history

historical development

Feudenheim was first mentioned in the Lorsch Codex in 766 as Vitenheim (home of Vito). In the 9th century the church and two courtyards belonged to the Weißenburg monastery . Around 940 the sphere of influence had shifted to the Hochstift Worms . Before 1200, Feudenheim came to the Count Palatine Konrad von Staufen . The Neckar ferry can be identified for the first time in 1476. In 1615 the Neckar bend was shortened by a new river bed through the Au. During the Thirty Years War , Feudenheim was destroyed twice in 1621 and 1639. In 1632 the Gasthaus zum Ochsen was built. Today it is the oldest inn in Mannheim. During the Palatinate War of Succession , more than 70 buildings in Feudenheim were destroyed in 1689. A flood of the century devastated the lower lying areas of Feudenheim in 1784. The mouth of the Neckar was frozen over so that the water could not drain away. By 1795 the course of the river was corrected and brought to its current bed.

With the dissolution of the Electoral Palatinate , Feudenheim came to the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1803 . The synagogue was opened in 1813 and the Jewish community grew to 120 members by 1852. In 1863 Feudenheim was assigned to the Mannheim District Office. In the following years the orientation towards the nearby city grew. The industry-free Feudenheim was a popular place to live for wealthy Mannheimers as well as many workers. In 1874 the road to Mannheim was built, in 1883/84 the first steam tram was built by Martin Lutz & Cie. built and opened. In 1889 the Protestant Johanneskirche was consecrated. In 1905, Feudenheim sold a 40 hectare site south of the Neckar to the Süddeutsche Disconto-Gesellschaft to develop a residential area, from which Neuostheim developed. The water tower was completed a year later. In 1910, Feudenheim was incorporated into Mannheim, which electrified the tram in 1914. In the 1920s, the Neckar was canalized and the Feudenheim lock was built. During the November pogroms in 1938 , the Feudenheim synagogue was destroyed on November 10th. After the outbreak of the Second World War , the 14 remaining Jewish people from Feudenheim were deported to Camp de Gurs as part of the Wagner-Bürckel campaign on October 22, 1940 . The bunker was built in 1941 and with a capacity for 7,000 people it was one of the largest in the German Reich. Feudenheim survived the war relatively unscathed, so that a large part of the residential buildings was seized by the US Army.

In 1966 Feudenheim celebrated its 1200th anniversary. In 1972 the Carlo-Schmid-Brücke was built over the Neckar, and in 1979 the culture hall was opened. In 1986 the Mulberry Island and the Wörthel , which were created by the construction of the side canal and since then have provided a natural habitat for a variety of plants and animals, were elevated to a nature reserve . Also worth mentioning is the public park with the Bell natural monument , which was created in recent years .

The lost village of Dornheim

In what is now the Feudenheim district - around the Aubuckel - was the abandoned village of Dornheim, which was formerly independent of Feudenheim and was mentioned several times in the Lorsch Codex (also from 766) in the 8th and 9th centuries . It was last mentioned in a document in 1287, when the Count Palatine of the Rhine, Ludwig the Strict , gave Rheinhausen Castle and the associated towns of Dornheim and Mannheim as a morning gift to his son's fiancée from his second marriage, Princess Elisabetha of Lorraine . It is not known exactly when and why Dornheim was given up. It can be assumed that it was destroyed by the great Neckar flood in 1278, when the river shifted its bed north of Mannheim. Its district was shared by the villages of Käfertal and Mannheim and had been in dispute over this for centuries.
