About this picture

Haßfurt is the district town of the Haßberge district in the Bavarian administrative district of Lower Franconia , 20 km east of Schweinfurt . The city on the Main was built around 1230 as a border fortification between the dioceses of Würzburg and Bamberg . Although the city's coat of arms shows a hare, the place name comes from the Germanic Hasufurth (Nebelfurt, path through the fog).

history

Haßfurt in the Topographia Franconiae of 1656: “Captured by the Friedlanders in 1632 / and looted by the Swedish-Königmärckische in 1639. In 1641 this place came to the Weymarians. "

Until the church is planted

The place was first mentioned in writing in 1230, when the Würzburg prince-bishop Hermann I von Lobdeburg wanted to secure his area to the east against the Bamberg prince-bishop Siegfried II von Eppstein . The city's earliest seal from the 14th century already shows the upper and lower tower, which is still characteristic of the cityscape today, as well as a gate tower with portcullis to the south adjoining Main. These three gates / towers symbolized the city law.

Haßfurt originally belonged to the Bishopric of Würzburg , was part of the Franconian Empire from 1500 and was left to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany to form the Grand Duchy of Würzburg after the secularization in 1803 in favor of Bavaria in 1805 . In 1814 the city finally fell to Bavaria . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, the municipal edict of 1818 created the municipality as it still exists today.

“In front of the city” was a medieval leprosy , which was named as the “infirmary” and was mentioned in the 17th century.

At the end of the 19th century, Haßfurt played a role as a loading station for granite stones for the building of the Reichstag in Berlin. The stones came from the Fichtel Mountains .

Roads and railways

In the late Middle Ages , a so-called escort road led on the northern side of the Main from Bamberg via Haßfurt to Schweinfurt. The much older Rennweg leads from Königshofen to Hallstadt and past Haßfurt far north. Parallel to the escort road, south of the Main, there was a road that was far less traveled and committed than the one north of the Main. Documents from the early 16th century also show significantly more traffic from Haßfurt to the east than to the west. The escort road was not paved, but was basically a natural path that allowed carts to move around, but was associated with difficulties; the horses and cartwheels partly sank deep in the mud. From 1744 the post ran once a day, a few years later more frequently, from Schweinfurt to Bamberg and back. Around 1800 the mail car still needed 6 hours for 18 km from Haßfurt to Stettfeld. Farmers near the road offered their help and turned it into a business model that suggests that an improvement in the subsoil was deliberately prevented. In 1825 the first road was completed instead of the field path, a road with a paved stone base and a width for two oncoming wagons. The stones were supplied by the neighboring quarries, the municipalities were responsible for the maintenance of the road section. At Ebelsbach the Chaussee crossed the Main and continued on its south bank to Bamberg. The road layout was thus similar to that of today's Bundesstraße 26 . Automobiles first traveled the route around 1910, namely in the form of post buses.

In 1835 the idea of ​​a rail connection between Bamberg and Aschaffenburg was brought up for the first time by representatives of the Lower Franconian trading stalls. This met with little approval from the government in Munich , because it was expanding river shipping and saw it as the optimal mode of transport. In 1843 banks got together to found a corporation for the construction of a railway from Bamberg to Frankfurt , the so-called Ludwigs-Westbahn . This advance prevailed against others who, for example, preferred a route from Nuremberg via Marktbreit to Frankfurt. The railway line was decided in 1846. The Forced Real Estate Assignment for Public Purposes Act of 1837 led to expropriations; however, many farmers whose fields were cut by the new route received severance payments. In Haßfurt and in the neighboring communities, access to the Main was made significantly more difficult by the rails. In the summer of 1850, the first section from Bamberg to Haßfurt was completed, and at the end of 1852 the railway had reached Schweinfurt. Initially, two trains ran in both directions a day. The travel time from Haßfurt to Bamberg was around 40 minutes. In the years up to 1867, further routes were built in Bavaria that were networked with the Ludwigs-Westbahn.

With the beginning of travel journalism in popular literature of the early 19th century, Haßfurt also moved into the focus of papers such as the Gazebo :

"In one of the loveliest areas of the Maingrundes so rich in picturesque beauties, which stretches from Bamberg to Schweinfurt, on a gentle hill, picturesquely cast on the right bank of the Main, lies the pretty town of Haßfurt, south of the wooded mountains of Steigers, bounded on its north side by the railway that follows the curves of the river from Lohr at the foot of the Spessart to via Kulmbach at the foot of the Fichtelgebirge. "

Early 20th century

The telephone has existed in Haßfurt since 1901. The annual statistics for 1905 show slow growth with one switching point (exchange / exchange), 15 private telephone stations (telephones), three telephone stations at authorities, three public telephone stations ( telephone booths ) and a total of 14 telephone subscribers those in the authorities.

Jewish population

As in many places in Lower Franconia, Jews lived in Haßfurt as a not very small minority among the predominantly Catholic population from the time the city was founded . There was already talk of the persecution of the Jews in the late 13th century, for example in connection with the Rintfleisch pogrom in 1298, when the Jews were expelled from Haßfurt or killed. A second wave of persecution of the Jews took place, as in many communities in Europe, in the middle of the 14th century at the time of the plague . The first Jews living in Haßfurt after the plague pogroms can be traced back to 1414.

The Jews always remained in the minority; most probably lived in Judengasse, which no longer exists today. The citizens' lists ( matriculation ) from 1817 only list six Jewish heads of families:

  • the wine and spice dealers Israel Jacob Hesslein and Seligmann Jacob Hesslein
  • the cattle and wine dealer Moises Salomon Lonnerstädter
  • the cloth merchant Joseph Peretz Neubauer
  • the cattle dealer Seligmann Peritz Dessauer
  • the goods dealer Jakob Salomon Friedmann

It was not until the 19th century that so many Jews lived in the city that they founded their own congregation, which belonged to the Schweinfurt district rabbinate . In 1841, for example, there were 1,602 inhabitants in Hassfurt, 22 of whom were Jewish. The number of Jews grew to 125 (4.4% of the population) by 1910. In 1888 they built the first synagogue , a religious school and a ritual Jewish bath in Schlesingerstaße . The Jewish cemetery was in the neighboring village of Kleinsteinach. The high school teacher Moritz Hammelburger was one of the most influential figures in Jewish life around 1900. After his death in 1928 he was succeeded by Lothar Stein, whose work permit was revoked after the Nazis came to power in 1933.

In 1933, 91 Jews were still living in the city (2.6%). This number fell sharply in the years that followed due to the anti-Semitic repression. Among other things, the city administration forbade Jews from September 1935 to maintain business relationships with local companies. The Jews were no longer allowed to use park benches and children were not allowed to play on playgrounds.

First World War

As in the whole of the German Empire, enthusiasm for the First World War prevailed in Haßfurt in 1914 . The small town's train station was the center of euphoria to express. This is where the mobilization trains passed. In the first four days after the start of the war, 18 volunteers from the city reported. In September 1915 173 citizens from Hassfurt were at war, very few came back.

National Socialism

On February 11, 1932, the Haßfurt local branch of the NSDAP was established . Its director was Franz Hanselmann until 1945. In the last free elections before and shortly after Hitler came to power, the NSDAP increased its popularity. In March 1933 35.7% of the citizens of Hassfurt voted for the Nazi party, 49.4% for the conservative Bavarian People's Party , and 10.1% for the SPD .

During the November pogroms of 1938 ("Reichskristallnacht"), Haßfurters loyal to the regime set fire to the interior of the synagogue, piled up Torah scrolls , prayer books and rituals in front of the building and burned them in front of the crowd. All men of Jewish faith were arrested. 34 of the 68 Jews remaining in 1941 managed to emigrate . Those who stayed were deported to extermination camps: 16 Jewish residents on April 22, 1942 via Würzburg to Izbica , the last two to the Theresienstadt ghetto in September .

On the building of the former synagogue, which is now used as a commercial building, a plaque commemorates the November pogrom.

On April 13, 1945 the Führer Headquarters reported that "the Americans advancing between Lichtenfels and Haßfurt against the upper Main were able to gain further ground and cross the river after heavy fighting at Haßfurt and southeast of it."


Incorporations

On January 1, 1972, the previously independent communities Augsfeld, Sailershausen and Sylbach were incorporated. On July 1, 1976, parts of the dissolved municipality of Hainert with about 50 inhabitants were added (with the Kreuztal Monastery in Marburghausen ). On July 1, 1976, Oberhohenried and Unterhohenried followed. The series of incorporations was completed with the incorporation of Prappach, Uchenhofen and Wülflingen on May 1, 1978.

German division

At the time of the division of Germany from 1949 to 1990, Haßfurt was close to the border area .

The GDR press reported repeatedly about events in the city, for example on June 12, 1960 about Alfons Schwanzar, who as a member of the SPD had been elected deputy mayor. According to the Neue Zeit , the Catholic dean Wilhelm Zirkelbach (CSU) took offense at the fact that the citizens had elected a Protestant to this office who had left the Catholic Church. In his function as dean and member of the district council in the Haßfurt district , Zirkelbach arranged "to publicly express our grief" that all processions except for the Corpus Christi procession were canceled. Three days later, Der Spiegel reported on the "scandal" which affected four other converted city councilors in addition to the deputy mayor: Zirkelbach had "just at Pentecost [...] had to lose his spiritual standing in the lowlands of party politics".

Building a commercial hydrogen economy

The municipal companies in Haßfurt and the nationwide active eco-energy provider Greenpeace Energy operate a commercial wind gas plant in Haßfurt . Since September 8, 2016, this has been feeding around one million kWh of hydrogen per year into the gas network, which is generated using excess electricity from renewable energies. For this purpose, a container-sized 1.25 megawatt PEM electrolyser is used in the facility in the port area on the Main .

With this pilot project, Greenpeace Energy and Stadtwerke Haßfurt have shown how an essential component of the energy transition can be achieved by generating hydrogen from excess renewable energy with the help of electrolysers and introducing the generated hydrogen into the gas network.

The global pioneering role of the Haßfurter Stadtwerke for a supply with 100 percent renewable energies was recognized by the International Renewable Energy Organization (IRENA) in January 2020 . In its new White Paper 44 utilities are presented from around the world, with the Stadtwerke Hassfurt are the only utilities in Germany and the outstanding representatives of Europe.
