Former opencast mining area

The area east of Merseburger Strasse from Bruckdorf in the north to Osendorf in the south was largely open-cast brown coal mining area from the 19th century. Mining ceased in 1966 and most of the mine was backfilled. Several flooded open-cast mining holes are evidence of this. South of the Dieselstrasse is z. B. the Tonnensee, a flooded open pit of the open pit lignite mine "vd Heydt", where a fishing club is also based.

Furthermore, one of the largest contiguous allotment garden areas in the city has arisen on the site of the former open-cast mine, which is of great importance for recreation and leisure activities.

Lighthouse settlement

The apple path in the lighthouse settlement

To the north, Dieselstrasse is bordered by the lighthouse settlement, which consists of single-family houses and was built in the 1920s, and designated by the city of Halle as an additional urban quarter. The settlement was named after the inn "Zum Leuchtturm", which was built here in 1905 and which was closed at the beginning of the Second World War. The Apfelweg with a turning area was designed with simple terraced houses in 1942/1943 by “ foreign workers ” as a replacement for the Krinitzanger settlement sacrificed to the Alwine opencast mine.

Between 1940 and 1948 there was a felt factory in an extension of the lighthouse restaurant and between 1961 and 1990 a fish processing company was housed on the premises of the restaurant. On the property of the Sonntag family, a building was erected in 1947 as a school building for classes 1–4 in voluntary construction hours. In the following years the building deteriorated more and more, so that it was demolished in 2013. Because of the street names (including apple, pear, plum path), the term "Kompottsiedlung" is common.

Infrastructure

The district is accessed by bus routes 26, 43 and 44. The Leipziger Chaussee (Bundesstrasse 6) provides transport links to the Halle shopping park (HEP).

A few businesses and services have settled in the district. The mechanical engineering company Jacobs on Leipziger Chaussee has existed since 1920. The MoBau Bauzentrum Halle has had its headquarters in Dieselstrasse since 1994. Umwelttechnik & Wasserbau GmbH also has a branch in Dieselstrasse.
