Haslach , incorporated into Freiburg on January 1, 1890 , is one of the western districts of the city. After the spin-off of Weingarten , the district consists of the city districts 611 Haslach-Egerten, 612 Haslach-Gartenstadt, 613 Haslach-Schildacker and 614 Haslach-Haid.

Geography and name derivation

In the north, Haslach is bordered by the Dreisam opposite the neighboring district of Stühlinger , to the east by the Rheintalbahn Mannheim – Basel opposite the district of Wiehre and to the west by the freight railway line and Opfinger Straße opposite Weingarten and by Besançonallee and to the south by Guildfordallee and Wiesentalstraße opposite the neighboring district of Sankt George .

The name “Haslach” is derived from the old German “Hasala” for hazelnut tree and “Aha” for flowing water. At today's Dorfbach, however, the hazelnut trees have become rare. There have been times when it was mistakenly believed that the name was derived from rabbit. This is why it can still be found in the coat of arms on the village fountain and on the Pestalozzi School.

history

Haslach was first mentioned in a document in 786. In a deed of donation dated December 26, 786, Heimo and his daughter Svanahilt transferred some villages, including Haslach (Haslaha), to the St. Gallen monastery . Since no earlier documentary mentions are known, it cannot be determined how old Haslach actually is; however, it is clear that the foundation was established before 786.

In 1120 the city of Freiburg was founded in the immediate vicinity. This shaped the development of Haslach. In particular, the market in Freiburg promoted the economic situation in Haslach.

The parish of Haslachs was first mentioned in 1261, but it must have existed for some time. Since Haslach belonged to the margraviate of Baden-Durlach during the Reformation, it became Lutheran and in 1821 Protestant union. Therefore, today's Melanchthon Church is the oldest Protestant church in the city of Freiburg and has the oldest church tower in Freiburg. The Catholic parish church of St. Michael dates from 1909 and has been massively expanded several times.

In the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) Haslach was completely destroyed in 1633.

Under the Mayor of Freiburg , Otto Winterer (term of office from 1888 to 1913), after the incorporation in 1890, Haslach began to be expanded with housing developments for workers. In 1914 the first houses in the garden city in Haslach were built based on the model of the British Ebenezer Howard . This residential area with its row houses and the associated large gardens, which were intended for the self-sufficiency of the residents, is now a listed building . This development still shapes the district today. At the east end of the garden city, between Schönbergstrasse and Eschholzstrasse, there are three striking high-rise buildings, popularly known as the Three Musketeers . The brick buildings were occupied in 1961.

From the 1960s, Haslach was increasingly developed with family housing. As a result, the district is now a very homogeneous residential area with a good infrastructure (indoor garden swimming pool, tram connection, schools, kindergartens, shops, large green spaces, etc.).

Village Fountain (1892)

The Haslacher Dorfbrunnen was donated by the city of Freiburg in 1892 as "a reminder of the incorporation of Haslach". Julius Seitz's fountain is built on three sides, as the three streets of Freiburg, St. Georgen and Opfingen met here. The Freiburg and Haslach coats of arms and an eagle are depicted on the fountain column. There are three inscriptions under the well basin:

• "Haslach merged with Freiburg in 1890"
• "Construction of the well in 1892"
• "Feeding the water pipe 1894"

The paved area around the fountain was originally triangular, it was rounded off in 1908 on the side facing Gutleutstrasse due to the increasing volume of traffic. In 1969 the fountain was moved to its current position at Carl-Kistner- and Uffhauserstraße, as it was in the way of widening Carl-Kistner- and Markgrafenstraße.

1929–31, under Freiburg's city planner Joseph Schlippe, the arbor colony southwest of the Nonnenmattweg was built. It uses the principle of accessing the apartments via arcades and was modernized in 2007. However, some houses on the freight railway line were demolished in order to preserve the listed buildings. There are little wash houses between the rows.

In the square between Basler Strasse, Müllheimer Strasse, Schildackerweg and Neuenburger Strasse ⊙ , the ECA estate was built in 1962 with funds from the Marshall Plan . As the buildings were in need of renovation, demolition work began in December 2016. The first tenants moved in in 2019. They should be replaced by new buildings by 2022 .

To the north of the garden city, between the indoor swimming pool and the Rhine Valley Railway, on both sides of Eschholzstraße, the allotment gardens used to extend to Carl-Kistner-Straße. A part had to give way in 2010 for the new Gutleutmatten development area . However, construction did not begin until October 2015. It will one day include 500 residential units.

The story of the Jewish journalist Käthe Vordtriede became known in Freiburg and throughout Germany through a book publication in 1998 . From 1926 to 1938 she lived at Fichtestrasse 4. Käthe Vordtriede and her children Fränze Vordtriede and Werner Vordtriede were persecuted by the Nazis and therefore had to emigrate. The Vordtriede-Haus Freiburg citizens' project, which has existed since 2014, recalls what happened at that time and provides information about National Socialism . Since 2006 there has also been a stumbling block in front of the former house.

Public facilities

The main building of the Freiburg im Breisgau fire brigade is located in Haslach, which houses the professional fire brigade as well as three volunteer fire brigade departments, as well as the fire and disaster control office and the integrated control center . The Lower Town Department is responsible for most of Haslach's 17 voluntary emergency departments in Freiburg . In addition to other schools, Haslach has Freiburg's only comprehensive school , named after the Nobel Prize winner Hermann Staudinger . The construction from 1970 is to give way to a new building by 2025 . To the south of it there has been the Haslach indoor garden pool since 1976.

Transport links

After tram line 5 connected Haslach with the city center from 1913 to 1961, line 5 has been running again through Carl-Kistner-Strasse since 2002. Initially it only drove from Haslach to the Pressehaus, but two years later it was tied to the Johanneskirche. Since March 2019, it has been running on the new route over the Rotteckring to Europaplatz (formerly Victory Monument). The tram is supplemented by bus line 14 to the Haid industrial park and on the southern edge of Haslach by bus line 11 to Sankt Georgen.

The motorized individual traffic touches the district in the north with the feeder Mitte, the federal highway 31a , in the west with the Besançonallee and in the south the federal highway 3 cuts through the district.
