history
At the beginning of the 18th century, the Alb valley was a secluded area at the site of today's Fischweier. The abbess of the Frauenalb monastery wanted to use the abundance of forests and in 1705 approached the administration of the Margrave of Baden-Baden with the request to found a glassworks , which was built within a year opposite the confluence of the Moosalb into the Alb. In 1707, the facility consisted of the plant directly to the right of the Alb and a living area a little higher on the slope. As early as 1716, the usable forest near the glassworks was "cleared" and around 1717 the business was relocated to the site of today's Gertrudenhof . What happened to the old buildings is not known.
In the topographical map from 1847 no place name is recorded, but a structure can be seen at the location of today's S-Bahn stop, which suggests a small cleared area with a hut. No further buildings or a pond can be found.
In 1898 the Ettlingen – Herrenalb railway line was opened. Shortly afterwards, a spa hotel was built near the Spielberg-Schöllbronn train station and, in the mid-1930s, a small outdoor swimming pool north of the Moosalb, which was in operation until around 1960. The place name is probably derived from the first hotel name Luftkurhotel “Fischweiher” . The date 1898 is also given as the first written mention of the name Fischweiher . The hotel now serves as accommodation for asylum seekers.
