history

Until the 20th century, the area was mainly used for agriculture. The Königsborn estate used the area in particular as pasture. Berliner Chaussee was only in use as the eastern arterial road for Magdeburg since the first half of the 19th century. Previously, traffic had been routed further south over the Klusdamm or Heerstraße Magdeburg-Brandenburg . Allotment garden colonies for the Magdeburg population emerged around 1900 . In 1929/30, the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold built the New World stadium including a swimming pool and lido. In 1930, the Magdeburg-Nord military airfield was established in the eastern part of the district . To the north of the Berliner Chaussee, barracks were built, which form today's Friedensweiler settlement. In 1932/1933 allotment parcels were sold to the previous allotment gardeners. Small houses were built on the garden plots and thus the small single-family house colonies that characterize the image of the district.

At the end of World War II , on April 13, 1945, the Neue Welt stadium was the scene of a massacre of prisoners who had to take part in a death march . Today the memorial stone erected there commemorates the dead. After the war, the military airfield was abandoned and the facilities converted for civil use. The Neue Welt stadium was operated until 1990, when it was closed for cost reasons.

The cultural monuments in the district are listed in the local monument register .

economy

According to the structure as a residential area, there are predominantly smaller companies. However, some medium-sized companies have also settled directly on Berliner Chaussee. In 2003 there were 90 member companies of the IHK and 21 craft businesses in the district.
