The Wallenmahd ( Dornbirnisch : " Wallamahd ", 430 m above sea level ) is a residential and business area and also includes essential agricultural land on the southwestern municipal boundary of Dornbirn to Hohenems ( Unterklien ) and is part of the 2nd district of Hatlerdorf in the state of Vorarlberg in Austria . The Wallenmahd is about 2.5 km as the crow flies from the city center (school) or about 3.5 km (business areas).
The development from smallholder structures and rural residential areas to a mixed and industrial area did not take place until the 19th century and continues to this day.
The large housing estate Bremenmahd , which was built in the 1960s and 1970s, is one of the largest closed settlement areas in Dornbirn. Its construction resulted in the 1970s and the construction of an independent elementary school for the Wallenmahd which subsequently also students of the districts clutches and Bachmähdle , which can also be counted as Wallenmahd recorded.
Word meaning and language boundary
In contrast to the late settlement for residential purposes, the name Wallenmahd can be traced back to the year 1530. This year the name "Walchsmahd" appeared in the land registry of the Landsknechtführer Merk Parakeet, which suggests the agricultural properties of a man named Jäk Walch. The place name, which historically can be located very precisely in the area of today's FÄNGEN settlement in the western area of Wallenmahd, is now used as an area name for large parts of the settlement area in the south of Dornbirn.
The meaning of “Walla” (Vorarlberg dialect) cannot be clearly assigned. Werner Vogt suspects that the word can be derived from "whale" or "whale" (= welsch ). See also: " Walen " (Venediger). The field or area name Wallenmahd “roughly illustrates the former border between the Alemannic and the ' Walschen ' or Rhaeto-Romanic population in the Rhine Valley, because even after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the Rhaeto-Romanic element remained south of the Wallenmahd for a long time. In the 6th and 7th centuries, the Alemanni had expanded the settlement of the Rhine Valley towards the south to the Wallenmahd. Hohenems is usually assumed to be the border between Alemanni and Rhaeto-Romanic at that time. This is how the Rhine valley was around 700 AD. In terms of population and rulership, it is divided into an Alemannic lower region and a Romansh upper region ”.
The last part of the word "mahd" refers to mowing , the centuries-old agricultural management of this area.
history
Up until the second half of the 18th century, Dornbirn was not on the main routes of traffic from north to south. The Wallenmahd was first developed as a business and residential area through the Post and Commercialstrasse 1768/1769 with a high-performance road for manual and tension services . Until then, the old country road led between Hohenems and Haselstauden via Haslach , Mühlebach , Achmühle, Oberdorf , Steinebach and Kehlen to Haselstauden (Römerstraße) and was partly at risk of falling rocks (see Breitenberg ). A “new” road built in 1530/1540 from the Sägerbrücke over the Bäumlegasse / Hanggasse was not yet sufficient for the economic development of Dornbirn and Wallenmahd.
In the " Provinzial-Handbuch von Tirol und Vorarlberg for the year 1847 " and in the " Schematismus für Tirol und Vorarlberg " as well as the "Allgemeine National-Kalender für Tirol und Vorarlberg" (1825) the Wallenmahd is not yet mentioned as a separate hamlet of Dornbirn or mentioned as a settlement in some form.
In 1824 Johann Baptist Salzmann founded a bleaching, cotton dyeing and printing company in Wallenmahd, which had to be sold in 1832 to Ludwig Kuster from Rheineck, who from 1845 leased it to the skilled worker Johann Michael Fussenegger who worked for him. He operated a bleaching and finishing facility in Wallenmahd with 60 workers. After completing compulsory school , the later manufacturer Franz Martin Hämmerle took up his first job in the Salzmann factory .
Two industrial monuments from the JM Fussenegger company complex still in existence today , two shingle-roofed factory buildings (around 1830, dye works and administration building) with drying tower (1894), are still preserved. A building erected by Salzmann in the direction of Hohenems was leased by Konrad Gysi in 1846 and passed into the possession of David Fussenegger in 1863 , who founded a weaving mill there. These two industrial complexes, JMFussenegger and David Fussenegger, dominated the Wallenmahd for more than a century until other large industrial companies settled here after the Second World War . In 1858 the manufacturer Franz Martin Kalb is said to have opened the inn near the factory in Wallenmahd. As a manufacturer in Wallenmahd, he had a mechanical spinning mill with around forty employees. In 1866 he emigrated and ran a painting business in New York .
On May 2, 1945, the farmer Otto Gisinger and five German and several French soldiers died in Wallenmahd in the course of the final acts of war in the city of Dornbirn.
Topography, geography, location and traffic
The Wallenmahd is located relatively flat in the municipality of Dornbirn and the subsoil consists largely of reed . To the southeast, the Wallenmahd is bounded by the Breitenberg and to the east by Haslach . In the south and southwest, the Landgraben is now the border between the Dornbirn community, including Wallenmahd, and the Hohenems community.
The Wallenmahd operating area is one of the largest industrial areas in Vorarlberg and is constantly being expanded, which means that constant adjustments to the transport connections are required. The southern part of the Wallenmahd operating area already has a rail connection and another connection is planned. A connection to the Rheintal motorway (A14) is also to take place by 2020 via the “Rheintal Mitte” motorway junction. This is to be connected by extending Bleichestrasse, expanding Schweizerstrasse and a freight road (L 39) as a connection to Lustenauer Strasse (L 204).
Waters
The ditch between Wallenmahd and Unterklien also forms the border between the municipalities of Dornbirn and Hohenems. The Küferbach and the Fallbach are other relevant bodies of water that cross the Wallenmahd.
religion
The Wallenmahd is ecclesiastically part of the parish of St. Leopold . In Wallenmahd is the 1995 opened the parish hall . Originally a church was planned at this location, the property was donated to the church by Ulrich Ilg in 1979, but the church has not yet been built.
