geography

Böcklersiedlung-Bugenhagen lies in the west of Neumünster. The district borders on the Gartenstadt district in the north, the city ​​center in the east and Faldera in the south . It also borders the city forest.

history

The planning of the Böcklersiedlung took place against the background of the extensive destruction of Neumünster in World War II and the reception of numerous displaced persons . The district was created with the laying of the foundation stone on March 5, 1950 on 70 hectares of land that originally belonged to the airfield . The laying of the foundation stone of the Böcklersiedlung on the large construction site in Neumünster, as the first project of the special program, is also considered the structural start of the systematic social housing promotion in the Federal Republic of Germany after the Second World War . The land was provided by the federal property administration and the city. At first 800 apartments were built. Kantplatz was built as the central location of the settlement and retail center. There were also banks, shops, churches, kindergartens and schools. The topping-out ceremony was held on September 2, 1950 .

Hans Böckler bust on Kantplatz

The German Federation of Trade Unions , which endeavored to apply for and distribute the funding and participated in the organization, had great merit in the construction of the district . Its chairman at the time, Hans Böckler, gave the settlement its name and laid the foundation stone. A bust of Hans Böckler was erected on Kantplatz.

Many of the new residents of the Böcklersiedlung moved from the Nissenhütten on Ehndorfer Platz in the Faldera district. Almost all of them came as refugees from the former German eastern territories or from the Soviet occupation zone . For this reason, numerous streets were named based on these areas.

In 1964 the settlement was expanded to 1,800 apartments. 50 years after the founding of the new district, the rather simple apartments were renovated. By merging smaller apartments, larger ones were created and they were equipped with balconies.

education

The Böcklersiedlung has three schools: the Hans-Böckler-Schule (elementary and community school ), the Walther-Lehmkuhl-Schule (regional vocational training center for trade and technology) and the Wilhelm-Tanck-Schule (community school).
