Hoyren
Hoyren is a district of the large district town of Lindau (Lake Constance) in the district of the same name in the Bavarian administrative district of Swabia .
geography
Hoyren lies at the foot of the Hoyerberg, an Ice Age moraine hill that rises about 70 meters above the level of Lake Constance.
The district is located between the Lindau districts of Schachen in the south and Schönau in the north, which belonged to the former municipality of Hoyren (until 1922) and still belong to the current district of Hoyren.
In the east and south-east are the districts of Hochbuch and Aeschach (former municipality and current district of Aeschach). In the west, Hoyren borders the municipality of Bodolz .
description
The Lindau hospital, the Lindau-Kempten railway line, the old route of the B 31 as well as a petrol station, a car wash, a tire service and a small car workshop can be found in the Hoyren area . The Lindau city bus stops at three stops in this district, with one stop being served by two lines. The basic supply of the population is only partially served with a bakery branch (sales point of a bakery in Isny) and the direct sale of fruit and vegetables by farms, but this is compensated for by offers in neighboring districts, in particular by Aeschach .
The majority of the development, however, is residential development with mostly two floors, which is loosened up by many green areas, hedges and especially orchards.
The excavation of gravel north of the old B31 between Hoyerbergstrasse and Schönauer Strasse in the form of a flat, partly damp boiler has left traces of the past, while a formerly existing radio factory, which was built on the site of today's small football field on Hoyerbergstrasse, has literally disappeared without a trace. Next to the sports field is the gym of the TV Hoyren Aeschach eV on one side, on the other side, on the corner of Schönauer Strasse, is the fire station west of the Lindau fire brigade , consisting of several old and new garages, a historic hose tower and common rooms; the square in front of it is named after the former mayor of Lindau, Paula Seberich (the first woman in this office in 1990). Diagonally opposite, at the intersection of Schönauer Strasse, Hoyerbergstrasse and Tobelstrasse, stands the so-called village fountain, which is lavishly decorated at Easter by volunteers from TV Hoyren Aeschach in the manner of a Franconian Easter fountain. Paula Seberich brought this custom to Lindau. Behind the fountain is the former Gasthaus Sonne , which today houses a physiotherapy practice, but is otherwise only used for residential purposes. In this area, the place is partly hidden underground and traversed by two water veins, the Wolfsbach and the Tobelbach, which is initially visible in the landscape for the first time in a 10 meter deep, steep incision.
Origin of name
The name derivation is controversial. Old high German ( hohun rain = higher, not wooded area or horwin au = swampy lowland) and late Latin ( horrei = shed, store, storeroom) roots are discussed . The remains of Roman settlements in the neighboring Aeschach , as well as the assumption that there was no road connection to Bregenz at that time due to the difficult topographical conditions on the shores of Lake Constance , could support the second assumption somewhat.
history
The name Hoyren was first mentioned in a document in 1275/78 .
In 1818 the city of Lindau lost its land and Hoyren became an independent municipality . On February 1, 1922, the community of Hoyren was reintegrated to Lindau.
Culture and sights
With the Hoyerberg as a landmark, the place has a very distinctive profile in the landscape. It continues to serve as an elevated storage tank for the city of Lindau's drinking water supply .
The Hoyerberg itself is a very good vantage point of the Lindau Island, Lake Constance and the Alps. That is why it has always served painters as a popular workplace in the past and is now popular with both amateur and professional photographers. Today there is a webcam on the Hoyerberg-Schlössle (see below).
The sunny slopes of Mount Hoyer have been built especially in the modern era with corresponding villas, whereas before the era of phylloxera especially with wine were planted of which a historical Torkel on the lower slopes of the hill testifies. Today the remaining green areas are partly privately owned and designed like a park, pure cow pastures or planted with fruit trees.
Hoyerberg-Schlössle or Gruber-Schlösschen
The so-called "Gruberschlösschen" is a villa on the summit of the Hoyerberg. After Adolf Gruber inherited the Lindenhof estate from his brother in 1850, he acquired the vineyard - the eastern part of the Hoyerberg. Dora Gruber had a villa built on this lookout point by the architect Christoph Kunkler from St. Gallen in 1854. The house has similarities with the Schweizerhaus in Lindenhofpark and the almost 15 meter high freestanding observation tower was built in the Italian style with a flat roof and an open top floor.
On January 31, 1918, the Hoyerberg and the little castle were sold by the Gruber family to the municipality of Hoyren; today it is owned by the town of Lindau. Until the end of 2012 there was a gourmet restaurant in the castle.
Bismarck monument
On the south side in the lower third of the Hoyerberg there is a monument to Otto von Bismarck that can be seen from afar - a golden eagle figure about ten meters high. Originally, in 1910, patriotically-minded Lindau citizens planned a memorial on the top of the Hoyerberg, whereupon Hoyern received a piece of land on the south-eastern flank of the hill from the Gruber family and had the memorial with a large Bismarck relief erected in the base of the platform there .
Radio and mobile radio transmitters
On the front half of the summit plateau is the Hoyerberg radio and mobile radio station, which can be seen from afar .
