history
The name Weissenbühl is derived from a former Weissenbühl estate, which was located here until the development in 1904. Construction activity in the area began as early as 1865, but did not concentrate until around 1890. In 1890 the private horse-drawn bus line Bärenplatz-Mattenhof-Weissenbühl-Kleinwabern and in 1894 the steam tramway on the same line to Grosswabern were set up, which brought the area closer to the city.
Facilities
The Zieglerspital , which opened in 1869 and also housed the Geriatric University Clinic, was located in the Weissenbühl area until it closed in 2015 . The hospital had 228 beds (including a geriatric university clinic). A residential complex is to be built on the site. There is currently an asylum center there. The Tram Museum in Weissenbühl opened on September 19, 2007 .
