Erfurt-Southeast
Erfurt-Südost is the collective name for a number of prefabricated building areas that emerged in the last ten years of the GDR in the southeast of Erfurt .
The districts of Melchendorf , Herrenberg and Wiesenhügel belong to Erfurt-Südost, all of which were formed from the former Melchendorf area. The village of Melchendorf with around 1000 inhabitants is located between the prefabricated building areas. In addition to the old village, the Melchendorf district includes the Drosselberg and Buchenberg prefabricated building areas as well as several four-story apartment blocks from the 1950s and 1960s on Kranichfelder Strasse. Around 24,000 people still live in the large estate, which was once designed for almost 40,000 inhabitants.
In addition to Erfurt-Nord , Erfurt-Südost is the second large prefabricated building area in the state capital. The problems associated with large housing estates are not as pronounced in the south-east as in the north, but they are nonetheless present.
