Schlächtenhaus has been part of the municipality of Steinen in the Baden-Württemberg district of Lörrach since January 1st, 1975 . The municipal area of 7.53 square kilometers extends northeast of Steinen and connects the Wiesental with the Kandertal via the Scheideckpass .
Location and geography
The district Schlächtenhaus is divided into the village settlement Schlächtenhaus ( 386 m above sea level ) and the neighboring Hofen to the east, which is located on a flat hillside slightly higher ( 450 m above sea level ). The Heuberg farms ( 438 m above sea level ) and Klosterhof ( 437 m above sea level ) as well as the Weitenau monastery ( 350 m above sea level ) also belong to the district. The district borders Endenburg in the north, Weitenau in the east and Hägelberg in the southwest , and is thus almost completely enclosed by communities that also belong to Steinen. Only in the west is there a borderline with Kandern a few kilometers long .
Schlächtenhaus is located around six kilometers north of Steinen and can be reached via the state road 135, which follows the Steinen and Klosterbach. The L 135 forks in Schlächtenhaus westwards over the Scheideckpass to Kandern and leads eastwards to Hofen and on to Weitenau.
history
The oldest documentary mention of the Weitenau monastery, which belongs to Schlächtenhauser district, dates from 1100.
In 1344 the settlement was first mentioned as "the one in the valley". The village of Hofen was referred to as "Hovin" and the Heuberg as "on the Hovinberg". The comparatively few mentions suggest that the places only grew to a certain extent after the Thirty Years' War . The name Schlächtenhaus goes back to an originally poor property, a "bad house". Slaughterhouse is probably a former development settlement.
At the beginning of the 14th century, Schlächtenhaus belonged to the Vogtei and the sovereignty of the Margraves of Hachberg-Sausenberg , in 1503 to the Margraves of Baden and was part of the Landgraviate of Sausenberg. In 1809 it passed to the Kandern office and in 1819 to the Schopfheim office. Since 1936/39 it has belonged to the district of Lörrach .
In 1890 the Evangelical Church (Hofen) was built on the Hofener Buck in the neo-Gothic style, replacing the former Weitenau monastery church as a house of worship for the slaughterhouse.
Copper ore was mined in the Schlächtenhaus at the latest since the 17th century, probably already in the Middle Ages . In the first half of the 20th century, the mine was again the object of mining investigations. The 1,351,207 square meter field was developed as the “Heidelwerk mine”. Although the test showed that the mine would be profitable in principle, there were disagreements with the operator and the Badisches Bergbauamt. With the death of the operator in October 1937, operations came to a standstill.
On January 1, 1975, Schlächtenhaus was incorporated into stones as part of the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg .

Culture and sights
On a pass between Schlächtenhaus and Weitenau stands the Evangelical Church belonging to Hofen , which was built in the neo-Gothic style between 1890 and 1891.
The Steinen bird park was opened in 1980 . On an area of ten hectares, the park shows 300 animal species, in particular various bird species.
The former monastery of the Vogtei Weitenau was used for church services until the end of the 19th century, until it was replaced by the Evangelical Church of Hofen. It has been used by a specialist drug and alcohol therapy clinic since 1971 after a renovation.
In Schlächtenhaus, clubs and the population use the Steinenberghalle as a meeting and event location. This also includes a fire brigade companionship room and houses a youth room.
Most of the local associations (music, singing and women's associations) use the term "Schlächtenhaus-Hofen", some officially and some unofficially. In doing so, you take into account the fact that the two parts of the Schlächtenhaus district - in terms of population - are approximately the same size.
