Location of Fischbach-Camphausen in Saarland |
Fischbach-Camphausen is located near Saarbrücken and belongs to the municipality of Quiigart . Fischbach consists of the two districts Fischbach and Camphausen.
geography
Fischbach-Camphausen is located in the southern Saarland in the Saarbrücken regional association . The Fischbach coming from Merchweiler flows through the place. Fischbach-Camphausen has its deepest point at ~ 230 m and its highest at ~ 280 m . The place is completely surrounded by mixed forest and lies on the edge of the Saarkohlewald , the largest contiguous forest area in Saarland. The Fischbachtal is between the ridge of the Grühling ( 300 m ), the Göttelborner Höhne ( 444.4 m ), the Wackenhübel ( 428.6 m ), the Moosberg ( 296 m ), the Gumpert ( 331 m ), the Reléeberg ( 340 , 1 m ), the Neuhauser Höhe ( 351 m ) and the Kampfhügeler Höhe ( 354.7 m ).
history
Fischbach was originally founded as a workers' village with an iron smelter . The Camphausen mine, built in the 19th century, plays an important role in the history of Fischbach and of the Camphausen district, which was later founded as a civil servants' settlement. The first three houses in the Camphausen settlement were built between 1890 and 1891. It was about mountain director's houses, which - even by today's standards - were generously dimensioned. The actual Camphausen settlement was built from 1890 to 1910. The location of the former civil servants' settlement, which is only a few steps away from the mine, is typical of the Saarland coal area. Great importance was attached to ensuring that key decision-makers were available promptly.
Neolithic
Thousands of years ago the area around Fischbach was at least roamed by Stone Age people. This is evidenced by finds of a tool in the forest area between Quiigart and Fischbach. The tool was made of flint and has a sharp tip. It is based on the period around 5000 BC. Dated. In addition, a stone ax from this period was found in a forest district, today Heiligengraben. The current name of the place where the ax was found is not called "Heiligengraben" but rather "Im Heiliggraben".
Iron age
There are three Celtic burial mounds on the Wackenhübel between Fischbach and Holz. The graves are said to date from the Hallstatt Iron Age (700–500 BC). A hill ("tumulus") has a diameter of 7.75 meters and was about 1.80 meters high. In this grave there were traces of ash and coal, as well as a copper ring with a diameter of 12 cm. It is believed that another find can be attributed to the Celtic era: When shaft 1 of the Camphausen pit was sunk in 1871, a huge oak stick had to be removed first. Broken clay pots, bones and ashes were found underneath. It is believed that they were the remains of a Celtic sacrificial site.
Roman times
Between the Grühlingsstraße in Sulzbach (Saar) and the Fischbacher district Südost 1, forest workers came across a Roman burial place in 1864. Over a hundred years ago, the Wahlschieder teacher AJ Müller discovered Roman ruins in the Weinhof forest district (near the Quiigart clinic). He reported the following about it:
“On the south-eastern slope between the villages of Fischbach and Quiigart, above the stream and the meadows, near the source. The surroundings are completely flat and have the appearance of being used as arable or garden land. The exposed walls of the larger building are 40 paces long and 20 paces wide. The same was divided into three rooms, of which the middle one, which is again divided into two rooms by a transverse wall, was the largest. "
Müller found fragments of hollow and ledge bricks and fragments of earthen vessels there. At a distance of twenty paces he discovered a second ruin of smaller size, which he considered to be a stable.
The Fischbach iron smelter
In 1728 the Princess of Nassau-Usingen, Charlotte Amalie, had the "Fürst-Nassau-Saarbrück-Usingische Hütte on the Fischbach" built. The location was particularly favorable at this point, as the "Most Gracious Lordship" owned some meadows in the middle of the forest. In addition, there was enough water in Fischbach to drive the bellows of the blast furnace and for the stamping mill in which the ore was crushed. At the same time, apartments for workers were built, which resulted in the village of Fischbach. The Fischbacher Eisenschmelze did not cease operations until 1866.
Incorporation
On January 1, 1974, the previously independent municipality of Fischbach was incorporated into the municipality of Quiigart.

Camphausen pit
In 1866, when the Fischbacher iron melt gave up your operation in the same year, decided the mine management in Fischbach civil engineering bays to create. In 1871 the first two civil engineering shafts of the later pit Camphausen were sunk . The forest administration made the entire pit area available on a lease basis. A third shaft was built in 1874. In the same year the mine was named after a visit by the Prussian Finance Minister Otto Camphausen . From 1877 onwards, hard coal was regularly extracted from the shafts until a firedamp and coal dust explosion occurred on March 17, 1885 when further shafts were being sunk , which killed 180 miners and injured 30 others. A memorial in the cemetery commemorates the victims of the disaster. Westschacht II was built in 1886 and was named Franziska I in 1920. After a fire in the hoisting machine building, operations were temporarily completely stopped in 1895. The buddies were distributed to the surrounding shafts for the time being. In 1919, according to the Versailles Treaty, the mine passed into mine ownership without compensation. The first reinforced concrete headframe in the world, shaft IV, sunk in 1908, is particularly close to the pit. This is forty meters high and there were two hoisting machines on the top floor. Another accident occurred on February 16, 1986, in which 7 miners died. The last production was carried out in November 1990 and the pit then closed.
The Fischbachbad
On the initiative of the Rußhütte gymnastics club , the Fischbachbad was built in 1926 between Fischbach-Camphausen and Saarbrücken, near the Fischbachtalweiher. In 1939 the bath received a "bath mushroom". In the Second World War , the Fischbachbad was largely destroyed and was no longer visited. It was rebuilt and reopened in 1947. With the renovation previously passed through was Bad flowing Fischbach east past it, and added a carousel and a kiddie pool. In 1950 the bath was very popular with the surrounding population, but was neglected by the construction of the Schwarzenberg bath in 1959 and no longer counted any visitors. In 1965 the Fischbachbad had to close. The layout of the Fischbachbad and the bathing mushroom can still be seen today.
Agriculture and Livestock
There were never full-time farmers in Fischbach, but agriculture and livestock farming played an important role for over 200 years. The wages were so low that no one could do without an agricultural sideline . The government was reluctant to approve new lease land. The forest administration also only released a few pieces of forest for sale or lease. However, the demand was always greater than the supply. Cows were almost exclusively used as draft animals in Fischbach, only the carters kept horses. When potato crab appeared in a field in 1926 , Fischbach was declared a restricted area. From 1927 onwards, only cancer-resistant seed potatoes were allowed to be grown. In the years after World War II, agriculture and horticulture regained great importance by helping to overcome the food shortage. After this improved, however, the importance of agriculture declined again. In 1952 there were only 80.92 hectares of arable land in the municipalities of Quiigart, Fischbach and Göttelborn with a total cadastral area of 2,146.34 hectares. Of these, the
- Quiersche community: 51.14 ha
- Fischbach municipality: 4.80 ha
- Göttelborn community: 24.98 ha
In the administrative district there was around 60 m² of arable land per head of the population, but only 12.8 m² in the Fischbach community.

Dump Lydia
The former dump north of the Fischbachbahn was actively used until the 1950s. When this dump was no longer capable of receiving, two new cone dumps were created south of the mine. The new dump probably owes its name to the Lydia shaft that was buried under it. Both cone heaps were later combined to form a table mountain and used from 1950 until the mine was closed in 1990.
Today there is still the shape of a table mountain with an additional cone embankment. The Lydia dump extends over a total area of 66 hectares. The plateau of the tabular peak has a size of 12 hectares and a relative height of 60-110 meters. The stockpile base is 270 m above sea level. NHN , the plateau measures 330 m above sea level. The top of the cone heap, which is again piled up, forms the highest point and reaches a total height of 380 m above sea level. The main components of the heaps are shale, clay stones and, in small quantities, conglomerates. Haldenfuß and Kegelhalde were afforested; the plateau remains free from vegetation. The flanks are partially green.
The dump was made accessible to the general public through recultivation measures. The Haldenrundwanderweg leads over the heap and presents three circular, sealed shallow depressions filled with rainwater on the upper plateau. Because of the reflection of the sky in the water of the depressions, these were called "sky mirrors".
