geography

Haunstetter lower terrace

Haunstetten-Siebenbrunn is located in the south of Augsburg between the rivers Lech , Wertach and Singold on a low terrace . To the east of Haunstetten is the Haunstetter forest, which stretches east to the Lech and Meringer Au. The city forest joins to the south. To the north of the Haunstetter forest or from Siebenbrunn lies the Siebentischwald , which extends into the Spickel . The peculiarity of the ground relief favored the development of valuable heather areas, such as the Schießplatzheide (part of the Lechtalheiden ).

history

First settlement and Roman times

With the construction of a Siemens branch in 1986, it was found that Haunstetten's people had settled in this area well before Haunstetten was founded. Corresponding finds were assigned by the archaeologists to the Neolithic Age (approx. 3000 years BC), the Bronze Age (1400–1200 BC) and the Urnfield Age (1200–800 BC). In autumn 2016, the archaeologist from the city of Augsburg discovered 20 body graves from around 1500 BC. Chr., Seven urn graves and from around 1100 BC. Traces of settlement in the area of ​​a planned technology center of the Fraunhofer Institute, dated to BC.

At the time of the Roman Empire , a trade route ran through Haunstetten that ran from Augsburg via Füssen and Bozen to Rome . It was the famous Kaiser-Augustus- Strasse, also known as Via Claudia Augusta . The Romans, who since 15 BC Lived in Augusta Vindelicorum , they had in the years 47 BC. BC and 46 BC Created. The road ran straight through what is now Haunstetten. There is no reliable knowledge about a settlement of Haunstetten in Roman times.

Founding and development of Haunstetten until 1900

Haunstetten was first mentioned in a document in 919 with the name Husteten . In 1012 Haunstetten came into the possession of the Augsburg Benedictine monastery of Ortisei and Afra . During the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) Haunstetten was repeatedly destroyed and looted. The St. George's Church was also badly damaged.

Until 1803, at the time of secularization , i.e. for 883 years, Haunstetten remained in the possession of the Augsburg monastery. During this time it was u. a. Called an Ulrican village . On the site of today's Eichendorff School there was a castle property that belonged to the imperial abbey . A stone tablet next to the front door of the Krankenhausstrasse 4 property from 1715 reminds of this manor. On it is the coat of arms of Abbot Willibald Popp .

At the beginning of the 19th century, industrialization also found its way into Haunstetten. From 1811 the von Molo and von Rebay families ran a whitening factory . About 20 years later, the Martini family took over this business and transformed it into the textile finishing company Martini & Cie . At that time, another textile company, the Haunstetten spinning and weaving mill, set up shop in the northern part of Haunstetten . At the beginning of the 20th century, the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (later Messerschmittwerke ) founded a production facility in Haunstetten. The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1873.

Development of Haunstetten from 1900 until today

With the help of the Kommerzienrat , factory owner and manor owner Georg Käß , a hospital was built in 1900 . In 1904 the Eichendorff School was built with the help of Georg Käß.

During the Second World War (1939-1945) air raids caused great damage in Haunstetten. Many Haunstetter citizens fell victim to these air raids, which primarily targeted the Messerschmitt factories. At the end of the war Haunstetten was handed over to soldiers of the 7th US Army by Mayor Xaver Widmeier . Until the currency reform (1948) there was a dire need. Children in particular were hungry. The German Red Cross led for this reason, a school lunch.

After the war, Haunstetten became a second home for many refugees and displaced persons . Houses, shops and businesses were built on meadows and fields, and new districts emerged. School lessons were introduced for schoolchildren at the Eichendorffschule until the Froebel School was completed in 1952.

The municipality of Haunstetten received town charter in 1952 and subsequently carried out numerous building projects before it was incorporated into Augsburg. The Catholic St. Albert Church was built in the north and consecrated in 1954. The Pestalozzi School followed in 1958, and the natural open-air swimming pool opened its doors in 1960. The new building of the Froebel School was completed in 1968. In 1970 the ice rink was opened and the new Pestalozzi School was completed.

In the course of the municipal reform , Haunstetten became a district of Augsburg on July 1, 1972, despite the resistance of the Haunstetter citizens.

For the next few years, the city of Augsburg plans to use an area of ​​180 hectares in the southwest of Haunstetten, which previously consisted of meadows and fields, for the construction of a new city quarter. The aim is to create new living space for 10,000 people.

Siebenbrunn

In terms of area, Siebenbrunn is the largest urban district in the Haunstetten-Siebenbrunn planning area. With only 102 inhabitants, on the other hand, it is Augsburg's smallest district in terms of population today. Today, the Siebenbrunn district is primarily important as a forest and meadow area for the drinking water supply of Augsburg. It contains part of the Augsburg city forest ; in the north of Siebenbrunn it is the Siebentischwald , in the east Lech-Auwald and in the south the Haunstetter forest.

Siebenbrunn belonged to Upper Bavaria under the name Meringerau until it was incorporated on July 1, 1910 , which can still be seen today on boundary stones and a border ditch. From 1803, after extensive clearing, settlement took place, initially by wealthy citizens of Augsburg. In 1866 a textile factory was built in the lower village, which was also known as the colony. After the Second World War, up to 634 people lived in Siebenbrunn. Since the district is located in a groundwater protection area, a large part of the settlement, including the former textile factory and the lower village, was removed in the 1970s (see also factory colony ). Today there are still two of the former five manors in Siebenbrunn, the former schoolhouse, the excursion restaurant "Jägerhaus", a children's playground and a field cross.

Economy and Infrastructure

Messerschmitt works

The Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW) acquired in 1926 an area in today's university district . From the mid-1930s, large Messerschmitt plants were built in the north-west and north-east of Haunstetten (Plant III & Plant IV). Today the systems belong to the Airbus subsidiary Premium Aerotec .

From 1936 onwards, craftsmen, technicians and engineers came from all over Germany. Many of them were given apartments in the Messerschmittsiedlung , the northern part of which was completed in 1937 and the southern part in 1939.

The number of employees rose by leaps and bounds.

  • In 1936, 5,000 people were employed at Messerschmitt AG
  • In 1939 there were 9,000 employees
  • In 1944 there were over 18,000 employees - 47% of them were foreign workers - mainly foreign and forced laborers

This was also associated with a huge increase in the number of inhabitants for Haunstetten:

  • In 1933 Haunstetten had 3,000 inhabitants
  • In 1945 there were already 8,000 inhabitants

Barracks were built in Haunstetten for the foreign workers . There were three camps for slave labor :

  • the camp star
  • the camp eagle owl
  • the camp on Flachsstrasse

On the site of the old gravel pit on the road to Inningen which was sub-camp Haunstetten the concentration camp of Dachau built, which consisted February 1943 to April 1944. Up to 2,700 concentration camp prisoners were locked up there, most of whom were employed by Messerschmitt.

The Messerschmitt company was an important arms company. By the end of the war he had built 34,000 Bf 109 aircraft . From February 25, 1944, the company and the surrounding area were the target of four large bombing raids by the British and the Americans . 165 people died in the first attack alone, 70 of them concentration camp prisoners.

The number of foreign workers, forced laborers and concentration camp prisoners who died is not recorded. For the Haunstetter population, the balance of the war looks like this:

  • 246 Haunstetters died at the front.
  • 160 haunstetters are missing.
  • 300 Haunstetters died in air raids.
  • 1/4 of all apartments were destroyed.
  • 2300 displaced persons were admitted to Haunstetten.

On April 28, 1945 the war in Haunstetten was over and the Americans moved in as the occupying power.

After the war, Messerschmitt AG became Messerschmitt Flugzeug-Union Süd GmbH (MTT-FUS). The merger of MTT-FUS with Bölkow GmbH (1968) to form Messerschmitt-Bölkow GmbH and the further merger of this company with Hamburger Flugzeugbau GmbH (1969), a subsidiary of Blohm & Voss , left Messerschmitt-Boelkow-Blohm (MBB ), the largest German aerospace company at the time. In 1989, MBB was taken over by Deutsche Aerospace AG (DASA) . This went into 2000 in EADS, today's Airbus.
