Hochdorf is a district of Freiburg im Breisgau .
Hochdorf lies together with its district Benzhausen in the north-west of Freiburg. It borders on the three March villages Hugstetten , Buchheim , and Holzhausen . To the southeast of the A5 running through the district is the Hochdorf commercial and industrial area in the Markwald .
history
Prehistory and early history
The settlement of the Hochdorf district can be traced back to the Neolithic Age . In 1969 a living pit was discovered that can be assigned to the Michelsberg culture .
There are two barrows from the Hallstatt period , less than two kilometers from Hochdorf between Hugstetten and Buchheim. Pottery shards, which can be counted from the same era , were found between Hochdorf and Benzhausen. Subsequent exploratory excavations in 1988 confirmed the existence of a Celtic settlement.
Finds from 1928, 1972 and 1976, which include the foundations of brick kilns and terra sigillata , suggest a Roman industrial park and other settlement activities from this period.
Extensive finds of graves, weapons and artistic dishes have been preserved from the time of the Alemanni .
First documentary mentions
The first written mention of Hochdorf dates back to 773 , found in deeds of transfer of ownership to the Lorsch Monastery , which were summarized in the Lorsch Codex around 1180 .
Only a little later, in 788 or 791, Benzhausen was also mentioned for the first time: it was the exhibition venue for a deed of donation to the St. Gallen monastery . In contrast to the Hochdorf documents, the original mention of Benzhausen is still preserved today.
It is interesting that Hochdorf and Benzhausen are mentioned in documents more than 330 years before Freiburg.
Younger story
As part of the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg, it was planned from 1969 to merge the five villages (Hochdorf, Benzhausen, Hugstetten, Buchheim and Holzhausen) into an administrative community. However, since this failed repeatedly and the city of Freiburg lured with attractive contracts, it was decided after two referendums to join Freiburg. The incorporation was completed on September 1, 1973.
Population development
The first known population figures are dated to 1526 and thus the end of the Peasant War : Hochdorf and Benzhausen together had around 300 inhabitants at that time. The number sank, probably mainly due to the Thirty Years War, to only 160 inhabitants by 1648. Since that time, the number of inhabitants rose steadily until the middle of the 20th century, despite smaller declines due to emigration to Hungary (approx. 1750–1800) or America (approx. 1820–1890). In 1963 the mark of 1000 inhabitants was exceeded. From about this time the population began to skyrocket. Hochdorf developed into the fastest growing old part of Freiburg and had over 5000 inhabitants in 2018.

coat of arms

partnership
Since 1978 there has been a partnership with Chevilly-Larue in France, a commune in the Val-de-Marne department , southwest of Paris.
Culture
The central art depot of the municipal museums is located in the industrial area .
religion
The Roman Catholic St. Martins community in Hochdorf forms a pastoral care unit together with Freiburg-Landwasser . The parish of St. Martin today has 2560 Catholics.
Since the 1970s there has also been a Protestant parish with its own group of elders. In 1992 the newly built Katharina-von-Bora-Haus was inaugurated as a parish hall with a church service room. The Protestant parish in Hochdorf is part of the Freiburg parish and currently has more than 1,300 parish members.
Parish Church of St. Martin
The St. Martins Church stands on a slightly elevated square in the middle of the village. It can therefore be assumed that the site was of particular importance even before a church building was erected.
The existence of a church on today's property can be traced back to 1147. However, it was enlarged, rebuilt and renovated several times . The church only got its present shape in 1717. The tower (now a listed building ) was completed in 1760.
The organ was built in 1804 by Xaver Bernauer (1768–1831) from Staufen im Breisgau . Her work, she lost in 1913 by a new building, leaving only exists the late baroque case from her, in which the organ builder John Rohlf ( Ruit-Ostfildern ) 1975 a new organ with 14 registers einbaute distributed on main factory , background work and pedal , with mechanical register and game action . In 2001 the organ was renovated, again by Orgelbau Rohlf.
St. Agatha Chapel
Mentioned for the first time in 1596, the St. Agatha Chapel in Benzhausen was of subordinate importance due to the lack of a pastor of its own .
In contrast to St. Martins Church, regular services only take place from the finding of the cross (May 3) to the exaltation of the cross (September 14).
Sculpture world leader
On the Waldhockplatz in Hochdorf, the Freiburg sculptor Thomas Rees created the large sculpture Weltlenker from a 200-year-old uprooted moss forest oak. The figure is intended to commemorate the oak that fell onto the fairground 3 days after the 2014 Forest Festival. Thomas Rees made the sculpture on site from autumn 2015, the inauguration took place in June 2016. The sculpture is made of oak with a height of about 8 meters and a weight of about 8 tons. The circumference below is about 3 meters, the diameter of the root stock about 3.5 meters above.
Kindergartens and elementary schools
Since the Kunterbunt kindergarten was closed, there are now the rainbow and dandelion kindergartens. In contrast to the rainbow kindergarten, Löwenzahn is a day care center for children. The primary school in the Hochdorf district is the Mühlmattenschule, which was built and moved into in 1991. All the facilities mentioned are located near the Mooswaldhalle (gym) and the swimming pool, where sports and swimming lessons also take place.
Recreation
The two bathing lakes Tunisee and Silbersee , which owe their origins to the road construction in the area (with the A5 in the immediate vicinity), are of particular importance . Both are operated as camping lakes, but they are freely accessible for day visitors for a fee. The Tunisee is equipped with a water ski facility.
A large dance and music festival ( Sea You Festival ) has been held once a year at Lake Tunisee since 2002 .
traffic
The traffic in Hochdorf is characterized by the federal motorway 5, which is just a short distance away, whose exit "Freiburg Nord" opens near the district of Benzhausen and continues in several directions on federal roads towards March or Gundelfingen . Through a bypass road to the industrial area, one rarely sees trucks in the center of the village.
The district of Hochdorf is served by the Freiburger Verkehrs AG with the bus line 36 from Landwasser every 20 minutes, where there is a connection to the city train in the direction of the city center. At the weekend in a 30-minute wagon sequence. In addition, since 2004 there has been an additional connection on weekdays with bus line 25 to the north industrial area from Hugstetten . In addition to some regional bus routes in the direction of March and Colmar, there is a connection to the Breisgau S-Bahn in Hugstetten , which runs every half hour to Freiburg city center or to Breisach .
In 1995 there were plans to build a light rail to Hochdorf, but they were dropped again for cost reasons (such as crossing railway tracks and underpassing the A5).
