Mattenbach is the youngest district of Winterthur ; it was declared a district in 1973. Mattenbach is located between the city and lakes quarters. The quarter is primarily characterized by large cooperative developments, most of which were built between 1930 and 1970. It is named after the Mattenbach , which flows from the Seen district through the urban district and flows into the Eulach .
coat of arms
The blazon of the coat of arms reads: "Divided by silver with a striding red lion and by green with a silver sloping stream."
When the district was founded, there was no coat of arms. Since there was a need for one, the neighborhood association organized a competition. Today's coat of arms of Pius Alber prevailed against that of a well-known heraldist with 87 of 151 votes. With the approval of the city council, the draft became the district's official coat of arms.
geography
The urban district lies between the urban districts of the city and the lakes , whereby it is separated from the lakes by a green belt that was deliberately kept free when the area was built over. The districts of the Mattenbach district are on the one hand the two districts Endliker south of Tösstalstrasse and Gutschick north of it, located on the border to lakes , the third quarter is the largest in terms of area, Deutweg . The Gutschick and Endliker quarters were built in the 1960s and 1970s. These two quarters consist largely of apartment blocks from housing cooperatives, which shape the appearance of the district and shape the quarter in large parts of the Deutweg quarter. The rest of the city district is part of the Deutweg district. This includes all older parts of the quarter that are closer to the city of Winterthur, as well as the part of the Eschenberg urban forest that belongs to the urban district .
The district is traversed by the Eulach and the Mattenbach .
education
There are six kindergartens in the neighborhood (Am Bach, Breite, Eigenheim, Gutschick, Mattenbach, Schönengrund and the Sprachheilkindergarten Mattenbach) as well as three primary schools (Gutschick, Mattenbach and Schönengrund). The upper level is housed in the Mattenbach schoolhouse.
history
The area of today's urban district Mattenbach was uninhabited for a long time, apart from agricultural land, a few farms and mills along the Eulach . The construction of the Tösstalstrasse from 1834 changed this, especially along the newly paved road the first houses were built. From Winterthur, today's area of the urban district was first covered by the green suburb of villas and businesses. In the 1870s, today's St. Gallerstrasse was built and a new quarter was created between St. Gallerstrasse, Tösstalstrasse and Deutweg. The first cooperative apartments were built in 1888 on Mühlebachstrasse. With the silk weaving mill Sidi , industry settled in the new quarter. In 1895, the Federal Rifle Festival took place on the still undeveloped area .
At the beginning of the interwar period , the area of today's urban district had around 3000 residents in 300 houses. Between the two world wars, the Eigenheim cooperative settlements and the Bernoulli houses on Unteren Deutweg were built. The Talgut district was created in the 1940s. During the Second World War, the first cooperative developments were built in the Mattenbachquartier and Zelgli south of Tösstalstrasse. After the correction of the Mattenbach and the district plan for the Mattenbach district, the area was completely built over with cooperative terraced houses. In 1958 the post office Deutweg was opened. In the 1960s, the Gutschick quarter was built as a cooperative urban development.
On July 1, 1973, the new urban development was taken into account and the Mattenbach district was created through a new municipal code. It is mainly located in the former area of the city district, part of which comes from lakes and a corner from Oberwinterthur. When it was created, the urban district, which is characterized by workers' settlements, had 13,000 inhabitants; today the number of inhabitants has fallen slightly.
In the second half of the 1990s, according to the Waldeggsee initiative, a small lake was to be built south of the district, but the idea was rejected by the people in February 1999.
Churches
There are two churches in Mattenbach:
- The Evangelical Reformed Zwingli Church was built in 1940 and is located at Untere Deutweg 13 .
- The Roman Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus has stood at Untere Deutweg 89 since its establishment in 1934 .
traffic
The trolleybus line 2 of the local transport company Stadtbus Winterthur connects the city center with lakes and crosses the quarter as the main line in the middle. The bus line 4 (HB-Breite-HB) runs through the district on the return journey to the main station. Some bus lines brush Mattenbach north along the main road that runs along the border of the urban district.
