Haselstauden has been the fourth and northernmost district of Dornbirn since 1902 - one year after Dornbirn was named town .
Nationally , hazel bushes are usually referred to as Dornbirn hazel bushes . Haselstauden, which was called Stiglingen for several centuries, looks back on around 800 years of history. Today the district is primarily a residential area, there are significantly more residents than jobs. In the western district area, however, industrial structures can be found and there is a large expected building area for commercial and industrial settlements ("Betriebsgebiet Nord" or "Betriebsgebiet Dornbirn Nord (Pfeller)"). Around 5400 people currently live in hazel trees (11% of the total population of Dornbirn).
geography
overview
Haselstauden is located in the northeast of the Dornbirn city area. While the Haselstauder center with a height of 441 m is still at about the same level as the center of Dornbirn, the terrain continues to rise towards the east and forms a natural settlement boundary there. The highest point is reached near the 944 m high "Nackkopf", which is located relatively close to the populated Oberfallenberg . In the east, on Haselstaud's local mountain Achrain , are all of the 14 plots and large areas of largely untouched forest.
The core area is as densely populated as the other urban areas, but there are still large, contiguous, unpopulated areas in the northern area, which has a similar topographical structure, such as the almost two-square-kilometer “Pfeller”, which is barely inhabited. What is striking is the large number of green spaces and trees in the core area, even for the “garden city of Dornbirn”.
In the West Haselstauden borders the Rohrbach District , on the south by the district market , the north by the municipality of Schwarzach , on the northeast by the municipality of Alberschwende and to the east by the municipality of Schwarzenberg .
Rivers and bodies of water
The most important river Haselstaudens is the Stiglbach (more rarely also "Haselstauderbach" - for the naming see section " History "). Its tributaries arise on the eastern hills, meet on the eastern edge of the main settlement and then flow through the district. The river flows into the Fischbach in the Rohrbach district, which itself flows into the Dornbirner Ach . There are fish stocks in the Stiglbach. The Stiglbach also marks a kind of “settlement boundary” in the north, as the area beyond the main street “Stiglingen” is hardly inhabited. The river was previously used for tanning leather and for generating energy. Today the river is of comparatively little importance. For example, there are hardly any swimming or recreational opportunities.
Another river has its source in the Stüben parcel; it flows south of the Stiglbach through Haselstauden, temporarily marks the border with the Markt district, and finally flows into the Fischbach in the immediate vicinity of the main river. In Haselstauden there is no lake and only a few still waters. The extinguishing water pond in the Heilgereuthe parcel is worth mentioning at this point . It is a very small, dammed pond that was previously used by the fire brigade as a source of extinguishing water. This is how he got his name.
Parcels
Haselstauden has 22 parcels, more than any other district. All parcels in the eastern municipality are well above the height of the core area. The hamlets are spread over an area that is significantly larger than that of the main settlement. They are connected to the core area and to each other by a road network.
The most important, because it is the largest and most populous parcel, is the Knie, which can be reached in a few minutes after a short climb from the north of Haselstauden. It borders Schwarzach in the west. The Vorarlberg SOS Children's Village is also located in the knee . Most of the other parcels consist of only a few households. The Heilgereuthe plot to the east of the knee houses a primary school that was renovated in the 1990s. The neighboring parcel Jennen houses a chapel , as does Winsau .
history
prehistory
The old country road from Hohenems (via Haslach , Mühlebach , Achmühle, Oberdorf , Steinebach and Kehlen - Römerstraße) has led through Haselstauden since ancient times. This connection was partially prone to falling rocks (see Breitenberg ).
The earliest documented mention of Haselstauden comes from September 17, 1249. The then Pope Innocent IV spoke in a document next to "Tornburon" (Dornbirn) and "Kuun" (today's parcel Knie) also of "Stiglingen" and meant the populated area along the Stiglbach, not far from today's center. The name is probably derived from the word staircase, which is mainly used in Austria and which is synonymous with stairs. But what is meant by this staircase could not be reconstructed. Possibly this was a tribute to the very rugged course of the river, with some very steeply sloping plains. In an Austrian interest list from 1431, however, the northern part of Dornbirn was referred to as “ennend dem Moos”.
Modern times
About a hundred years later, in 1536, the name Haselstauden was recorded for the first time. One document speaks of “in the Haselstauden zu Stiglingen”. Based on this formulation, it can be assumed that hazel bushes were only a small settlement near Stiglingen at that time. As this settlement grew over time, the name hazel bushes was applied to the entire area. After 1640, at the intersection of Landstrasse, Stiglingen, Wälderstrasse and Mitteldorfgasse, the Zur Gams inn (later the Grafenhaus ) and a little later a chapel opposite was built. This led to a relocation of the previous village center (Mitteldorfgasse / Mühlegasse) to the inn and subsequently to the construction of the parish church Dornbirn-Haselstauden ("To our Lady of the Visitation") near this inn.
In the following decades there was an increase in population due to the increasing emigration of inhabitants of the neighboring mountains into the valley. The small village gained greater importance towards the end of the 18th century when the construction of Dornbirn's first (Catholic) parish church (1792/93), the Church of Our Lady of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, began.
Younger story
Dornbirn received town charter in 1901 and Haselstauden - along with three other districts - was named the fourth district in 1902; the others were Hatlerdorf , Oberdorf and Niederdorf (today “market”). Since then, the number of inhabitants has increased fivefold. In 1994 the Rohrbach district was re-established from parts of Haselstauden and Markt, and the district also had to give up a larger area in the southeast. This caused great resentment among the population.
population
In 2012, 5409 people lived in Haselstauden, making the district in front of Oberdorf and behind Schoren the fifth and penultimate place among Dornbirn's districts.
Haselstauden's history of around 800 years - for the most part without any direct connection to other Dornbirn settlements - has meant that the residents of the district still have a relatively strong sense of independence.
The residents of Haselstaudens jokingly refer to themselves as "gravel" and their district is derived from it as "Scotland". The term “gravel” is by no means adopted from Scotland . Rather, it is assumed that a chaplain named Benedikt Schott, who worked in Haselstauden towards the end of the 18th century, is responsible for the eponym. It is particularly popular to talk about during the carnival season . For example, a local carnival newspaper is published every year that alludes to the name.
As in the rest of Dornbirn and Vorarlberg, the Haselstauder population is predominantly Roman Catholic. In addition to the Catholic Church, there are also other Christian institutions (see section Religion ) and a mosque for Muslims.
Culture
tradition
The time period of Carnival also includes two events that attract several thousand visitors each year. In addition to the traditional bonfire, there is also the Haselstauder carnival parade, which is one of the largest in the area. May 1st, the Austrian national holiday, is brass music day. The musicians move through the streets and play songs on wind instruments. The “tent festival” takes place at irregular intervals on the soccer field, where regionally and nationally well-known pop and folk music interpreters perform. Roasts are traditionally stolen from the oven all over Dornbirn on “gumpy Thursday”, the start of the actual carnival. On the following "brittle Friday", children blacken themselves with soot.
Sports
The oldest sports club in Haselstauden is Dornbirner SV, founded in 1954 . The club currently plays in the fifth-class national league. In the early 1970s he was briefly represented in the second highest Austrian league. Around the turn of the millennium, the sports club was the strongest football club in Dornbirn for several years, even if the promotion to the now third-class regional league was no longer successful. The indoor and outdoor facilities of the Haselstauden tennis club are adjacent to the grounds of the Dornbirner Sports Club.
In the course of the renovation work at the Winsau elementary school, the Winsau sports club was founded in 1993, which mainly organizes sporting events for the residents of the Haselstauder parcel.
The most successful basketball club in Vorarlberg, the ABC Lions, played their first division games for some time in the hall of the Haselstauden Middle School. A hall in the Dornbirn exhibition center is now used as the primary system .
During the World Gymnaestrada 2007 in Dornbirn, the participants from the Netherlands were accommodated on the Haselstauder sports field .
Infrastructure
traffic
In terms of traffic, the district is characterized by three main streets. These also enclose the main settlement core. Haselstauderstraße (L 3) connects the district with the center of Dornbirn, in the Markt district the street is called Dr. Anton Schneider Street. Stiglingen - formerly part of the Bregenzerwaldstraße - connects Haselstauden with the motorway connection Dornbirn-Nord. In the west is the sulfur, which is of particular industrial importance (see section Economy ). Since the Dornbirn-Nord motorway connection falls into the district area, Haselstauden was affected by heavy commuter traffic, which was weakened by the opening of the Achrain tunnel, which connects the Bregenzerwald with the motorway. In the northeast of the settlement area, the L 49 leads to Alberschwende .
Haselstauden has had a train stop since 1884, which is served by the S1 . After the other Dornbirn stops Hatlerdorf and Schoren as well as the Dornbirn main train station were renovated on the occasion of the World Gymnaestrada 2007, the Haselstauder stop is one of the few in Vorarlberg that is still in its old condition.
The city and rural buses complete the public transport offer. Both companies cross hazel trees with two lines each. According to the director of the Dornbirn city bus office, the “Kirche Haselstauden” stop is one of the busiest stops in Dornbirn, with an average of 2.34 passengers per city bus.
In mid-May 2009 it became known that a redesign of Haselstauderstraße around the center was planned. Construction work is expected to begin in spring 2012.
economy
Compared to other districts of Dornbirn, hazel bushes are of little economic importance. Since there are more residents than jobs, Haselstauden can be described as a residential district.
There are essentially only economic facilities along Haselstauderstraße. The sulfur - a section of Vorarlberger Straße - symbolizes the border to the Rohrbach district. It is the most important commercial street in Dornbirn (especially car dealerships, petrol stations, large-scale retail) and accordingly there is a commercial infrastructure in the part belonging to Haselstauden. In the unpopulated northern district area, north of the Stiglbach and west of the railway line, the "Pfeller operating area" is currently being established, with strong growth expected in the future, as there is a fast connection to the Rheintalautobahn and the Bregenzerwald via the newly built L200.
The catering trade has always been particularly rich in tradition. Many workers commuting to the Bregenz Forest took a break in one of Haselstauden's numerous inns. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the number of catering establishments has been falling continuously, but has been stable for several years.
Facilities
education
The educational offer includes two kindergartens, three elementary schools, a middle school and a technical school for business professions. In theory, it is therefore possible to complete the entire Austrian way to school in Haselstauden.
The Haselstauder kindergarten and the household school are housed in the former Redemptorist monastery. From 1915 this was used as a school and orphanage. The monastery building is directly adjacent to the Haselstauden elementary school, which was built in 1792 and has been renovated and expanded several times since then. There are two more, much smaller elementary schools in the Heilgereuthe and Winsau plots, and a second kindergarten in the SOS Children's Village. The middle school is not far from the train station. It also houses the Haselstauder library, which is run by volunteers.
In addition to the "normal" educational institutions, the Vorarlberg regional center for the hearing impaired is also located in Haselstauden. Children from several nations are taught there in kindergarten and school.
religion

After a chapel was built in Haselstauden in the middle of the 17th century, it was decided in 1792 to build a parish church. In school, the children are told a fabulous story about the construction of the Church of the Visitation of Mary. According to this, shortly after the borders for the church building had been marked out, the Haselstauder citizens moved the floors further outwards in order to get the larger church they wanted. However, it is ruled out that this event actually happened. In 2004 the dilapidated church was extensively renovated, the costs of which were borne by the community.
Directly behind the church is the Haselstauder cemetery, which has served as the final resting place since the church was built. In 2007 an urn cemetery was completed. The rectory is located in the immediate vicinity of the church and can also be rented by private individuals. There are also two chapels in the Jennen and Winsau parcels .
See main article: Pilgrimage Church of the Visitation
In 2008 the construction of a church for a free evangelical community was completed. The building has been used for church services and events ever since. The Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses is also located on the Haselstauden-Markt district border . The AIF Dornbirn Mevlana of the Austrian-Islamic Association, one of the four Dornbirn mosques for the Muslims of the district, is also located on the B 190 / Schwefel on the western district border .
SOS Children's Villages
The Vorarlberg SOS Children's Village was located on the Knie plot . It was opened in 1966 as the ninth Austrian children's village at the endeavors of Hermann Gmeiner (1919–1986). Socially disadvantaged children from Vorarlberg who grow up with up to four "siblings" with a host mother were accepted. The village had its own kindergarten, which was also open to all other children, especially those from the Knie plot. After kindergarten, the children were usually sent to the Haselstauden elementary school. In the meantime, almost the entire children's village has been demolished and most of the land has been sold.
Post office
Not far from the Dornbirn main post office there is another post office on Haselstauderstraße (post code 6857). Originally the "Gasthaus Schäfle" was also housed in the building and offered overnight accommodation. After the "Schäfle" had been empty for years after it was closed, the outer facade was restored in 2008 and reopened under a new owner.
The Post first hit the news around the turn of the millennium when two men raided the branch and demanded money. The perpetrators could be found later.
When the Austrian Post announced a mass closure in the spring of 2009, it became known that the Haselstauder branch should also be closed. After protests by the people of Dornbirn, which were finally introduced in the Dornbirn Citizens' Forum, it was announced at the end of March that a check was being carried out to determine whether the post had a positive balance.
On May 4, 2009, a masked man robbed the post office, threatened the clerk with a knife and asked for cash to be handed over. After the clerk gave the man the money, the man fled. Although an alarm manhunt was initiated immediately, surrounding road junctions were checked by police and a helicopter circled over the area for several hours, the perpetrator could not be caught.
