Heidenheim on Brenz, Germany Elaborated by the participants of Hellenstein Grammar School Heidenheim on Brenz 1
by Mirjam, Christiane and Sandra
The Hellenstein castle is a popular sight and a formative symbol of Heidenheim. The fortress of Hellen- stein, the remains of which we can see today, was built in 1120 / 1130 and soon became part of the pos- session of the famous Swabian Dukes the “Stauffer” that were elected Emperor. On 5 th August 1530 it burnt down. Until the middle of this century it was reconstructed. The Duke of Wuerttemberg, Friedrich I, soon started to build a castle including a church and a very big building to store the corn “Fruchtkasten”. To provide water the architect Heinrich Schickardt from Stuttgart constructed an extraordinary pipe from the Brenz up to the castle including a very special system of pumps. It was finished in 1605 but because of the 30 Years’ War it was destroyed in 1634 already. Then they built a well, the ”Kindlesbrunnen” that is 78m deep. It is still in a good condition. Up to the end of the 18 th century the castle was the seat of different noblemen. When in 1821 the Heidenheim paper factory burnt down, they took the stones from the castle to build the new factory. But in 1837 the process of restoring the castle began and it has been continued up to the present day. So you can visit a “Museum of Carriages and Carts” 2
have been presented to the public with the remains that have been found so far. Due to the efforts of the Association of Art and Antiques all these things have been collected since the beginning of this century. Today you can see it in a completely new shape. In the summertime you can enjoy music festivals in this romantic ambiance – a real highlight in Heidenheim.
The “Pauluskirche“
A Protestant Church in the Centre of Heidenheim.
by students of the forms 10b and 10c The Architectural Style. The “Pauluskirche” in Heidenheim was built between 1895 and 1898 during the new Gothic period. It was fi- nanced by important foundations of Heiden- heim citizens and designed by Felix von Bre- mer, an architect from Stuttgart. The “Paulus- kirche” is a wonderfully maintained example of a new Gothic church.
In 1898 the “Link” organ was inaugurated together with the “Pauluskirche”. It had 34 organ stops. In the course of time it was re- designed se- veral times.
When plans
for the resto- ration of the church were made in the 1980s a new organ was planned, too. In 1992 an order for a completely new organ was given to “Rieger Organs”. With the inauguration of the new organ at Whitsun in 1999 the restoration of the new church was completed. The new organ has 40 organ stops. The Bells. The church has got four bells, which, in the course of time, were often required to produce weapons in wars. Every bell has got its own name and relief. The “Knöpfleswäscherin“ by Sabrina and Antje
The “Knöpfleswäscherin”, a woman who is washing “Knöpfle”, is a legend and a landmark of Heidenheim. In the year 1984 a bronze statue of a “Knöpflewäscherin” which serves as a well, was built in front of the old town hall, called “Elmar-Doch-Haus”. Here are the two legends:
Once upon a time, a woman wanted to bring her husband “Knöpfle“, a typical meal, in a basket to his workplace. On the way she stumbled over a stone and woman and basket fell to the ground. The “Knöpfle“ rolled away into the filth of the street. The woman from Heidenheim, however, wasn’t stupid at all. She collected the “Knöpfle“ in no time, and put them back into her basket. Then she hurriedly went to the River Brenz where she washed them. A stranger was watching her from a distance. From then on Heidenheimers are often lovingly referred to as : "Knöpflewäscher"! 2 nd Legend During the “Thirty Years’ War“ French soldiers disliked the “Heidenheimer Knöpfle“ and dropped them to the floor along with the bowl. The proprietor of the restaurant washed them in the nearby river “Wedel”, fried them afterwards and served them to the guests. It is reported that the soldiers liked the “Knöpfle” very much. (from „Heidenheimer Zeitung“ 26/07/1982) Recipe for yeast Knöpfle Ingredients: 30 grams of yeast, a pinch of salt
250 ml of milk 50 g of butter
500 grams of flour salt water

Now fry the breadcrumbs in some butter until they are brown and put them on the Knöpfle. Yeast-Knöpfle are often served with sauerkraut, beans or lentils.
3 by Samuel, Andreas, Jan-Hendrik, Daniel, Benjamin and Kilian There are four grammar schools at Heidenheim: Schiller-Gymnasium, Werkgymnasium, Max-Planck-Gym- nasium and Hellenstein-Gymnasium. The Hellenstein-Gymnasium is the oldest of the four. The picture on the right shows the old building of it in the year 1900. In 1956 the building was enlarged and its appearance changed. Today about 800 pupils are studying there.
by Daniel, Jonas, Tobias E. and Tobias S.,
From the foundation of the "Realschule" in 1834
up to
now, teaching science takes an important place in our school. Of course, there are a lot of very interesting, and beautiful things a child can learn at school. But there is something else. The history of chemistry for example is a good lesson on internationality, especially the history of acids. Scientists from all over Europe, all over the world have been working on the same subject for centuries, each taking advantage of the findings of his predecessors. Science is international and should serve mankind as a whole.
The Hellenstein- Gymnasium today
Results of an opinion poll We made an opinion poll in Heidenheim asking the following question: "Which of the four grammar schools in HDH comes into your mind at this moment?" The Museum of Art 4 by students of the form 10a
Near our school you can find a very beautiful building. It dates back to 1903 when the famous architect from Stutt- gart, Philipp Jakob Manz (1861-1936), designed it. With the help of rich people of Heidenheim the community could afford a costly building that became a real treasure of the town. It was meant to be a bath for all people of Heidenheim and it was used for this purpose until 1987.
When the “Aquarena” was built, it became redundant. So the city-council decided to restore the magnificent buil- ding in art deco style and use it as municipal art gallery. They have the biggest collection of prints of Picasso there and one of the best collections of HAP Grieshaber prints. At the moment it is being renewed to give a better pre- sentation to those collections. The exhibitions at the “Kunstmuseum” are highly appreciated by the public be- cause they are often
combined with music and poetry. There are also special acti- vities for children to help them understand art and take up painting themselves. Events during the whole night – once a year – have always been appreciated by the public. A great many of the inhabitants of Heidenheim seem to be art-loving people.
Against Prejudice by Florian and Hans-Jörg
Many people don’t like Germans because of their Nazi past. In Heidenheim we have two famous persons that can help us to get free from simple sentences. Erwin Rommel 5 As a student of Hellenstein- Gymnasium we have a spe- cial focus on him because this is the family name of our former headmaster from 1907 to 1920. Erwin Rommel was born at Heidenheim at 5 Bahnhofstrasse on 1891, November 15 th . After the family had moved he went to school at Schwäbisch Gmünd. Having finished school Erwin Rommel wanted to work with the Zeppelin factory at Friedrichshafen, but his father advised him to join the army. At the age of 19 he joined the 7th infantry regiment of Württemberg, and fought in the First World War, in which he was promoted to captain. Moreover he received the highest German military decoration of ‘Pour le Mérite’. In the Second World War he was the first to lead Hitler’s headquarters. During the invasion of France he was commander of a tank division. Having shown his tactical and strategic skills he was sent to North Africa to lead the German Africa Corps. His defeating the British brought him the nickname of „Wüstenfuchs (Fox of the Desert)“. When he was defeated in the battle of El Alamein by the English general Montgomery, he ordered his men to retreat which was against Hitler’s order that said: „Keep fighting at any cost“. Back from Africa Rommel became supreme commander of Italy. Later he became chief of staff of the Atlantic-Walls and was responsible for fighting Allied invasion of the continent. On July 17th 1944, he was badly wounded. He realized that the Germans would never be able to win the war and he let Hitler know. Hitler did not appreciate that and sent Rommel to his death. He had the choice to kill himself or to appear in Court where his future had already been decided on. So Rommel decided to kill himself . A
few days later he was given an honourable burial. Erwin Rommel had never been involved in war crime. His enemies had great respect for him and said he was the last knight. His name is known in connection with the officers that resisted and tried to kill Hitler on 20 th July
in 1944.
Georg Elser 6
Two villages near Heidenheim claim to be connected with
Georg Elser:
Her- maringen, he was born there on 4th of January 1903. His father was a farmer and he also traded in wood. Königsbronn because his parents moved there after their marriage in 1904. After school he started to work at the iron factory there to become a turner. But because of bad health he had to stop it two years later. Then he decided to become a joiner. He succeeded and was the best of the youngsters who did their exam. In 1925 he moved to Constance – a city on Lake Constance – were he constructed models for clocks. Those skills should become very helpful in future times. He also joined a communist workers’ association there. The Black Friday in October 1929 changed his life. He tried to get a job in Switzerland. Three years later he came back to his family. Working at a factory in Heidenheim he had the impression that military warfare was being prepared for. That made him aware of the danger involved in the new regime. From November 1938 to November 1939 Elser kept thinking of how to rid Germany of the dictator. First he joined a famous meeting of the most important Nazi fighters at a restaurant in Munich called “Bürgerbräukeller”. There he watched the procedure and devised how to realize his idea. Back home he started experiments on explosions. For a short time he worked at a stone factory where he learned a lot and gathered the things he needed. In August 1939 he moved to Munich. Now he worked day and night on putting his plan into practice. He went to the restaurant and stayed there until they closed. That way he could spend the whole night inside preparing one of the big columns to hold the bomb. His preparations were finished just in time. So he moved to Constance where he knew he could cross the border quickly. But the plan miscarried. The bomb exploded, seven people died and 60 were wounded, only the dictator stayed alive and was on his way back to Berlin because due to dense fog Hitler had decided to leave earlier that evening. – Georg Elser was caught and made prisoner at the concentration camp of Sachsenhausen. The Nazi Regime could not believe that he had done that all alone. They suspected English Intelligence to have used him. But this was not true. To prepare a big show after the final victory they kept him alive till 1945. Finally, on 9th April he was shot in Dachau. Elser said at the trial that he had done it all just to prevent more bloodshed. Eugen Gaus by Theresa and Stephanie
Eugen Gaus was born on April 28, 1850, in Fridingen, district of Tuttlingen, in Swabia, Germany. Until 1879 he worked as a teacher in Ehingen. After that Eugen Gaus became headmaster at a secondary school in Weil der Stadt. In 1897 he moved to Heidenheim. Eugen Gaus loved archaeology and geology and started to collect antiquities in Heidenheim. He founded the Museum of Local History in Hellenstein Castle. Until 1919 he was a very popular teacher at Hellenstein Gymnasium. His re- searches and excavations to find out about the Roman-Alemannic period at the “Steinheimer Becken” and the “Ries” (two geologically interesting areas in the vicinity of Heidenheim) have to be mentioned as well. In the course of these excavations Gaus discovered, among other things, the cement stocks of Mergelstetten. He was also active in the managing committees of various clubs. He worked in the Association for Local History and Ancient Things, which he had founded, and in the Swabian Walkers’ Association. Over the years he got a number of awards and his work was highly appreciated. In 1904, he was awarded the Gold Medal of Art
and Science. From 1922 to his death, Eugen Gaus was an honorary citizen of Heidenheim. One of the streets and a secondary school have been named after him. On April 30, 1934, Professor Eugen Gaus died in Heidenheim at the age of 84.
Archaeological Remains in Heidenheim and the Surrounding Area 7 Kathrin, Stephanie
thy, his contemporaries learned a lot about how people lived before their time. The Heidensmithy lies on the southern side of what is today the castle hill with Hellenstein Castle on top.
Over 5,000 pieces of stone and more than five kilos of animal bones were dug up. The finds could be assigned to nearly all epochs of evolution. The Heidensmithy was used as a lookout for hunting and for temporary accommodation.
The most famous caverns in the Lonetal Valley are the “Bears’ Cave”, the “Hohlenstein Stadel” and the “Bockstein”. The first excavations done by Oskar Fraas dug out 10,000 bones, among them 88 skulls and tools made of flint-stone too. The tools they found were from people from the glacial period. Anatomy professor Robert Wenzel from Wuerzburg dug in the Lonetal Valley from 1932 until his death in 1961 and in the Hohlenstein Stadel. He found pieces of ivory from the so-called lion man that were put together much later by Joachim Hahn. Later, the “Fohlenhaus” was studied by Albert Kley and Wolfgang Taute in which tools made of stone from the Middle Stone Age were found. The Lion-Man 32 thousand years old, found at Hohlen- stein Stadel The little Wild Horse 32 thousand years old, found at Vogelherdhoehle The settling of Heidenheim by Felix, Martin, Jürgen, Dominic and Max In the Bronze and Iron Ages (appr. 2.000-50 BC), the beginning of continuous settlement started (from about 1300 BC). Many remains found in the area of “Seewiesen” go back to that period. Mounds prove that the Celts lived there about 800-500 BC. In Roman Times (appr. 90-260 BC), when the Roman frontier wall was expanded by Emperor Domitian the Romans built a "Castrum" at
the place
of today’s
Heidenheim. In the middle of the 2 nd
century the "Castrum" was moved to Aalen but Heidenheim still remained an important place. The fall of Roman Heidenheim began with the attack of the Alemannic people in 233 BC and ended with the destruction of the town in 260 / 259 BC.
1100 and 1150 the castle was built. Since 1190 the construction of an urban defence system was started. From 1330 Heidenheim showed municipal character; in the days of Charles IV, in 1356, the market rights of Heidenheim were confirmed. At that time Heidenheim consisted of a front lane, which served as a market place. A back lane, which served as a residential quarter and a small industrial area, the so called “Schmelzofenvorstadt”. Between 1449 and 1462 Heidenheim was heavily affected by wars, at that time Heidenheim consisted of about 70 houses with 400-500 inhabitants; the urban defence system, including the city wall, was completed at that time, too.
Museum in the Roman Bath “Römerbad” by Markus, and Alexander
Heidenheim was an important road junction. At about 90 AD an important military base was built. One of the buildings of the military base was a small fort. It was designed for a thousand riders and covered an area of 520 m². Remnants of it can still be found in the city centre: The settlement in the area of “Brenz-, Paulinen-, Bahnhof- and Karlsstrasse”. So some of them are under the school building. Heidenheim, was the most important settlement of the mountain range called “Schwäbische Alb”. This settlement existed until 300 after Christ. It may have been quite an important centre of civil government, after the soldiers had moved to Aalen in 150 A.D. to defend their territory at the New Limes 20 km away from home.
During the 20s and 30s he and Kurt Bittel and Hermann Mohn found more remains. Excavations started again in 1973/74. But systematic excavations did not start before the new post office was being built. Well preserved Roman remains had been found and building had to be stopped. Between 1980 and 1981 this area was examined more closely and very carefully in order not to do any damage to further interesting remains. They proved, that in the ground there were remains of a Roman building. More diggings were carried out on the area of today’s post office and station between 1990 and 1992. The museum offers some fashion shows of clothes as worn in the Roman era. The clothes can also be worn by visitors. This demonstration is con- nected with a slide show about the people and the country of those times. There’s also a program for children between 6 and 14 years during the holidays. The „Römerbad“ - Museum The Origin of Our Population by Joannis, Lazaros and Gzim Man settled in our area since the Stone Age. After Celts lived Romans in our county. At that time Heidenheim was called Aquileia. 233 AD, the Alemannic (Alemannen) conquered Aquileia. Up to now, many peoples have crossed our county. Huns (500 AD.),
came and some of them lived here for a longer time. It is quite possible, that a lot of the children had foreign fathers. In the course of the following centuries the population assimilated newcomers from all provinces of the Holy Roman Empire and the whole of Europe. In the time of the "Wirtschaftswunder" and after it, (since 1961) many "foreign workers" from Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Yugoslavia and Turkey settled in Heidenheim. Most of them have become citizens of Heiden- heim. Since 1987, people have come from all eastern European countries, respec- tively from the German Democratic Re- public. Today the Heidenheim population is an interesting mixture of different nations and even continents.

in the18th and 19th centuries. A few of the industrial productions were already founded in the 14th century. As early as the 8th and 5th centuries before Christ, many people lived in the area of Heidenheim, probably because of the large ore deposits. One foundry even dates back to Roman times. Old stone housings which were found on the northern rim of Heidenheim were a former ironwork. The first official ironworks, however, were built in Königsbronn, Itzelberg and in Heidenheim in the 14th century. There, the ore was melted over hot coal fire and in that way the ore became iron. In those days, horses and stage coaches were the only way to take the iron and other products out of town. In the 16th century, the first wire forge of Wuert- temberg was built. The iron was heated over the fire until it became flexible and then hammered into thin threads. In the 17th and 18th centuries the first blast furnace of Heidenheim and even a weapon factory were built. But until 1819, all these ironworks and blast furnaces had to be closed because the other towns, especially Wasseralfingen, sold their products at lower prices.
Since 1825, the factories developed very successfully: Voith in processing iron, Plouquet in processing cotton and Hartmann in the fabrication of pharmaceutical products. Those companies have been in Heidenheim ever since and have developed into big companies.
During the past 50 years a lot of other companies were founded in Heidenheim. The EPCOS PLC: The biggest European producer of passive electronic elements. Carl Edelmann GMBH Co. KG: One of the biggest companies in the fabrication of packaging materials, and E. Schwenk KG, which produces cement. But in spite of all this, Heidenheim isn’t a huge industrial area like e.g. the Ruhr-Gebiet. The Textile Industry in Heidenheim by Klaus, Mareike and Angelika The Swabian Calico Manufacturing Works. In 1823, the brothers Christian and Johann Meebold bought 20 mechanical looms (im- ported from England), the first of their kind in Germany. In 1835, the company was equipped with the latest produc- tion available on the market. In 1841, the first steam engine in Wuerttemberg was installed. On November 16 th of the same year the company was transformed into the "Anonyme Gesellschaft Wuert- tembergische Cattun-Manufaktur Heidenheim a.d. Brenz". The heyday of the company was in the 1950s. Production was ceased in 1966. Paul Hartmann AG. In 1867, Paul Hartmann founded the company of the same name, which pio- neered the production of surgical cotton, a production process that was trailblazing at the time. In 1874, a sterile dressing was added to the range of products. Today the "Paul Hartmann Ltd" ranks among the leading companies in Europe for dressing material. C.F. Ploucquet GmbH & Co. This textile factory was founded in 1806 by Christoph Friedrich Ploucquet, son of a French Huguenot family. Today Ploucquet is an internationally operating company of the branch, providing more than 600 jobs (in- cluding ® Tempex and ® Liegelind).
Sports in Heidenheim by Jan Hendrik and others Heidenheim people are doing sports since the nineteenth century when Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (1778-1852) gave the impulse to practice sports. He even invented a new word: the English verb “ to turn” became the German word” turnen” which is still the only word for a certain kind of sport. He thought of feeling free. That was at the time of the liberal movement in Europe. And in those days Jörg Freisleben, an advocate from Heidenheim, was one of the liberal representatives in the National Parliament that existed in Frankfurt for some months One of the favourite sports of the old “Turnvater” Jahn was fencing. It still is the most popular sport in Heidenheim today. Every year they fight for the European Cup in Heidenheim. Ralf Bisdorf- a young Heidenheimer even won a silver medal at the Olympic games last year. The Heidenheim Baseball-Team “Heidekoepfe” is member of the Na- tional Team. There is a young team of indoor-cycling that has just qualified for the European cup this year. That is not all about sports in Heidenheim. Of course, there is a much frequented swim- ming hall “Aqua- rena “ and in sum- mer everybody likes to relax at the magnificent swim- ming park “Wald- bad”.
