Friesenheim (Low Alemannic: Friäsenä) is a municipality in the Ortenau district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

History

[edit]

Friesenheim was mediatized to the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1803. It was assigned to the district of Lahr. That district was dissolved as part of the 1973 Baden-Württemberg district reform [de]. Friesenheim was subsequently assigned to the newly organized Ortenau district. From 1972 to 1975, Friesenheim absorbed the towns of Heiligenzell, Oberschopfheim, Oberweier, and Schuttern.[3]

Geography

[edit]

The municipality (Gemeinde) of Friesenheim is located in the Ortenau district of Baden-Württemberg, one of the 16 States of the Federal Republic of Germany.[3]

Politics

[edit]

Friesenheim has five boroughs (Ortsteile) – Friesenheim, Heiligenzell, Oberschopfheim, Oberweier, and Schuttern – and two villages: Leutkirche and Riedmühle. Also located in the municipal area is the Am Bahnhof industrial district and the abandoned villages of Leimbach, Schutterweiler, and Sternenberg.[3]

Coat of arms

[edit]

Friesenheim's municipal coat of arms is divided party per pale into a right, yellow half containing a red plowshare, and a red half with a white billhook. This coat of arms was first designed by the Karlsruhe General State Archives [de] in 1900 and accepted by the municipal council and was retained after the mergers of the 1970s. The Ortenau district office reapproved the coat of arms for municipal use and issued a corresponding flag to Friesenheim on 8 August 1977.[3]

Transportation

[edit]

Friesenheim is connected to Germany's network of roadways by the Bundesstraße 3 and its railway system by the Mannheim–Karlsruhe–Basel railway.[3]
