history
Until the second half of the 19th century, the area of the Gartenfeld and Berliner Siedlung was largely undeveloped, with only a few villas and spacious garden landscapes.
Towards the end of the 19th century, residential development began, initially along the road to Dornholzhausen, today's Saalburgstrasse, and along today's Heuchelheimer Strasse. The latter takes its name from the Heuchelheim desert , a settlement that was abandoned in the Middle Ages and was located in a straight continuation of the street in the area of today's Dornholzhausen.
In the period between and after the world wars, further large parts of the former landgrave gardens were developed for road construction and released for building with single-family houses. After 1960, today's main part of the Gartenfeldsiedlung was built with several medium-sized residential complexes and a small shopping center, which are clearly towered over by a high-rise building, which was also built during this period.
leisure
The district has a few smaller football fields at sports facilities. The Sandelmühle sports field is located in the immediate vicinity of the Berlin settlement.
