Hellabrunn

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hellabrunn (old spellings Hellenbrun , Hellenprun , Hellbrun , Hellbronn ) was the name of a single farm in the former municipality of Giesing , which was incorporated into the Bavarian capital of Munich on October 1, 1854 . The single farmstead was immediately south of Siebenbrunn . In the list of localities of the Kingdom of Bavaria from 1876, the single settlement with two buildings and two residents is recorded (status of the census on December 1, 1875).

The area is part of today's Harlaching district (Siebenbrunn district of the Untergiesing-Harlaching district ). Today the name is often used to denote the Hellabrunn Zoo in Munich (not to be confused with the Hellbrunn Zoo in Salzburg ).

The first written mention of the place under this name dates from March 20, 1754, on that day the estate of Franz Anton von Paur in the Giesinger Au was elevated to a noble seat. The name means bright fountain or clear water , names of this type were popular for castles in the Baroque ( Fontainebleau , Clairfontaine ), see also Siebenbrunn . The content same name performs for its water features famous Hellbrunn in Salzburg , which was built from 1612 to 1619. The name is probably an allusion to the water features in the baroque park of the castles on the slope edge above the river meadows, for example the waterfalls of the Harlaching Palace Gardens at the foot of the mountain ended in 25 fountains . The origin of the name as a reference to a bright spring gushing out of the Isar slope is rather unlikely , although several small springs arise in the area, none of these is unusually clear or otherwise conspicuous. From 1812 the name also appears in the Topographical Atlas of Bavaria. When the community was formed in 1818, Hellbrun became part of the Harlaching community, and later it was added to (Ober-) Giesing for some time . On October 1, 1854, Hellabrunn, which belonged to the municipality of Giesing, was reclassified to Munich.
