Friedrichsfeld is a district of Mannheim , in the Rhine-Neckar triangle in Baden-Württemberg and also forms the Friedrichsfeld district .

geography

Friedrichsfeld and the Neu-Edingen district of the Edingen-Neckarhausen community form a closed settlement. The city limits can only be found through the town signs in the middle of the village. The southern settlement of Alteichwald also belongs to the city district.

Friedrichsfeld is located between Mannheim-Seckenheim and Neckarhausen in the north, Edingen and Heidelberg in the east, Schwetzingen in the south and Mannheim-Rheinau in the west, directly on the A 656 motorway and on two railway lines : the north-south connection on the Main-Neckar Railway between Ladenburg and Schwetzingen ( Neu-Edingen / Friedrichsfeld station ) and the west-east connection on the Mannheim – Basel line between Mannheim and Heidelberg ( Mannheim-Friedrichsfeld Süd stop ).

In the west towards Mannheim-Rheinau and south of the Alteichwaldsiedlung towards Schwetzingen, Friedrichsfeld borders on a larger contiguous forest area (Unterer Dossenwald, Bundeswald Hirschacker and Grenzhöfer Wald), which provides Mannheim with fresh air.

history

Friedrichsfeld 1900

Friedrichsfeld was founded in 1682 by Huguenots who had fled France for religious reasons . Like the Flemings and Walloons in the 16th century , they came to the Electoral Palatinate . Friedrichsfeld's first settlers all came from the area around the city of Sedan . The French history of the place and the history of the expulsion of Reformed people in general are still reminiscent of the street and square names in the town - as well as the Protestant church, which is named after Johannes Calvin , the reformer in French-speaking countries. The place name was chosen after Elector Friedrich the Victorious , who won the battle of Seckenheim around the current area .

Friedrichsfeld, which was ridiculed as "Neudorf" at the time, became famous, especially among railway workers, when the Main-Neckar Railway was planned in 1838 , which would connect Frankfurt am Main with Mannheim and Heidelberg . In Friedrichsfeld, in order to treat both cities equally, the connecting station between the Main-Neckar Railway and the Badischer Hauptbahn ( Mannheim – Basel line ) was built. Later in Friedrichsfeld the trains were divided according to the motto "Heidelberg vonne, Mannem hinne" and continued to the destination stations. The Mannheim Carnival reminds us to this day with the twisted exclamation "Mannem vonne!"

Due to the comparatively late founding of the place, Friedrichsfeld had only a small area, which had been formed from parts of Seckenheim and Edingen. Julius Espenschied's cement factory, later renamed Steinzeugfabrik , led to an upswing in residents. However, it was located in Seckenheim, which benefited from tax revenue alone. The cross-border railway systems also caused differences with neighboring towns. In 1898 Friedrichsfeld tried in vain to incorporate the area of ​​the stoneware factory. In 1924 the Friedrichsfelder sent a memorandum to the Baden government and the state parliament with the aim of preserving the districts of Seckenheim and Edingen. Two years later the government decided to incorporate Friedrichsfeld into Mannheim. Mannheim then negotiated with Seckenheim in order to incorporate both places at the same time and thus solve the disputed border problem. After the approval of Seckenheim and Friedrichsfeld, both were incorporated on October 1, 1930. At the same time Edingen tried to make contact with Mannheim. However, the city refused to incorporate it at that time because it feared that the loads for sewerage, electricity and water supply during the economic crisis around 1930 would be too great - Edingen-Neckarhausen is still an independent municipality today.

From January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2007, the previously independent parish Mannheim-Friedrichsfeld was incorporated into the Protestant parish of Mannheim on a trial basis. On January 1st, 2008, it is now finally a part of the newly created "Evangelical Church in Mannheim".

Politics, administration

According to the main statute of the city of Mannheim, the city district has a district advisory council, which includes citizens living there, which the local council appoints according to the results of the local council election. They are to be heard on important matters that affect the municipality and advise the local administration and committees of the municipal council. The current district advisory board has existed since 2014 and will be filled for the 2019 municipal council election. The oldest district advisory board member is Reinhold Wolpert of the CDU at 18 years of service (since January 1, 2000).

Culture and sights

The Catholic St. Boniface Church was built between 1897 and 1899 according to the plans of Ludwig Maier in the neo-Gothic style. Three years later, Hermann Behaghel created the Protestant Johannes Calvin Church in the same style .

Historisches Eisenbahn Mannheim eV maintains a number of rail vehicles from the German Federal Railroad era in the former catenary maintenance facility at Sulzer Strasse 43. In addition to the one-off E244 31 from 1935, a class 218 locomotive can also be viewed. Other shunting and small locomotives and some wagons are being refurbished and maintained. A large model railway in H0 gauge can also be seen in the clubhouse. The steam locomotive 18 316 was located there for about 5 years, but it is now located on the back of the Technoseum (formerly the “State Museum for Technology and Work”) in Mannheim.

Friedrichsfeld is on the Bertha Benz Memorial Route .
