Neurott
Neurott is a small farming settlement in the southwest of Heidelberg . It is located in the Heidelberg district of Kirchheim on the border with Oftersheim and Schwetzingen , south of the Patrick-Henry-Village settlement, which was formerly inhabited by members of the US Army . The distances to the city centers of Heidelberg and Mannheim are 8 and 20 kilometers.
Neurott was founded during the Nazi era in 1938 as a so-called new farmer settlement. The sociologist Ludwig Neundörfer , who had been employed by the city of Heidelberg since 1933, was involved in the planning. Eleven hereditary farms were created , each of which was assigned two fields with a total of around eight hectares. Part of the area had previously been used as Kirchheimer Allmende . Other areas had belonged to the former Bruchhausen domain , the fields of which had been separated by the construction of the Reichsautobahn Heidelberg– Karlsruhe , today's Federal Motorway 5 . Mostly younger farmers were settled, mostly from Kirchheim. Since the settlement had no meadows, should by intercropping the keeping of livestock are possible. At the inauguration of Neurott on June 26, 1938, Baden's Prime Minister Walter Köhler , the country's farmer's leader Fritz Engler-Füßlin and the Heidelberg mayor Carl Neinhaus spoke .
In the 1960s field vegetables were produced under contract in Neurott , especially for the Bassermann canning factory in Schwetzingen . At the present time four of the originally eleven farms are still managed full-time. The focus is on tobacco and asparagus cultivation . The population is around 60 people. In Neurott there is also a vegetable farm with a farm shop. There are also paddocks and stables for horses in Neurott.
Neurott, which is not connected to the public sewer network, has had its own decentralized membrane sewage treatment plant since December 2005. Developed and designed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology (IGB) in Stuttgart, it is the first sewage treatment plant in Germany with membrane technology in the preliminary and secondary treatment.
