Schlawerie (Neunkirchen)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Schlawerie or Schlaverie ( ʃlɐvəˈʁiː ) is the informal name for a place to live in Neunkirchen (Saar) . The "so-called Schlabery" on Sinnerthaler Weg first appeared in 1765. Other residential areas with the same name, some of which only a few reports are available and which mostly do not appear on official maps, are dealt with under Schlawerie .

history

The development of this Neunkirchen district not far from the "Oberschmelz" is still in the dark. The tenants of the Neunkircher Eisenwerk had built a second smelter on the Sinnerbach around 1750 , which was also called Neue Schmelze or Obere Schmelze. This new plant on the boundary of Wiebelskirchen had a blast furnace with two large bellows, a sand foundry, a molding house, an ore wash, a coal scrubber and three workers' apartments. It is believed that the Schlawerie was "a kind of alternative settlement" for workers from Oberschmelz. The branch is first mentioned in a description of the Ottweiler rule from 1765 as the "so-called Schlabery". The addition “so-called” is to be interpreted as an expression of the not yet fully naturalized name. The spell book from 1770 lists "gardens and coal burner and ore grave huts" as a sovereign property. In 1784 the manorial land was sold to the residents "auf der Schlawerie" and divided into seven equal parcels to seven named owners. The small settlement grew into a hamlet and is run in 1847 with 15 houses and 119 inhabitants, in 1912 as a colony with 246 inhabitants.

The Schlawerie settlement belonged to the Niederneunkirchen community in the 19th century . According to a request from the Royal Prussian Government, the local council of Niederneunkirchen decided on March 25, 1890, to withdraw the Schlawerie from its area of ​​responsibility and reintegrate the Schlawerie into the community of Neunkirchen (Oberneunkirchen). This made the Schlawerie an enclave in Niederneunkirchen (or an exclave of Oberneunkirchen).

The decline of the district began with the construction of the Saarbrücker Bahn in 1848, which cut the Schlawerie into two parts. In 1911, the large marshalling yard of Neunkirchen main station was built and the northern part of the settlement was built over. The remaining southern part with the Schlawerieschule was badly hit by the gasometer explosion on February 10, 1933 . A teacher's wife and two school children died. In the major attack on the railway facilities on May 27, 1944, 43 people were killed, including an unknown number on the Schlawerie. The old building fabric is no longer preserved here.

The locomotive master Philipp Wingert published an article about the Schlawerie in 1936 in the "Neunkircher Hüttenzeitung", referring to the stories of old people, in which the origin, the appearance and poverty of the residents and the poor furnishings of their simple huts and their simple furniture were discussed.

Surname

The interpretations of the name Schlawerie all agree on the assumption that the final stress and the suffix series point to a French word component. In the French language the suffix -erie means “repeated activity”, “place of an activity” ( boulanger 'baker', boulangerie 'bakery'). The suffix also became productive in German as -erei (baker, bakery). There are different interpretations of the basic word “Schlaw (e)”. The local scholars recognized the popular name “Slav” in it, as early as 1909. In the field name dissertation by Prince in 1927, the term “sleep” (for sleeping house) is assumed in the basic word. In 2001 Petto weighed up between French “esclave” and German “Schlave” (a subsidiary form of slave) and decided on “Schlave”. Finally, Fried brings "Enclave" into play. “Exklave” would be more compatible with the volume.

Since only Petto's approach is justified, it is explained here: French “esclave” (slave) forms the exotic local form “esclaverie” (slave house). The German equivalent "Sklave" and the associated verb "sklaven" (to work hard) have subsidiary forms with a similar meaning "Schlave" and "Schlaven". The Rhenish dictionary names a meaning of "slavery" as' poor man who always has to work hard ', also' woman who has many children and the like. therefore has to struggle very hard, which is badly treated by her husband 'and the use for Saarbrücken . Petto interprets the presence of the French suffix as a kind of mockery.
