commercial facilities dominate in the Äußere Dresdner Strasse area ( Bundesstrasse 173 ).

In the northwest, Eckersbach borders on Pölbitz , in the west on the city center of Zwickau. Auerbach borders Eckersbach to the north and east. Pöhlau is located in the southeast of Eckersbach.

history

Founded until 1945

Eckersbach's existence as a small village can be traced back to the 15th century at the latest. On July 8, 1455, Knight Kunz von Kaufungen kidnapped the electoral princes Albrecht and Ernst from Altenburg Castle . The Grünhainer Köhler Schmidt captured Kunz while he was fleeing. He was brought to Freiberg via Zwickau , where he was sentenced and beheaded. The executioner in Zwickau divided four of his assistants into four. According to legend, the Köhler Schmidt is said to have received the honorary name “Triller” and a free good , the “Trillergut”, in Eckersbach.

In 1547 Eckersbach suffered from looting caused by Duke Moritz and his riders. In 1600 Eckersbach built a direct water pipe to Osterstein Castle . Eckersbach belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Zwickau until 1856 . In 1856 Eckersbach came to the Zwickau court office and in 1875 to the Zwickau administration .

In the 1850s, the “Trillerberg Brewery”, a club brewery, came into being in Talstrasse, which belongs to Eckersbach. Already in 1511 about 60 mountain cellars for lager beer were created by Zwickau citizens with brewing rights at the foot of the steep slopes of the Trillerberg. From this brewery, today's "Mauritius Privatbrauerei Zwickau" developed. In 1866 four people died of a cholera epidemic in Eckersbach. In 1895 Eckersbach received a branch post office. In 1897 there were 1,704 people in Eckersbach. On January 1, 1905, Eckersbach lost its independence and was incorporated into Zwickau.

In the years 1923/1924 the "Bergmannssiedlung" with 18 houses and 70 apartments was built in Eckersbach. In 1935, the "mining core workers' settlement" in Eckersbach was largely built. The Eckersbacher Siedlung is also known as the "Vogelsiedlung" because its streets all have bird names. It consists of two parts: the "predatory" and the "songbird settlement".

1945 to 1990

Due to the poor supply situation with heating material, a warming room was opened on December 15, 1949 in Eckersbach and in three other parts of the city. On August 18, 1953, the two-year school for mining in Eckersbach on the Scheffelberg received its newly built domicile. Today's "Scheffelberg School" was built in 1953 as a replacement building for the old town center of Eckersbach. The first students were taught there in 1956.

In 1959, construction work began on the "E 1" development area in Eckersbach. 1,080 apartments with stove heating were built. On October 21, 1963, the local public transport took the Poetenweg - Eckersbacher Höhe bus line into operation. On September 1, 1968, classes began at Wostokweg 72 in the first new building school in Eckersbach. In 1971 the facility was named " Konstantin Ziolkowski ". In October of the same year, the second new school was inaugurated in Wostokweg 74. In 1969 it was named " Yuri-Gagarin ". On September 1, 1969, the new school " Wladimir Komarow " opened in Lunikweg 9 . In 1970 the sports forum was completed. In 1978 it was named " Soyuz 31 ". On January 5, 1972, the outpatient clinic in Eckersbach began its work. The construction of the new development areas E 1 to E 4 was largely completed on June 14, 1973. It comprised 4,175 apartments. At the same time, the “Kosmos” supply center with a restaurant was inaugurated. On January 7, 1974, the city of Zwickau handed over the first residential building especially for older citizens. In the new development area E 4, which was now completed in 1978, 4,280 apartments, five schools, five kindergartens, two crèches, a combined daycare center, a department store, a supply center, a pharmacy and an outpatient department had been built since construction began 15 years ago.

The Eckersbach area belonged ecclesiastically to the Moritzkirche in Leipziger Strasse outside the district until 1967. Since the catchment area became too large with the establishment of the new building area in Eckersbach, the "Christophorus Church Community" was founded in 1967. She had her first domicile on Scheffelstrasse.

On April 13, 1982, Siegfried Lorenz , the chairman of the council of the Karl-Marx-Stadt district , laid the foundation stone for the new building area "E 5". This Eckersbach residential area was designed for around 8,000 apartments. It is divided into three construction phases (E 5/1, E 5/2, E 5/3). On September 1 of the same year, classes began in the first new building school E 5 (Salutstrasse 4); on September 10th the facility was named " Sigmund Jähn ". In the same month, the “Young Technicians and Natural Scientists Station” in Eckersbach - off the Wostokweg - finally started its work. On March 26, 1984 the first bus drove on the new line from Kreisigstrasse to Albert-Funk- Strasse in the residential area E 5. On September 1, 1984 the teachers and students of the newly built Dr.-Theodor-Neubauer-Schule took it in E 5/2 (Albert-Funk-Straße 46). In May 1985, the Albert Funk School in the street of the same name was handed over. Their location was right next to the Dr.-Theodor-Neubauer-Schule. Both schools have a common playground. Behind the schools into town there were two gyms and larger sports fields. On June 28, 1985, the widened Scheffelstrasse and the bridge to the residential area E 1 were released, which enabled traffic to E 1 without intersections. The inauguration of the pedestrian bridge in E 5 over the Sternenstrasse took place on October 7, 1985. The one million Mark expensive object was built by companies from Zwickau. In 1986, a thermal power station was put into operation on the Trillerberg. It supplied the brewery, the horticultural production cooperative, the dairy, the carpenter production cooperative "Empor", the purchasing and delivery cooperative of the butcher's trade " Glück auf " and the graphic works with warmth.

On October 2, 1986 the foundation stone was laid for the new tram line to Eckersbach. The entire route had to be routed over a length of around 4.5 kilometers. A particular challenge for the architects was the bridge construction, which leads the tram route over the Zwickauer Mulde . Due to the narrow route, it was not possible to build a conventional bridge. Therefore a double curved steel bridge with a span of 110 meters was constructed. The building was named "New Muldenbrücke", but is colloquially called "The crooked miracle". The final stop of the route is in E 5/2. On September 19, 1992, the first tram to be occupied by passengers traveled the new route ( maiden voyage ).

In February 1988, the city of Zwickau in Eckersbach - in the E 5 development area - handed over the 30,000th new apartment built in Zwickau after the Second World War . The residential area E 5 was also completed in 1988. In April 1988, the foundation stone for a “social center” was laid in the “Vogelsiedlung” residential area in Eckersbach, which consisted of a restaurant and club rooms.

With around 32,000 inhabitants, Eckersbach reached its historically highest population level in 1988/1989. The apartments in E 5 in particular were very popular, as for example hot and cold running water, central heating, a toilet in the apartment (indoor toilet) and a bathtub were standard equipment, which was not the case in many old Zwickau apartments.

1990 to the present

With the expansion or relocation of the B 93, the "Mauritius Bridge", which is named after the brewery located next door, was also released in 1994.

Since 1990 the prefabricated building area in Eckersbach has been affected by an above-average decline in the number of inhabitants. In particular, the construction sections E 5/2 and E 5/3 lost a lot of their attractiveness due to the extremely high density of buildings. By 2005, more than 60 percent of the population had moved away. Because of this, extensive demolition work began in these construction phases in 2001. The residential areas E 1 to E 4 and E 5/1 to E 5/3 are part of the " Urban Redevelopment East " project. As a result, the two owners of the apartments (GGZ and ZWG) in this area receive funding, with which renovation, conversion and demolition work is consistently carried out. In this way, the demographic development should be taken into account and the living environment for the remaining residents should be improved. Most of the schools in the district were also closed.

Eckersbach is one of the model areas in the so-called federal-state program "City districts with special development needs - the social city". Five Eckersbach projects were honored there in 2004 for “diverse civic engagement”.

The new building of the community center of the Evangelical Lutheran Christophorus Church, which was founded in 1967, is an architectural attraction. It was designed by the Dresden architects KMSP and in 1999 was awarded first prize by the Zwickau Architects' Forum.

After dimensional demolition of houses in the area E 5/3 south of Makarenkostraße and the western part of E 5/2 was from 2015 to August 2016 for FSV Zwickau the stadium Zwickau erected.
