geography

Geographical location

The former street village Hart is about three kilometers southwest of the city center of Memmingen. In the north it is bounded by the district of Buxach , in the east by the core city of Memmingen, in the south by Dickenreishausen and in the west by Westerhart . The Buxach flows through Hart . It is of course bounded by the Buxachtal, which cuts into the Memmingen dry valley in a 200-meter-wide section, and by the former city pond in the south. To the east, the Buxach valley opens up to about one kilometer wide. The corridor belongs to Upper Swabia in terms of cultural history .

geology

The soil of the Buxach Valley is mostly loamy and poor in humus with a high groundwater level. Agriculture is limited to pastures for feeding cattle. Grain is only grown on the humus-rich Memmingen dry valley soil on the southern edge of the village.

Place name

The name Hart probably comes from the wooded slope on which the settlement was built. But it can also come from a small forest , which can be seen in old engravings near Hart, there is also the city forest on the southern border towards Dickenreishausen. Home care sees the slope theory as the more likely.

The history of the hamlet of Hart is closely linked to the municipality of Buxach . Most of the documents mention both villages, and they were mostly sold together. Most recently, Hart belonged to the Unterhospital Foundation and thus to the city of Memmingen . Hart also belonged to Memmingen in church. It was not until 1638, when Buxach was elevated to a parish, that the hamlet was incorporated into it. The students of the hamlet had to attend school in Buxach. The first pictures were made as copperplate engravings in 1720. In May 1800 the French army crossed the Iller near Ferthofen and defeated the imperial troops in a battle near Hart.

Since October 1, 1818, the two places have also formed a political unit. The first joint mayor came from Hart and was called Johann Jakob Schieß. The hamlet was reclassified to the city of Memmingen on July 1, 1972 together with Buxach during the municipal reform.

In the 1970s, some new building areas were designated on individual streets, including Haldenweg, Alten Postweg and Am Hohlweg / Auf den Wiesen. After that there was a construction freeze until the 1990s. It was not until the late 1990s that individual plots of land were released for residential development again, including the Beim Amann development area , a new dead-end street on the southern edge of the village. The last construction work took place there in 2008 with two semi-detached houses.

religion

Hart was evangelical since the Reformation because he belonged to the Unterhospitalstiftung and thus to the city of Memmingen. This only changed when new houses were built in the 1970s. Today the population of Hart is about 50% Roman Catholic and Protestant. Since Hart does not have its own church building, the Protestant population belongs to the Trinity Church in Buxach, the Catholic to the parish church of St. Josef in Memmingen.

Historic buildings, natural monuments and protected landscape areas

The Zehntstadel is the only historical building to have survived the times. A few farms are over 100 years old.

There are two natural monuments. An approximately 250-year-old oak stands on private property on the corner of Alter Postweg and Auf den Wiesen . Another oak of similar age is at the intersection of Hitzenhofer Weg / Hart .

Parts of the Buxach Valley directly on the Buxach have been designated as a landscape protection area, including many wet meadows as settlement areas for rare animal and plant species. They can only be mowed twice a year. The Buxach itself is not under nature protection and has few fish. It has been straightened in the Hart area without the typical drainage branches that still exist in Buxach .
