history

Desert history

The settlement of Klein Freden , which was first mentioned in 1180 as parvo Vreden and was built in the 8th and 9th centuries, was located in the area of ​​today's Fredenberg district . Around the 13th century, the residents left the settlement and moved to nearby Oberfreden (today Salzgitter-Lichtenberg), so that it fell into desolation .

Structural remains of Klein Freden were discovered in 1993 during the construction of a school building and until 1996 were archaeologically examined under the direction of archaeologist Michael Geschwinde from the Institute for Monument Preservation . The extensive excavations made it possible to research the layout of the medieval village to a large extent.

Building history

At the end of the 1950s it became apparent that the residential areas of Lebenstadt planned up to that point would not be sufficient to meet the demand of newcomers. Based on the earlier plans of the architect Herbert Rimpl from 1938, the area southwest of Lebenstedt in the direction of Bruchmachtersen and Lichtenberg was selected for expansion. A first draft was developed in 1959/60 by the architect Friedrich Jelpke , board member of Salzgitter Wohnungs AG , in collaboration with students from the Technical University of Braunschweig . The design envisaged a garden city- style settlement , as had already been implemented in the sections east of the Salzgittersee. These plans were later changed. B. the development compacted and the settlement area crossed by a wide strip of green, which should accommodate the public buildings, such as the school center and sports facilities.

The first phase of construction began in 1964, with the first houses being built on today's Theodor-Heuss-Straße and development from here to the north. The first apartments could be moved into as early as 1965. By the end of the 1960s, 1,071 apartments had been completed, and a total of around 2,200 residential units were built by 2005. From 1966 a supply center with several shops was built and between 1967 and 1973 the school center with elementary and secondary school, grammar school and vocational training center was built. Since the late 1960s, the demand for building plots for single-family houses has increased, so that further areas have been developed in the north and west.

The declining demand for rental apartments since the beginning of the 2000s has led to an increase in the vacancy rate of apartments. Therefore, the three twelve-story high-rise buildings at Hans-Böckler-Ring 21, 25 and 29 have been empty since 2008. As the over 40 year old buildings were considered too costly to repair, they were demolished in 2010 and 2011. The land has been greened and should not be built on again.

• The Protestant parish of Fredenberg has been using the premises of the "Am Fredenberg Primary School" and the Maximilian Kolbe Church in Lebenstedt since 1964. In December 1986 the construction of the Fredenberger Friedenskirche began and was consecrated in June 1988.

• The Catholic parish initially used the Don Bosco House in Lichtenberg. In May 1977 the new building of the Fredenberg St. Maximilian Kolbe Church was inaugurated.

Salzgittersee

The construction work for the Salzgittersee to the north of Fredenberg had already started in 1960. The first part of the area was released in 1963, when the work was completed, the lake had a size of 75 hectares. In 1976/77 an ice rink was built north of the sports facilities. By expanding the recreational facilities around the lake, such as walking paths, two sandy beaches, an adventure playground and a water ski facility, the area around the lake has become a local recreation center for Salzgitter and its surroundings.

traffic
