history

Hallschlag with social housing

The southern area of the Hallschlag has been one of the earliest populated areas in what is now the Stuttgart district since Roman times . The former Cannstatt Fort and a small settlement can be verified here.

This settlement lasted for a long time, and in addition to the climbing cemetery that still exists today, there was also a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary and the Archangel George. Over time, more and more residents of the village of Altenburg settled in the Neckar Valley . The church was demolished in the 16th century, parts of which were used to build a new church in the Cannstatter suburb. Altenburg was retained as a field name; today it is a district between the Cannstatter Neckarvorstadt and the Hallschlag.

In the early 20th century this area consisted only of gardens and meadows . In 1910 the resettlement of the Hallschlag began with the installation of the cavern barracks that still exist today on the former Roman camp. From the post-war years of the Second World War until the 1970s, many single-family houses , workers' settlements and, above all, social housing were built.

Today around 7,000 people live in Hallschlag. For a long time, the district was considered a social hotspot , which was usually attributed to the high proportion of social housing. Hallschlag has been in a phase of upgrading since the turn of the millennium. Hallschlag has the highest proportion of migrants among the Stuttgart districts, the proportion of foreigners in 2011 was 40.7% (Bad Cannstatt 28.3%, Stuttgart 20.9%), the proportion of residents with a migration background was around 70% (Bad Cannstatt approx. 50 %) %, Stuttgart 38.6%).

Building of the former equestrian barracks, today residential and office building

In the Roman fort, the former cavalry barracks, the new district center was completed in December 2015.

traffic

U12 construction site Bottroper Strasse

A tram line has already run from Cannstatter Wilhelmsplatz to Hallschlag in the past . From 2011 to 2013, as part of the new U12 line, a section of the tram from Löwentor via Züricher Strasse to the new Hallschlag tram stop in Löwentorstrasse was built and opened on September 14, 2013. Since December 2017, the U12 has been running through a tunnel along Löwentorstrasse with a stop at Bottroper Strasse to the Aubrücke in Stuttgart-Münster , where it connects to the U14 route.

religion

In the early 20th century it was planned to build a garrison church. However, this plan was never realized. Today there is a Protestant (Steiggemeinde) and a Catholic parish church (St. Rupert), both of which are kept in the simple concrete style of the 20th century.

There is also a Jewish cemetery in the Hallschlager area. It was laid out in the 1930s because the original Stuttgart Jewish cemetery had become too small due to the reprisals during the Nazi era .
