Town hall in Hedelfingen, built in 1910 by city architect Adolf Hornung

Hedelfingen is a south-eastern district of the state capital Stuttgart on the left bank of the Neckar . It consists of the four districts of Hafen, Hedelfingen, Lederberg and Rohracker .

history

Hedelfingen around 1900

Hedelfingen was first mentioned in 1246. The dukes of Teck had goods in Hedelfingen, which may come from Zähringian genetic material. The rights that the monastery of St. Blasien , which was formerly under the Zähring Bailiwick, had on site, point to this. In the 12th and 18th centuries, Hedelfingen is said to have been supplied by a church in Weil bei Esslingen , which belonged to St. Blasien. Hedelfingen is spiritually in the 14th century as a branch of Nellingen , which also st. was called blasid. In the course of the administrative reform of the State of Württemberg in 1818, the community was assigned to the Cannstatt Upper Office, which was part of the Neckar District until its dissolution .

On December 21, 1910, with the inauguration of the new Hedelfingen town hall, the new Stuttgart – Hedelfingen tram line was opened.

On April 1, 1922, the wine-growing community was incorporated into Stuttgart and then run as a district. In the south Esslingen-Weil borders on Hedelfingen, in the west - already on the Filder Plain - Heumaden , followed by Wangen in the north; opposite on the right bank of the Neckar are Untertürkheim and Obertürkheim .

Hedelfingen is today an active wine-growing place with lots of greenery and great tradition. When the city of Stuttgart was divided into districts in 1956, the Hedelfingen district was combined with the Lederberg district, which was created in 1922 and originally belonged to the Heumaden district (incorporated with Heumaden in 1937) and the Rohracker district, which was incorporated into Stuttgart on April 1, 1937, to form the Hedelfingen district . When the Stuttgart districts were reorganized on January 1, 2001, another Hafen district was separated from the Hedelfingen district . This is where most of the Stuttgart Neckar Harbor, opened in 1958, is located with the Obertürkheim barrage .

Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

The scheduled tram operation and thus the connection to the Stuttgart suburb tram network took place on December 21, 1910 with line 16 from Schlossplatz via Gaisburg, Wangen to Hedelfingen. For goods traffic to the industrial area, Hedelfingen has a siding on the Stuttgart port railway .

Hedelfingen is a private exit of Interstate 10 (Karlsruhe - Stuttgart - Ulm), the rail -lines U9 (Hedelfingen - Hauptbahnhof - Vogelsang (- Botnang )) and U13 (Hedelfingen - Bad Cannstatt - Feuerbach ) and several bus lines (62 to Rohracker and Uhlbach, 65 to Heumaden and Obertürkheim and 103 to Esslingen) with good transport links.

Educational institutions

Hedelfingen has its own primary and secondary school, two kindergartens as well as a day-care center and an after-school care center with all-day care.

Leisure and clubs

The Musikverein Hedelfingen-Rohracker organizes concerts, takes part in district and club festivals and makes music on many other occasions.

The volunteer fire brigade Stuttgart - Hedelfingen department turned 125 years old in 2013. 58 men and women do their duty in the operations department, the youth fire brigade has 15 members. The fire brigade takes part in many events in the district, for example the Hedelfinger autumn, the Sunday shopping, the singing of Christmas carols, etc.

Attractions

The townscape is characterized by lovingly restored half-timbered houses, for example the half-timbered wine press of the Weingärtnergenossenschaft (built around 1600 by architect Heinrich Schickhardt ) and the "old house" from the 16th century, which is also used as a local museum.

The old parish church Hedelfingen (cemetery church) with its frescoes from the 15th century is worth seeing.
The almost 1,000 meter long Otto Hirsch bridges span the port and the Neckar.
In front of the cemetery wall on Hedelfinger Platz , a memorial stone commemorates Otto Hirsch , the Stuttgart legal adviser and later deputy head of the “Reich Association of German Jews” under President Leo Baeck in Berlin. On numerous trips and international conferences, he campaigned for the admission of emigrated German Jews to other countries - mostly without success. Despite being offered secure positions abroad, Hirsch stayed with his beleaguered co-religionists, was harassed, imprisoned and deported to Mauthausen concentration camp , where he died under unexplained circumstances.
