The Fürstenberg district in the south of Konstanz
|
Fürstenberg is one of 15 districts of Konstanz in Baden-Württemberg . With around 12,000 inhabitants, Fürstenberg is the third largest district of Constance in terms of population.
geography
The place is located north of the core city of Constance between the two Constance districts of Wollmatingen and Petershausen-West on Landesstrasse 220. The area includes the local recreation area Fürstenberg , which gives it its name .
history
The district has its origins in 1830, when the brewer Carl Barxell bought the Fürstenberg from the community of Wollmatingen in order to set up a beer cellar on the northern slope of the Fürstenberg. Business on the Fürstenberg ended in the middle of the 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Herosé factory and a settlement were built in the west of the Fürstenberg.
In 1932 the city of Konstanz bought the north-eastern part of the Fürstenberg from Barxell, and later in the same year the rest of the area.
