history

A settlement of the area in Roman times between 74 AD and the early 2nd century is documented by the discovery of a brick kiln .

Seckenheim was mentioned for the first time in 766 in the Lorsch Codex , there a total of 64 times in several spellings. The origin of the place name has therefore not been conclusively clarified; probably is "home of Sikko" and therefore of Franconian origin.

Until 1247 it belonged to the Lorsch Monastery and thus to the Archbishop of Mainz . Then after a violent feud it fell to the Count Palatine Otto II. In 1274 there was a court for the first time. Around 1439 Seckenheim was a wealthy village with 450 inhabitants. On June 30, 1462, during the Baden-Palatinate War, southeast of today's district, the battle of Seckenheim took place , in which Elector Friedrich I decisively defeated his neighbors Margrave Karl von Baden , Bishop Georg von Metz and Count Ulrich von Württemberg and secured his supremacy could.

During the Thirty Years' War , Seckenheim fell to Kurmainz in 1623 and only returned to the Electoral Palatinate in 1651 after the Bergstrasse Recess . In 1682 Friedrichsfeld was founded in the Seckenheim area . In 1768 Freiherr von Stengel built the Seckenheimer Schloss , the park on the Neckar and south of the Stengelhof (today in Mannheim-Rheinau). At the beginning of the 19th century, Napoleon's illegitimate son Léon Denuelle lived here temporarily .

In 1786 there were 1,098 inhabitants. Together with the Electoral Palatinate on the right bank of the Rhine, Seckenheim became Baden in 1803 . The station was built in 1876. The Hochstätt settlement was subsequently built around it . In 1891 the steam-powered narrow-gauge railway Mannheim – Heidelberg was built through the Seckenheimer Hauptstraße, which later became the Upper Rhine Railway .

In 1873, the Rheinau chemical factory was built in the Seckenheim district . A settlement developed around them that developed rapidly (including the Rheinau port ). In 1910 Seckenheim had 5,754 and Rheinau 3,950 inhabitants. This area was separated in 1913 and incorporated into Mannheim. As compensation, Seckenheim received the 225 hectare Kloppenheim field.

In 1911 Seckenheim received a water tower , popularly known as Glatzkopp . Construction of the Neckar Canal began in the 1920s . As a result, the actual Neckar often had so little water that it could no longer be navigated by boats. In 1927, the arch bridge to Ilvesheim was therefore built. In 1930 Seckenheim was incorporated into Mannheim after long negotiations.

The first residential buildings were built in Suebenheim in 1931 . After the Second World War, the United States Army took over the Seckenheim barracks , as well as the former Reichsautobahn restaurant. From 1980, new building areas were developed in the west and south of Seckenheim.
