Hagsfeld was first mentioned in 991 as "Habachesfelt" and in 1261 as "Hagesvelt". After the Thirty Years' War the place still had 45 residents. In 1891, a connection to the local railway from Durmersheim to Spöck made it easier for the 350 factory workers to commute to Karlsruhe. After the unincorporated district of Hardtwald was dissolved in 1930, the area doubled. When it was incorporated into Karlsruhe in 1938, the history of the independent community ended. Despite more than a thousand years of history, Hagsfeld has no historical town center after severe destruction in the Second World War. A large industrial area and a new development area characterize the district, as does the through traffic of the L 604. Local congestion, noise reduction and additional shopping opportunities are therefore a major concern for Hagsfelder. Nevertheless, Hagsfeld now has a new youth club and, apart from the traffic, the district offers a lot of nature with forests and meadows.
