history

Due to the severe housing shortage that prevailed in Reutlingen, the new district was built on an area of around 80 hectares from 1960 to 1970 in seven construction phases. After completion of the construction work Orschel-Hagen had about 10,000 inhabitants, which made up about 12.5 percent of the total population of Reutlingen. The construction activities were organized by the non-profit housing association (GWG) and supported with federal funds (model city).

The name Orschel-Hagen is derived from the two corridors in the north of Reutlingen on which the district was built. The name Orschel was first mentioned in 1334 as bi Ratolf openly behind Norsel , in the 16th century the name Orschel was established. The first part of the name Norsel could refer to the geographical location in the north of the Reutlingen district. Wille derives the name component -sel from Old High German selida (= house, hut), so that the name Orschel could have referred to a smaller farm in the north of Reutlingen. The name Hagen appears for the first time in 1307 as uf dem Hag and appeared for the first time in 1454 in today's spelling. Wille takes on the Swabian or Middle High German origin Hagen (= thorn bush, enclosure); Hagen could have described a willow bordered by thorn bushes.
