history

On June 29, 1933, it was initially founded as "Dietrich-Klagges-Stadt", named after the NSDAP Prime Minister of the Free State of Braunschweig, Dietrich Klagges . The first topping-out ceremony was celebrated on March 24, 1934.

Under the name “Dietrich-Klagges-Stadt”, a labor camp for 1,100 women and men from Poland and for prisoners of war from France, Belgium and the Netherlands was set up in 1943 in the area of Diestelbleek / Hainbergstraße . The warehouse was managed by the United Braunschweiger Fleischwerke Strucke & Witte. Around 50 forced laborers were also housed there for the Brunswick company Büssing .

After the end of the Second World War , the housing estate on the south-western outskirts was initially renamed “Gartenstadt Rüningen”, and on September 5, 1955, it was renamed “Braunschweig-Gartenstadt”.

Today the garden city is bordered in the south and west by the Fuhse Canal , in the north by rail tracks and in the east by the A391 and A39 .

As early as 1926, the development of the Siegfriedviertel in Braunschweig began, also according to garden-city aspects.
