About this picture

Saarwellingen (in the local Moselle Franconian dialect Wellingen ) is a municipality in the Saarland in the Saarlouis district , around 20 kilometers northwest of the state capital Saarbrücken .

Districts

Districts are Reisbach , Saarwellingen and Schwarzenholz .

history

The municipality of today's Saarwellingen municipality was occupied by French revolutionary troops in 1793 and, like later the entire left bank of the Rhine, was incorporated into France. After the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Rhine Province of the Kingdom of Prussia became part of the German Empire after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/1871 . Before 1783 there was a separate development of the districts Saarwellingen, Schwarzenholz and Reisbach, which were merged on New Year's Day in 1974.

Saarwellingen

Prehistory and early history

Archaeological finds have shown that people lived and worked in the area of ​​today's Saarwellingen as early as the Bronze Age . A burial mound with a skeleton grave could be assigned to the Middle Bronze Age.

Antiquity

In ancient times, Celts settled in what is now Saarwellingen . In the vicinity ran the interface of the two tribal areas of the Mediomatriker with their center Metz and the Treverer with the center Trier . The current name of the Prims (Primantia / Bhrimantia, from "wallen" / "hum") delimiting the Saarwellingen municipality comes from the Celtic era.

After the conquest of Gaul by Gaius Julius Caesar from 58 to 51 BC. The region was ruled by the Romans.

middle Ages

The Romans were followed with the migration of peoples , the Franks , after which the Moselle Franconian dialect of the region is named. Probably at the time of the Franconian land development in the valley widening of the Saarwellingen Heßbach, a first Franconian settlement was founded, which was then named Wellingen or Wellinga (settlement of Wello) after its builder Wello or Vailo.

The first written message from Wellingen comes from the tenth century. It is a document that dates from the period from 931 to 956. In this document from the Archbishop of Trier Albero von Montreuil (term of office 1132-1152), he confirms that since the time of his predecessor Ruotbert von Trier (term of office 931-956) there had been an ordinance according to which the parishes in the middle and lower Saar were obliged to go on a pilgrimage to St. Ludwin's tomb in Mettlach Abbey on the day of remembrance . Wellingen is also listed in this directory. In 953 there was already a parish in Wellingen, which was dedicated to St. Martin of Tours .

At the end of the High Middle Ages the rule (Saar) -Wellingen was owned by various feudal lords. At the beginning of the 13th century, the Saarwellingen ban was owned by the noblemen Reiner and Boemund von Saarbrücken. One line of this family bore the name "Herren zu Hesebach", another branch was named after Dagstuhl Castle, which was first mentioned in a document in 1290 . The Dagstuhl line died out in the male line in 1376 . The property went jointly to the families of the four heir daughters, namely the Lords of Fleckenstein in Lower Alsace , (Blies) Bridges , Pittingen (today in Mersch in Luxembourg) and Rollingen . Kaspar von Rollingen, Lord of Siebenborn and Dagstuhl, sold his Saarwellingen property to the Counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken in 1523 . The Pittingensche share came to the County of Kriechingen in 1365 through the marriage of Irmengard von Pittingen to Johann von Kriechingen . In terms of fiefdom, Saarwellingen now belonged to the County of Saarbrücken and was, to a lesser extent, ducal-Lorraine fief.

In 1376 a Saarwellingen castle is called "Veste Wellingen". This castle was last inhabited during the Thirty Years War. During the chaos of war, the facility was plundered several times. In 1662 there is only talk of the "anjetzo ruined Wellingian Castle".

In 1621 the Duchy of Lorraine ceded its feudal rights to the County of Nassau-Saarbrücken. In the Thirty Years' War Saarwellingen and the medieval in the village center located was Wasserburg completely destroyed. After the war, the survivors who fled to the surrounding forests returned and rebuilt the devastated place. New settlers from Lorraine and Swabia , from Alsace and Tyrol , from the Ardennes and partly from Denmark also settled here . From 1631 to 1634 Johann Michael Moscherosch was one of the bailiffs of the Lutheran branch of the Counts of Kriechingen in Kriechingen and as such was employed in Saarwellingen, which at that time was half of Kreching.

The county of Nassau-Saarbrücken left the place Saarwellingen in 1659 as free imperial rule to the Counts of Kriechingen. From these, the imperial rule of Saarwellingen came to the county of East Friesland in 1681 , since the Kriechingen heir, Countess Anna Dorothea, had married Count Edgar Ferdinand of East Friesland. Both son, Friedrich, had a daughter: Countess Christine Luise. On August 14, 1726, she married Count Johann Ludwig zu Wied-Runkel. As a result, Saarwellingen came to the Counts of Wied in 1726 , with whom the place remained until the dissolution of the Old Kingdom .

In 1715, the architect and entrepreneur Joseph C. Motte from Geneva built the first small baroque castle with stables and barns in the center of the village on the former castle grounds . The construction was completed in 1719 and served the kriechingischen bailiff as the administrative seat.

Due to the poor living conditions, around 1750 there was a wave of emigration to Hungary, which was depopulated by the Turkish wars . The emperor's government in Vienna tried to recruit new settlers for the devastated areas in the Hungarian lowlands. With the promise of free arable and building land, building material, seeds and planting material for grain and wine, tax exemption in the first years of settlement, free transport with food and medical care from the collection points to Hungary, people who want to emigrate should be found. The Saar region made up a not inconsiderable part with 5000 emigrants. The wave of emigration to the Banat began in Saarwellingen in 1764 after a fire in the castle. Over 25 families then moved to Hungary in the hope of finding a better livelihood there.

After the fire in the castle, the construction of a new and larger castle began under the rule of Count Christian Ludwig von Wied-Runkel, which was completed in 1766 after two years of construction. The castle, which today serves as the town hall of Saarwellingen, is an elongated building with eleven axes. Two storeys with thin corner pilasters and a mansard roof rise above a house stone base. The windows are closed at the top with flat stitch arches. In the second axis from the left and in the third axis from the right there is a portal with a profiled wall and segment roofing. In front of it are open stairs. A large archway with a mask in the keystone leads to the rear courtyard. The back of the small castle is structured according to the front, but a short wing protrudes to the right. The left half of the building is an extension from 1879 when the castle was used as a school building.

French Revolution

After the French revolutionary troops occupied the old county of Kriechingen in 1793 and the places Saarwellingen, Reisweiler, Schwarzenholz, Labach, Labacher Hof and Hauser and Kunzenmühle in 1794, these places were assigned to the Département de la Sarre (Saar department) in 1795 and belonged to the arrondissement of Saarbrücken with the canton of Lebach . With the establishment of a new municipal structure in 1797, a committee consisting of a Maire (mayor), several lay judges and other council members was formed for the Saarwellingen community. On November 1st, 1800 the places Saarwellingen, Reisweiler, Labach and Schwarzenholz were merged into a mayor's office (Mairie). Schwarzenholz was assigned to Mairie Schwalbach on April 13, 1801. The French rule ends with the Prussian invasion under General Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher in the Saar region at the beginning of 1814.

In the course of the French Revolution, the Counts of Wied were expropriated. The baroque palace building was auctioned in 1804 and fell to Johann Rosier from Saarlouis, who later sold it to Johann Nicola Lacroix from Saarlouis. In 1818 the Saarwellingen community acquired the castle and used it as a schoolhouse.

Transfer to the Kingdom of Prussia

After Napoleon Bonaparte had been forced to abdicate, was with the Bourbon Louis XVIII. the first Treaty of Paris concluded on May 31, 1814, according to which France was restricted to the state borders of 1792. The Saarwellingen neighboring towns of Dillingen / Saar and Saarlouis as well as today's Saarland capital Saarbrücken should therefore remain with France. After Napoleon's return and his final defeat at Waterloo on June 18, 1815 as well as his exile on the island of St. Helena , in the Second Peace of Paris on November 20, 1815, the previously French neighboring towns of Saarwellingen were separated from France and transferred to the Kingdom of Prussia ( Rhine Province ) to hand over. Several petitions from merchants from Saarbrücken and St. Johann and a signature campaign under the leadership of Saarbrücken Mayor Heinrich Böcking , which aimed to join the Saarorte to the Kingdom of Prussia , played a not insignificant role.

Saarwellingen itself was together with the Nalbacher Tal from June 16, 1814 to June 5, 1815 under a provisional administration of the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Bavaria , whose headquarters were in Bad Kreuznach . This was intended as a temporary measure, as it had not yet been conclusively clarified to which power the area was to fall as part of the regained German areas on the left bank of the Rhine. The Habsburg-Lothringen and Wittelsbach dynasties wanted to keep the area as a bargaining chip in order to protect the Kingdom of Saxony under Friedrich August I from being taken over by the Hohenzollerns . On July 1, 1816, the plenipotentiaries of the Empire of Austria and the Kingdom of Bavaria on the one hand and those of the Kingdom of Prussia on the other hand signed the so-called territorial equalization patent in Worms , in which Austria and Bavaria ceded territories to Prussia and the former subjects and civil servants from theirs Discharge from duties.

For today's district of Saarlouis , Saarwellingen and the Nalbach Valley as well as Hüttersdorf, Bettingen and Lebach came from the subjects of the Emperor of Austria, Franz I , to the subjects of the King of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm III.

The Austro-Bavarian administration of Saarwellingen had decreed on November 10, 1814 that the town of Schwarzenholz was to be reassigned to the Saarwellingen mayor.

In the following period, Saarwellingen shared the fate of the Kingdom of Prussia from 1816 and that of the German Empire from 1871 to 1919.

In 1879, the community of Saarwellingen expanded the Baroque palace of the Counts of Wied, which had served as a schoolhouse since 1818, with an annex. It is the left half of today's town hall. In the course of this expansion, the left archway was demolished.

In 1900, the community of Saarwellingen built a new town hall with a mayor's house in the garden of a private house on Vorstadtstrasse that had been rented for administrative purposes. The front of the main building was a scenic asymmetry and a mixture of neo-Gothic and neofrühneuzeitlichen elements with a turret, truss structure and high Risalitgiebel designed. An administrative building was added to the building in 1930. The complex served the community of Saarwellingen as the mayor's office until 1978, when the former palace building was converted into the town hall. Numerous historical architectural elements were removed in a purifying manner in the period after the Second World War. In 1990, the renovation and modernization of the historic town hall building on Vorstadtstrasse began. On May 28, 1994, the “Old Town Hall Meeting Point” was opened as a new cultural center for Saarwellingen. The headquarters of Technischen Werke Saarwellingen GmbH (TWS) have also been located in the building since 1994.

As a result of the Peace Treaty of Versailles , Saarwellingen, as part of the Saar region, was placed under the League of Nations from 1920 after the First World War was lost to the German Reich and only returned to the Nazi- ruled German Reich in 1935 after the referendum of January 13, 1935 . In the referendum on January 13, 1935, 90.5% in the Saar area voted for annexation to the German Reich, and 91.19% in the Saarlouis district.

For the entire community of Saarwellingen, the voting results of January 13, 1935 were as follows:

  • Eligible voters: 6,416
  • Votes cast: 6377
  • Voted for joining the French Republic: 20
  • Voted for the status quo: 547
  • Voting for the return to the German Reich: 5810 (= 91.31%)

National Socialism and World War II

On April 1, 1937 the communities Reisweiler and Labach were merged to form the new community Reisbach.

Until the beginning of the National Socialist regime, Jewish and non-Jewish citizens had lived together in Saarwellingen. In 1907 the Jewish community opened a Jewish elementary school in the garden of the former Saarwellingen Palace. Due to the compulsion of the National Socialist rule, after the annexation of the Saar area to the German Reich in 1935, the Jewish community was forced to give up the building in 1936. Under the protection of the League of Nations, Jews in the Saar region had a year of parental leave between 1935 and 1936 in order to escape the Nuremberg race laws by emigrating. Over 100 Saarwellingen Jews then fled to France and Luxembourg . In 1936 only 34 Jewish citizens lived in Saarwellingen. As a memorial, 67 stumbling blocks have already been laid by Gunter Demnig in Saarwellingen .

Between 1938 and 1945, a total of 51 Jewish citizens who lived in Saarwellingen before 1935 were deported to the concentration camps of the Nazi regime and finally murdered. The Auschwitz Book of the Dead contains the names of the 43-year-old Saarwellingen teacher Leo Grünfeld (* 1901 in Tauberrettersheim ; † 1944 in Auschwitz ), his wife Zerline and their ten-year-old son Alfred. Until the forced sale of the Saarwellingen schoolhouse in 1936, Leo Grünfeld was the last teacher in the Saarwellingen Jewish elementary school. He then taught in the last remaining Jewish school in Saarland in Saarbrücken until 1940, before he went to Frankfurt am Main as a teacher with his family . In 1942 he was deported to Auschwitz , where he and his family were murdered in 1944.

After 2001, it seemed appropriate to those in charge of the Saarwellingen community to remind of this story by naming the building of the elementary school. In its meeting on November 20, 2001, the municipal council decided to name the new administration building "Leo-Grünfeld-Haus". As part of an official celebration, the renovated building at Engelstrasse 12 was inaugurated on January 20, 2002. In memory of the former Jewish school with its last teacher, Leo Grünfeld, a memorial plaque was placed at the entrance to the house on Engelstrasse.

Heavy artillery shelling by the US Army in World War II caused massive destruction in Saarwellingen. The Wiedsche Baroque Palace, which was used as a school building, was severely damaged in the winter of 1944/1945. Reconstruction began in 1948.

In Saarwellingen, Dynamit Nobel AG Troisdorf , which was more than 45% in the hands of IG Farben , had been running a branch since 1910 for the manufacture of explosives for mining and industry. IG-Farben also held a 65% stake in the Palatinate Powder Factory in St. Ingbert through the parent company . During the war, 69 forced laborers and prisoners worked for the company. From December 18, 1942 to November 18, 1943, they were housed in a barrack on the company premises in Poland, which were used for loading and cleaning work. But they were also forced to work in the A-mill (saltpeter mill, raw material preparation) that was very harmful to health. The prisoners were not allowed to be used in the manufacture of explosives because of the fear of sabotage and theft. From the end of 1943 the Poles were replaced by 54 Italians interned in the military. As the front approached, the Italians were evacuated on November 30, 1944.

After the war, the IG Farben manager Fritz Gajewski , one of the main defendants in the IG Farben trial , acted as chairman of the advisory board of Dynamit Nobel GmbH Saarwellingen from 1948. From 1931 to 1945 he was on the board of IG Farben, where he was head of the photo and synthetics production area. From 1933 Gajewski was a member of the NSDAP , from 1940 a member of the Southeast Europe Committee and from 1942 a military economic leader .

Saar state and referendum on the Saar Statute in 1955

Ballot for the referendum on the European Statute for the Saarland on October 23, 1955

With the entry into force of the Saarland constitution on December 15, 1947, Saarwellingen became part of the Saar state .

The municipal councils of the municipalities of Saarwellingen, Schwarzenholz and Reisbach applied for the mayor's office of Saarwellingen to be dissolved and for the three municipalities to be released again into independence. The Saarland Ministry of the Interior dissolved the administrative district (Amt) Saarwellingen on April 1, 1948. Each municipality was again independent with a voluntary mayor elected from among the municipal council at the head.

On October 23, 1954, the agreement between the governments of the Federal Republic of Germany and the French Republic on the Saar Statute was negotiated between the German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and the French Prime Minister Pierre Mendès France . Until the conclusion of a peace treaty with Germany, the agreement provided for the Saarland to be subordinate to a commissioner from the Western European Union . This should represent the country externally. However, the Saarland government should continue to be responsible for internal affairs and the economic connection to France should be maintained. However, closer economic networking with the Federal Republic was also planned.

In the referendum on the agreement on October 23, 1955 on the European Statute of the Saarland , Saarwellingen voted as follows: 1601 eligible voters voted yes; 2,685 eligible voters voted no. The other sub-municipalities of Saarwellingen voted as follows:

  • Schwarzenholz: 483 eligible voters voted yes; 1114 eligible voters voted no.
  • Reisbach: 551 eligible voters voted yes; 831 eligible voters voted no.

The Saarland national average of yes-people was 32.3%, that of no-people was 67.7%.

As a result of the negotiations that followed and the Luxembourg Treaty of October 27, 1956, in which France agreed to the reintegration of the Saarland under West German sovereignty , Saarwellingen became the Federal Republic of Germany on January 1, 1957, and on July 6, 1959 ("Day X") economically Germany attached.

New building area in the Hochgerichtswald

Even before the Second World War , the area north of the built-up location of Saarwellingen had been settled starting from the area of ​​the road to the Saarwellingen- Nalbach train station (today B 405 ). At that time, however, the majority of this plain was still covered by the High Court Forest, which is where the name of the later settlement comes from.

After the Second World War, the plan began to build a new residential area here in order to meet the increased demand for living space, which resulted primarily from the upswing in the nearby industrial companies. The location was particularly suitable due to its proximity to the Dillinger Hütte , the Dynamit Nobel plant and the planned Saarwellingen-Dickenwald industrial area. The neighboring Ford plant in Saarlouis opened in 1970.

As a result, a separate district developed. With the Ludwig-Geraldy-Schule there was its own elementary school , the post office and the Sparkasse opened local branches, numerous shops, restaurants and a gas station settled there. Between 1959 and 1960, the Saarwellingen architect Toni Laub built the church of St. Pius X. Later, the district received a special school with a home for the disabled and an integrative kindergarten. The Saarwellingen school center is also in the immediate vicinity .

Saarland municipal reform

Saarwellingen, reconstructed archway of the former count's castle

As a result of the territorial and administrative reform that came into force on January 1, 1974, the three independent municipalities Saarwellingen, Schwarzenholz and Reisbach were merged into a single municipality, which has been called Saarwellingen ever since.

In the years 1976/1977, the former count's castle, which had been used as a schoolhouse since 1818, was converted into a town hall.

A baroque archway from 1766 arched the right-hand entrance to the castle courtyard until the US artillery bombardment in January 1945. Grenades had completely destroyed the archway down to the foundation. While the reconstruction of the also heavily damaged schoolhouse in the former castle could be completed by 1948, the reconstruction of the archway was not carried out at that time. The parallel archway on the left side of the palace had already fallen victim to the palace expansion in 1879.

The historic baroque palace used as the town hall was extensively renovated by spring 2002. Against this background, a community of interests was formed at the beginning of 2002 with the aim of rebuilding the historic archway of the castle from 1766 in Saarwellingen, which had been destroyed by the effects of the war, true to the original, thus enriching the building ensemble on Schloßplatz with a culturally and historically interesting object and thus the cultural identity of the citizens to promote with their home.

The financing of the faithful restoration of the archway could be raised entirely through donations from citizens and companies, other institutions as well as through the activities of the interest group. The work to rebuild the historic archway took place in the spring of 2003. A stone from Alsace was used for the construction, which is identical in texture and color to the original. In addition, the outside stairs were given a wrought-iron baroque railing.

The completion of the construction work was celebrated on May 24, 2003 with the participation of the two Saarwellingen fanfare trains "The Crichinger" and "The Hesebacher" in their historic Landsknechts uniforms.

Mining damage

The coal mining of Deutsche Steinkohle AG in the Primsmulde coal field (three-location concept of Saarbergwerke AG since 1988) also resulted in numerous mining-related earthquakes in Saarwellingen . From the Primsmulde Süd area, the company extracted well over half of its coal production in Saarland at the time. It employed around 3,500 miners there.

With the turn of the year 2007/2008 the frequency of the earthquakes increased noticeably. On January 3, 2008, an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.4 on the Richter scale was measured. The vibration speed, which is important for assessing the consequences, was 42.3 millimeters per second. On February 23, 2008, a collapse in the Primsmulde Süd mining field caused the largest earthquake in the history of Saarland. At a depth of 1,500 meters with the epicenter Bilsdorf , the quake reached a magnitude of 4.0. The rock's oscillation speed reached up to 93.5 millimeters per second. According to the police in Saarbrücken , there was property damage to buildings. The quake could be felt in the entire Saarlouis district. The protest movements against coal mining in the Primsmulde, which had been going on for some time, reached their peak immediately afterwards. As a result, on February 23, 2008, the Saarland state government under Prime Minister Peter Müller ordered a mining stop for the Saar mine . Hard coal production in the Saar mine ended on June 30, 2012 and thus after several centuries the hard coal production in Saarland ended.

On September 15, 2014, a mining-related earthquake with a magnitude of 2.7 occurred in Primstal, which was also felt as an explosive bang in Saarwellingen. The epicenter was in the area between Saarwellingen and Bilsdorf. However, the RAG rejected allegations that the shock was a result of the rise in pit water. (According to the RAG, the quake was strongest in Saarwellingen with a vibration speed of around 3.6 millimeters per second. The vibration speed at the Primsmulde shaft was 7.5 millimeters per second.) The cause of the quake was in the area of ​​the former Primsmulde mining area located at a depth of about 1400 meters.

The Saarwellingen Church of St. Blasius and Martinus was damaged in the quake.

Black wood

The Schwarzenholz lordship was owned by various lords in the 13th century. Vogt Hugo von Hunolstein bequeathed the tithe and the patronage of Schwarzenholz to the Fraulautern monastery in 1235 . Further shares of the power of the Knights of Thedingen came into the possession of the monastery in the 14th century. The Lords of Kastel held additional goods, who sold parts of them to the Fraulautern Monastery and transferred other parts to the Lords of Lewenstein as dowry . The Lords of Rathsamhausen and von Lichtenberg sold their shares to the Counts of Saarbrücken in the 16th century.

In addition to the Abbey of Fraulautern, the most important feudal sovereignty was the Counts of Saarbrücken, who in 1562 had also acquired Philip von Lichtenberg's shares in the rulership. In 1664, Count Gustav Adolf von Nassau-Saarbrücken gave his shares in Schwarzenholz to the Abbey of Fraulautern. However, only in a settlement on May 9, 1765, the women's monastery was able to achieve complete sovereignty over the area of ​​the direct imperial rule of Schwarzenholz.

Reisbach

Reisbach consists of the districts Labach and Reisweiler, which belonged to different territories until the French Revolution .

Labach was part of the Schwarzenholz rule and shared its history. Reisweiler, on the other hand, was part of the county of Saarbrücken .

With the regional reform of April 1, 1937, the two merging villages of Reisweiler and Labach were merged to form the new place 'Reisbach'.

North of Labach is the castle site of the "Old Castle" .

Territorial reform

On January 1, 1974, the current community of Saarwellingen was created through the merger of Reisbach, Saarwellingen and Schwarzenholz.

coat of arms

In 1726 Saarwellingen came to the County of Wied-Runkel, from whose coat of arms the double-tailed golden lion of the Saarwellingen community was awarded on September 10, 1951 by the Saarland government under Prime Minister Johannes Hoffmann as the community coat of arms . The coat of arms components of the former communities of Reisbach and Schwarzenholz are also shown on the community coat of arms: In blue a red-tongued golden lion with a double tail, accompanied by a five-spoke silver wagon wheel at the top right and a gold disc with an adjoining red anchor cross at the top left. The municipality colors are yellow-blue.

The coat of arms of the community of Saarwellingen, which was newly formed on January 1, 1974 from the former communities of Reisbach, Saarwellingen and Schwarzenholz, contains heraldic elements that were included in the coats of arms of the three previous communities. The lion from the coat of arms of the empire-direct rule Saarwellingen under the lords of Kriechingen in the 17th and 18th centuries comes from the earlier coat of arms of Saarwellingen. The spoked wheel is taken from the earlier Schwarzenholz coat of arms and refers to the empire-direct rule of the same name by the Abbey of Fraulautern . The disc with the anchor cross comes from the earlier Reisbach coat of arms, where the symbol can still be found on boundary stones. The anchor cross can be found in the Kriechinger coat of arms. In 1546 it was included in the family coat of arms of Kriechingen as the coat of arms of the Pittingen rule. The Kriechinger are the oldest feudal lords, whose symbols can be found on the boundary stones around Saarwellingen.

The coat of arms was designed by Alois M. Peter.

Partnerships

Culture and sights

Art in public space

  • Town hall fountain
Saarwellingen, town hall fountain

The fountain made of hand-hammered copper on the palace square in front of the town hall, created in 1983 by the Steines company in Bekond , Trier-Saarburg district , has four openings in the central fountain pillar from which water flows out through three increasingly larger, polygonal bowls the large, also polygonal collecting basin pours. In the opposite direction, bands develop from the fountain stand, which bend towards the fountain pillar, nestle against it and finally develop upwards into strongly profiled consoles. There is space on this for four figures representing four professions typical of Saarwellingen: miner, ironworker, farmer and market woman. Between them one recognizes the coats of arms of the formerly independent communities Saarwellingen, Schwarzenholz and Reisbach, as well as the coat of arms of the unified community Saarwellingen.

Saarwellingen Memorial

The memorial by an unknown artist, inaugurated in 1959 on a small square at the corner of Schlossstrasse and the corner of Eichbergstrasse, commemorates the military and civilian victims of the Franco-German War, the First World War and the Second World War. Of the five stele-like stone tablets set up next to one another, the middle and outer inscriptions, while the other two, bear pictorial representations. Dimly, reproduced only in engraved outlines and without faces, one of the reliefs shows a standing soldier in a steel helmet, holding a collapsing lifeless body of a man, and the other a woman with a widow's veil and two children. The inscriptions, which, in religious exaggeration, relate the death of the fallen to the Jesus' commandment to love one's neighbor, refer to the New Testament ( Jn 15.13  EU ) and read: "IT HAS / NO ONE / ONE GREATER / LOVE THAN / WHO HIS LIFE / DEVOTED FOR / HIS / FRIENDS "," 1939-1945 / 1914-1918 / 1870-1971 / THE COMMUNITY / SAARWELLINGEN / 1959 "and" TO THE / MEMORY / OF YOUR IN / THREE WAR / FALLEN / MISSING AND HOME TO SACRIFICE". The memorial was erected in place of the destroyed war memorial from 1870/71. The Saarland government gave a financial grant.

  • Damona figure in the town hall foyer

In the foyer of Saarwellingen's town hall, a small sculpture commemorates the partnership between the cities of Saarwellingen and Bourbon-Lancy , which was sealed in 1989. The bronze figure of Damona , the spring goddess of the Gallo-Romanesque town of Aquae Bormonis (today Bourbon-Lancy), sits beneath the framed documents hanging on the wall on a wooden plinth, which is also intended to evoke the Jumelage with the city's coat of arms and inscriptions . Sitting on her ringed fish tail, the goddess supports herself with her left hand on the base, while her right hand holds a winged mythical creature to her bare chest. The bronze sculpture is a gift from the municipality of Bourbon-Lancy ( Saône-et-Loire department ) to the municipality of Saarwellingen. It was created in 1989 by an artist near the Burgundian town.

  • Sculpture "Foundling with the polished granite band"

1986, granite, 2.40 x 2.00 x 1.80 m, Lachwald, Saarwellingen

The boulder designed by the sculptor Paul Schneider with an engraved poem text by the Austrian poet , translator and essayist Erich Fried was originally set up outside the now defunct police shooting range in the Saarwellingen Lachwald. The chiseled poem by Erich Fried "The Time of Stones" reads: "THE TIME OF PLANTS / THEN CAME THE TIME OF ANIMALS / THEN CAME THE TIME OF PEOPLE / NOW COMES THE TIME OF STONES / WHO HEARS THE STONES / KNOWS / IT ONLY STONES WILL STAY / WHO HEARS PEOPLE TALK / KNOWS / ONLY STONES WILL STAY ".

  • Sculpture "Saar without borders"

With financial support from Kreissparkasse Saarlouis and the Saarland Karlsberg Brewery , a sculpture was created in 1996 for the outdoor facilities of the Old Town Hall (Vorstadtstrasse 77) in Saarwellingen, which, after renovation and renovation work, found a new use as the community's cultural center in 1994. The two stones - they are two blocks of Lorraine Jaumont stone , a rock that is also called sunstone because of its warm, yellow color and smooth surface - were brought in raw and on the spot by the Lorraine stone sculptor Toun (Antoine Dihé ) processed. A sculpture was created under the working title "Saar without borders" which is intended to symbolize understanding and unification across borders. The two blocks stand next to each other at a distance of approx. 10 cm. The chiseled, sweeping (river) windings continue from one stone to another. Round openings in the stones invite you to shake hands through the openings.

education

In 1781 there was only one winter school in Saarwellingen. The lessons were given in the living room of the teacher, who also acted as sexton in the Saarwellingen church. Since 1772, classes have taken place in a house on Kirchengasse. At a later point in time, a house in front of the Saarwellingen church was bought up, but it fell victim to a fire in 1816 along with the village church and most of the village. After that, the former count's castle, which the municipal administration had bought in 1816, served as a schoolhouse.

By 1842, the number of students increased to 290 students who were to be taught in a single class. Because of this intolerable situation, a teacher was hired for the first time, who also gave the handicraft lessons for the girls. In the following period the number of students increased from 432 in 1874 to 959 in 1912. The number of classes increased from 5 to 12, so that in 1912 an average of 80 students per class were schooled. Full-day classes were held in the winter months and half-day classes in the summer months so that the children could help their parents with household chores and field work. In 1875 the community bought a building for the new fifth grade in Nalbacher Strasse near the market square. Two apartments for teachers, a teacher's apartment and a classroom were set up in this house. In addition, in 1877 the local council rented three rooms in Lebacher Strasse, also near the market square. Two rooms were set up as a school hall, the third room was occupied by a trainee teacher. In the years 1878/1879 the former castle building was expanded to include four classrooms, a teacher's apartment and basement rooms. In 1895 the hall of the Jewish school class was also occupied, so that from then on the Jewish students moved into a private house.

In the years 1902/1903 the community built a new schoolhouse in the Kappelgarten with four classrooms, whereby initially only three classrooms were occupied and the fourth and the other rooms were used as a teacher's apartment. In 1913 the construction of the forest school began, but due to the First World War it could not be completed until 1923.

In 1907, the Jewish synagogue community bought a house in Engelstrasse for 9,000 marks, which from then on served as a school and teacher's apartment. Due to the compulsion of the National Socialist rule, after the annexation of the Saar area to the German Reich in 1935, the Jewish community was forced to give up the building in 1936.

After the Second World War, the reconstruction of the Saarwellingen school building, which was partly badly damaged by artillery fire, began. The Kappel School (or Danube School) was 80% damaged, the Castle School 70–80% and the Forest School 15%. During the repair work, lessons were held in the ballrooms of the local inns. At the Danube School, classes were resumed on April 26, 1949. Due to the construction of the “Wald” district in the Saarwellingen Hochgerichtswald, a new school building was also necessary there. It was completed in 1955. Between 1963 and 1966 the twelve-class Gutbergschule was built. With the new building, the community had created the opportunity to clear the schoolhouse in the former count's castle. Saarwellingen currently has the following schools (without its districts):

  • Gutberg Primary School (with Gutberg and Kappel Schools)
  • Extended secondary school / community school "Schule an der Waldwies" (name since 2013)
  • District special school G (forest school)

There are secondary schools in the nearby district town of Saarlouis and in the neighboring towns of Dillingen and Lebach.

The Reisbach primary school is located in the Lohwiese and is called "Astrid Lindgren School". Since the beginning of the 2008/2009 school year, elementary school students from Schwarzenholz have been going to school in Reisbach. The primary school II (Ludwig-Geraldy-Schule) in the Bahnhofsstraße was closed.

In the area of ​​adult education, there is an adult education center in Saarwellingen and the Catholic adult education in the Saarlouis district (Dillingen) also offers numerous courses. There is also a music school.

There are the following kindergartens in the municipality of Saarwellingens:

  • Catholic Kindergarten St. Blasius, Saarwellingen
  • Catholic Kindergarten St. Pius, Saarwellingen
  • Integrative kindergarten run by Lebenshilfe Kreisvereinigung Saarlouis eV, Saarwellingen
  • Catholic Kindergarten St. Elisabeth, Schwarzenholz
  • Catholic Kindergarten St. Marien, Reisbach
  • "Kinderland" day care center in the Saarlouis district, Saarwellingen

Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

Road traffic

Saarwellingen is through five terminals of the Federal Highway 8 ( Luxembourg - Salzburg ) as well as the federal roads 269 ( Birkenfeld - Metz ) and 405 , which originated in the district forest takes and Bouzonville to Thionville leads to the national road network by not only Germany , but also well connected to France , Luxembourg, Benelux and Austria .

railroad

The nearest train stations are:

According to the plans of the municipal councils in 1888, the Dillingen-Primsweiler railway line was originally to run on the right bank of the Primsweiler. It was supposed to connect the Trier-Hermeskeil-Wemmetsweiler and Trier-Saarbrücken railway with a cross section. However, the railway administration decided on a route on the left side of the Primate. Construction work began in 1897 and was completed by 1901. For the communities of the Nalbach valley and the community of Saarwellingen there was now a Nalbach train station, which, however, was in the Saarwellingen district and a stop in Körprich. In June 1980 passenger traffic on the route through the Primstal was stopped. Freight traffic continues to run along the route as required. The Saarlouis-Saarwellingen tram lines and the Saarlouis-Dillingen-Nalbach line were closed in the 1950s in favor of bus transport.

Saarlouis main train station and Dillingen / Saar train station can be reached by public transport from Saarwellingen.

Furthermore, the Saarbahn stops in Eiweiler (Heusweiler) and Walpershofen can be easily reached from the districts of Reisbach and Schwarzenholz .

Transportation

The municipality is well networked by several lines of the roundabout companies and connected to the surrounding area. There are also some rail bus routes . There are several taxi companies in the area.

Airports in the vicinity

There are several airports within a radius of 100 km, of which are particularly worth mentioning:

Local businesses

The automotive suppliers Syncreon, HL Logistics and Facil as well as Saarcoating and DB Schenker operate production facilities in the industrial park . In addition, the company RESA (switchgear construction) and some Ford suppliers have settled in the John industrial estate . In the industrial area of thick forest, among others, a work that has chocolate factory Ludwig (Trade a. U. Trump , Schogetten, Mauxion ) settled.

The windows of the Obersalbach Church were designed by the English artist and university professor Brian Clarke in 1998 .

Jewish Cemetery

The Jewish cemetery in Saarwellingen , which was laid out in 1725, is one of the oldest Jewish burial places in Saarland. The cemetery was expanded in 1920. After the incorporation of the Saar area into Nazi Germany in 1935, the last burial took place in 1936 in the Saarwellingen Jewish cemetery. As part of the Reichspogromnacht in November 1938, the cemetery was desecrated by the National Socialists. In the last days of the war in 1945, the cemetery was leveled. After the collapse of the Nazi regime and the end of World War II , the cemetery was restored in 1950 by the newly founded Saar synagogue community and a memorial stone was erected from the fragments of destroyed tombstones that could no longer be assigned. Today there are only 37 grave sites left. The cemetery complex, located on a hill, is surrounded by a wall. Since the preservation measures at the Jewish cemetery by the Saarwellingen community were limited to green clippings for a long time, numerous damage resulted. The enclosing walls with the gate system, the stairs and paths as well as the still existing grave systems showed numerous structural damage. In 2010, the Society for Social Institutions of the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund was able to repair this damage on behalf of the Saar synagogue community. In 2010 the German Foundation for Monument Protection made funds available for the restoration of the Saarwellingen Jewish cemetery.
