Erfurt-Nord is a name for the northern districts of the city of Erfurt . The meaning and the area described by this term changes over time and in context. Erfurt-Nord can therefore have the following meanings.

Ilversgehofen

The community of Ilversgehofen developed in the second half of the 19th century from an agricultural community to a considerable industrial center. Resident industrialists initiated a incorporation into Erfurt, which took place in 1911. Then the new Erfurt district was called Erfurt-Nord . The Erfurt Nord train station is located here.

City district of Erfurt

In 1938 and 1950, other communities were incorporated into Erfurt. In the 1960s to 1980s, Erfurt was divided into the districts of Erfurt-Nord , Erfurt-Mitte and Erfurt-Süd .

Panel building area

The prefabricated building areas on the northern edge of the Thuringian capital, which were built between 1970 and 1990, are also called Erfurt-Nord . These include the current districts of Berliner Platz , Moskauer Platz , Rieth and Roter Berg .

Along with Erfurt-Südost , Jena- Lobeda and Gera- Lusan, Erfurt-Nord is one of the four large prefabricated housing estates in Thuringia. Around 25,000 people still live there today. In the 2000s, around 23% of the apartments in the area were demolished as part of urban redevelopment east , and this process has now been completed. He has achieved a stabilization of the area and Erfurt-Nord is no longer shrinking. The vacancy rate is low and the measures to improve the living environment are taking effect. In this respect, the concepts were successful, even though the general situation (population growth in Erfurt as a whole, unemployment halved compared to 2005) made a significant contribution. Nonetheless, the aging population is a problem (average age around 50 years) and it will become clear in the coming years whether it will be possible to attract enough new residents to compensate for the subsequent surplus of deaths. The infrastructure in Erfurt-Nord is in good condition with connections to four of the six light rail lines as well as numerous schools and shops on site. The structural condition of the apartment blocks has also been improved through renovations and has reached a good level.
