geography
The Schillerwiese is located in the Danube arch at the northernmost point of the Danube , about one kilometer west of the old town of Regensburg in the western quarter at an altitude of about 335 m above sea level. NN. Today the Regensburg hydropower plant and the Pfaffenstein Danube bridge are in the immediate vicinity .
history
Until the 19th century there were lush pastures and meadows in the Danube bank area of today's Schillerwiese. The area was also called “cow meadow” by the population. The name Schillerwiese dates back to 1905, when the Regensburg Beautification Association planted numerous trees, including a Schiller linden tree, and a memorial stone was erected in honor of the 100th anniversary of Friedrich Schiller's death .
Until the 1930s, there were "bathing establishments" separated by sex on the Schillerwiesen, floating plateaus with wooden surrounds around the bathing areas within the Danube. While the Schillerwiesen are now embedded between the Danube and the surrounding buildings, there were only a few buildings in the direction of the old town at that time. It was not until 1933 that the Westheimsiedlung was built in the west of Schillerwiese and the Messerschmitt factory in 1937 . In the post-war period, in addition to the “bathing establishments”, the Danube beach on the Schillerwiesen was increasingly used for bathing by the Regensburg residents.
As a result of the construction of the Danube bridge, the weir system and the damming of the Danube in 1977, the bathing establishments disappeared. It was not until the turn of the millennium that a citizens' initiative achieved the renaturation of the shore zone, which again resulted in bathing bays on the banks of the Danube towards the west. Thus, from the Danube Park to the “Baggerweiher”, a green area lined with works of art and the largest park in the city of Regensburg was created .
The densely overgrown eastern area of the Schillerwiese, right next to the Regensburg City Gardening Office, is today a paradise for bats . A street near the Danube Cycle Path bears the name "An der Schillerwiese" to this day.
