Geography

Overview

Hazel groves located in the northeast of the city of Dornbirn area. While the Haselstauderstraße center with 441 meters height is still at about the same level with the center of Dornbirn, the terrain towards the east rises further and there forms a natural border settlement. The highest point is reached in the vicinity of the 944 -meter high " Nackkopfs ", which is located relatively close to the populated upper case mountain. In the east, the Haselstauderstraße mountain Achrain, there are all of the 14 parcels and large areas of largely pristine forest.

The core area is similarly densely populated as the other urban areas, yet just exist in topographically similar design northern area is still large, contiguous uninhabited areas, such as the barely inhabited, about two square kilometers " Pfeller ". What is striking is that, even for the " garden city of Dornbirn ," large number of green areas and trees in the core area.

In the West, hazel groves bordering the district Rohrbach, to the south by the district market, in the north on the community Schwarzach, in the north- east on the community Alberschwende and in the east on the community of Black Mountain.

Rivers and Lakes

The most important river is the hazel Staudens Stiglbach ( rarely also " Haselstauderstraße Bach" - on naming, see section "History "). Its tributaries originate on the eastern hills, unite on the eastern edge of the main settlement and flow in the wake of the district. The river flows in the district of Rohrbach in Fischbach, which opens itself in the Dornbirner Oh. In Stiglbach there are fish stocks. The Stiglbach marked in the north also a kind of " population limit", the area beyond the main street " Stiglingen " is hardly inhabited. The river was formerly used for tanning leather and for energy. Today the river only plays a comparatively minor importance. For example, there are hardly swimming or recreational opportunities.

In the plot Stüben another river has its source, it flows south of the Stiglbachs by hazel groves, sometimes marks the border with the county market, and finally ends in the immediate vicinity of the main flow also in the Fischbach.

In hazel groves, there is no lake, and only a few still waters. It is worth mentioning at this point the " fire brigade pond " in the plot Heilgereuthe. It is a fairly small, dammed pond, which had been previously used by the fire service as a fire-fighting water source. So he got his name.

Lot

Hazel groves among 22 parcels and more than any other district. All parcels are located in the Eastern Township area well above the height level of the core area. The hamlets are scattered on a surface, which is significantly greater than that of the main settlement. They are connected with the mainland and each other through a road network.

The most important, as the largest and most populous plot is the knee, which is just a few minutes after a short climb from the north hazel Staudens from. It is bordered on the west by Schwarzach. In the knee and the Vorarlberg SOS Children's Village is housed. Most other parcels consist of only a few households. In the eastern from the knee plot Heilgereuthe an elementary school is housed, which was renovated in the 1990s. The neighboring plot Jennen as Winsau houses a chapel.

History

Prehistory

The earliest recorded mention hazel Staudens dates of 17 September 1249, respectively., The then Pope Innocent IV said in a document next to " Tornburon " ( Dornbirn) and " Kuun " ( the present-day plot knee) also from " Stiglingen " and meant the populated area not far distant from the present center along the Stiglbachs. The name derives from the well - mainly used in Austria word - stairs, which is synonymous with staircase ago. But what is meant by this staircase could not be reconstructed. Maybe so the very rugged river course has been paid tribute with some very steeply sloping planes. In an Austrian interest rate list of 1431, the northern part of Dornbirn, however, was referred to as " ennend the moss ."

Modern Times

About a hundred years later, in 1536, the first time the name hazel shrubs was recorded. In a document is " to Stiglingen in the hazel groves " the talk of. Based on this formulation, one can assume that Haselstauden was only a small settlement near Stiglingen then. As the settlement grew over time, the name hazel groves was applied for the entire area.

In the following decades, an increase in population by increasing emigration of inhabitants of the adjacent mountains was recorded in the valley. Larger importance was the small village in the late 18th century, when the construction of Dornbirn first ( Catholic ) parish church, the Church "To our Lady of the Visitation " was started.

Recent History

Dornbirn 1901 received a city charter and hazel groves was - along with three other districts - 1902 appointed the fourth district; the others were Hatlerdorf, Upper Village and Lower Village (now the " market "). Since then, the population has increased fivefold in about. In 1994, the district Rohrbach was re-established from parts of hazel groves and market, also in the southeast of the district had to make a larger area. This triggered among the population of some great resentment.

Population

The last population comes from 1 May 2004. At this time lived 5034 people in 1996 households in hazel groves, which the district before Oberndorf and behind Shors occupies the fifth and penultimate place among Dornbirn districts.

The 800 year history hazel Staudens - the majority of which period no direct connection to other Dornbirner settlements - has meant that the inhabitants of the district still have a relatively strong reliance feeling.

The inhabitants hazel Staudens refer to themselves jokingly as " gravel " and their district, derived from " Scotland ". The term " gravel " is by no means adopted by Scotland. Rather, it is assumed that a chaplain named Benedict Schott, who worked in the late 18th century in hazel groves, is responsible for the eponym. Especially during the Carnival period is often referenced it. Thus, for example, appears annually a local carnival newspaper, alluding to the name.

As in the rest of Dornbirn Vorarlberg and the Haselstauderstraße population is predominantly Roman Catholic. In addition to the Catholic Church, there are also other Christian institutions (see Section religion).
