Heumaden is a district of Stuttgart . It is located southeast of the city center and with 9,442 inhabitants (2014) is the largest district in the Sillenbuch district . The name Heumaden comes from hay , from the "Mahd" ; the coat of arms shows the crossed pitchfork and the rake.

Location Heumadens

The old town center of Heumaden seen from the south-east

Heumaden is located on a ridge on the northern edge of the Filder Plain, which slopes down in three directions (in the west to the Bußbach, in the north to the Tiefenbach and in the east to the Katzbach). Heumaden has merged with Riedenberg and Sillenbuch in the south and with the Lederberg district in the north . Extensive forest areas extend to the west and east with the Lederberg and the Steinklinge. Thanks to the Hedelfinger Filder driveway to the west of Heumaden, the district is largely free of through traffic.

In a location description from 1851, the location of Heumaden is described as follows:

"Heumaden is only one and three quarters of an hour southeast of Stuttgart, on the eastern edge of the Filderebene, on a flat ridge, gently sloping towards the Neckar valley, from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Neckar valley and the blessed, fruit-rich ridge of the Esslinger Höhe, located between the deeply cut stone blade and the even deeper Rohracker valley. "

history

Although a documented first mention of Heumaden shows the date July 10th, 1199, 1120 was established as the year of foundation.

Other sources mention the year 1277 for the first documentary mention under the historical name Heumadun .

Originally owned by the Lords of Nellingen, the town came to the County of Württemberg around 1250 . In 1449 Heumaden, which was already rich in fruit and vegetables at that time, was attacked by the imperial city of Esslingen. Four farmers were stabbed to death and three captured. 50 years later, Esslingen repeated the attack. The church was built during the subsequent reconstruction. In 1635, the plague raged in Heumaden, which was spread in Württemberg by marauding troops during the Thirty Years' War after the lost battle of Nördlingen . 86 people died as a result. In 1658 a school was founded, which became an elementary school in 1679. In the French War of 1796, Heumaden was attacked and looted seven times by Austria alone.

Heumaden belonged to the Stuttgart Office, from 1759 to the Stuttgart Upper Office , which did not change during the time of the Kingdom and the People's State of Württemberg until 1937.

The two world wars also left their mark on Heumaden. In the First World War, 50 percent of all Heumaden soldiers died. In 1944, during a single air raid during World War II, over 50 properties were destroyed. Because of the strategically favorable location of Heumaden, flak batteries stood in neighboring fields in both wars .

In 1922, a new residential area was opened up in the Heumaden district with the Lederberg settlement . On April 1, 1937, Heumaden was incorporated into Stuttgart and then run as an independent district. When the city of Stuttgart was divided into city districts in 1956, it was combined with Riedenberg and Sillenbuch to form the city district of Sillenbuch. The Lederberg district was added to the Stuttgart-Hedelfingen district.

In 1970, 850 years of Heumaden was celebrated.

At the end of the 1970s, Heumaden grew together through the development of the residential area Über der Straße with the two districts of Riedenberg and Sillenbuch.

economy

traffic

Heumaden is conveniently located between the center of Stuttgart and Stuttgart Airport (about six kilometers as the crow flies). Since Stuttgart still does not have an east bypass suitable for long-distance traffic , the debate about an expanded Filder driveway has been one of the city's major transport projects for many years . Originally the project was part of a planned motorway between Schwäbisch Hall , Stuttgart, Reutlingen and Ravensburg ( A 85 ), later the plans were concentrated on a mere connection between the B 10 in the Neckar valley and the A 8 on the Filder plain. This continuation of the existing B 312 was part of the federal transport plan , but has not yet been implemented for financial and political reasons. The main point of contention is the bypassing of the districts of Riedenberg and Hedelfingen.

Heumaden is connected to public transport with the U7, U8 and, during rush hour, the Stuttgart metro U15, as well as the 65 and 131 bus.

Culture and sights

The old evangelical church

The old town hall, a half-timbered house built in 1683, now serves as a town house.

The Protestant Old Church Stuttgart-Heumaden was built from 1499, rebuilt in 1666 and renovated in 1893. The Protestant parish Alt-Heumaden has around 1750 members, most of whom live in the old part of Stuttgart-Heumaden or in Lederberg . The parish includes a rectory built in 1772, as well as a new parish hall (on the site of the cemetery that was used until 1868), which stands next to the church and was consecrated on the first advent in 1979.

The Protestant parish of Heumaden-Süd has been independent since 1972. Your Gnadenkirche with community center on the corner of Bockelstrasse and Hedelfingener Filderauffahrt was inaugurated in 1964 and given architecture prizes as a modern church building. In September 1993, the parish hall was opened on Bernsteinstrasse. In 2020, however, both communities are to be merged.

The Catholic parish of St. Thomas More Stuttgart-Heumaden also has its church in Heumaden.

Stuttgart's oldest animal cemetery is located on Katzenbach, between Hedelfingen and Heumaden.
