Between Village, Utopian Settlement, and Garden City: Urban Agriculture in the Company Housing Project of Eisenheim (Founded in 1844) in Historical Context

Eisenheim was founded in 1844 near Oberhausen in the Ruhr by the mining company Gutehoffnungshütte as one of the earliest company housing projects in Germany. Like the later “colonies” by Krupp, BASF, or Farbwerke Höchst, the settlement was intended to attract workers from other regions by providing affordable housing and usually also access to land for gardening. The paper contributes to a historical contextualisation of today’s discourse on urban agriculture by first examining urban gardening and agricultural facilities in the mining company settlement of Eisenheim and then placing this case study within the broader development of urban agriculture from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. Eisenheim is then compared to four other “model villages” which, while represent- ing a wide range of ideological motivations and socio-economic backgrounds, faced similar challenges in their agricultural aspirations. The main reference points of this analysis are: first, how access to land was organised, what property regimes were put in place, and how this affected the long-term preservation of agricultural land use. Second, what impact subsistence agriculture had on the residents’ food resilience, quality of diet, and household income formation. Third, how subsistence gardening and agriculture and the spatial organisation of the settlements’ green areas contributed to the residents’ community life.Eisenheim was founded in 1844 near Oberhausen in the Ruhr by the mining company Gutehoffnungshütte as one of the earliest company housing projects in Germany.

Opium, Edelsteinpulver, Kräuter oder doch lieber „niks“? Einblicke in den Medizinschrank einer Kaiserin

Wie bereits in einem früheren Blogbeitrag zum Thema Medizin https://kaiserin.hypotheses.org/1710  beschrieben, stand Kaiserin Eleonora Magdalena dem oft exzessiven Gebrauch medizinischer Anwendungen in der zeitgenössischen Krankenpflege kritisch gegenüber. Allem voran galt dies für den Aderlass, aber auch in vielen anderen Fällen betonte sie, man habe „niks als“ ein jeweils ganz bestimmtes Mittel gegeben. Als sie im Februar 1688 ihren Vater, der wegen einer Erkältung um sie besorgt war, beruh..

Tiere als fürstliche Geschenke

1751 nannte der Staatswissenschaftler Friedrich Carl von Moser drei Arten von Geschenken, „womit grosse herren sich unter einander beehren“: „Naturalien“ (wobei er zwischen lebendigen und leblosen unterschied), Kunstgegenstände, oder „sonst was seltenes, an welchem entweder die Natur, oder die Kunst, oder beedes zugleich zu bewundern ist“.[1] Seltenheit, Schönheit und die Fähigkeit, Aufsehen und Bewunderung zu erregen, waren wichtige Aspekte eines Geschenks unter fürstlichen Standesgenossen...
