Löbstedt is a former municipality in Thuringia and today's district of the independent city of Jena .

Location and geography

Löbstedt is about 3 kilometers north of the city center and west of the Saale . The historic municipal area, the district of Löbstedt, runs from the Saale as the eastern border over about 3 kilometers to the west to the foothills of the Windknollens at about 330 meters above sea level. Its greatest north-south extension is only about 1.4 kilometers, its area originally 262.4, later 264.2 hectares. The northern boundary of the district is mainly formed by the streets Flurweg and Am Heiligenberg as well as the Steinbach , while the southern boundary runs roughly along the streets Unterm Schützenhof , Lützener Straße and Schwarzaweg .

After the spin-off of the North II district in 2006, the Löbstedt district, in addition to the old village center and an area up to the Saale, essentially consists of an elongated strip of land between the Rautal road and the historical boundary to the north of it. Its cadastral area is only 56 hectares.

The districts bordering on Löbstedt are Zwätze in the north, Kunitz in the east and Jena-Nord in the south and west. To the west of Löbstedt lies the Rautal , which is known for its large occurrence of winterlings . The “Glatthaferwiesen Löbstedt” FFH area and the 10 hectare area of ​​the Jena experiment , a long-term project to research biodiversity, are located in the Löbstedter Saale floodplain .

traffic

The federal highway 88 and the Großheringen – Saalfeld railway line affect the district. The closest train station is Jena-Zwätze in the neighboring district of the same name. With the opening of the tram Jena in 1901 Löbstedt was connected to the former mainline Zwätzen -Schubertsburg. The two stops Naumburger Straße and Löbstedt , which are served by tram lines 1 and 4, are located in the district today. Building rights have been in place since November 2017 for the extension of the tram route from Zwätze to Himmelreich and thus also for the double-track expansion of the currently single-track section in Löbstedt. The construction work for this began on September 26, 2018.

history

The village of Löbstedt was first mentioned in a document in 1218.

In 1536 beer was still compulsory, i.e. H. Beer was only allowed to be served in an area limited by the municipality (“beer mile”) in order to eliminate unpleasant competition and to prevent the import of beers produced abroad. The innkeepers were only allowed to serve local beer. The rule and monastery breweries exercised the beer compulsion in the country. These municipal and city regulations, if they still exist, fell towards the end of the 18th century. At that time, 200 citizens from Jena came to Löbstedt on a Whit Monday to steal the beer kegs from the local residents.

Between the incorporation of Löbstedt in 1922 and the Second World War, two small residential areas (Stifterstraße / Unterer Sachseneckweg and Paul-Weber-Straße) and extensive barracks east of Naumburger Straße were built on Löbstedter Flur. From 1960 to 1968 the previously agriculturally used areas between Naumburger Straße, Rödigenweg and Rautal were built on with the large residential area North II ; Among other things, around 2000 apartments were built. This construction activity led to the fact that the district of Löbstedt had over 5,000 inhabitants after it was founded in the historical district limits according to the city council resolution of May 6, 1992. With effect from December 31, 2002, the area west of Naumburger Strasse and south of Rautal road , with the exception of the area east of Erich-Kuithan-Strasse, was separated from the old town center of Löbstedt as a separate statistical district North II (209 hectares, 5091 inhabitants) and in 2006 it was added to the newly founded district of Jena-Nord ; the earlier affiliation to Löbstedt is still recognizable by the number of the district (070: Löbstedt old, 071: Löbstedt new, 072: Nord II). This created the district of Löbstedt within its current boundaries.

In 1998 the Löbstedter brewery was demolished. Today there is a playground for children in this place. A plaque commemorates the only brewery in Löbstedter.

District council and district mayor

Since September 22nd, 2002, the district of Jena-Löbstedt has had a district mayor and district councilor (until 2003 referred to as local mayor and local councilor) who takes care of cultural issues and the maintenance of customs in the district. The first district mayor (then mayor) was Gerhard Seifert, followed by Karsten Seyfarth from 2004 to 2019. Since the local elections on May 26, 2019, Carola Döpel has been the district mayor of Löbstedt.

Urban facilities

Löbstedt has two kindergartens, the primary school Am Rautal and a nursing home run by the Arbeiterwohlfahrt (senior citizen center on Heiligenberg) with 86 places. The Carl-Zeiss-Gymnasium is located directly on the district boundary, but outside the district .

economy

The largest company in the district is the Kaufland store on Erich-Kuithan-Strasse, which was built on the area of ​​the Milchhof built between 1954 and 1956 (closed after 1990) and because of its convenient location (within walking distance of the surrounding residential areas, tram stop in front of the market) ) is highly frequented. In Löbstedt there is also a part of Veolia Umweltservice and some craft businesses.
