history
Prehistoric origins of Göttelborn
Göttelborn's origins are still in the dark of history. However, several archaeological finds on and around today's Göttelborn site , which are unfortunately lost today, suggest that the Göttelborner Höhe was already inhabited in prehistoric times . In a Stone Age shrine in Dudweiler, for example, a large Göttelborn quartzite rubble was found as a shell stone .
Göttelborn in the Celtic and Roman times
There is evidence that two Roman roads ran through Göttelborn during the Roman era : The first led from Malstatt via Von der Heydt , Holz , Wahlschied and Göttelborn to Merchweiler , where the remains of a Roman villa have also been discovered in the Wemmetsweiler district . Another Roman road ran from Völklingen-Luisenthal via Püttlingen-Ritterstraße , Riegelsberg , Holz and Wahlschied over the Göttelborner Höhe to Illingen .
In 1850, the Saarbrücken historian Friedrich Schröder put forward the thesis that a Roman road , coming from Landsweiler / Lebach , led to the Göttelborner Höhe. As proof of this thesis, he cited the finds of Roman funerary urns in the area of Mangelhausen and Celtic barrows near Steinertshaus and on the Göttelborner Höhe. Schröder also reports on another historian named Philipp Schmidt, who reports on copper rings that were found in a barrow in Steinertshaus. Similar rings were found on the Göttelborner Höhe. When the so-called Boussard-Haus (corner of Hauptstrasse / Uchtelfanger Strasse , today Gasthaus Alt Göttelborn ) burned down around 1860, a human skeleton , a silver button with a horse's head and a bronze clasp were found during the reconstruction of the house in the ground below the building .
It has now been proven that a Roman road led from Losheim via Niederlosheim , Wahlen , Hüttersdorf , Primsweiler , Lebach and Landsweiler to Saarbrücken , although the exact route from Landsweiler is unclear. If you extend this line via Wiesbach , where a Roman villa stood, and via Habach , through which a Roman road ran from west to east (from Schwalbach via the Vicus Wareswald near Tholey to Osenbach / Oberthal ), you end up in Göttelborn. Since a road led from Göttelborn to Saarbrücken, it is likely that three Roman roads crossed in Göttelborn.
1700 to 1800
The history of the town of Göttelborn is closely linked to the history of mining in the area of today's town. The Quierschieder Jahrgeding from 1446 for the first time suggests coal graves in the Kohlbachtal. In 1717 there was a first private mine in Quiigart. Isolated reports about coal mining in the Göttelborn area date from after 1770.
The name Gödelborn appears for the first time on an old border map from 1735, another document to clarify the Göttelborn age is a deed of land donation from Prince Wilhelm Heinrich von Nassau-Saarbrücken to the ranger Mathias Bauer. He made the land available to him free of charge, so that Mathias Bauer could build a house there, the so-called Matzbauershaus .
23 years later, in 1758, the first building on today's Göttelborn site, the Quierschieder Jägerhaus , was first mentioned in a document. Two years later, in 1760, two so-called Thor houses , the Thomashütte and the Matzbauershaus, are built. It would take 35 years until the Göttelbrunner Hütte was built as another Thorhaus in 1795. Mathias Bauer's daughter, who was widowed at an early age, married Francois Cilian Boussard from Normandy around 1800 (documented incorrectly Pouchard (1806)), who also took on the hunting and forestry duties of his predecessor. They lived in the Matzenbauershaus until their death. The first family settlement was completed. Their descendants still live in the village today.
Göttelborn and some surrounding villages belonged to the Illingen rule until the end of the 18th century , which was owned by the imperial knighthood of a sideline Barons von Kerpen and was originally a fiefdom of the Counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken . After the region was captured by French revolutionary troops (1794), Göttelborn belonged to the French Département de la Sarre from 1798 to 1814 and was assigned to the canton of Ottweiler .
1800 to 1900
After Napoleon's defeat , the region was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna (1815) . Under the Prussian administration the town in 1816 belonged to the circle Ottweiler in Trier and was supported by the mayor Uchtelfangen managed.
In 1830 the oldest house still in existence in Göttelborn was built (corner of Uchtelfanger Straße / Im Birkenstück ). In 1848 the topographical-statistical-historical lexicon of Germany assigned Göttelborn to the Saarbrücken district in the Trier administrative district. Only one forest hut with two inhabitants in the Heusweiler parish is counted. In 1851, 37 houses were recorded when the cadastre was created . In 1857 there were 50 families in Göttelborn; These include 28 day laborers, 11 miners, 4 farm workers, 3 coal burners, 2 glassmakers, 1 cooper and 1 forester. In 1882 all houses are numbered from 169–237. Göttelborn's district membership is shown in the description of the government district of Trier. While Göttelborn belonged to the Ottweiler district in 1814 and 1815, it was now assigned to the Saarbrücken district. The responsible mayor remained that of Heusweiler. In 1884 the first coal mines take place in the area of today's Göttelborn - the hour of birth of an industry that has influenced all areas of life in and around Göttelborn for decades. In 1884 the Göttelborn mine was first cut , Emperor Friedrich III. gives Göttelborn- Merchweiler a school.
On August 1, 1886, the royal Prussian government approved the construction of a new flame coal mine in Göttelborn by a high ministerial decree . In the same year, Steiger Gerben was commissioned by the Itzenplitz mine to purchase land on the northern slope of the Göttelborn ridge . However, difficulties arose, so that after negotiations with the forest administration and a general inspection of the site on April 25, 1887, today's site on the southern slope of the Göttelborner Höhe was acquired. On May 9, 1887, two inclined stretches in the Eilert seam (named after the secret mountain ridge Karl-Friedrich Eilert) were hewn. The sinking of shafts I and II began as early as July 1887 . In the same year, Mine Inspection X (which also included the Quiigart and Dilsburg mines ) was founded. In 1891 the coffee kitchen of the Göttelborn mine is set up, which has been modified to this day. The water supply of the place is realized in 1892 by the pit. A year later, in 1893, a second school was built in the Göttelborn- Merchweiler district . In the same year, the Göttelborn mine is declared a firedamp mine after a slight firedamp explosion , in which 3 miners were injured. Between 1888 and 1912, the Royal Prussian Mine Administration built company apartments . On April 26, 1897 occurred in the seam Beus a Schlagwetterexplosion die in which four miners.
1900 to 2000
In 1920 the citizens' association fights for an independent Göttelborn, which previously consisted of Göttelborn-Gennweiler, Göttelborn- Wahlschied , Göttelborn- Quiigart and Göttelborn- Merchweiler . The Saarland mines are placed under French administration. On January 5, 1924, the Göttelborn population voted with 62.78% for Göttelborn's independence (with 86.13% voter turnout). Five years later Göttelborn became independent and affiliated to the Quiigart community and elects the first local council in February. Between 1925 and 1935 the young congregation continued to grow; it was given its own cemetery, school and church. Three years later, in 1928, Göttelborn became an independent parish. In 1935 the own parish church, St. Josef, is inaugurated in Göttelborn. The Saarland pits are placed under German administration again. After the Saar vote in 1935, when the Saarland was annexed to the German Reich, there was no longer an elected municipal council. Towards the end of the war, Göttelborn was bombed and many people died. After the end of the Second World War , the Saarland mines were initially administered by the American control commission CONAD , then by France. On September 15, 1946, the first local elections took place in Göttelborn, Josef Monz became mayor. At that time, no parties were allowed. The lack of living space was countered by building Nissen huts . One copy between the primary school and the cemetery is still preserved
Between 1951 and 1957, apprentices build the Göttelborn mine stadium . After the second Saar vote on October 23, 1954, parties are admitted. The seventh town council is elected and Peter Schmidt becomes mayor. Saarberg becomes the new operator of the Göttelborn mine. In 1958 the house (Hauptstrasse 164) that the mine had exchanged was vacated and was subsequently converted into a community hall by 1961. On October 22nd, 1959, the Göttelborn transmission mast of the Saarland broadcasting company was inaugurated on the Göttelborner Höhe. Today the mast has a height of 211 meters. It is broadcast on VHF SR1, SR2 and SR3, as well as on TV channel 2, the 1st program of the ARD . In 1965 the fire station in Josefstrasse was consecrated. In addition, on June 19, 1965, Willy Brandt , then still the ruling mayor of Berlin and candidate for chancellor of the SPD , paid a visit to Göttelborn and gave a speech in the St. Barbara Festival Hall. Ludwig Erhard , at that time Federal Minister of Economics in the government of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer , arrived on June 27, 1965 together with the then Saarland Minister-President Dr. Franz-Josef Röder also to an election date in the St.-Barbara-Halle. One year later, in 1966, the Protestant Church of Peace was built in Hauptstrasse.
In 1967 Göttelborn received a new school and the new Protestant Church of Peace was inaugurated. In 1969 the Göttelborn volunteer fire brigade was founded from the mine fire brigade . 1973 the school gymnasium is converted into a multi-purpose hall. In the course of the regional reform, the municipality is dissolved on January 1, 1974. Göttelborn becomes part of Quiigart and elects a local council in which Manfred Zeiner is the mayor. On November 26, 1982, the then Federal President Prof. Dr. Karl Carstens, together with his wife Veronica and the then Minister-President of the Saarland, Werner Zeyer, opened the Göttelborn mine and undertook a mine entrance to a depth of 750 meters. The 100th anniversary of the Göttelborn mine takes place from July 4th to 6th, 1987. The Göttelborn-Reden joint mine was established in 1989. After major public discussions, a new sink pond was created in the Hahnbach valley near Illingen . In 1997, in the year of the 110th anniversary of the mine, it was decided to close the Göttelborn-Reden composite mine despite major protests from the population.
2000 until today
In 2000 the Göttelborn mine finally closed, which was a severe blow for the labor market situation in Göttelborn and the surrounding areas. Industriekultur Saar GmbH (IKS) settles in the future location .
According to the plans of the Saar Education Minister Jürgen Schreier , the primary school in Göttelborn is to be closed in 2005 together with numerous other primary schools due to the demographic development . After bitter protests and numerous demonstrations, the elementary school in association with the Fischbach elementary school remains as a branch of the Fischbach-Göttelborn elementary school.
On December 15, 2012, the Göttelborn volunteer fire brigade was disbanded due to the persistent staff shortage. Since then, fire protection in the district has been ensured by the rest of the fire fighting districts of the Quiigart volunteer fire brigade and the neighboring Merchweiler volunteer fire brigade .
Origin of the name Göttelborn
The Göttelborn
The Göttelborn , the watercourse from which the place owes its name, actually existed in the 18th century . The source area was in a meadow on the way to Lummigart, northeast of today's corner of Hauptstrasse / Uchtelfanger Strasse. In 1887, seven springs are still recorded, the water of which flows to Tiefen Graben, which in turn feeds the Merch .
Etymological development of the place name
From an etymological point of view, the place name went through the following development, which can be proven on the basis of historical documents:
- 1735: Gödelborn (is also called that in 1757)
- 1784: Gedelborn
- 1820: Getelboren
- 1833: Göttelborn
The place has only had its current name since around the middle of the 19th century .
Origin of the syllable Göttel
While the second syllable of the place name, -born , clearly stands for the source mentioned, the origin of the first syllable Göttel is still unclear.
The Germanic god Wodan / Wotan was also seen as a possible namesake , which has since been disproved (Göttelborn as a fountain of the gods ). Much more likely, however, is the thesis that the name goes back to a Godilo and that it was given today's phonetic and written form by means of sound shifts .

coat of arms
Göttelborn does not have its own coat of arms, in the book Quiigart - The community in the Saarkohlenwald by Rainer W. Müller and Dieter Staerck, however, a proposal for such a coat of arms that has not been awarded and therefore has not been implemented can be seen. In addition to the geographical location of Göttelborn, the coat of arms also shows a coal wagon , whereby the past of the place, which owes its origin to mining, is also integrated into the coat of arms.
The Quierschieder coat of arms applies to Göttelborn as part of the municipality of Quiigart .
Town twinning
Planned partnership with Wackersdorf
In 2000, the first written contact was made with the municipality of Wackersdorf in Upper Palatinate / Bavaria . This was followed by a unanimous decision by the local council to wish a partnership between Göttelborn and Wackersdorf, thus laying the foundation for a partnership relationship. The main reason for this partnership was the past of the two places, which is strongly connected to mining (in Wackersdorf lignite was mined in open-cast mining until 1982 ). So far, however, it has only been a matter of planning; the actual partnership has not yet been realized.
Partnership with drives
As part of the municipality of Quiigart , Göttelborn maintains a partnership with the city of Trieben in Styria .

Culture
The Göttelborn Association ( IGV for short ), which currently includes 18 associations and groups in the town, has been organizing the annual Göttelborn village festival since 1980.The IGV was founded in 1974 as a non-partisan body, registered as an association in 1986 and has been coordinating the work of the local clubs and organizations. In addition, the IGV publishes an event calendar every year in which, among other things, the dates of the member associations are published.
Buildings
List of architectural monuments in Quiigart
Pit houses
Göttelborn is particularly characterized by the buildings that were erected from 1887 in the vicinity of the Göttelborn mine . Many of these buildings, especially the pit houses in Josefstrasse, Fichtenstrasse and Grubenstrasse, which are now under monument protection, reflect the close connection between Göttelborn and mining. The former mountain preschool (Hauptstrasse 68) and the former transformer station (Zur Martinshütte 6) are relics from this time.
Village fountain in the center of the village
A village fountain in the center of the village (Hauptstrasse / Zum Schacht), designed by the sculptor Hans Glawe from Göttelborn, also bridges the gap with the town's mining past. Four different motifs on this fountain show the everyday life of the miner , the profession that the majority of the male population of Göttelborn pursued until 2001.
Pulley
The pulley , which was set up in Josefstrasse / Grubenstrasse, is also reminiscent of mining. Rope sheaves are one of the most important parts of the headframe used to transport the coal. The rope with which the crew or conveyor baskets are transported up and down runs over these sheaves according to the rope pull principle.
Of course, in addition to the monuments in the village, the former mine site itself, with Shaft 4 (highest coal head tower in the world), the solar power plant (largest solar power plant in the world) and the mine dump , are among the most important structures in the town.
Church building
The Catholic parish church of St. Josef was built in 1934 and largely destroyed by bombs in World War II, after which the building was rebuilt with a mix of modern and traditional elements. In the Marian year 1954 , on May 9th, a statue of Saint Mary was erected at the parish church of St. Josef in Göttelborn. On the plaque on the statue is the following inscription: " Immaculate Heart - Mary - Prayer for us - Marian Year - May 9, 1954 ". Even today, candles are placed there by believers.
The Evangelical Peace Church was built in 1967 as a modern and quite simple building in the shape of a triangle. This form represents the relation to the Holy Trinity and implements it artistically. The church windows were designed by Boris Kleint . In 2011 the church was deedicated .
Headframe shaft IV of the Göttelborn mine
The headframe of shaft IV of the Göttelborn pit, inaugurated in 1992, is one of the highest headframes in Europe with a height of 90 meters. The rope sheaves with a diameter of 7.5 meters were mounted at a height of 74 meters and provided with 6.8 cm thick steel cables. The investments to build this headframe amounted to around 200 million euros. The headframe has not been used since the pit was closed in 2000, but it is a landmark that can be seen from afar. The Göttelborn population affectionately calls it the White Giant because of its size and color .
Natural monuments
Tailings pile
.jpg)
The mining dump of the former Göttelborn-Reden composite mine has a decisive influence on the landscape of the town and its surroundings as a testimony to the mining in Göttelborn that can be seen from afar. The north side of the heap was planted with greenery to create a more natural appearance and the heap no longer appears like a foreign body. In 2006, the so-called Himmelspfeil , a long and sloping asphalt ramp between the mine dump and the solar system, was built on the mine dump. This building was inaugurated on September 16 by the Saarland Environment Minister Stefan Mörsdorf . At a height of 384 meters, a vantage point is also to be created from which, in good weather conditions, one can overlook the Saarkohlenwald and even see the Vosges , the Palatinate Forest and the Hunsrück .
Old mud pond / Kohlbachtal pond
The Kohlbachtalweiher , popularly the old mud pond, near Quiigart has developed from an artificially created sink pond , in which the Göttelborn mine used to have its pit water clarified, into a second-hand biotope. It was built in 1892 to secure the water supply for the Göttelborn pit as a reservoir based on the principle of a dam . For this purpose, a 200 meter long dam was built, the foundations of which were anchored 5 meters deep in the ground. The wall was 7 meters thick at the base and tapered at a height of 10.5 meters up to a thickness of 1.75 meters. The capacity of this reservoir was given as 122,000 cubic meters. In the construction of this reservoir, 7,500 cubic meters of rubble stones, 2,000 cubic meters of sand, 530 cubic meters of hydrated lime , 2,900 tons of cement and 77,000 bricks were used. The quarry stones were extracted by 30 workers in a quarry near the construction site that had been specially created for this construction project. This reservoir captured all natural inflows of surface water in the upper Kohlbachtal. A pump house led the water to Göttelborn, where the residents could tap it at three taps.
Bat path
On and around the old mud pond, a so-called bat path was built by the Saarbrücken city association . Bats , in this case water bats , are cultural followers and have found an ideal hunting habitat on the bank of the Absinkweiher and settled there. They owe this artificially created habitat to the mining of the former Göttelborn mine. A dense belt of reeds has proven to be particularly valuable for bats , as it serves as a nursery for numerous water-dwelling insects or insects that hatch in the water. In this dense forest of stems, the youth stages of the insects not only find enough subsoil to cling to, but also protection from hungry fish, which secures the bats' food sources. Small and large groups can either borrow a small or large bat backpack from the municipality of Quiigart or the Saarbrücken City Association and then under guidance and with the help of various devices (including an ultrasound detector to make the hunting noises of the bats audible and visible) during a Go on a night hike in search of bats. In addition, the Lower Nature Conservation Authority of the Saarbrücken City Association offers guided tours with a so-called Batman .
New mud pond / Hahnwiesweiher
After the old mud pond in the Kohlbachtal was no longer sufficient, a new mud pond had to be built. After major public discussions in advance, a suitable location was found in the Hahnbachtal near Illingen in 1989 and a new sink pond was created. Previously, the Merchtal near Merchweiler (action group Rettet das Merchtal ), the Hölzerbachtal near Fischbach-Camphausen , the Malzbachtal near Uchtelfangen and the Fröhn-Rödelbachtal near Holz had been rejected as locations after massive resistance from the local population, which is why the Saarland Ministry of Economics decided for a small solution and found it with the Hahnbachtal. A dam up to 36 meters high and 40 meters wide was built around the pond. Like the old mud pond, the new mud pond is gradually being transformed into a natural body of water.
Concert forest
The former Bergfestplatz, today's concert forest , was built in 1887, shortly after the Göttelborn pit was first cut. Similar to a park, a music pavilion was built in the fenced-in area, in which concerts regularly took place (hence the name that has been retained by the Göttelborn population to this day). There used to be flower beds and a fountain on the fairground. Today only the numerous trees and the Sankt Barbara Festival Hall , built in 1950 for the ailing Bismarck Hall , remind of the former festival area. The hall was last used as a discotheque and has been empty for years. The concert forest has been used as a village square since 2015. Day care and a restaurant are located in the festival hall.
Kaiserlinde
At the crossing main road / For Wacken Berg of the emperor was on June 16, 1913 to celebrate the 25-year reign, Wilhelm II. Kaiserlinde in the main street, a Linde , called Kaiserlinde planted. A memorial stone made of Holzer conglomerate still commemorates this celebration today.
Upper Merchtal nature reserve
During the search for a new location for the new mud pond, the Upper Merchtal nature reserve , the so-called Wiesental , was shortly before its end. This would have meant the end of numerous animal and plant species (some of them on the red list ) in their previous habitat. However, since the Action Group Rettet das Merchtal collected over 3,500 signatures, this plan was discarded. Scientific studies have clearly shown that the extensive area is absolutely worthy of nature protection , especially thanks to its sandy pastures . The upper Merchtal is home to a wide variety of animal species: among other things, 62 bird species have been identified, nine of which are on the red list , and 36 species of butterflies are at home here, nine of which are also on the red list . In the meantime, the upper Merchtal has developed into a popular local recreation area , which is also thanks to the Saar-Nahe hiking trail that leads through this area. The upper Merchtal can be seen as an ideal combination of nature conservation, agricultural use and local recreation.
Hiking trails
Due to its location, Göttelborn is the destination or at least a partial stage of numerous hiking trails, such as:
- Naheweg
- Haldenrundweg
- The Way of St. James for through Göttelborn. The pilgrim's stamp shows two headframes.
Sports
- Pit stadium of the sports club, Zum Schacht: Although the sports club was founded in 1913, the club initially did not have its own sports field, but shared the (now former) Wahlschieder sports field. After the pit made an area available for a sports field, work began there for a playground, but this was suspended in 1942 because the space was needed to set up a forced labor camp. After the Second World War, the club tried again to find a site for a sports field, south of the main road on the access road to the pit (today Zum Schacht ) a suitable place was found. Between 1947 and 1951, the mine stadium was built by apprentice miners under the supervision of their instructors. During this time, 32,000 cubic meters of earth were moved with the help of conveyor belts and tipping rails. A soccer field (with the Olympic dimensions of 70 by 105 meters) and running tracks were built on 18,000 square meters . A side court with the size of 7,500 square meters was prepared for the eventual construction of a gym and an outdoor swimming pool, but ultimately four tennis courts and the tennis club's clubhouse were built there in 1976, as well as a pétanque field and a playground.
- Right next to the pit stadium are three tennis courts and the club house of the Göttelborn tennis club (TCG), which club members use for training during the summer months. The hobby tournament, a village plays tennis , organized by the TCG every year also takes place there.
- In addition to the tennis facilities, there is also a boules pitch , which is used by amateur players.
- There is a beach volleyball field next to the primary school , which is used by the volleyball division of the Göttelborn gymnastics club .

Göttelborn village festival
The Göttelborn village festival (with two exceptions) has taken place every year in August since 1980, mostly on the first weekend in August. In the first two years it took place in the concert forest , since then it has been held on the Göttelborn market square. There, with the exception of 1989, the festival always takes place with a large action stage. The highlight of the village festival and an integral part of the annual stage program is the Göttelborn maxi playback show , in which numerous Göttelborn residents emulate their idols. The participating clubs offer numerous drinks and meals at their stands, and carousels and jumping castles also ensure fun. From 10 to 12 August 2007 the Göttelborn village festival took place for the 25th time. To celebrate this anniversary, the motto of the village festival was Franco-German friendship , the patron was, in addition to the mayor of the municipality of Qui Various, Otwin Zimmer, and for this reason, the French consul general in Saarland, Jean-Georges Mandon.

The Heh
The people of Göttelborn usually only speak of their place of residence as the Heh (dialect for the height , because of the Göttelborner Höhe , which is 444 m high) and see themselves accordingly as Heher . The annual Göttelborn fair is also always advertised as the Heher Festival . It is not a patronage festival because the community is named after St. Joseph (St. Joseph's Day is March 19). Rather, the former Mayor of Göttelborn Jakob Busch set the festival on his name day, namely July 25th. When it was founded in 1964, the Göttelborn Carnival Association was also known as “Von der Höh” e. V. and bears this name to this day. At the Göttelborn village festivals in 2004 (22nd village festival) and 2005 (23rd village festival), a youth band competition under the title HYBC - Heher Young Band Contest took place on Friday evenings . The game and sporting event Heher Spassl also took place in these two years . The songwriter Manuel Sattler, who comes from Göttelborn and sings his songs in Saarland , calls himself the songwriter von da Heh .
Current
In 2008 Göttelborn celebrated its 250th anniversary. A specially set up festival committee made up of representatives from politics, associations and committed citizens organized several festivities. A coal pile, which was supposed to remind of the origins of the place, whose inhabitants lived with the forest, a large marquee and a historical pageant that illuminated aspects up to the current local history. The year 1758 was taken as the basis for the 250th anniversary. However, since the name Gödelborn appears on an old border map from 1735 , the founding of Göttelborn in 1758 is questioned by many. If, however, the year 1735 is taken as the starting point, the anniversary should have taken place in 1985.

Remarks
- ↑ Mines were referred to as firedamp pits when bad weather occurred. Which mine was designated as a firedamp pit was the responsibility of the responsible mining authority. Every mine in the district of the Dortmund Oberbergamt was regarded as a firedamp pit. (Source: NA Herold: Worker Protection in the Prussian Mountain Police Regulations. )
