District of Stetten

Stetten ( Alemannic : Stette ) is the southernmost district of the city of Lörrach and until 1806 was an exclave in front of Austria and thus predominantly Catholic. On April 1, 1908, Stetten was the first district to be incorporated into Lörrach. It has an area of ​​461 hectares and around 13,000 inhabitants; This makes it the largest district of Lörrach in terms of inhabitants. In the south, Stetten borders on Switzerland .

Geography and location

Stetten is the southernmost district of Lörrach and borders directly on the Swiss municipality of Riehen in the south . Most of the settlement in Stetten lies in the valley floor of the Wiesental at around 300 meters above sea level. To the east, the wooded Leuselhardt Hill rises up to 420 meters above sea level. The western slope of the Leuselhardt is also populated. To the south of it rises the Maienbühl, the summit of which lies on the so-called Iron Hand in Switzerland. This part is sparsely populated and consists largely of meadows and agricultural land. Since the 1990s, this part (Stetten-Süd) has been expanded with new apartments and houses and has its own sub-unit with its own shops. One of the two connecting roads between Maienbühl and Leuselhardt leads to the satellite settlement of Salzert . To the north the core town of Lörrachs borders Stetten and to the west the Wiese river . The part of Stetten on the meadow is known as the Neumattsiedlung.

history

First documentary mention

The village of Stetten was first mentioned in the Egringen deed of donation 763, a deed of the St. Gallen monastery , as a Stetiheim . The actual foundation of the village is set around 100 years earlier. The Fridolin patronage was probably introduced in the 9th century. Since the 12th century the village was under the jurisdiction of the Lords of Rötteln . From 1280 to 1340 the lords of Stein were fiefdoms from Stetten and owned the Meierhof and the lower jurisdiction . In 1340 Rudolf von Schönau took over the management of the estate from the von Schönau family , who died in the battle of Sempach in 1386 . In 1391 his stepmother Anna received the Meieramt Stetten, which in 1402 became the property of Hermann von Wegenstetten and in 1407 that of Cunzmann von Ramstein. In 1409 Margrave Rudolf III vacated the building . von Hachberg-Sausenberg the abbess of the Säckingen monastery , Claranna von der Hohenklingen , the previously disputed right to the lower jurisdiction in the Zwing und Bann Stetten and vice versa the abbess recognizes the high jurisdiction of the margrave.

Early modern age

In 1440 the parish church in Stetten was built; the first pastor of Stetten known by name is Johann Staeheli, who is mentioned in 1482. In the 14th and 15th centuries the village was pledged several times to different feudal lords. a. several times also to the city of Basel . From 1559 to 1569, the governor of Rötteln, Albrecht von Anweil, tried to reform the church of Stetten several times.

Modern times

Map of Stetten (1893)

With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 Stetten was awarded to the state of Baden . The Fridolinskirche was built from 1821 to 1823, replacing the predecessor building, which had become too small. In 1872 the school building of today's elementary school was built on Hauptstrasse. The construction of the railway line Weil am Rhein – Lörrach between Stetten and Leopoldshöhe took place in 1890.

In the course of industrialization , which in Lörrach is mainly determined by the textile industry (→ Lörrach's way into industrialization ), the Neustetten workers' settlement was created in the 1880s in the district bordered by Schillerstrasse and Zeppelinstrasse.

Since the 20th century

The last mayor of Stetten was Fridolin Engel from 1901 until the voluntary connection to Lörrach in 1908. The integration of the community had previously been negotiated for four years. Stetten had resisted the incorporation twice and only wanted to allow Neustetten to be integrated into Lörrach.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the municipality had around 3900 inhabitants. The industrialization continues in 1920 with the construction of numerous enterprises a, including the Brickyard Lange and the foundry trikes. In 1927 the school house of the Fridolin School was rebuilt and between 1930 and 1945 further building areas between Altstetten and Lörrach were developed. The residential areas of Stetten-Süd, Neumatt, Bifang and Hammerstraße are built on from 1950. With these residential areas, the population of Stetten began to rise sharply from around 6,500 in 1950 to almost 11,500 in 1975. Until 1967, the Lörrach tram ran through Stetten.

Buildings

St. Fridolin's Church in Stetten

The Catholic St. Fridolins Church was completed in 1822 and, as a so-called Biedermeier church , contains both baroque and classicist elements. The architect in charge was the Weinbrenner student Christoph Arnold , to whom southern Baden owes numerous church buildings. Interestingly, his Rippoldsauer parish and pilgrimage church has a very similar front. In addition to the Rippoldsauer version, the Stettener is the only pure double tower church of the Baden Weinbrenner style .

The old town hall of Stetten is located on the church square opposite the St. Fridolins church. The building from 1825 was originally a tithe barn and from 1843 to 1908, the year Stetten was incorporated into Lörrach, the town hall of the then independent municipality. The listed building was renovated in 2003 and is now used commercially. Every Wednesday morning there is a market in front of the house on Rathausgasse.

The youth hostel of Lörrach is located east of the village center of Stetten in the direction of Salzert . The hostel consists of two buildings with an octagonal floor plan and a silver-colored tent roof . The opening took place on April 26, 1982 by the then Federal President Karl Carstens .

Stettener Schlösschen

The late Gothic Stettener Schlösschen (Alemannic: Stettemer Schlössli ) from 1666 once served as the administrative seat of the Säckinger Damenstift. The former manor house with an external stair tower is the only larger secular building from the 17th century in Stetten.

High-rise residential building Weitblick

In the south of Stetten there is 17 floors and 49.60 meters, which was the second tallest building in the district at the time of construction. The bright skyscraper used to be used as a hotel. It is now mainly used as an apartment building. The lower floors are still used as a hotel. The building also houses a bar and a restaurant.

In the south-west of Stetten in the Neumatt district stands the Heilige Familie branch church, which was built in 1965/66 according to the plans of the architect Wilhelm Frank and belongs to the parish of St. Fridolin. The church tower is separated ( campanile ) from the nave , which has the shape of a tent.

In the 2010s there was extensive redesign of the Neumatt district. In addition to the renovation of the existing living space, numerous completely new living spaces were also created. The most striking building is the 57 meter and 19 storey high- rise apartment building Weitblick , which is located directly on the German-Swiss border . It is the tallest residential high- rise in Lörrach and the third tallest in the city . Not far from the residential high-rise is the northern approach to Zollfrei Straße .
