history

The first reliable documentary mention of Harthausen can be found in the 1304 inventory (goods and income list) of the St. Katharinen Hospital in Esslingen am Neckar . The entry about Harthausen was made in 1310/1311. In Harthausen, the noble line of the Lords of Bernhausen initially exercised the bailiwick until 1338 .

Part of the Vogteirechte went to Esslingen citizens that year. From 1404 the pastor of Plattenhardt held the local rule, in 1466 the Count of Württemberg bought the local rule from him. A smaller part of the village belonged to the imperial fiefdom of Sielmingen , which was held by the lords of Stöffeln, the lords of Stammheim from 1377, the Thumb von Neuburg from 1521 and the Nürtingen hospital from 1532 . Since this hospital was part of Württemberg , this part of Harthausen had been under Württemberg state sovereignty since 1531. Harthausen belonged to the time of the Kingdom of Württemberg and since 1918 the people of the state for office Oberamt Stuttgart . During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , the community came to the Esslingen district in 1938 . In 1945 it came into the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952 .

Due to the small parcel of Harthausen, land always had to be leased in other parishes. As a result, the municipality lost the most important part of its income, the property tax . The residents of Harthausen were very poor, the small estates predominated. In 1907 over 50 percent of the population had less than 2 hectares of land. Therefore, sources of secondary income were sought early on. It was difficult to find a place in the handicrafts , it met local demand (baker, blacksmith, cooper, etc.). Only the linen weaving offered a certain possibility of acquisition. This is why a particularly large number of weavers lived in Harthausen in the 18th and 19th centuries. Another source of income in the 19th century was the cattle trade, as the Oberamtsbeschreibung from 1851 reports.

Because of the low earning potential, the Harthäuser began doing external wage labor relatively early . The men walked the 24 kilometers to Stuttgart as construction workers, day laborers or factory workers and only came home on weekends. The situation improved with the construction of the Filderbahn in 1897 and from 1925 with truck and later bus traffic to Stuttgart. Between 1927 and 1933, there was a lot of construction in Harthausen, especially by the building craftsmen working in Stuttgart.

After the Second World War, Harthausen became more and more of a residential and commuter community due to the immigration in the 1950s and 1960s. From 1950 to 1974 it had the highest growth rate of 256 percent of all five Filderstadt districts, from 1975 and 1998 it only grew by 12 percent. In 2004 the 4000-inhabitant mark was exceeded.

On January 1, 1975, Harthausen merged with the communities of Bernhausen, Bonlanden auf den Fildern, Plattenhardt and Sielmingen to form the community of Filderlinden , whose name was changed to " Filderstadt " on July 25 of the same year .
