The garden city is a district of the town of Bad Neustadt an der Saale in the Rhön-Grabfeld district in Bavaria .
history
The garden city was founded in Bad Neustadt ad S. in 1938. It was created as part of the Dr. Hellmuth Plan to improve the economic situation in the Rhön . Another background was an acute shortage of living space and the need for labor in the local factories of Siemens (founded in 1937) and Preh . District leader Andreas Ingebrand drove the project until the beginning of World War II forward. That is why the garden city sometimes bore his name. Before that one spoke of the " four-year plan settlement". The Gauheimstättenamt in Würzburg was in charge of the planning . A total of 350 settler sites were planned. There should be a large communal house in the center of the settlement that, with its flag hall, was also designed for propaganda purposes. 175 properties had been built by the end of the war. For the families to be self-sufficient, the settlement agencies provided for a stable room in each residential building for keeping small animals and for the horticultural use of the 800–1000 m² plots.
A protocol from 1937 documented the direct involvement of Robert Ley and Julius Schulte-Frohlinde in the planning: “Pg. Schulte-Frohline attached particular importance to the design of the individual types, whereby he particularly emphasized that it was Dr. Ley's, the settlement should not only consist of single-family houses, rather the aim should be to give the entire settlement the character of a village (...) ”.
During the Second World War, many refugees were settled in the district. This led to the establishment of barracks in open spaces. On the initiative (1952) of the City Councilor Otto Pilger, the district was given its current name "Garden City". The Catholic Church of St. Konrad was built above the planned NS community center in 1953 .
The original planning with the settlement sites was therefore largely abandoned from 1950. Instead, multi-family apartment buildings were built while maintaining the street concept. In 2013 the garden city celebrated its 75th anniversary.
