Peterstal, Residential district in Ziegelhausen, Heidelberg, Germany
Peterstal is a residential district in Ziegelhausen, situated in the Steinbach Valley between the Apfelskopf and Dossenheimer Kopf mountains. The area spreads across gently sloping terrain with the parish church as its center.
The settlement began in the early 1700s with a glassworks operation established through a grant of forest land from the local ruler. This enterprise shaped the area's economic development for many decades.
The Parish Church of St. Peter anchors community life and its Neo-Gothic design reflects the long connection residents have with this place. It serves as a gathering point for local events and shapes the district's character.
The district is easily reached on foot from Ziegelhausen and offers good walking routes with views of the surrounding mountains. Infrastructure focuses on residential needs, with the church and local amenities for visitors.
In the early 1900s, laundry work was a major employer for many residents who served wealthy households and regional hotels. This industry faded away, but its memory remains part of the local story.
