The Burgholzhof (formerly also Holzburg ) is a district of the Baden-Württemberg state capital Stuttgart . Together with the districts of Altenburg, Birkenäcker, Hallschlag , Neckarvorstadt and Pragstraße on the one hand and Cannstatt-Mitte, Espan, Im Geiger, Kurpark, Muckensturm, Schmidener Vorstadt, Seelberg, Sommerrain , Steinhaldenfeld, Veielbrunnen, Wasen and Winterhalde on the other hand, it forms the Bad Cannstatt district . The first group of districts is on the left, the "old Stuttgart" side of the Neckar. The Burgholzhof is partly used for military purposes by the US armed forces . Since the end of the 1990s, a 12.7 hectare new building area has been built there.
history
The name is derived from a wood that was previously located here and was first mentioned by name in 1574. Later the area was probably overexploited, which may have led to the havoc, because the Wolfersberger Heide was also mentioned . The court chamber and various communal and private owners shared the area in 1830. In 1838 the name appeared for the first time in the property registers. The court domain chamber as the private asset management of the Württemberg royal family acquired the Burgholzhof in 1852 from landowner Johannes Zeltmann for 30,500 guilders. Originally the domain comprised 82.4 hectares of land. It was leased to several members of the Aldinger family one after the other: Johannes (1852–1873), his widow Friederike (1873–1876), August (1876–1899), Maria and her sons Julius and Gustav (1899–1911) and Gustav Aldinger ( 1911-1928). In 1934 the court chamber sold 63 hectares of land to the Reichswehr Treasury as a parade ground; the remaining goods were leased individually. The remaining area of the domain was sold from 1974 to 1976 to the city of Stuttgart, the tenant of the remaining areas and the Robert Bosch hospital. In 1940, the Robert Bosch Hospital , located on the southwestern edge of today's district, was inaugurated, which had to move to a new building higher up on Burgholzhof between 1969 and 1973 due to a lack of space. In the old hospital complex, however, is now the Stuttgart police headquarters .
Large parts of the area have been used for military purposes since 1934. Initially, the Wehrmacht built the Flanders barracks and an infantry training area next to the manor . After the Second World War , the US military first used the barracks as a warehouse for displaced persons ; from 1948 the Robinson Barracks , an extensive residential area for American military personnel, were established there. In the 1950s, a housing estate was created for members of the military, along with a shopping center and school, as well as its own energy center, which made the barracks complex self-sufficient.
From 1993, the USA gave up part of the site, which made urban development of the area possible. In 1995 a competition for the use of the vacated areas was launched. Between 1998 and 2005, the area around the manor was built on in two construction phases; the last vacant building gap was closed in 2012. The newly built area at Burgholzhof covers 12.7 hectares. Around 1,100 residential units were built there, in which many young families with children live. Around a quarter of the residents are under 25 years of age, which is why Burgholzhof is one of the Stuttgart districts with the largest number of children and the lowest average age.
The Cannstatter Beautification Association had the Burgholzhof observation tower built in 1891 , which is still a popular excursion destination today. The manor, located in the middle of the settlement and now completely renovated, is home to a municipal day-care center, a community center, an ecumenical center and smaller local supply units. The street names of the new development area honor the Nobel Peace Prize winners Anwar as-Sadat , Mahatma Gandhi and Jitzchak Rabin as well as the former US Secretary of State James F. Byrnes for his Stuttgart " Hope Speech " from 1946. In addition, a square with a roundabout in front of the Robert-Bosch- Hospital named after the South African Nobel Peace Prize winner Albert John Luthuli . Since July 2013 there has been a bust of Gandhi on Mahatma-Gandhi-Strasse, a gift from the Republic of India to the city of Stuttgart.
