Schwefel is one of the eleven districts of Hohenems in Austria in Vorarlberg in the Dornbirn district .
Origin of name
The district of Schwefel (formerly also: Schwebel ) is named after the sulfur spring located here (see also: sulfur bath ).
history
The district of Schwefel was for a long time a hamlet that was quite separate from Hohenems .
Traces of settlement can already be detected here in pre-Roman times. In 1873 the largest lance tip so far in Vorarlberg was found here, which was assigned to the Hallstatt period (around 800 to 450 BC). In the nearby Roßmahd a bronze needle was found in 1887, which can be assigned to the early Urnfield culture ( late Bronze Age , around 1300–800 BC).
The “Roman Road” still shows the importance of sulfur as a transit route thousands of years ago.
In 1842, operations in the Rosenthal textile factory were significantly expanded, expanded to include the entire building of the previous sulfur bath and new buildings were constructed, making it the most important regional employer.
In the “General National Calendar for Tyrol and Vorarlberg”, 22 houses and 26 families with a total of 116 people are listed in Schwefel for 1825.
Topography, geography, location and traffic
The district of Schwefel ( 420 m above sea level ) is about 1 km from the center of Hohenems and borders directly on the municipality of Altach in the west and on the municipality of Götzis in the south .
The main connection from north-east to south-west runs through the district of Schwefel, the L 190 (here called "Kaiser-Franz-Josef Strasse").
In “Schematismus für Tirol und Vorarlberg” (1839) sulfur is mentioned as an independent hamlet and part of Hohenems. Also in the "Provinzial-Handbuch von Tirol und Vorarlberg for the year 1847".
Waters
The Schwefelbach rises on the mountain below the Bodner. It is largely piped in Jägerstraße, emerges again below the house Jägerstraße 13 and drains, flowing from north-east to south-west, in an almost straight line to the municipality of Altach, whereby the stream is also largely piped in the lower area.
The Schwefelbach flows into the Bützenbach (later called Hohenemserach) at about 1.96 kilometers of water, which forms the municipal boundary to Altach here. At water kilometers 0.47 (within the Otten business area) the water flows from the Otten power plant into the Schwefelbach.
Craft, trade
After the sulfur bath was sold on January 31, 1800 for 14,000 guilders to the kk court factor Wolf Josef Levi (1746–1823, Levi called himself Benjamin Löwengard from 1813), his son, Isaak Löwengard (1769–1839), took over the right half of the house was converted into a cotton mill and bathing was limited to the left half of the house. The bathhouse and the cotton mill was sold in 1841 to the firm Gebrüder Rosenthal (later Hohenems weaving and printing Josef Otten), who stopped the bathing in this and for a "Cotton- and Tücheldruckerei" einrichteten. a little later a Turkish red dye factory.
The Rosenthal brothers' textile manufacture with printing, dyeing, spinning, embroidery and the necessary power station was built around the old bathhouse. Today there is the “Otten Business Park” (also “Otten” for short).
To the north of the sulfur, to the hamlet of Weiler, there was the Kästle ski factory , which was also an important employer.
In the far southern part of Schwefel, behind the Jewish cemetery on the outskirts of Götzis, there was a small quarry with a lime works.
In the western part of the sulfur, to the district of farmers, there are still large reed areas that are used for agriculture.
The sulfur had an above-average number of inns, but most of them are no longer in operation today.
religion
hike
The Schwefelberg located above the district is a popular short hiking route (walking path).
particularities
The Jewish cemetery is located in the Schwefel district .
The Schwefelbadstrasse and the “Bad” plot are still reminiscent of the very important spa operations at the sulfur spring. The house built in 1902/1903 on Landesstrasse 190 with the inscription: "1430 SCHWEFEL-BAD 1930" has since been demolished in favor of a shopping center.
