history

In 1908, 900 people looking for accommodation in Nuremberg followed the call to found a garden city building cooperative. 155 of them decided to become a member and put in 200 marks each. The new settlement was planned on inexpensive land, the Hirschensuhl in the south of the city of Nuremberg, with the significant participation of the Munich architect Richard Riemerschmid ; initially the first 46 houses were built. In 1911 76 apartments were completed. Further planning work was carried out by Hans Lehr , who, together with his partner Karl Leubert, had a major impact on the subsequent construction phases up to the Second World War . At the beginning of the war in 1939, there were already almost 1,400 residential units. While the battle for Nuremberg was raging, the garden city was taken without a fight on April 17, 1945 by American units, which took up positions further north on the same evening on Bayernstrasse. The houses that were destroyed in the Second World War were later partially restored in a simplified design in the original architectural style, which is also continued in the Falkenheim district. The garden city is under monument and ensemble protection . Only at the corner of Finkenbrunn do three building sins from the 1970s, a 17-storey high-rise and two low-rise buildings interrupt the overall urban impression of the historicizing district.

Today the garden city comprises around 880 single-family houses, most of which have a small garden, as well as almost another 1600 apartments in multi-family houses. Most of them have a balcony, together there are almost 2500 residential units.

After some planning back and forth, the garden city expanded its housing stock by a further 75 cooperative apartments at the end of the 2010s. The newly created building complex was built in 2018/19 about four kilometers away in the Langwasser district and clearly set off to the southeast of the historicizing ensemble, at the confluence of Franz-Reichel-Ring with state road ST 2225 , which is called Am Zollhaus there . (Corner of Liegnitzer Strasse ) ⊙
