In the 19th century there were still "facilities" in the area of today's Siebenbrunn, such as the gallows or the skinner.
Later, respectable citizens and farmers settled here. Magnificent manor houses and a weaving mill were built, but agriculture and animal husbandry were also practiced.
At the beginning of the 1980s, the area gained priority for drinking water protection and Siebenbrunn was settled. The farmers had to restrict the use and new, important fields of action emerged for nature conservation. Fields have been converted into extensive meadows, meadow orchards have been tended and, more recently, the avenue of fruit trees on Ellensind Straße by the city's landscape conservation association
Augsburg e.V. planted.
Man-made paradise
Fruit trees were planted in our region as early as the early Stone Age. But it was the Romans who helped fruit growing to its heyday. In the Middle Ages, when fruit was particularly popular, monasteries in particular took care of the preservation and further development of the trees.
"Strevo fruit"
Until a few decades ago, wide "orchard belts" surrounded many settlements and thus integrated them into the open landscape. Today, unfortunately, only remnants of orchards remain.
