Grammar School <strong>Heidenheim</strong> on Brenz 1
Schloss Hellenstein
by Mirjam, Christiane and Sandra
The Hellenstein castle is a popular
sight and a formative symbol of
<strong>Heidenheim</strong>. The fortress of Hellenstein,
the remains of which we can
see today, was built in 1120 / 1130
and soon became part of the possession
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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong> 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
and a historical Museum, in which all periods of the settling of <strong>Heidenheim</strong>
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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong>.

The Architectural Style. The “Pauluskirche”
in <strong>Heidenheim</strong> was built between 1895 and
1898 during the new Gothic period. It was financed
by important foundations of <strong>Heidenheim</strong>
citizens and designed by Felix von Bremer,
an architect from Stuttgart. The “Pauluskirche”
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 redesignedseveral
times.
When plans
for the restoration
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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong>. 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:
1 st Legend:
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
<strong>Heidenheim</strong>, however, wasn’t stupid at
all. She collected the “Knöpfle“ in no The "Knöpfleswäscherin"
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
<strong>Heidenheim</strong>ers are often lovingly referred to as : "Knöpflewäscher"!
2 nd Legend
During the “Thirty Years’ War“ French soldiers disliked the “<strong>Heidenheim</strong>er
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 „<strong>Heidenheim</strong>er 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
a pinch of sugar breadcrumbs
1 egg 30 g of butter
Crumble the yeast and put it into a small bowl with 5 tablespoonfuls of
warm milk, 3 teaspoons of flour and a pinch of sugar; stir it all. Let it rise in
a warm place. Put the rest of the milk and the flour into a bowl and add the

egg, salt, butter and the yeast dough. Knead everything into a mixture.
Cover the dough with a piece of cloth and let it rise for about 15 minutes.
Now form 8-10 dumplings, which you leave in a warm place to rise once
again, let them simmer gently for about 20 minutes in 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.
The Hellenstein-Gymnasium (HG) 3
by Samuel, Andreas, Jan-Hendrik, Daniel,
Benjamin and Kilian
There are four grammar schools at
<strong>Heidenheim</strong>: Schiller-Gymnasium,
Werkgymnasium, Max-Planck-Gymnasium
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.

Teaching Science,
A very old Tradition
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.

Results of an
opinion poll
We made an opinion poll in
<strong>Heidenheim</strong> 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 Stuttgart,
Philipp Jakob Manz (1861-1936),
designed it. With the help of rich people
of <strong>Heidenheim</strong> 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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong>
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 building
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 presentation
to those collections. The
exhibitions at the “Kunstmuseum” are
highly appreciated by the public because
they are
often combined
with music and
poetry. There are
also special activities
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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong> 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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong>
we have two famous persons that can help us to get free from simple
sentences.
As a student of Hellenstein-
Gymnasium we have a special
focus on him because
this is the family name of our
former headmaster from 1907
to 1920.
Erwin Rommel 5
Erwin Rommel was born at
<strong>Heidenheim</strong> 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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong> claim to be
connected with Georg Elser: Hermaringen,
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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong> 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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong>.
Eugen Gaus loved archaeology and
geology and started to collect antiquities
in <strong>Heidenheim</strong>. He founded the Museum
of Local History in Hellenstein Castle.
Until 1919 he was a very popular teacher
at Hellenstein Gymnasium. His researches
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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong>) 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
<strong>Heidenheim</strong>. One of the streets and a
secondary school have been named
after him.
On April 30, 1934, Professor Eugen
Gaus died in <strong>Heidenheim</strong> at the age of
84.

The Heidensmithy, Heidenschmiede.
When Hermann Mohn found the Heidensmithy,
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.
Caverns in the Lonetal Valley
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 settling of <strong>Heidenheim</strong>
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
<strong>Heidenheim</strong>. In the middle of the 2 nd
century the "Castrum" was moved to Aalen
but <strong>Heidenheim</strong> still remained an important
place.
The fall of Roman <strong>Heidenheim</strong> began with
the attack of the Alemannic people in 233
BC and ended with the destruction of the
town in 260 / 259 BC.
Roman objects of bronze
In front of the Hellenstein- Gymnasium
the pavement shows the
places of the external wall and
towers of the roman fortification. A
memorial plate on the building
explicates it.
The Middle Ages and the time of migration of people followed. Between
1100 and 1150 the castle was built. Since 1190 the construction of an
urban defence system was started. From 1330 <strong>Heidenheim</strong> showed
municipal character; in the days of Charles IV, in 1356, the market rights of
<strong>Heidenheim</strong> were confirmed. At that time <strong>Heidenheim</strong> 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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong> was heavily
affected by wars, at that time <strong>Heidenheim</strong> 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
<strong>Heidenheim</strong> 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. <strong>Heidenheim</strong>, 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.
HISTORY: The first remains have been discovered by Eugen Gaus in 1903.
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 connected
with a slide show about the people and the country of those times.
The „Römerbad“ - Museum
There’s also a program for children
between 6 and 14 years during the
holidays.

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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong> was called Aquileia. 233 AD, the
Alemannic (Alemannen) conquered Aquileia.
Up to now, many peoples have crossed our county. Huns (500 AD.),
Ostrogoths, Gepids, Alans and later Franks, Hungarians and others
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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong>. Most of
them have become citizens of <strong>Heidenheim</strong>.

Since 1987, people have come from all
eastern European countries, respectively
from the German Democratic Republic.
Today the <strong>Heidenheim</strong> population is an
interesting mixture of different nations
and even continents.

Economic History of <strong>Heidenheim</strong>
by Raffaele and Joachim
<strong>Heidenheim</strong> was one of the greatest industrial areas of east Wuerttemberg
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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong>, 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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong>
were a former ironwork.
The first official ironworks, however, were built in
Königsbronn, Itzelberg and in <strong>Heidenheim</strong> 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 Wuerttemberg
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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong> 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.
ever since and have developed
into big companies.
The iron ore of
the Ostalb, called
“Bohnerz“
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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong>
The cement factory Schwenk

During the past 50 years a lot of other companies were founded in
<strong>Heidenheim</strong>. 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, <strong>Heidenheim</strong> isn’t a huge
industrial area like e.g. the Ruhr-Gebiet.
The Textile Industry in <strong>Heidenheim</strong>
by Klaus, Mareike and Angelika
The Swabian Calico Manufacturing Works.
In 1823, the brothers Christian and Johann
Meebold bought 20 mechanical looms (imported
from England), the first of their kind in
Germany. In 1835, the
company was equipped
with the latest production
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 Wuerttembergische
Cattun-Manufaktur <strong>Heidenheim</strong> 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 pioneered
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 (including
® Tempex and ® Liegelind).

Sports in <strong>Heidenheim</strong>
by Jan Hendrik and others
<strong>Heidenheim</strong> 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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong>, 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 <strong>Heidenheim</strong> today. Every year they fight for
the European Cup in <strong>Heidenheim</strong>. Ralf Bisdorf- a young
<strong>Heidenheim</strong>er even won a silver medal at the Olympic games
last year.
