history

From the middle of the 19th century, lignite was mined in the area , for example here in the Frohe Zukunft mine , after which the district was later to be named.

During the First World War, a military airport was established in the area of ​​the district. In 1934, the so-called Siebel Flugzeugwerke also moved to Dessauer Strasse . A settlement was built for their employees within a few years. However, because of the unsecured stability of the soil due to mining and the adjacent airport, the buildings were not built too high. In 1938 the Heilandskirche was built, which was damaged in the war, but was later rebuilt.

Sculpture in memory of the slave laborers

During World War II was on the Goldberg in neighboring Mötzlich the Halle concentration camp , were up to 1,025 prisoners who were used for forced labor in the Siebel Aircraft Works, interned in. Today a sculpture with a memorial plaque not far from the tram terminus “Frohe Zukunft”, created by the Halle sculptor Bernd Kleffel , reminds of the fate of the prisoners.

After the Second World War, the Siebel aircraft works were dismantled and blown up. The former Siebel administration building in Dessauer Strasse 70, which is now used by the Saxony-Anhalt state administration, has been heavily modified but is still in good condition. Another relic is the waiting hall at the terminus of today's line 1 of the Halle tram .

In 1958, mining was also stopped.

During the GDR era, multi-storey blocks were built in the south of the district.
