history
Waltershofen was first mentioned in a document in 1139. During the Middle Ages, the village belonged to the St. Märgen monastery . Various noble families from Breisgau, such as the Schnewlin and the Dachswangen, were the local lords. Due to impoverishment, the St. Märgen Monastery had to sell this property at the end of the 15th century. Alternating aristocratic families continued to rule over the place, which fell to the state of Baden in 1806 and with this became part of the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. On July 1, 1972, the village was incorporated into Freiburg. Petra Zimmermann has been the mayor since 2015.
landscape
In the southeast of the Waltershofen district, bordering the Rieselfeld nature reserve and the Mundenhof , lies the Mooswald nature reserve . It is cut in north-south direction by the federal highway 5 . To the west of it lies the Waltershofener See. It was created from 1967 to 1969 through gravel mining for the Freiburg-Mitte motorway access road and is the most nutrient-polluted lake in Baden-Württemberg. These were entered through the groundwater from the Freiburg Rieselfeld until the early 1980s. The result was algae blooms and fish deaths, as oxygen was no longer available from a water depth of two meters. Since 2010, the water has been circulated using solar power, so oxygen also reaches deeper layers.
Buildings
The center of the village is the Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul , which was built by Christoph Arnold in the Weinbrenner style between 1816 and 1819 , after the parish of Wippertskirch, which was also the church of the Schuttern monastery since 1136, moved to Waltershofen in 1815 was relocated. The church was built in Waltershofen on the site of a St. Margareten chapel, which had stood there since around 1270.
