Antiquity

Ladenburg describes itself as the oldest city in Germany on the right of the Rhine. The place was first settled sometime between 3000 and 200 BC. BC Ladenburg initially existed as a Celtic settlement Lokudunom (= "Seeburg"). 200 BC The Celtic center of the palate was moved from Heiligenberg near Heidelberg to Ladenburg. In the year 40, the Suebian Elbe Germans were settled by the Romans as peasant militia. In the Roman sources they are called Suebi Nicrenses ("Neckarsueben"). In 74 AD the Romans founded an auxiliary fort there with a camp village ( vicus ), the nucleus of the later city. An auxiliary equestrian division of the Cananefats belonged to the garrison .

In 98 Emperor Trajan made the settlement Lopodunum a civitas and the capital of the Civitas Ulpia Sueborum Nicrensium ; after the gentile name of the emperor - Ulpius - the place was nicknamed Ulpia . The settlement flourished in the second and early third centuries, as evidenced by numerous archaeological finds.

Around the year 220 the Roman city had a forum with a market basilica, a weekly market, temples , a Roman theater , thermal baths , palaces and a city wall. The public buildings were unusually large compared to other settlements in the region. The walled area was around 32 hectares, stray finds even show a settlement area of ​​around 45 hectares. This made Ladenburg the largest Roman city in what is now Baden-Württemberg , ahead of Rottweil , Rottenburg , Bad Cannstatt , Bad Wimpfen , Heidenheim and Heidelberg .

In the year 260 or shortly before apparently destroyed Alemanni the city after the imperial forces the Dekumatland had given up. However, some locals stayed and handed down the Roman place name. Emperor Valentinian I took the settlement again in 369 and had a Ländeburgus , a late antique port fortification, built, which could only be entered from the Neckar. Around the middle of the 5th century, probably in 454 after the collapse of the Huns , the Roman rule in the Ladenburg area finally ended.

Migration period and the Middle Ages

As early as 496, the Merovingians built a royal court in Ladenburg that has been handed down as a palatium . Lobdenburg became the capital of the Lobdengau . The Frankish king Dagobert I “gave away” the city and district to the diocese of Worms in 628 ; St. Amandus von Worms has been handed down as recipient . In 874 King Ludwig the German documented Lobetenburg. In Carolingian times, Ladenburg was one of the few cities in the empire that were designated as Civitas Publica , which implied the continued existence of the royal court . The first medieval city walls were built as early as the 10th century. King Heinrich II , the saint, confirmed to the Bishop of Worms in 1006 all possessions of the cathedral monastery of Ladenburg and five years later he gave the bishop the county of Lobdengau.

In 1253 the community appeared for the first time with the mayor , aldermen and citizens. In 1385 rule over Ladenburg was divided after a bloody feud between Worms and Palatinate .

In 1400 the citizens of Worms refused to obey their bishop and drove him out, whereupon this Ladenburg became a bishopric. Bishop Johann II von Fleckenstein had the south tower built on the St. Gallus Church in 1412 , "because, as bishop, he is entitled to two towers", thus a cathedral . Under Bishop Johann III. von Dalberg (1455–1503) Ladenburg had its greatest heyday. In 1512, on the threshold of modern times, his friend Emperor Maximilian visited the city.

Modern times

The later reformer Reuchlin headed the book collection taken over from the Lorsch Monastery and supplemented with Dalberg's holdings and known today as the Bibliotheca Palatina . In 1564 there was a fight on Christmas Eve between the Reformed pastor Eckard and Bishop Bettendorf in St. Gallus. In the following year, Bettendorf reconciled with the Worms and left Ladenburg, the secondary residence remained. Thereupon the Calvinist Elector of the Palatinate had the St. Gallus Church plundered on Good Friday and destroyed Catholic images ( Kurpfälzer iconoclasm ).

During the Thirty Years' War the city was partially destroyed by Peter Ernst II von Mansfeld in 1622 and plundered by General Mélac in the Palatinate War of Succession (1689–1693) . In 1705 the brothers Elector Johann Wilhelm and Bishop Franz Ludwig von Pfalz-Neuburg agreed on a larger area of ​​land exchange. Ladenburg including Neckarhausen fell completely to the Electoral Palatinate, which set up a Oberamt Ladenburg with the city as its seat.

After the French Revolution , Ladenburg was occupied in the coalition wars in 1799 and Napoléon Bonaparte rearranged the political map in Europe. The Electoral Palatinate was dissolved and the city fell to Baden . It remained the official seat until 1863 and was then incorporated into the Mannheim District Office . When the Baden Revolution was suppressed in 1849, the Neckar Bridge in Ladenburg was fiercely contested. The revolutionaries succeeded in conquering the city occupied by the Prussians and thus covering the retreat of the main forces.

Politically, the Social Democrats had been the strongest force in Ladenburg since 1903 . In the Weimar Republic they were temporarily outstripped by the center because of the fragmentation of the left-wing party spectrum. From 1930 the NSDAP was the strongest party, receiving 34.2 percent of the vote in the Reichstag election in March 1933 .

Jewish families had lived in Ladenburg since the 13th century and built a synagogue on the property at Metzgergasse 5. A new Jewish church, a mikveh and a school were built on the same site in 1832 . During the November pogrom in 1938 , these buildings were desecrated and partially destroyed by SA men , as indicated by a memorial plaque in Hauptstrasse 46. In 1938 the last burial took place in the Jewish cemetery .

During the Second World War , Ladenburg was largely spared from destruction. On March 28, 1945, the 1st Battalion of the 324th US Infantry Regiment captured the city without a fight.

When the Mannheim district was dissolved , Ladenburg became part of the new Rhein-Neckar district in 1973 . The Old Town Festival took place for the first time in 1974 and has since become a magnet for visitors. In 1979 the city received the gold plaque from Federal President Walter Scheel in the federal competition "City Design and Monument Protection in Urban Development". In 1998 the city celebrated its 1900th anniversary. In the same year she hosted the Heimattage Baden-Württemberg . In 2005, the green project 2005 took place in Ladenburg , also known as the small state garden show .

coat of arms

The blazon of the coat of arms reads: In a shield diagonally divided by silver and blue, a red castle with an open gate and raised silver portcullis in the tinned and roofed lower middle part, between the two pointed outer tin towers two diagonally crossed blue keys (beards facing up).

It goes back to a seal from 1253. The colors silver and blue, which were only established in the 19th century, stand for the Electoral Palatinate. The crossed keys come from the coat of arms of the diocese of Worms. The castle is probably to be seen as a city gate and thus refers to the city rights.

The flag is blue and white.

Museums

Lobdengau Museum

Lobdengau Museum

The Lobdengau Museum is located in the Bischofshof (with open-air museum) and focuses on: archeology, town history and folk culture.

In front of the museum is a copy of a giant Jupiter column , the original of which is in the museum. The four most important Roman deities are depicted on the base:

The four women's heads above represent the four seasons, the youngest for spring, and the woman with the headscarf for winter.

At the top, the father of the gods rides a giant , a sign of the Roman victory over the barbarians.

When the Alamanni invaded Ladenburg around the year 220, they overturned this column. The Roman Novanius Augustus had it renovated and put it back up. When the Alemanni returned 40 years later, they broke the pillar and threw it into a well. As a result, it was preserved and was discovered while building a new house.

Buildings

Historic old town with market square and Marienbrunnen

  • Market square from the height of St. Gallus

  • Market square with statue of the Virgin Mary

  • Marian column on the market square

  • Neunhellerhaus on the market square

The market square is the center of the historic old town, which is of supraregional importance thanks to a unique collection of superbly restored monuments, including numerous half-timbered houses, especially from the 15th to 18th centuries. The oldest preserved parts of the churches date from the early 9th (tower of the Sebastian Chapel) or 11th century (crypt of the Gallus Church), the oldest secular building dates back in parts to the 13th century, as do the significant remains of the city fortifications the Martinstor.

Already in the 19th century there was a baroque Marian column on the market square. The pastor and part of his congregation favored a crucifixion group against the opposition of the majority . One night in 1873 the Madonna was overthrown from its pedestal by anonymous perpetrators. The debris was buried on the cemetery wall. Still, there was never a crucifixion group. The foundation of the dentist widow and pianist Anna Hauber gave the city the idea of ​​beautifying the market square with a monument again. After lengthy discussions, in 1976 the decision was finally made in favor of a Marienbrunnen based on the old model.

City fortifications

The remains of the medieval outer city wall, some of which still follow the Roman defensive wall , date from 1200. It includes the Hexenturm, Pfaffenturm and Martinstor (actually Wormser Tor) with an important group of sculptures (division of the coat of Saint Martin) from the 13th century on the land side.

St. Gallus Church

St. Gallus Church

The St. Gallus Church is one of the city's landmarks. The church, which was built between the 13th and 15th centuries, has an 11th century crypt . In front of the church there was the forum of the city of Lopodunum . At this point stood the second largest Roman market basilica north of the Alps with dimensions of 72 by 28 meters.

Town hall and cathedral courtyard

The front part of the town hall now stands on the site of the former cathedral courtyard. The cathedral courtyard was originally an aristocratic court and was owned by the Worms bishops since 1423/24. It burned down completely on Easter 1962.

In the square there are figures of the bishop and the elector arguing about the rights of the city, the elector is slightly amused, the bishop defending himself. It is alluded to the condominium from 1385 to 1705. Next to it there are figures of a Roman soldier who proclaims the town charter, and the working people in the shape of the water scoop, who holds his back against the authorities seated in the town hall.

Economy and Infrastructure

Neckar and Altwasser industrial area

Companies

Since 1941, Reckitt Benckiser has had a factory , RB Produktions GmbH (head office Heidelberg Bahnstadt) in Ladenburg, where, among other things, cleaning agents and disinfectants are manufactured. This plant closed at the end of July 2016.

The Altwasser industrial area is the location of the companies ICL (BK Giulini), Calvatis and Jungbunzlauer . These operate a joint plant fire brigade.

The neighbor is the factory of Saint-Gobain Isover G + H, the insulation materials v. a. made from mineral wool.

Furthermore, a manufacturer of fire extinguishers is represented in Ladenburg, the company Total .

The ABB Group operates the ABB Corporate Research Center Germany at the Wallstadter Strasse location. This central research center was located in Heidelberg until 2001.

In 2006 the integrated control center Rhein-Neckar was set up in Ladenburg. She is responsible for fire and rescue services in the Rhein-Neckar district. In addition, the rescue services in Heidelberg and Mannheim are coordinated from here. Because the fire brigade control centers in Heidelberg and Mannheim will remain in place until further notice, the control center only works as an integrated control center in the Rhein-Neckar district and can therefore not be reached directly from Heidelberg and Mannheim via the emergency number 112.

In addition, Ladenburg is the location of the technical relief organization with the specialist group water damage / pumps.

media

The Ladenburger Zeitung appears weekly. Two regional daily newspapers, the Mannheimer Morgen and the Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung , also provide information about events in Ladenburg in the local section.

Public facilities

In summer, many visitors from neighboring communities also come to the large, solar-heated Ladenburg outdoor pool, which is located near the Neckar ferry.

The municipal sports facilities are in the same area.

education

Dalberg School
Merian secondary school

Ladenburg is an important school location within the Mannheim-Heidelberg-Weinheim city triangle with a total of nine schools.

There are two primary schools in Ladenburg , the Dalberg primary school in the old town and the Astrid Lindgren school in the west town.

On the southern edge of the old town between Realschulstrasse and Merianweg is the Ladenburg school center with three secondary schools, the Werkrealschule Unterer Neckar, the Merian- Realschule and the Carl-Benz- Gymnasium . In addition, the Erich Kästner School (special educational and advisory center with a focus on learning) and the Martinsschule (special educational and advisory center with a focus on physical and motor development) are located in Ladenburg, and the new building was opened in 2010 on the eastern edge of the town. The municipal music school on Lustgartenstraße between Dalberg-Grundschule and Carl-Benz-Gymnasium as well as the adult education center in the old town hall on Hauptstraße complete the range of schools. For the youngest residents, there are three private, three Roman Catholic , one Protestant and one municipal kindergarten .

The supraregional Martinsschule is supported by the Rhein-Neckar district, the cities of Heidelberg and Mannheim, and the Südliche Bergstrasse district, so the students at this school come from a correspondingly large area.

From 1977 to 2003 Ladenburg was the location of the Max Planck Institute for Cell Biology .

traffic

A ferry connects Ladenburg with Edingen-Neckarhausen . This connection has existed since the Middle Ages and has been proven at least since 1483. A little further down the river, the Main-Neckar-Bahn railway bridge can also be used by cyclists and pedestrians to cross the Neckar. The red sandstone structure with several arches was built in 1848 and is part of the railway connection from Darmstadt via Weinheim to the Mannheim-Friedrichsfeld junction . The Ladenburg train station is just behind the north end of the bridge. At the industrial area in the west of Ladenburg, a road bridge of the L 542 leads over the Neckar Canal to the Ilvesheimer Insel. In the east of Ladenburg there is a connection to the federal autobahn 5 (exit Ladenburg-Schriesheim). The Ladenburg harbor is located in the west of Ladenburg.

After the dismantling, the Ladenburg train station still has three tracks; it is served by the local transport of the Deutsche Bahn. Three sidings lead from Ladenburg train station to the industrial areas (Total / ABB & Viessmann / Benckiser & Grünzweig and Hartmann), but they are currently not in use. Since mid-July 2018, the station has been completely barrier-free to 76 cm above the top edge of the rails and has two elevators, each leading to track 1 and track 2/3.
