Madenfelderhof colony

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Madenfelderhof colony is a rental house colony for miners in Schiffweiler in Saarland .

history

The colony was established between 1920 and 1922 by the French company Mines domaniales françaises de la Sarre . It consists of 40 semi-detached houses for 80 families. The houses each have a 760 m² plot of land on which a pear tree was growing at the time of construction. All but two houses have a cellar.

The French mine administration has settled families from the northern Saarland and the Hunsrück as miners in the first generation . Hardly any descendants of the miners' families now live there.

The settlement was placed under monument protection. The name of the settlement comes from a rural property that had been state-owned since 1901.
