Heddesdorf is a formerly independent municipality in Rhineland-Palatinate , which was incorporated into the city of Neuwied in 1904 by means of an unification agreement .

The two parts of the so-called "old town of Neuwied" - the original town of Neuwied is now referred to as the inner city - are now politically and legally not run as districts, as they do not have their own political representatives. 11,268 inhabitants live in Heddesdorf today, 11,459 in the city center (as of June 30, 2006).

location

Heddesdorf is bounded in the west by the Wied and Neuwied districts of Irlich , in the north by the districts of Niederbieber and Torney , in the east by the districts of Block and Heimbach and in the south by the inner city, which separates Heddesdorf about two kilometers from the banks of the Rhine.

The area essentially consists of:

  • Alt-Heddesdorf is the origin of the place with the oldest houses and the old Heddesdorf church. When Heddesdorf was mentioned until 1955, this area was meant.
  • The Raiffeisenring was built in the 1960s as a residential area with a horticultural facility, three medium-sized high-rise buildings and a local supply infrastructure.
  • The Heddesdorfer Berg is a residential area that was mainly built in the 1970s and 1980s in a moderate hill or hillside location. Various schools were also planned in this area from the start.
  • The Distelfeld industrial area is in the east, the Friedrichshof industrial area in the northeast of Heddesdorf.

As with the entire area in the Neuwied Basin, it can also be assumed from Heddesdorf that it was already used as a settlement area in Magdalenian . The first settlement in historical times was by the Roman Empire around 90 AD to probably 190 AD, when a cohort fort existed in today's Heddesdorf district . Grave finds from the Merovingian era have been found on the site of today's Protestant Heddesdorf Church and the former Roman fort.

founding

The nucleus of Heddesdorf was probably an empire-free Franconian Salhof with an own church that was added later. On December 25, 962, Bruno , Archbishop of Cologne, brother and Chancellor of Otto the Great , gave this church in "Hedenesthorp" in the "Engersgau" to the Cäcilienkloster in Cologne . The name ending -dorf refers to a foundation of the Franconian settlement period of the 7th / 8th. Century, the part "Hedenes-" is probably due to the name of the founder.

The von Heddesdorf family appeared for the first time on June 30, 1218 in a deed of donation from Heinrich von Isenburg, when Crafto de Hetensdorff was named as a documentary witness. The Heddesdorf coat of arms is also documented here for the first time, showing a white diagonal stripe downwards on a blue background with three red scallops as a presumable reference to pilgrimages.

Modern times

The tradition of the Heddesdorf Pentecostal fighters began at least since 1564, but probably long before 1487 .

The Rasselstein ironworks, first mentioned in 1655, was built in the Wiedtal valley . In 1835 it manufactured the rails for the first German railway line from Nuremberg to Fürth. In 1784, the Counts of Wied-Neuwied, the so-called Lower County of Wied, were raised to the rank of imperial prince, but lost their rights of rule as a result of the Reichsdeputation Hauptschluss in 1803, including in Heddesdorf. After the fall of Napoleon and the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Heddesdorf came to what would later become the Rhine Province . The "Mayor's Office Heddesdorf" was founded on April 15, 1817, to which Niederbieber also belonged. In 1851 Eduard Justus von Runkel was appointed district administrator, who made his home, the Isenburger Hof , a district administrator. In 1852 Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen was appointed mayor of the local mayor's office in Heddesdorf.

20th century

A decisive event was and remains the incorporation of Heddesdorf into the city of Neuwied. Neuwied's location was narrow in terms of area due to the spacious Heddesdorf district and so the attempt to incorporate Heddesdorf was only logical. On May 20, 1904, District Administrator Runkel announced:

“By His Majesty's highest cabinet order of May 14, 1904, the incorporation of the village of Heddesdorf into the city of Neuwied was approved. The incorporation takes place with retroactive effect from April 1, 1904. “Kaiser Wilhelm II had decided. A dispute agreement and a union agreement finally ensured an orderly transition from the Heddesdorf community to Neuwied.

coat of arms

In 1957, the Heddesdorf office was renamed the Niederbieber-Segendorf office according to the real situation. In 1960 the construction of the Raiffeisen School began, which was inaugurated in 1962 and was an essential prerequisite for the development of the adjacent new building area Raiffeisenring. The open-air swimming pool on Andernacher Strasse also opened in 1962 and the Middle Rhine Industry, Trade and Trade Exhibition (IHAGA) opened its doors for the first time in the following year. In the same year the citizens of Heddesdorf celebrated the 1000th anniversary of the founding of the town with a large parade.

After the formation of the new town of Neuwied in 1969/70, the construction of the commercial schools on Heddesdorfer Berg began in 1971. In 1974 the "Ahl Schull" on the corner of Schmandtstrasse and Grabenstrasse was demolished and rebuilt in the Bad Sobernheim open-air museum . In 1977 the ice rink was opened in the vicinity of what is now the Raiffeisen Stadium. In 1979 August Welker , teacher at the Raiffeisen School and a well-known Neuwied linguist and dialect poet, died.

1977–1980 numerous renovations and demolitions of traditional houses laid the foundation for today's traffic management in the Andernacher Strasse / Heddesdorfer Strasse / Hofgründchen area. In 1984 the Raiffeisdruckerei left its location at the Heddesdorfer Straße railway underpass, where it had existed since it was founded in 1904, and moved into new buildings in Segendorf.

In 2001 local advisory boards were set up in the Neuwied districts: Heddesdorf was ignored. In the following year Heddesdorf celebrated the 150th anniversary of Raiffeisen's appointment as Mayor of Heddesdorf with a street party. In 2005, the Prof. Hueppe Stadium was renamed the “Raiffeisen Stadium” because Ferdinand Hueppe was no longer acceptable as a namesake due to his contributions to “ racial hygiene ”. In 2007, IHAGA, the largest consumer fair in northern Rhineland-Palatinate, was renamed REGIONARA .
