Kehlen ( 431 m above sea level ) is a district of the city of Dornbirn in Vorarlberg ( Austria ) , about 1.3 km as the crow flies from the city center . The district is located on the eastern edge of the settlement of the city of Dornbirn.
Origin of name
The term throat is basically to be understood as a deepening. Kehlen is derived from an artificial watercourse and originally had the addition of local identification: “Erlach” to differentiate this channel from other similar ones. In the grammatical-critical dictionary of the High German dialect, Johann Christoph Adelung mentions throats (quehle) as a “ word commonly used in mining, where it means a channel for draining water in the stops ”.
history
"Erlach's throats" is mentioned in a 1393 Dornbirn document. Kehlen as a settlement was said to have arisen from the first resettlement for the Niederdorf (district of Dornbirn Markt), which was squeezed into the fields. In 1768 there were 19 houses in Kehlen.
In the “ Provinzial-Handbuch von Tirol und Vorarlberg for the year 1847 ” and in the “ Schematismus für Tirol und Vorarlberg ” Kehlen is listed as a separate village and part of the Dornbirn-Markt district .
Topography, geography, location and traffic
About throats the old road from Hohenems led since time immemorial by hazel (about Haslach , Mühlebach , Achmühle, Oberdorf , Steinebach and throats - Roman Road), This compound was partially rockfall (see Breitenberg ).
The Kehlen settlement is relatively flat in the Dornbirn municipality and is bordered to the east by the Fallenberg . To the north and north-east of the Gerbergraben and to the south-west of the Fischbach . To the south, Schmalenegg is separated from Kehlen by the Kehlenbach.
Craft, trade
In 1585, according to a princely account book in Dornbirn in der Kehlen, water-powered mills were in use.
Due to the traffic situation and the originally important function of Kehlerstrasse, several regionally important craft and commercial enterprises were established in Kehlen. Nevertheless, agriculture also had a dominant role for a long time, as can still be read from numerous field names and street names (Kehlermähder, Kehlerweid, Mähdergasse). In and around Schmalenegg there was a little bit of viticulture (see: “Rebstockweg”).
religion
The parcel of Kehlen is ecclesiastically part of the parish of St. Martin City Parish Church of St. Martin . See main article: Chapel throats .
Specialty
Diagonally opposite the chapel is the Russenbrunnen (also Franzosenbrunnen or Kehler Brunnen ) which reminds of the chaos of war in the Helvetic Republic in 1798/99. It is fed by the water from Unterfallenberg. This water was partially considered to be medicinal (see Oberfallenberg Chapel, dedicated to St. Ottilie , who is venerated as the patron saint of Alsace and the eyesight ).
There was Bad Kehlen in Kehlen, near the Russenbrunnen (now Furnierwerk Mäser, Kehlerstrasse 81, opposite the old smithy), which in 1825 also received a beer brewing license from Rochus Hefel. The bath had a sulfur spring with a very low mineral content. Born in Dornbirn-Kehlen, surgeon Michael Lecher (1802-1853) was the owner of the bath and bath doctor here from 1840 to 1845, together with his wife Maria Barbara Greuss (from 1846 at the Andelsbuch steel baths ). Bad Kehlen was first mentioned in 1820 and was no longer used in 1859 at the latest.
In the vicinity of the chapel there is an old cavern that was used to store ice obtained in winter for the Dornbirn breweries, as there were no cooling units in the past (so-called ice cellars ).
