Littenweiler is a district of Freiburg located in the south-east of the city on the Dreisam in the Dreisamtal . The reception building of the Freiburg-Littenweiler stop is 318 m above sea level .
history
The village of Littenweiler was first mentioned in the 11th century as "Lutenwile" in a document from the Einsiedeln monastery . It was a farming village east of the city of Freiburg, on the edge of the Black Forest where the Dreisamtal opens to the east to the Zartener basin. That miners must also have lived here who, like the residents of the neighboring village of Kappel, worked in the tunnels of the Schauinsland (also known as Erzkasten), can be concluded from the fact that the church is dedicated to St. Barbara , the patroness of miners . After changing ownership, the village was divided in 1560 and comprised two districts: one part belonged to the Lords of Sickingen and the other part of the Teutonic Order of Freiburg . In 1614 these local rulers signed a treaty that safeguarded mutual interests, e.g. B. regulated jurisdiction and taxes.
The character of the farming village at the gates of the city had not changed significantly in spite of the incorporation into Freiburg in 1914 until the middle of the 20th century, even if the modern world had arrived in 1887 with the Höllentalbahn and a train station and with the tram in 1925 . The strong population growth in Freiburg from the mid-1950s was also reflected in the development of this district (1950: 2,132 inh., 1961: 4,735 inh., 1970: 6,826 in.): Large building areas were developed, a new parish church was built ( the old church became a citizen's hall), as well as the evangelical resurrection church , the pedagogical college was built on the fields between the railway line and the old town center. The tranquil village with a few villas on the mountain slopes has become a large urban residential area, predominantly of the middle-class population, which has grown together with the neighboring districts of Waldsee , Ebnet and Kappel .
coat of arms
The coat of arms shows a white cross on a red background. There is a silver ball in each of the four fields formed. This is a combination of the coats of arms of the two long-time local lords, the Teutonic Order (cross) and the Counts of Sickingen (silver balls).
traffic
Traffic Technically is the district very well connected. The B 31 Ost, which mostly runs in a tunnel under Littenweiler, has reduced the traffic load and, at the same time, enables a fast connection to the city center and the Black Forest with the exit on the eastern edge of the city. The main connection to the city center is Hansjakobstraße, which is also used by the tram. In addition, the Höllentalbahn runs every half hour to the Freiburg-Littenweiler stop , which , coming from the main station , crosses the entire Höllental to Titisee - Neustadt and is the most important public transport for commuters, holidaymakers and winter sports enthusiasts in the region. Littenweiler is also connected to the local public transport network through the terminus of line 1 of the Freiburg tram , the busiest line of the Freiburger Verkehrs AG . From the end of the tram, bus lines run to the Ebnet and Kappel districts.
Infrastructure
Especially with the newly built “ZO” shopping center (Zentrum Oberwiehre) there are numerous shopping opportunities for the citizens of Littenweiler. Although it is outside Littenweiler, in the nearby Oberwiehre district , it is very easy to reach via Hansjakobstrasse and tram line 1. In Littenweiler itself there are comparatively few shops, only in the area of the tram terminus “Lassbergstraße” on the border to the neighboring district of Waldsee there is a small center. The actual town center around the former church, today the Bürgersaal, the former town hall and the school house of the Reinhold Schneider School is largely free of through traffic.
In the district there is the Catholic St. Barbara Church, a new building from the 1960s, located next to the old church in the town center, which is now used as a citizens' hall, and the Protestant Church of the Resurrection, a modern concrete building with a characteristic two-pane bell " Tower".
The St. Antonius nursing home in Freiburg-Littenweiler in the “Stahlbad” Freiburg was looked after by the Gengenbach Franciscan Sisters until it was taken over by the Freiburg sponsor “Marienhaus St. Johann eV” in the 2010s. It is an inpatient care facility in a former spa and bath house that was built around 1844 at the outlet of a mineral healing spring . This is a listed building. Planned extensions should enable modern maintenance.
A small local cemetery of its own, which is rarely used today, indicates the history of the district as a once independent village. In the 1960s, the new Bergäcker cemetery was created on a site south of the Höllentalbahn in the south-west of the district , and is available for burials from all over the city. In 2007 part of it was divided as a pet cemetery .
Littenweiler also has one of Freiburg's three recycling yards , where citizens can dispose of all kinds of waste.
education
- The Freiburg University of Education , which emerged in 1962 from the teacher training academies I and II, trains teachers at elementary, secondary and secondary schools and also offers a course for qualified teachers.

- The Reinhold Schneider School ( elementary and secondary school ) had to be expanded significantly in the 1960s due to the strong population growth. It is named after the writer Reinhold Schneider , who lived in Freiburg for many years.
- The language college for foreign students sponsored by the Archdiocese of Freiburg enables students from other language areas to learn the German language.
