Schwalbach am Taunus is a town in the Main-Taunus district in southern Hesse .
geography
location
Schwalbach am Taunus is located in the Vordertaunus , directly on the western city limits of Frankfurt am Main . Schwalbach is an important residential and commercial location in the suburban area of Frankfurt. Almost half of Schwalbachers live in the Limesstadt , a large housing estate built between 1962 and 1973 .
City structure
The urban area only includes the district Schwalbach (Gmk.-Nr. 60553).
climate
As is common in western Germany, Schwalbach has an Atlantic climate with warm summers and mild winters. In the summer half-year (due to thunderstorms) there is slightly more rain than in the winter half-year (more land rain). The annual average temperature is 9.5 degrees Celsius. 550 millimeters to 600 millimeters of precipitation fall each year.
Through the north of Schwalbach by running Taunus -Hauptkamm occurs in northerly winds, especially in north-west wind, the formation of hair . When it is strong, the clouds in Schwalbach are loosened, and it is raining from Eschborn- Süd in the direction of Frankfurt.
Geology and soils
Geologically, the smaller northern part of Schwalbach still belongs to the Vordertaunus , while a larger southern part belongs to the Main-Taunus foreland. In the northern area there are very dense, heavy clay soils that tend to waterlogging ; in the southern part there are rather good and not so dense arable soils.
fauna and Flora
Oak and hornbeam forests are typical for this area , they also shape the Schwalbach forest. The streams line black alder , willow and ash . Conifers are not native to Schwalbach without exception. On the other hand, hardwoods such as the sweet chestnut , but also cherry , maple and oak find good site conditions ; the conditions for fruit growing are favorable. In the north of the district there are larger, ecologically very valuable meadow areas . 59 species of birds breed in Schwalbach ; 32 butterfly , 18 dragonfly and seven amphibian species were observed.
Nature and landscape protection
In Schwalbach am Taunus, areas of 18.5 hectares are now under nature and landscape protection . Almost three quarters of these areas are meadows, for example meadow orchards and brook bank meadows , the rest are field trees and riparian forests. The Schwalbacher Wald is a Bannwald and is therefore subject to the greatest possible protection - just like the arboretum.
Main-Taunus Arboretum
Around 600 different tree and shrub species grow in the approximately 75 hectare Main-Taunus Arboretum . While tree parks usually consist of a collection of individual trees - with a name plate and designation of origin - the state of Hesse has created a completely different tree park with the arboretum . Here different forest areas of the earth are represented by a group of trees and bushes, just as they occur as a forest in nature. The arboretum also surrounds the former US base: "Camp Phoenix". Nowadays this base is used as a training ground for the technical relief organization and the dog squadron.
Neighboring communities
Schwalbach borders in the north on the cities of Königstein im Taunus and Kronberg im Taunus (both Hochtaunuskreis ), in the east on the city of Eschborn , in the south on the independent city of Frankfurt am Main and in the west on the municipality of Sulzbach (Taunus) and the city of Bad Soden at the Taunus .
history
Early settlement
The historic town center was, as excavations in the early 1960s revealed, settled in the Neolithic , Roman and Merovingian times. A visible evidence of this pre-Schwalbacher settlement is the Roman stone of the four gods found in 1839, which was the foundation of a Jupiter column. Therefore one can conclude that an old Roman manor was located in this area. In 1983 further remains of the farm were discovered 700 m away from the place where the stone was found on the swimming pool meadow. Traces of Franks have also been found in Schwalbach. A " Franziska " was found while building a house in today's Gärtnerweg . This is a battle ax commonly used by the Franks. It is therefore believed that this is an old burial site.
middle Ages
As in most of the other "Bach" places in the area, the actual village was founded in the Carolingian era . The first surviving mention of a villa Sualebach comes from a deed of donation to the Lorsch monastery from the year 781. Starcfrit donated 70 Joch fields, land and meadows to the monastery. Further evidence of the village of Schwalbach comes from the following years from 782 to 789. The name Sulbach appears in a document from 782 . For centuries Schwalbach remained a rural village with 200 to 300 inhabitants. The earliest evidence of the name of Schwalbach comes from the year 1237. A certain gentleman named Hartmut von Schwalbach was summoned as a witness for a trial.
Since the 13th century, the village of Schwalbach was also under the rule of a bailiff , who had his seat in Schwalbach Castle . Furthermore, the first church was built in Schwalbach in the same century. However, it is not possible to determine exactly when it was built. The first mention of this church comes from the year 1285, which stood at the old cemetery. In 1439 the village of Schwalbach lost its castle rights to Frankfurt . As a result, it was no longer under the protection of the free imperial city . Until 1535 the village was under the rule of the Eppsteiner . After their extinction, Schwalbach came to the Stolberger . Count Ludwig zu Stolberg confessed to the Protestant faith and thus changed the church conditions in his country, which also made Schwalbach Protestant . After his death in 1574, his brother Christoph von Stolberg succeeded him. In 1581 there was a violent legal dispute between the Stolbergers and Kurmainz over the claim to the land. The Kurmainzer troops besieged the Königstein Castle and thus forced Count Albrecht-Georg, already the second successor of Ludwig von Stolberg, to give up. However, the evangelical faith was initially able to persist.
Early modern age
This was only changed under Elector Johann Adam von Bicken . This sought a return to the Catholic faith across the country. In August 1604 the Catholic faith was reintroduced in Schwalbach. During the Thirty Years' War the Stolbergers were able to re-establish themselves for a time, but nothing changed in the Schwalbach conditions. On June 20, 1622 the troops of General Tilly and Duke Christian von Braunschweig faced each other near Höchst . When Duke Christian von Braunschweig's troops withdrew, many villages in the Vordertaunus, such as Bad Soden , Sulzbach and Schwalbach, were destroyed. The Schwalbach Castle was also largely affected. In 1635 Schwalbach came under the rule of the Lords of Königstein , who in turn belonged to the Electorate of Mainz . The appointed bailiffs had a local seat in Schwalbach Castle. The castle was then rebuilt by 1660 and could again serve as the official residence of the Mayor of Mainz . In 1668 Schwalbach had 174 residents who were housed in 48 houses. In the middle of the 18th century, between 1754 and 1756, the St. Pancras Church was built. In 1792 a school was built in Schwalbach, near the old town hall.
19th century
Until 1806 the village still belonged to the Kurmainz area. After its dissolution, Schwalbach came to the Duchy of Nassau . This was the serfdom of the peasants resolved. Between the years 1795 and 1812 Schwalbach incurred war costs. First the Prussian troops took their toll, then from 1797 the French troops. In total, costs of up to 6,800 guilders were incurred by 1812. By 1835 the population had increased to 622 people. This also required more space in the school building. In 1833 the construction of a completely new school building began outside the village on the so-called "Rothen Wiese". Construction was completed in 1835. In 1843 Schwalbach had 703 inhabitants.
After the annexation of the Duchy of Nassau by Prussia in 1866, Schwalbach came to the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau and from there to the Obertaunus district . The 1865 census recorded 933 villagers. In 1897 the school building got its present appearance. The right wing with the bell tower was built. At the turn of the century, the church in the town center was renovated. In the course of industrialization , starting in the 1870s, the Schwalbach economic structure changed. While the place previously lived almost exclusively from agriculture, many Schwalbachers now found their livelihoods in the neighboring towns of Rödelheim , Bockenheim or Höchst am Main as workers in the factories that were being built.
20th century
During the First World War , Schwalbach had to give three of its four bells for metal donation. In 1920 the "Building and Settlement Association" was founded. He planned the first modern housing estate in Schwalbach on the large Rohrwiese. The first houses were completed in 1924. Due to the expanded economic base, as everywhere in the Vordertaunus, the number of inhabitants is also increasing. In 1925 Schwalbach had 1500 inhabitants. In 1928 the municipality of Schwalbach became part of the newly founded Main-Taunus-Kreis with its seat in Höchst am Main. In 1930 Schwalbach got its official name Schwalbach am Taunus .
During the Second World War , Schwalbach was also targeted by Allied bombers. The community was hit four times. On September 25, 1944 alone, the heaviest attack, 24 people died and 14 houses were completely destroyed. The water house opposite the old school was also destroyed, causing the water supply in the village to collapse. A total of 143 Schwalbach soldiers died in the war.
The first mayor after the war was Peter Scherer from the SPD. From 1948 the CDU provided the mayor. In 1956 Schwalbach had 3300 inhabitants. The suburbanization in the 1960s and 1970s led to a further, even stronger growth in the number of inhabitants in the whole of the Vordertaunus. This happened in Schwalbach in extreme form through the construction of the Limes city , the second largest large housing estate in the Rhine-Main area by the Nassauische Heimstätte . At the time construction began, Schwalbach had around 4,000 inhabitants, and the new settlement was designed for 10,000 people. The Limes city turned the small Vordertaunus community into a modern suburb on the outskirts of the metropolis of Frankfurt. In 1970 the Limes Railway was opened by Federal Transport Minister Georg Leber .
On April 14, 1970 the community Schwalbach a. Ts. Granted the right to use the designation city by the Hessian state government .
During the regional reform in Hesse from 1972 to 1977, the rapidly growing Schwalbach was able to maintain its independence. In 1978 the city was connected to the new Frankfurt S-Bahn network . In 1981 the city celebrated its 1200th anniversary. Since the 1990s, the residential suburb has also developed into an important commercial location, especially as the German headquarters of large foreign corporations.
21st century
In 2003 discussions were held mainly in Schwalbach about a voluntary community merger with the neighboring communities of Eschborn, Sulzbach and Bad Soden as well as Steinbach (Hochtaunuskreis), but these were not implemented. Instead, the mayors of the above-mentioned, overgrown municipalities agreed on the goal of closer cooperation between their administrations. Larger joint projects are still outstanding.
politics
Schwalbach was ruled from 1988 to 2006 by a coalition of SPD , FDP and Independent List (UL). Since the local elections in 2006, the CDU and B90 / Greens have formed a coalition in the city council. Christiane Augsburger (SPD) was elected mayor for the first time in 2008 and was confirmed in her office in 2014.

Coat of arms, city logo
Blazon : in gold an upright black swallowtail, above a six-pointed red star.
The coat of arms was officially awarded in its current basic design in 1953 and goes back to the swallowtails and swallow wings that have been found on border stones of the village mark and court seals since 1725 . The fact that the coat of arms originally showed the Y-shaped confluence of the Waldbach and Sauerbornsbach to the Schwalbach is considered a misinterpretation. The star has been in the coat of arms since 1804.
In addition to the city coat of arms, a city logo with two stylized green arches was introduced in 2002 to remind of the Taunus .
