Stotternheim is the largest district of Erfurt in terms of area . The village with around 3500 inhabitants is located about three kilometers north of the outskirts of Erfurt and about nine kilometers north of the city center (Anger). Stotternheim became famous through a legend relating to Martin Luther . The place experienced an initial boom after the railway connection in 1881, which caused a surge in industrialization. Due to the reunification, the incorporation to Erfurt in 1994 and a wave of suburbanization in the 1990s, Stotternheim changed from an industrial and agricultural location to a residential suburb. Today, along with the Erfurt lakes, it is also important as a local recreation area for the urban population.

geography

Stotternheim is located in the Thuringian Basin at an altitude of about 170 meters. The terrain is flat and only rises a little in the east to the 222 meter high Gallows Hill. Forests do not exist in the local area; instead, agricultural use dominates. The Schmale Gera runs west of the village , while the Erfurt Lakes run from north to south to the east of Stotternheim . In detail, these are the large and small Ringsee in the north, the Luthersee, the Stotternheimer See and the mine ponds in the middle and the Schwerborn lake in the south. The lakes are created by flooding the former Stotternheim gravel pits, although the flooding has not yet been completed. The Stotternheim lido is an open-air swimming pool on the Stotternheimer See .

Neighboring towns are Alperstedt in the north, Großrudestedt and Schwansee in the northeast, Udestedt in the east, Schwerborn in the southeast, Erfurt in the south, Mittelhausen in the southwest and Nöda in the northwest.

history

At Stotternheim, the largest ceramic burial ground in Thuringia (60 graves with rich additions) from the Neolithic period was uncovered between the town and the 71 motorway , along with fortification trenches, shafts and pits. One of the old names of the village of Stutirheim could mean Stutenheim as a reference to a center for horse breeding.

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1088 in connection with a Mr. von Stotternheim. 1269 destroyed the city of Erfurt , the Wasserburg Stotternheim , which had become the "Raubschloss" of the "robber barons Stotternheim" and took over the place as the first Erfurt village. From 1362 to 1605 members of the von Stotternheim family were lords of the moated castle of Günthersleben . The von Stotternheim family moved to Erfurt and hired a number of outstanding personalities there. Job von Stotternheim became the richest citizen of the city as a huntsman . At the beginning of the 17th century he was councilor several times and built the renaissance building Stotternheimsches Palais in Erfurt. Otto von Stotternheim was twice rector of the University of Erfurt. The cultivation of woad played a major role in Stotternheim.

According to a legend, Martin Luther was hit by a heavy thunderstorm in a field near Stotternheim on July 2, 1505, which is said to have induced him to become a monk . He then switched from law to theology at the University of Erfurt and entered the Augustinian monastery . The Lutherstein east of Stotternheim reminds of this legend.

In 1699, Stotternheim was destroyed in a fire, in 1791 there was another fire that destroyed 74 houses. The Protestant church was consecrated in 1704. Between 1795 and 1800 the Schwansee was drained. In 1802, Stotternheim and Erfurt became Prussian after it had previously belonged to Kurmainz together with Erfurt . From 1806 to 1814 it was part of the Napoleonic principality of Erfurt . At the war against Napoleon 1813/14 also Stotternheimer volunteers participated. In 1815 it was decided at the Congress of Vienna to transfer Stotternheim and Schwerborn from the Gispersleben office together with the eastern and south-eastern Erfurt area to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . Until 1920 it belonged to this state or to the Free State of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach ( Office Großrudestedt or administrative district Weimar ). After that, Stotternheim became part of the newly founded state of Thuringia , which meant that the Thuringian-Prussian state border ran between the village and Erfurt until 1945. Then in 1952 Stotternheim came to the district of Erfurt-Land .

Rock salt was extracted in Stotternheim between 1828 and 1950 . In 1847 the “Louisenhall” brine bath (named after the Weimar Grand Duchess Luise ) was opened. In 1887, the “Neuhall” saltworks produced brine for rock salt extraction for the first time. The Sangerhausen – Erfurt railway through Stotternheim was opened in 1881. In 1895 Stotternheim received a telephone connection and in 1902 an electricity connection. In 1900 the place had 1,471 inhabitants. In 1934, the community built an exemplary outdoor swimming pool with a lot of personal contribution. The spa and bathing operations in Louisenhall were discontinued in 1943 due to the war.

On April 11, 1945, Stotternheim was occupied by US troops . They shot 13 German soldiers who had "picked up" them in the old salt works.

In early July 1945 the Americans were replaced by the Red Army , and Stotternheim became part of the Soviet Zone . Looting took place in the brine bath.

Baron Hans Heinz von Wangenheim was expelled from his estate in July 1945 and expropriated. The Siedelhof was a half-timbered building with valuable art collections and a library, which was erected after a fire in a centuries-old predecessor building in 1791, was expanded several times, and contains valuable art collections. The manor park was cut down. The building then fell into disrepair and was demolished in the 1970s. The Neuhall salt works (owned by the Eberhardt brothers) was expropriated and shut down in 1949.

In 1952 the Catholic Church was consecrated and the parish of St. Marien was founded. Many Catholics came to Stotternheim and the surrounding area with refugees and displaced persons. In the 1960s, a number of blocks were built in the typical style of AWG residential buildings ( old new buildings ). In 1959/60 the chimneys of the salt works and the houses of the boiling and bathing attendants were removed. In 1980 the punk band Schleim-Keim was founded in Stotternheim, which mainly performed in churches.

After the fall of the Wall in 1990, new residential areas were created. In 1994 the outdoor swimming pool (from 1934) was renewed, only to be closed in 2003. In 1994 Stotternheim was incorporated into the state capital Erfurt.

Population development

Stotternheim was one of the larger villages in the Erfurt area as early as the 19th century. Since the connection to the railway network in 1881 and the ensuing industrialization, the population has increased rapidly, only to be relatively constant at around 3,000 after the Second World War. After reunification, the town's population decreased briefly, but strong suburbanization began as early as the early 1990s. With the completion of this process, the population of Stotternheim in 1999 reached a high of 3,682. Since then it has decreased slightly again.
