geography
location
The municipality of Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen is located on the Rhine plain around twelve kilometers north of the center of Karlsruhe and borders on its Neureut district . Linkenheim-Hochstetten is in the north . These localities are located together on a cleared area, which is bordered on two sides by topographical barriers: To the east the Hardtwald , beyond the forest area lies the town of Stutensee . In the west of the Rhine , opposite is the municipality of Leimersheim ( district of Germersheim in Rhineland-Palatinate ). In the east the community is connected to the federal highway 36 .
There are several old Rhine waters in the municipality of Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen , including: Altrhein (Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen) (near Eggenstein and Leopoldshafen), Altrhein near Eggenstein and Eggensteiner Altrhein (near Eggenstein and Leopoldshafen). In the Rheinaue run the Alb Canal , which was remodeled naturally from 2009 , as well as other bodies of water such as the Schlute Sandwiesenschlag or the Rhine tributary Langes Loch .

history
Eggenstein
The community of Eggenstein is first mentioned in a document in the Lorsch Codex from June 13, 766 as "villa hecinstein". The actual founding of the settlement is likely to have taken place earlier, in the Alemannic or Frankish times . The name "Hecinstein" or later "Eckenstein" means something like "tip" and "stone" and could indicate the existence of a prehistoric cult site on today's Kirchberg. In the Middle Ages , the place had one of the earliest parishes in the vicinity.
A first mention of the parish Eggenstein dates from the year 1160. Eggenstein belonged to the diocese of Speyer at that time . In 1239 Eggenstein was ecclesiastically subordinate to the Gottesaue Monastery, founded in 1110 . The monastery had possessions and a tithe farm in town. In 1556 Eggenstein became Protestant in the course of the Reformation .
1689–1693 the place was almost completely devastated in the Palatinate War of Succession . In the 18th century new forms of business emerged alongside agriculture, fishing and handicraft. At that time there was an important horse breeding company in the village . Other trades were peat mining , gold panning and the brick and tile trade. In the 18th century, Eggenstein was also often the camp and quarters of war troops marching through. Areas on the left bank of the Rhine were lost in 1802 as a result of the Peace of Lunéville .
A breakthrough carried out at Eggenstein as part of the straightening of the Rhine by Colonel Johann Gottfried Tulla in 1818 was celebrated in the village. In 1869/1870 a station building was erected during the construction of the Rhine Valley Railway . In 1925/1926 the community built a community-wide water supply system. In 1939, due to the border location with France, numerous bunkers were built on the west wall .
After the Second World War , numerous expellees found a new home in Eggenstein . In the 1960s, an industrial park was designated in the Tiefgestade. Numerous nurseries and flourishing floriculture give Eggenstein the reputation of a “gardener's village”. The settlement area experienced an enormous expansion through new building areas.
Leopoldshafen
The first documentary mention of Leopoldshafen or Schröck dates from July 1, 1160 . At that time, Bishop Günther von Speyer confirmed the transfer of ownership of the court there to the Maulbronn Monastery . The earliest spelling "Schrâg" later developed into the spelling "Schreck", "Schroeckh", "Schröck". The name is still a mystery today, it means something like to be frightened, startled, jump, hop or collar. This could have referred to the striking and conspicuously pointed Gestadesporn , on which Schröck was once built and which protruded into the Rhine . In response to a request from the trading community and the residents to the then Grand Duke Leopold of Baden , the village was officially renamed "Leopoldshafen" on June 4, 1833 .
With the transfer of ownership of the Schröck farm to the Maulbronn monastery in the 12th century, it became a grangie , a managed monastery courtyard. As early as the 14th century, Schröck had a customs post and a ferry due to its favorable location on the Rhine . First mentions come from the years 1382 (customs post) and 1390 (ferry). In 1556 Schröck became Protestant . There was a harbor here as early as 1750 after private individuals had built a warehouse with cranes to promote trade. In 1762 Schröck became an independent municipality. In 1765 a stately saltpeter factory and in 1789 a crystal glass factory were established in the old cloister courtyard. In 1768/1769 the place received a grand ducal post office . In 1812 the port basin was moved to its current location and in 1818 a new warehouse with cranes was put into operation at the port. In 1831 regular shipping was established from Schröck to Mainz . Constant silting up of the port basin and unfavorable developments in important location factors (1862 construction of the Maxau port , 1869/1870 construction of the railway network initially without the Leopoldshafen stop, 1901 construction of the Rhine port in Karlsruhe ) ultimately led to the complete decline of shipping operations. After the Second World War, with the establishment of the Karlsruhe Research Center (today Karlsruhe Institute of Technology , KIT), a renewed economic upswing began in 1956 and led to the explosive growth of the construction areas.
Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen
In the course of community reform in Baden-Württemberg in the early 1970s, Eggenstein and Leopoldshafen merged on December 1, 1974 to form a unified community. In order to take account of both districts and because there was a lack of credible alternatives, the new community name "Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen" was determined.
Important recent infrastructural events were the construction of the federal highway 36 outside the locality in 1978 and the connection to the Karlsruhe light rail network (“ Hardtbahn ”) in 1986 .
Religions
With the Evangelical Parish of Eggenstein and the Evangelical Parish of Leopoldshafen, both districts have their own Protestant parish. The Catholic parish of St. Antonius / St. Albertus Magnus covers the entire community and has been part of the pastoral care unit Karlsruhe-Hardt since 2004 . There is also a meeting house of the Liebenzeller community association in the Eggenstein district .
Aid organizations
Numerous guards from aid organizations and ambulance services are stationed in the municipality of Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, such as the German Red Cross Eggenstein, the German Red Cross Leopoldshafen and the German Life Saving Society (DLRG) Nordhardt as well as the Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen volunteer fire department with the Eggenstein departments and Leopoldshafen and the Hardt police station at Leopoldstrasse 101. The Leopoldshafen Department of the Voluntary Fire Brigade has its fire station at Blumenstrasse 54 and can be reached at times on 07247 21112. It has a TLF 16/25, LF 8, SW 2000, two WLF, a KdoW and an ELW 1 (from the end of 2010). In addition to the vehicles, there is a LiMA, several ABs such as B. AB-U, AB-EL, AB platform with crane. Martin Lang is the department commander of the Leopoldshafen fire brigade.

coat of arms
Eggenstein
Since the mid-16th century as a village seal of the Holy Veit is in the boiler. The oldest verifiable seal imprint dates from 1562. The seal image with the former local saint and patron saint of the community was in use until the 17th century. There is no evidence of a village seal for the 18th century. The new village seal with horseshoes under a garland of leaves in the Empire style dates from 1807 . In the early 20th century, the color was determined: "a golden horseshoe in red". The colors are reminiscent of Eggenstein's early affiliation to the domain of the Margraves of Baden .
Leopoldshafen
In historical times, Leopoldshafen did not have its own village seal. Legal Affairs were performed with the court seal of Eggenstein or the seal of the bailiff of Mühlburg authenticated. The first reference to Schröcker's own seal is found in 1811. It shows a horseshoe surrounded by palm branches, later a crown was added. In 1895 a new coat of arms was established for Leopoldshafen in recognition of its historical importance as a port: it shows the ship and the helmsman. In 1966 the color scheme was determined and the official description reads: "In silver on blue water, a black sailing ship with a blue sail and red pennant, in the stern a man dressed in red with a red hat and a black oar".
Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen
Blazon : "In a split shield in front in gold (yellow) a red horseshoe, behind in blue a silver (white) atomic model."
In the course of the merger of the municipalities, a new coat of arms was introduced. Each half of the coat of arms represents a district. The left (heraldic: front) part is the inverted Eggenstein coat of arms. The right (heraldic: rear) part of the coat of arms shows a model of the atom, i.e. H. an atomic nucleus that is orbited by three electrons . This part of the coat of arms goes back to the Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Center founded in 1956 near Leopoldshafen (today Campus North of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology ).
Community partnerships
The municipality maintains a partnership with the municipality of Höflein in Austria . Shortly after the political change in the GDR , a sponsorship with Obhausen in the then Merseburg-Querfurt district was concluded.
Economy and Infrastructure
The most important economic factor for Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen is the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), founded there in 1956 under the name Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe (KfK ), which is why the community is currently the most important destination for commuters for people living in Karlsruhe. The European Institute for Transuranium Elements (ITU), which is a legally independent institution of the European Union, is also located on the premises of the KIT . The Karlsruhe reprocessing plant (WAK), which was formerly part of the KIT, has now been incorporated into the federally owned Energiewerke Nord GmbH. The Kerntechnischer Hilfsdienst (KHG), based near the north campus of the KIT, is a company that serves to eliminate incidents and the consequences of accidents in nuclear facilities. The shares in KHG are mainly held by nuclear power plant operators and research institutions operating in Germany.
In addition, the municipality has had a balanced municipal budget for years and is one of the debt-free municipalities in the region. Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen as part of the Karlsruhe district has one of the lowest unemployment rates in Baden-Württemberg with an unemployment rate of around 2.6%.
traffic
The municipality is located on the federal highway 36 running in north-south direction between Mannheim and Rastatt and can also be reached with the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn line S 1 / S 11, which runs on the Hardtbahn . There are country roads to the east and there is only one connection to the west with the Rhine ferry between Leopoldshafen and Leimersheim .
Educational institutions
In the community there is the Eggenstein Community School , the "Lindenschule" (Eggenstein Elementary School) and the Leopoldshafen Elementary School. Furthermore, there are five kindergartens in the Eggenstein district (“Spielkiste”, “Malkasten”, “Märchenwald”, “Regenbogenexpress” and “Schatzkiste”) and two church kindergartens (“Kita Rheinpiraten” and “Albertus-Magnus”) in the Leopoldshafen district "). KIT's North Campus has its own day-care center for employees (“nanos!”).
The adult education center in Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen is a public institution for continuing education. As a branch office, it is under the legal sponsorship of the non-profit association adult education center in the Karlsruhe district . In accordance with its statutory mandate, it also devotes itself to youth education in addition to adult education.
Viermorgen III
The new development area Viermorgen III has existed in the community since spring 2006. It arises directly on the Pfinzentlastungskanal and is bordered by the Hardtwald, the Donauring and the L 559. The streets are named after famous European cities. Partial and full suppliers are planned to supply the new development area. This should contribute to the relaxation of the supply situation, not least for the residents of the neighboring senior citizens' homes. Terraced houses, semi-detached houses and the expansion of the so-called "large playground" are planned.
Culture and sights
Museums
The local history museum is located in the Leopoldshafen district. The museum building, erected in 1721 as a town hall, school and prayer room, is a listed building . An apartment from around 1900 has been reconstructed on the ground floor. On the upper floor, showcases and exhibits provide information about the history of the community. In the attic, all sorts of utensils related to agriculture and trade in historical times are exhibited.
Buildings
The Evangelical Parish Church of St. Vitus and Modestus Eggenstein is the oldest building in the community and at the same time marks the oldest settlement point in Eggenstein. The oldest parts of the church ( Gothic choir and tower) that are still preserved today date from around 1500. The central nave was completely demolished around 1780 and adapted to the needs of the time. During renovation work inside the church in 2004, even older remains of the wall were discovered in the area of the tower. At the end of the 19th century, medieval frescoes were rediscovered in the choir , showing the “Adoration of the Magi” on the north wall and motifs of the legend of Vitus (Veit) on the south wall . The frescoes were when they were found in z. Partly in poor condition and were renovated in a historical style at the end of the 19th century. The church is normally not open to the public.
It is also quite unique that under the legs of the overhead line pylon number 66 of the 7520 facility (380 kV line Daxlanden-Philippsburg) at 49 ° 4'22 "N 8 ° 22'9" E there is a paved farm road.
