Mändlfeld is a village in the Donaumoos and a district of the municipality of Karlskron in the Upper Bavarian district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen .

location

The originally independent municipality of Mändlfeld is located in the northern area of ​​the so-called Lower Donaumoos in the Ingolstadt planning region . It is not far from the natural overflow of the former marshland in the east of the moor, the Brautlach near Oberstimm . Away from the main traffic routes and highways, the place is embedded between the Moosgraben and the Miltärkanal in the flat agricultural land of the Moos, northeast of Karlskron. Immediately at the development boundary in the north, the place touches the city limits of the independent city ​​of Ingolstadt and in the east the area borders on the district boundary of the Pfaffenhofen district

history

Until 1790, the local area of ​​Mändlfeld was untouched moorland in the undeveloped and inaccessible largest low moor in southern Germany, the Donaumoos. In the years that followed, the new ruler, Elector Karl Theodor , from Mannheim, had the Donaumoos drained and cultivated into arable land.

The Donaumoos Commission appointed by the Elector in 1789 , consisting of Stephan Freiherr von Stengel , Johann Georg von Aretin and Adrian von Riedl , had drainage and cultivation measures carried out on the lower moss in rapid succession from 1890 onwards.

This began with the construction of the Donaumoos main canal, the construction of the Donaumoosstrasse from Reichertshofen to Lichtenau and a north-south axis as a direct connection through the moss of old Bavaria in the Palatinate-Neuburg area, the road from Pobenhausen to Lichtenau. In the course of this development, the construction of a model settlement in the middle of the Lower Moos was tackled, today's Karlskron, in order to attract smallholders willing to settle for moss colonization.

Mändlfeld was created during the moss colonization in the early 19th century and was originally created as a typical moss colony for the settlement of small farmers . All properties stood in a row, along a canal or a street and were designed and built as colonist houses .

The envisaged by the commission moss and then reacted concept of settlement of small farmers as pawns was at that time when even the feudal system prevailed, almost revolutionary . Each colonist should be the sole owner of his property and determine and decide his management and actions on his farm himself. He should not be subservient to any landlord and dependent on him and should no longer have an obligation to cleave, but should be able to increase and use his property as he sees fit. He should also be able to sell it and leave it whenever he likes. Taxes and repayments for the land and buildings made available should be payable solely to the state, according to uniform rules.

Such a liberalization of the prevailing property relations naturally encountered bitter resistance from the estates , who up to now and still have ruled in other areas and viewed the smallholders as their personal property. Since the commission was striving for the moss colonies to flourish quickly and profitably, they saw the settlement of small but independent freelance farmers as the much more promising concept. For this reason, the colonies quickly found buyers and new settlers willing to settle for their farms. Buyers who took over land and buildings on long-term loans directly from the state, but were driven by the prospect of being their own landlord and being able to operate independently after the loans to the state had been paid off.

Mändlfeld did not seem to exist in 1804, because there were no buildings in the area of ​​the later settlement on Adrian von Riedl's map, although Brautlach and Deubling are already clearly recorded on this map . However, already in a dating from the 1808 tax register with generated income generated Mändlfeld is a patio set and it includes already 14 houses with 15 families with 18 day's work field and 26 Tagwerk meadows.

Mändlfeld was parish at the time of its establishment in Oberstimm.

Mändlfeld was originally laid out along the Riedelstraße running along the Moosgraben, the canal road leading to and alongside the Miltärkanal, both in an east-west direction; the north-south direction across the two and these connecting Kramerstraße and the Wirtsweg running parallel to Riedelstraße on the other bank of the Mooskanal.

Due to the proximity to Ingolstadt, the place became noticeably more attractive as a living and sleeping village for more and more families who work in the city. Partly due to the almost complete disappearance of smallholder agriculture since the 1970s, the Moosgrund between Riedelststrasse and Kanalstrasse was gradually developed for residential development from the 1980s onwards, and contemporary residential buildings were built over the whole area. As a result, the original structure of the street village in Mändlfeld is barely recognizable and the place has now acquired the appearance of a modern housing estate.
