Heddesheim ( heddesheimerisch : Hellese ) is a municipality with about 11,100 inhabitants. It is located in the Rhein-Neckar district in Baden-Württemberg near Mannheim and is part of the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region .

geography

Location and natural space

Heddesheim is located in the north-west of Baden-Württemberg in the Upper Rhine Plain . Almost half of the district lies on the Neckar alluvial cone . In the immediate vicinity are the Bergstrasse and the Odenwald to the east .

The northern municipal boundary meets the city limits of Viernheim , which is already in the state of Hesse . Heddesheim borders Weinheim to the northeast, Hirschberg an der Bergstrasse to the east, Ladenburg to the south, Ilvesheim to the southwest and Mannheim with the districts of Feudenheim , Wallstadt and Straßenheim to the west .

The municipal area extends over 1271 hectares. Of this, 24.8 percent is settlement and traffic area and 74.2 percent is used for agriculture.

Community structure

The hamlet of Muckensturm, the Neuzenhof farmstead and the Becherbruch houses and the Heddesheim / Hirschberg train station belong to the municipality of Heddesheim.

history

The first settlements in the Heddesheim district can be traced back to around 100 AD, when the Romans founded the town of Ladenburg . The name Heddesheim comes from the Franks who presumably settled in the Heddesheim district during the migration . The Franconian name was probably "Heim des Hedo", from which the place name Heddesheim later developed.

The first documentary mention of Heddesheim was in the Lorsch Codex , according to an expert opinion in the year 917, which is not specifically mentioned there, in a description of the Viernheim Forest as "Hetenesheim". Probably already at the end of the 12th century the Count Palatine took over the rulership of the Rhine . Muckensturm was first mentioned in a document in 1222. Around 1450 about 200 people lived in Heddesheim, which belonged to the Äpfelbacher Zent in the Electoral Palatinate .

The cultivation of tobacco began in 1600 in the fields of the village. Like many other towns in the region, Heddesheim was destroyed by the general Tilly during the Thirty Years' War . Despite multiple wars in the region, the village still had 200 inhabitants at the end of the 17th century.

The old town hall was built in 1719, the Catholic rectory and a reformed church in 1756 . The Catholic Church was established in its present form in 1792. In 1803 the Electoral Palatinate was dissolved and Heddesheim became part of the Grand Duchy of Baden . The district office of Ladenburg was responsible for Heddesheim from 1820. This function was later taken over by the Mannheim district office , which later became the Mannheim district .

Around 1825 the place had 1200 inhabitants. The reformed church was demolished in 1870 and replaced by the current Protestant church . Towards the end of the 19th century, there were already 2600 inhabitants.

In the 20th century, the place was connected to the rail network by the Upper Rhine Railway (OEG). In 1929 the separate districts of Muckensturm and Neuzenhof were combined with Heddesheim. Straßenheim was originally added to the community. However, the residents of Strassenheim successfully defended themselves because they wanted to be incorporated into Mannheim.

Tobacco growing in Heddesheim was at its peak around 1939. A yield of almost 900 tons of tobacco was achieved on an area of ​​300 hectares, which made Heddesheim the largest tobacco-growing community in Germany . After the end of the EU subsidies, tobacco has not been grown in Heddesheim since 2010.

In 1868 the "old school" was built in Beindstrasse. The building on Schulstrasse was added. In 1958 Heddesheim had almost doubled the population to 5280 and another school building was built. With the establishment of the second school location on Rheinstrasse, the old location was renamed Hans-Thoma-Grundschule.

In 1969 the new town hall and the fire station were built, with the community now numbering over 8,000 inhabitants. The second school, the Johannes-Kepler-Hauptschule (today with Werkrealschule), was built in 1971. With the dissolution of the Mannheim district, the community came to the Rhein-Neckar district on January 1, 1973. The community partnership with the French municipality of Nogent-le-Roi was created in 1974. The new community center was built in 1989, the community of Heddesheim counted 11,200 inhabitants.

economy

Originally shaped by agriculture, some smaller industrial companies have settled in Heddesheim. In a central location in the Rhine-Neckar triangle, Heddesheim is mainly a residential community for commuters to the surrounding regional centers of Mannheim and Heidelberg. Heddesheim's agricultural area is 1130  hectares , of which 700 hectares are grain, 266 hectares are livestock and 100 hectares are sugar beets. Although the tobacco community is named, tobacco will no longer be grown in 2010 because the subsidies have ceased to exist and the last four tobacco farmers can no longer derive any economic benefits from the cultivation.

In 2012, one of the largest logistics centers in the region (200,000 m²) was completed in Heddesheim. For the construction project, the head of the Viernheim company group Pfenning Logistics , Karl-Martin Pfenning, founded the Phoenix 2010 GbR with the Viernheim real estate agent Johann Georg Adler . According to their own statement, the businesspeople have invested almost 100 million euros in the project. The settlement has caused a local political dispute between its supporters and their opponents since it was announced; u. a. a legally non-binding public survey was carried out, which resulted in a narrow majority for the project. At the end of July 2013, Wirsol completed the construction of Europe's largest crystalline rooftop solar systems on the eleven hectare roof area of ​​the distribution center in Heddesheim . The plant produces a peak output of 8.1 megawatts.

traffic

Heddesheim has been the terminus of a branch line of the Upper Rhine Railway (OEG for short) since 1909 , which runs from Mannheim-Käfertal via Mannheim-Wallstadt to Heddesheim. The route was operated from 1995 as part of tram line 4 with a route from Heddesheim via Mannheim and Ludwigshafen am Rhein to Oggersheim . The trips to Bad Dürkheim were offered at least every hour. Since June 11, 2016 Heddesheim has been connected to Mannheim Central Station by line 5A. The Deutsche Bahn Heddesheim / Hirschberg stop on the Main-Neckar-Bahn is located in the outlying industrial area . Bus routes lead to Ladenburg, Leutershausen and Großsachsen . Heddesheim belongs to the tariff area of ​​the Rhein-Neckar transport association .

Several motorways pass in the immediate vicinity of Heddesheim. In the north the A 659 between Mannheim and Weinheim, in the east the A 5 and in the west the A 6 .
