During this time, the city of Ravensburg amassed wealth and riches thanks to its flourishing linen and textile trade and paper making industry. Many of the large buildings that still shape the face of the old town were constructed around this time. The Great Ravens - burg Trading Society maintained trade relations throughout Europe and as far as Spain and the Netherlands. It was made up of members of aristocratic patrician families and merchants. The gravestone of Henggi Humpis, a foun - der of the company who died in 1429, is one of the oldest of its kind in Ger - many and can be found in the chapel of the Protestant church. The town’s roots go back even further: From the 11th century, a settlement evolved at the foot of Ravensburg castle, the former ancestral seat of the Guelph family. The town earned its market rights early on and became a free Imperial city in 1276. Right up to the 30-Years War, Ravensburg enjoyed comfortable prosperity, and even arti - sans were able to make a good living The Veitsburg – first there.

  • Library and Monastery Museum
    THE STATE PALACES AND GARDENS OF BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG STAATLICHE SCHLÖSSER UND GÄRTEN BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG PRESS RELEASE JANUARY 2019 / 2 PAGES WIBLINGEN MONASTERY Wiblingen Monastery Library and monastery museum Situated directly in front of the gates of the old Imperial City of Wiblingen, stands a Benedictine monastery, founded in 1093. This baroque complex is spacious; elongated buildings enclose the heart of the monastery – the magnificent church. This is the last heyday of baroque church architecture in Upper Swabia. The Wiblingen Library Hall is a must for any visitor: lavishly decorated with stucco and paintings – it is the highlight of each visit. HISTORY OF MANY CENTURIES The monastery itself is far older: as far back as the 11th century, the first monks came to Wiblingen from the St. Blasien Benedictine monastery in the Black Forest. It is not known how the first monastery complex looked. By 1700, the monastery had become so prosperous that the monks were keen on demonstrating their power and wealth with a splendid new baroque structure. And as everywhere else, the new structure was intended to show that the abbot was not only a spiritual but also a secular ruler. The monastery complex – planned on an enormously large scale – could never be finished as long as the monastery still existed. It was, in fact, only completed at the beginning of the 20th century – now as a Württemberg barracks. HIGHLIGHT OF THE UPPER SWABIAN BAROQUE ROUTE The majestic structure of the former Wiblingen Benedictine monastery is today a highlight along the Upper Swabian Baroque Route. Especially the Library Hall in its sweeping rococo forms is a prime attraction for visitors.

  • Deponie „Vulkan“ Bei Haslach Im Kinzigtal (Ortenaukreis) – Riesige Sickerwasserspeicher Aus PE-100-Wickelrohr Angeliefert Und Montiert
    Deponie „Vulkan“ bei Haslach im Kinzigtal (Ortenaukreis) – riesige Sickerwasserspeicher aus PE-100-Wickelrohr angeliefert und montiert Abb. 1: Die drei neuen Sickerwasserspeicher in der Bauphase Auf dem Gelände des „Vulkans“ wurde von 1902 bis 1942 ein Schotterwerk betrieben, nach- dem man bereits 1899 ein Amphibolitvorkommen entdeckte. Dieses sehr harte und zähe Tiefengestein wurde im Untertagebau gefördert. In dieser Zeit wurde auch die erste Straße hoch zum „Vulkan“ errichtet. Die Stollen des „Vulkans“ wurden nach Kriegsende gesprengt und das Gelände bis 1965 zum Teil als Munitionslager genutzt. Nach Freiwerden richtete die Stadt Haslach an diesem Standort ihren Müllplatz ein. Seit 1973 wird die Deponie vom Ortenaukreis geführt. Nach Inkrafttreten der Technischen Anleitung Siedlungsabfall (TASI) 1993 wurden die neu zu erschließenden Bereiche immer nach dem neuesten Stand der Technik mit Abdichtung der Deponiesohle und Drainagesystem ausgeführt. FRANK GmbH Starkenburgstraße 1 64546 Mörfelden-Walldorf Telefon: +49 6105 4085-0 Telefax: +49 6105 4085-249 www.frank-gmbh.de Bereits im Jahr 2000 installierte die Frank Deponietechnik GmbH zwei Sickerwas- serspeicher aus Wickelrohr, um das anfal- lende Sickerwasser zu fassen und mit Tankwagen zu einer Kläranlage abzu- transportieren. Diese Behälter verfügen über ein Speichervolumen von Gesamt 2 x 80 m³. Die Lage der Deponie hoch über dem Tal und die sehr steile „Passstraße“ sorgten immer wieder für Probleme bei der Ent- sorgung des Sickerwassers - insbesonde- re im Winter bei ungünstigen Witterungs- verhältnissen. Auch die Anforderungen an das Spei- chervolumen erhöhtenn sich im Laufe der Jahre.
