Location of the Oberfeld within Darmstadt

The Oberfeld is an area used by agriculture and allotment gardeners in the east of Darmstadt and at the same time a statistical district . The Oberfeld is one of the last agricultural areas within the city limits. But it is also a local recreation area for city dwellers and a fresh air corridor for the city. The largest part of the Oberfeld - 135 hectares - is Hofgutland. There are also fields, meadows and gardens in free float. Hofgut Oberfeld, formerly Hofmeierei, was first the court domain of the Grand Dukes of Hesse-Darmstadt and later the state domain of the State of Hesse. The farm buildings are under ensemble or monument protection. The property includes workers' houses from the Hessian State Exhibition for Fine and Applied Art from 1908. Adjacent is the Dreibrunnenquelle, the oldest urban fountain.

location

Johann Heinrich Haas: Darmstadt 1789 (excerpt)

In the west, the Oberfeld borders directly on the Rosenhöhe Park and the urban area with residential and commercial areas. Historical representations make it clear that the city has expanded further and further into the Oberfeld and has reduced the size of the original cleared island. The estate of the domain, Hofgut Oberfeld, is located in Erbacher Strasse, which borders Oberfeld in the south. In the north, east and south the Oberfeld is surrounded by forests: the pheasantry in the north, the forest areas around the Woogsberg in the northeast, in the southeast the forests around Vordersten and Hintersten Kahlerberg, in the south the forest area around the Glasberg. In the surrounding forests there are bodies of water, wetlands, ponds and forest meadows of different intensity of use, the latter partly belonging to the domain land. The agricultural area of ​​the Oberfeld estate extends over the entire Oberfeld and consists of medium to light soils. The Oberfeld belongs to the east of Darmstadt. The east is counted up to about Mathildenhöhe to the Vorderen Odenwald , the northeast to the natural area Messeler Hügelland. The name Oberfeld is explained by the geography of Darmstadt. The east of the urban area, to which the Oberfeld also belongs, is higher than the west. The cause is the foothills of the Odenwald, which slope from east to west in the direction of the Rhine valley. The forest belt that stretches around the city (big city in the forest) is named after this geographical feature. Oberwald is the name of the forest belt in the east, and Nieder- or Unterwald in the west. There was also a Niederfeld, west of Frankfurter Strasse in Darmstadt. A small connecting road between Bismarckstrasse and Mornewegstrasse, "Im Niederfeld", is still a reminder of this former wine-growing area.

History of the Oberfeld

Darmstadt - Excerpt from the Topographia Hassiae by Matthäus Merian 1655

Settlement / use

From the history of the city of Darmstadt it is known that Darmstadt's urban area is an old settlement area. Historical views of the city show Darmstadt in an agricultural area. In the Middle Ages, 1000–1500 inhabitants lived within the city walls. Darmstadt was a trading center, but most of the residents were urban farmers . They lived mainly from agriculture and forestry. The Darmstadt residents were already using the Oberfeld as arable land in 1110. A good 200 years before Darmstadt was granted city rights, the farmers of the small village cultivated three corridors: the Oberfeld in the east, the Niederfeld in the west and the Lecherfeld towards Weiterstadt. Further clearing in the Oberfeld took place in the 14th century in order to gain additional arable land for the growing Darmstadt population. In the city chronicle, the Oberfeld is mentioned in connection with the agricultural supply of the population. The city was so impoverished by the Thirty Years' War, plague and famine that those responsible made every effort to increase the yields of agriculture through appropriate requirements. In 1649, the three-field economy was rearranged after this basic rule of productive economy that was valid at the time had been broken everywhere. "After ... Darmbstatt has different fields, this 1649th year the Haynemer field is to be used for winter sowing, the next 1650 year but the Oberfeld for summer sowing and then in 1650 the smile field for fallow."

The builder: Book of status from 1568 with woodcuts by Jost Amman

In the second half of the 18th century, an emergency situation gave rise to intensive occupation with agriculture. The sovereigns in Hessen-Darmstadt lived beyond their means. Debts of almost 5 million guilders had accumulated. Agriculture and industry were - compared with other countries - of low productivity. A land commission set up for this reason to improve the food level under the leadership of Friedrich Karl von Moser found that around 75 percent of the population obtained their livelihood from agriculture. Improving agricultural production methods appeared to be the key to better supplying the population and recovering public finances. The reform should take effect in three stages: In areas in which the doubt farming or the multi-year fallow system was still practiced, the three-field farming should be introduced. The fallow land was to be summered with clover and forage herbs and the Norfolk crop rotation (beets, barley and oats, clover, wheat) should be practiced. Keeping cattle in the barn instead of in the field or in the forest should increase manure production. Between 1820 and 1830 the population in the states of the "German Confederation" increased significantly. Over 70 percent of the people lived in the countryside. In addition to supply problems, there were often high taxes and levies on the landowners. In 1830 a peasant uprising followed in the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt, in which several thousand men moved in strong piles towards Darmstadt and demanded the abolition of labor and noble privileges. The uprising was put down by using all available troops. There was a lot of talk about emigration to North America at this time, also among the people living near Oberfeld. Many emigrated. To Bremen z. B. drove the Rhine steamer Princess of Prussia. In Bremen and Bremerhaven were embarked for overseas. In addition to being used by agriculture, quarries have been operated in the south of the Oberfeld since the 16th century. At times copper and iron ore were mined. The quarry on Querweg was filled in during the National Socialist era. The quarry on Scheftheimer Weg, which at that time was still a popular meeting place for the National Socialist youth organizations, was later filled with rubble from the Darmstadt war ruins. Even today, agriculture and allotment gardening dominate in Oberfeld, directly adjacent to the city. Apart from that, the people of Darmstadt have long opened up the Oberfeld as a short route into the countryside. The paths are used by cyclists, walkers and joggers at all times of the year and day. The Oberfeld is a popular local recreation area. "... because only now the soft, maternal, natural half begins with the Oberfeld and its surrounding forest, which - without streets and rows of houses, without noise, shops and advertising - still belongs entirely to our city and it is part of a breathing, sentient beings. "

Princely farm dairy

Hofmeierei (48) on the city map v. 1776 BC Joh. Jac. Hill

The Hofmeierei in Darmstadt was owned by the Counts of Katzenelnbogen . After the male line died out in 1479 and inheritance disputes, the inheritance fell to the Landgraviate of Hesse in 1557 . With the division of the landgraviate, initiated by Landgrave Philipp the Magnanimous , in 1567 parts of the property with the farm dairy went to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt . The Hofmeierei was part of the family property of the landgrave's house even before Landgrave Georg I took over government (1576). In 1820 the property question was reorganized. With the constitution of December 17, 1820 in the Grand Duchy of Hesse , which Grand Duke Ludwig I introduced, hereditary monarchy and the “holy and inviolable” person of the Grand Duke were given constitutional status. The private property of the Grand Duke and state property of the Duchy were legally separated. The Hofmeierei domain was given a special legal status. It was not subordinated to the state forest and domain administration, but left to the ruling grand dukes for private use and for the needs of the court as part of a grand ducal civil list and as so-called chamber property. To the old Darmstadt “Fürstl. Brau und Mayerey ”belonged to facilities such as the mill, brewery, distillery, stables, tithe barn, chicken yard and other buildings. Until the end of the 16th century, it was located south of Darmstadt's residential palace . Over time, the farm buildings were moved step by step to the north in front of the Sporertor on the edge of the Herrngarten . Since 1717 there have been residential buildings, cattle sheds, barns, a distillery, a brewery, an oil and grist mill and an inn. Ancillary businesses existed in Auerbach and Seeheim. In 1818 the brewery and poultry farm were given up and the facility was converted into a model dairy farm, the old buildings were demolished and rebuilt in 1819 by Georg Moller.

Historical map of Darmstadt around 1850

At the end of the 19th century, the farm dairy had to give way to the new technical university. Since then, it has had its current location in Erbacher Str. 125 next to the three-well facility. Stables and farm buildings at the new location were built in 1892. In 1902 a residential house and a large residential and stable building were added. The entire property is under ensemble protection and may not be significantly changed. Two smaller half-timbered houses and the cowshed, a large stable building made of brick masonry, are under monument protection. In 1892, when he took office, the last Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt, Ernst Ludwig , declared that he would renounce the self-management of the domain. Accordingly, the last grand ducal court administrator, Wilhelm Schwarz, changed status in 1896/97. He became a grand ducal domain tenant. After the November Revolution in 1918, Darmstadt was the capital of the newly founded People's State of Hesse. During the property disputes and severance negotiations with Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig in 1919, the domains of the house, including the farm dairy, also became state property.

State domain Oberfeld

The state domain Oberfeld of the State of Hesse is the legal successor to the Grand Ducal Hofmeierei Oberfeld through the abdication of the last sovereign of Hesse-Darmstadt after the end of the First World War and the dissolution of the German Empire. The tenant of the Grand Ducal Domain, Wilhelm Schwarz, remained as the tenant of the state domain. Gustav Vierling succeeded him in 1928. About 50 people were working on the farm at that time. The mechanization of agriculture was at the beginning. The fields were tilled with horses. The large dairy barn was an important source of income for the farm. Up to 1,500 liters of milk were delivered daily. The milk carriage of the domain tenant Vierling was in service until 1939.

Hofgut Oberfeld around 1950

On September 11, 1944, 99 percent of the old and inner city was destroyed in Darmstadt during the so-called fire night by a major attack by the Royal Air Force with a subsequent firestorm . The residential building of the Oberfeld state domain, part of the outbuildings and the barracks that housed foreign and forced laborers during the war also went up in flames. The Oberfeld was a refuge for the survivors of the city. They camped on bare earth. In March 1945 the Americans occupied the destroyed city. The bombed-out and the first war returnees worked on the fields of the domain tenant for accommodation and food. 1945 was also the year of birth of the mare Halla on Gustav Vierling's farm. She became a celebrity. After many great victories under Hans Günter Winkler in the saddle, Halla received the bread of grace on the Oberfeld until her death in 1979. As the successor to Gustav Vierling, his son Eberhard Vierling took over the farm. The company changed over the years. Horse breeding was given up for economic reasons. There were cows until about 1970. The pigs were abolished. The farm was operated with modern agricultural technology, the cultivation switched to sugar beet and seeds. Eberhard Vierling last worked with one employee and continued to run the business until June 2006.

Workers' houses on Erbacher Strasse

Worker's house in Metzendorf

On the edge of the Oberfeld, not far from the farm buildings of the state domain in Erbacher Strasse, there are five historic workers' houses. Three of them go back to a competition that was announced by the Darmstadt artist colony in 1905. They were looking for functional, inexpensive and well-planned model houses for working-class families. At the Hessian State Exhibition for Fine and Applied Art held in 1908 on Mathildenhöhe, six model houses were financed by donations from Hessian companies. Three of them were dismantled after the exhibition and moved to their current location on Erbacher Straße. House number 136/138 comes from the then very well-known Darmstadt architects Markwort und Seibert . House no. 140 is a design by the famous Georg Metzendorf , planner of the workers' housing estate Magarethenhöhe in Essen. House number 142 was designed by Arthur Wienkoop , the head of the then state building trade school. The adjoining two houses were built in 1901 by the TH professor Karl Hofmann . Together they formed the workers' colony of the former grand ducal farm dairy and were used in the interests of the builders.

Three Wells Spring

Three Wells Spring 2005
Renatured Meiereibach, around 2011, looking northeast

The oldest wells in Darmstadt are the three fountains on the Oberfeld. They are located next to the farm buildings of Hofgut Oberfeld on Erbacher Straße. According to the legend, this is the place where the little Heiner from Darmstadt are said to have come from. The first Darmstadt aqueduct, laid out by Landgrave Georg I, began here in 1568. The market well and the city palace were supplied with good drinking water with 726 pipes made of alder wood (three-well pipe). In 1597 "baked tubes" made of ceramic were introduced. In the 17th century there were two ponds here, which served as storage tanks when the Great Woog was fished or suffered from low water influx. Later a third trout pond was created, which was named Judenteich after the pond digger Heinrich Judt from Butzbach (cellar invoices from 1572). Today the Jew pond is part of the Hottonia Aquarium and Terrarium Association. The bronze plates on the fountain surround were designed by the Darmstadt artist Gotthelf Schlotter . The outflow of this spring is the Meiereibach and used to flow into the Darmbach . It is currently being discharged into the municipal sewage system , but is to be renatured again.

Historic ways

Sculpture the invincible by Detlef Kraft (2007)

Their names tell stories. On the Scheftheimer Weg, the Darmstadt cattle used to be herded to pasture on the Scheftheimer meadows, the town's own meadow of the Ruthsenbach . The Seitersweg is reminiscent of the field name “Im Seiter” on the side of Dieburger Straße. The Seiterswiesenschleifweg used to be not a permanent path, but a "grinding path": After the harvest, a path was "dragged" or "drawn" through the field, which had to disappear again when the seeds were sown. So it was only accessible after the harvest and before the new sowing. The Seiterswiesenweg leads from Seitersweg in an easterly direction to the meadow properties in Oberfeld. The mutton strip presumably served the shaft drive. The Katharinenfalltorweg points to a special feature. Costly parforce hunts were a part of court keeping in the 18th century. Whole forests were cordoned off to form game parks with intensive keeping of large game. Kilometers of ramparts, fences and walls should prevent the game from migrating to foreign hunting areas or from devastating adjacent parcels. That was also the case at Oberfeld. The Grand Ducal Wild Fence was 20 kilometers long. Gates for important road connections were monitored by car park servants or gate houses. On the southern edge of the Oberfeld the Katharinenfalltor stood for the cattle drift of the Darmstadt farmers to the Scheftheimer meadows. The way there is still called the Katharinenfalltorweg today. The Jewish Trail also has a history. The Darmstadt Falltorhaus, which was also a customs post, was close to the Hirschköpfens (forester's head). This customs office was often bypassed on a secret route. Back then, customs evasion like this - especially in the flour trade - was often passed on to the Jews. This is how the “Jewish Path”, which begins here and stretches towards Brunnersweg, was created. Shortly after the edge of the forest, the “Judenfalltorweg” turns off towards Oberwaldhaus. At the edge of the forest, the passage through the wild fence was called the “Judenfalltor”.

New developments on the upper field

Initiative Domain Oberfeld eV (IDO)

In 2003 it was clear that Eberhard Vierling, the tenant of the state domain, wanted to let his lease expire in 2006. That was the reason for Darmstadt citizens to come together to bring their ideas for the use of the Oberfeld and the former farm dairy. They founded the association "Initiative Domain Oberfeld eV (IDO)". A usage concept was developed. The Oberfeld should be preserved as open land and fresh air corridor and be upgraded as a local recreation area. Protection as a monument and ecological agriculture with direct marketing was planned for the former farm dairy. In addition, the domain should be used as a pedagogical place of learning and as a location for work and living space for disabled people. The Hessische Landgesellschaft mbH (HLG) and the city of Darmstadt also advised on a perspective. The Technical University (TU) Darmstadt was interested in setting up a biotech center there. This plan was abandoned due to changed boundary conditions. The city's planning advisory board then recommended that the courtyard be shown as an outdoor area in the zoning plan.

The Domain Oberfeld eV (IDO) initiative was able to interest the Minister of Agriculture of the State of Hesse, Wilhelm Dietzel (CDU) and his State Secretary, Karl-Winfried Seif (CDU), in their project and establish contacts with potential donors and politics. Other initiatives followed the IDO: The farm as a learning location with the concept of conveying agricultural and food-related connections. The association “Projekt Lebensweg eV” with the plan to promote living and working opportunities for people with disabilities on the farm. Public relations made the concerns known.

Discussions were then held between the Domain Oberfeld eV initiative (IDO), the Ministry of Agriculture, the management of the domain administration (Hessische Landgesellschaft mbH) and the Software AG Foundation, which supported the initiative. The IDO presented a realization and financing concept. With the support of the Software AG Foundation, appraisals were drawn up and an offer to buy was made. The breakthrough came in March 2006. Between the founder of Software AG, Peter M. Schnell, and State Secretary Karl-Winfried Seif (CDU) it was agreed that the court office of the state domain would be donated to the Hofgut Oberfeld Foundation (in establishment ) is sold. A purchase option was set for the two workers' houses on Erbacher Strasse. In a press release, the state of Hesse announced that the sale of the farm to the Hofgut Oberfeld Foundation had been secured and that the land belonging to the domain would be leased to the Oberfeld Domain Foundation. Further cultivation as ecological agriculture in which social therapeutic measures are to be integrated has been established. The handover took place on July 1st, 2006.

The initiative wants to support the realization of the diverse charitable goals of the overall Hofgut Oberfeld project through voluntary civic engagement in the future. People in special life and work situations, but also young people through projects and internships, should get to know the tasks and work of organic agriculture, landscape and nature conservation as well as building renovation, experience cooperation and teamwork and try out their practical skills. The IDO site is the coordination point for the measures. She has also organized work camps in collaboration with the International Building Order and participated in the EU's Youth in Action program.

Hofgut Oberfeld Foundation

Festival handover on July 1st, 2006

The Hofgut Oberfeld Foundation was established on June 27, 2006. On a non-profit basis, she wants to ensure that the old clearing island of Oberfeld, including the former farm dairy, is preserved through ecological agriculture, the landscape is cared for, the biodiversity is increased and citizens are offered valuable food. Donors are the initiative Domain Oberfeld eV (IDO), Projekt Lebensweg eV, Research Ring for Biological-Dynamic Economy eV, Software AG Foundation, Foundation StadtBauPlan and the farming community. Thanks to the financial support of the Software AG Foundation, the Hofgut Oberfeld Foundation is the owner of the farm, the main tenant of all areas and the coordinator of the entire project with a purchase and lease agreement. The charitable purpose of the foundation is broadly based: landscape conservation, nature and environmental protection, monument protection, promotion of art and culture, upbringing and education, youth care and care, care for the elderly, science and research and, in the sense of charitable purposes, promotion and integration of mentally and / or physically disabled people. For this - according to the statutes - the foundation will make its properties available to initiative sponsors and conclude contracts with them based on the foundation's goals.

The foundation is intended to guarantee that the Oberfeld domain is operated and managed permanently and unchangeably on the basis of the foundation statutes and that the stated purposes are pursued and implemented. It takes on the administration, maintenance, renovation and construction of buildings, leases or rents out demarcated areas to companies, associations or initiatives in accordance with the purposes of the foundation. Contract and cooperation partners in this sense are now the Hofgut Oberfeld Landwirtschaft AG, the Projekt Lebensweg eV, the Heydenmühle eV and the Lernort Bauernhof. In 2011, in cooperation with Heydenmühle eV and Projekt Lebensweg eV, the foundation set up the Lebensweg house on the Hofgut area, the new center of life for 21 people with disabilities and their carers.

Hofgut Oberfeld Landwirtschaft AG (HOL)

Sunday café on the Hofgut

At the same time as public relations and implementation efforts, the Initiative Domain Oberfeld eV (IDO) was looking for farmers who wanted to set up ecological agriculture. After presenting various applications with different concepts, the initiative decided on the concept of the group around the Kathrin and Thomas Goebel family, which envisaged a Demeter farm with dairy cattle, seed propagation, gardening, bakery, cheese dairy and direct marketing . The work of the new farmers on the Oberfeld began when the farm was handed over on July 2, 2006. The farm was set up as a so-called small joint-stock company in the form of a citizens' enterprise. Numerous families and individuals from Darmstadt provide the capital of Landwirtschaft AG as shareholders. Since 2009 the company has been recognized as a Demeter company after a conversion period prescribed by the Demeter guidelines. The concept of ecological management provides for a diverse crop rotation with different types of grain crops (seed multiplication), root crops, vegetables as well as field forage and catch crop cultivation. In the meantime, a dairy herd adapted to the size of the location has been set up, a new cowshed and a cheese dairy have been built. The forest meadows belonging to the estate are intended as pasture for young cattle for extensive pasture fattening as well as for supplementary feed. Laying hens and, to a lesser extent, other small animals such as geese expand the range on offer on the farm. In addition to the primary production, the processing in the bakery and farm cheese dairy as well as the direct marketing of the products in the farm shop form the focus of the management concept. For many Darmstadt citizens, the Hofgut Oberfeld with its agricultural offerings, the farm café, the cattle herd, the horse stable and its special offers such as the spring festival, historical farm work day, harvest festival and Christmas market has become a popular excursion destination. With the seasonal gardens project, Landwirtschaft AG also offers Darmstadt residents the opportunity to cultivate their own vegetable garden on the Oberfeld seasonally.

Farm as a place of learning

The farm as a place of learning, an initiative supported by the Hofgut Oberfeld Foundation, has settled in workers' house number 140 on Erbacher Straße. He wants to reach children, young people and adults with sustainable educational work in the areas of agriculture, nutrition and food preparation as an extracurricular learning location . The aim is to make the ecological, economic, health and social factors of one's own nutritional and consumer behavior understandable and to provide impetus for positive changes. Through active learning with head, heart and hand, the connection between agriculture and nutrition should be comprehensible and the production and processing of food should be tried out with a lot of fun. The place of learning wants to encourage people to actively work for their own health and that of those around them. The project is aimed with its offers at kindergartens, schools, extracurricular educational institutions as well as interested adults, teachers, multipliers and consumers. There is a wide range of events; Around 200 half-day events are held annually. School class projects, children's birthday events, fixed farm groups, holiday weeks, training courses for adults: agriculture is always made “understandable” in small groups and on the basis of different focuses (from cow to butter, from grain to bread, etc.), with each individual project goes far beyond the character of a mere tour. Various methods are used to improve the quality of environmental education work. In 2011, the work of the farm as a place of learning in the field of education for sustainable development for families was awarded the renowned Karl Kübel Prize and in 2012 by the Hessian Ministry of Social Affairs as “Hesse's future place of learning”. Furthermore, the learning place farm is a member of the federal working group Lernort Bauernhof eV and of the Hessian initiative “Farm as a classroom”. Since the participation fees only cover part of the expenses, grants in the form of donations and allowances remain necessary to keep the work of the farm as a place of learning; Greater public support for the work is also sought.

Hofgut Oberfeld Lebensweg eV

The association "Projekt Lebensweg eV - Association for the promotion of people in need of soul care after school" is an initiative that emerged from a group of parents at the Christophorus School in Mühltal, which - founded in 2000 - wants to develop post-school life prospects for mentally and multiply disabled people. Christophorus parents were already active in the nineties and were involved in the construction of the Heydenmühle in Otzberg-Lengfeld, where now almost 50 disabled people live in full inpatient or outpatient care living and around 80 workshop spaces for disabled people (WfbM) have been created. At Hofgut Oberfeld, the association wants to create more space for disabled and non-disabled people to live together. For the purpose of outpatient and inpatient care, the historic Schweizerhaus of the Hofgut (former home of the Melkknechte) was renovated and a new building, Haus Lebensweg, was built. Heydenmühle eV is the provider of care and social therapy as well as the tenant of Haus Lebensweg. The concept of people with and without disabilities living together was widely supported in Darmstadt. In 2007, readers of the Darmstädter Echos raised € 330,000 in a fundraising campaign for the Oberfeld project. The Software AG Foundation doubled the amount. In 2011 the foundation stone for Haus Lebensweg was laid. In 2012, the first cared-for residents moved in in January. The commitment of Projekt Lebensweg eV was reflected in the naming of the new house.
