    Fasanenhof is a district of the north Hessian city ​​of Kassel .

    history

    The Fasanenhof district was first mentioned in 1640 as a pheasant garden in front of Wolfsanger , a place that was mentioned as early as 800 and is now also a district of Kassel. Landgravine Amalie Elisabeth von Hanau-Münzenberg gave the pheasant garden to the court preacher Neuberger . His widow sold it back to the next Landgrave Hedwig Sophie von Brandenburg. In 1712 the Vorwerk came to her son Landgrave Karl . In 1766 it was handed over to the War and Domain Chamber by the Hessian Landgrave Friedrich II. In 1866 it fell to Prussia .

    In 1920 the city of Kassel bought the Fasanenhof and the properties belonging to it from the Prussian state in order to be able to build housing there. Only in 1926 was the area politically incorporated into Kassel.

    As a result, a first settlement area for lower income groups should emerge there. For this purpose, cooperatively built houses were first built on Ihringshäuser Strasse and the iron forge . From 1925 the area up to Fuldatalstraße was built by the Fasanenhof housing and building cooperative . In 1926 the Fasanenhof estate was also politically incorporated into the city of Kassel.

    In 1936 the Catholic parish completed the St. Boniface Church and the Protestant parish the Church of the Redeemer . A kindergarten is attached to the church.

    The Fasanenhof domain was destroyed in the Second World War. 1962–1970 a large residential complex for senior citizens, the Heinrich-Constantin-Heim , was built on the site of the former manor .

    Economy and Infrastructure

    The Kassel Clinic is located in this district. It is the largest municipal hospital in Hessen.

    There is also a larger school in the district, the Fasanenhofschule. It is an all-day primary school.

    The Fasanenhof also has a poet's quarter. A large number of streets - all of which are closely linked - are named after poets such as Eduard Mörike , Wilhelm Hauff , Adelbert von Chamisso and Franz Grillparzer .

    Ihringshäuser Strasse is the district's main street. It connects the Fasanenhof in the north with the municipality of Fuldatal and in the south with the Wesertor district .
