Geography and location

Kandern-Holzen

Holzen is located west of the Kandertal and west of the Wollbach suburb of Hammerstein and east of Tannenkirch on a slight hill in the middle of the Markgräfler hilly landscape on the edge of the broad Feuerbach hollow. Holzen is just under five kilometers southeast of Kandern.

The populated area of ​​Holzens is extensive, but rather loosely built up and is traversed by the Behlenstrasse and Burgstrasse as the northern thoroughfare. In the south, the town is accessed from Talstraße (Kreisstraße 6319) as the main line. Both axes meet in the east with the district road 6351, which runs from south to north and connects Fischingen and Riedlingen . The old town center is extended to the north by the connections “Weiherweg” and “Im Rebacker”.

history

origin

The oldest known documentary mention dates back to 1275 under the name Holzhain (1283 villa de Holzhein, 1324 Holzhain). Based on finds that can be dated to the Neolithic Age (stone axes, jasper tips ), a much earlier human settlement is assumed. There is also evidence that mining began as early as Celtic and Roman times.

The Margraves of Hachberg-Sausenberg obtained sovereignty over Holzen at the beginning of the 14th century and, over time, also acquired the manor. Administratively, Holzen belonged to the Oberamt Rötteln . Until the end of the 18th century, Holzen shared a dish with Mappach . In 1809 it was assigned to the Kandern district office and in 1819 to the Lörrach office.

The counter-revolution in Holzen

During the second Baden uprising under Gustav Struve in September 1848, the Holzen vigilante opposed the demands to march with the revolutionary troops and after their defeat at Staufen im Breisgau the soldiers secured the Rhine bridge at Hüningen to prevent the infiltration of German troops from France.

Map of Holzen (1879)

During the Baden military revolt in 1849 - also known as the third Baden uprising - the mayor of Kandern, Schanzlin, organized a meeting with other mayors in Binzen on June 24, 1849 to discuss whether the orders of the Baden revolutionary government - the first contingent of the To send vigilante groups to the revolutionary army in the Baden Unterland - should follow. On the morning of June 24th, the armed teams from Riedlingen , Holzen and Tannenkirch also gathered in Riedlingen. The rallying of armed forces was justified by the fact that they wanted to drill together. In fact, they wanted to defend themselves against the threatened measures because of their refusal to participate in the uprising. Under Colonel Raquilliet, 150 men from the revolutionary government moved from Freiburg im Breisgau to force the soldiers from Kandern and the surrounding area to march off to join the revolutionary army. Captain Keller of the revolutionary troops demanded that the soldiers gathered on the street in Riedlingen lay down their arms and threatened violent measures. After the request was not obeyed, he gave his troops the order to fire. The military man Johann Friedrich Silbereisen from Holzen was shot and Thomas Feuchter - also from Holzen - was seriously wounded. The soldiers returned fire, and Captain Keller was also killed by the revolutionary troops. The revolutionary troops then withdrew, but came back the following day with a 1,000-strong contingent, which consisted mainly of the second contingent of the Freiburg vigilante group and also carried cannons and, under the orders of Karl von Rotteck jr. was standing. There are reports of numerous attacks by the Freiburg vigilante group. Silbereisen was quietly buried on June 26th, and only after the uprising had been put down did a large funeral service take place in Holzen on August 19th, 1849. In a letter dated January 26, 1850, the grand-ducal government expressed its appreciation to the “ communities of Holzen, Riedlingen, Kandern, Tannenkirch, Mappach, Wollbach and Hertingen for their courageous, legal and constitutional behavior ” during the revolutionary tyranny . The letter also emphasizes the dragoons Georg Bauer from Holzen, who was a leader of the military men.

Incorporation

Since the administrative reform on March 1, 1974, Holzen has been part of the town of Kandern in the Baden-Württemberg district of Lörrach . The municipality's consent to the connection was only given under the threat that otherwise there would be forced integration. The former municipality was able to maintain a certain influence on its fortunes through its local council .

Culture and sights

Buildings

Seniors University

The senior university of Holzen was opened in 1997. The then Minister for Science and Art of the State of Baden-Württemberg, Klaus von Trotha , attended the opening. The nucleus was the Holzen symposium launched in 1991 by the artist Martin Rabe . He periodically opened his studio and held discussions on art subjects. For many years, the science historian Ernst Peter Fischer was vice-president of the sponsoring association for founding the private University of Applied Sciences Holzen. Three academic years with three two-month trimesters each were designed. The college had five professorial positions and was set up for 50-100 students.

In 2002 the university had to file for bankruptcy - due to a lack of funds, no bankruptcy proceedings were opened. After a follow-up project also went bankrupt after a short time, the Rudolf Steiner Academy operated a private university with a lecture program from 2005. The university building has been rented by the Janz team since 2011 , which has a training center for Christian musicians there.

Stork enclosure

Stork enclosure in Kandern-Holzen

Holzen has the nickname stork village because storks have been settled there in an enclosure since 1979 . Until 1977 the village had storks on the church tower, which migrated as migratory birds every year. After they did not resettle in 1977, considerations were made as to how to attract storks again. Since storks like to settle down near their conspecifics, a stork enclosure was created on a plot of land made available free of charge. The first six pairs of storks were obtained from the enclosure in Altreu , Solothurn , where storks have been settled since 1948. Due to the winter feeding, there was no longer any reason for the storks to embark on the dangerous migration to the south and around 20 nests are occupied all year round. Nonetheless, a number of the 40 or so young storks each year travel to Africa in autumn. Many storks stay permanently in Markgräflerland , where they are now at home on many church towers. The enclosure looks after around 30 storks. It is financed through donations and the income from the stork festival, which takes place every two years .

Festivals and clubs

In addition to the stork festival, which takes place every two years, the handicrafts market has a strong attraction in the surrounding area. In addition to the fire brigade, there is a choir with a children's choir, the sport shooters, the children's and youth club and the women's club.

economy

The community had larger forest holdings, partly together with Riedlingen. The own forest is known for its oak stocks . Iron ore was mined in the municipality as early as Celtic times and until around 1862. The Dogger ore was first extracted in open-cast mining and later via tunnels and shafts. Further processing took place in the ore works of Hausen im Wiesental , Kandern and Albbruck . In agriculture, grain cultivation dominated before viticulture. From 1790 to 1896 there was also a brick factory in Holzen .

The Fraunhofer Institute for Short Term Dynamics (EMI) located in Freiburg operates a branch in Holzen.
