history

The Asternweg is centrally located in the Rostock garden city

The first houses in the garden city were built at the end of the 1910s in the area between Trotzenburger Weg, Am Waldessaum, Asternweg and the western part of Kopernikusstraße. This is why this area is also known as the “Old Garden City”. In addition to the traditional architecture, the then new Bauhaus style was used for the first time in individual houses . The development of this area was completed around 1960 and then further expansion in a westerly direction began. After extensive tree clearing, the streets Waldmeisterweg, Tulpenweg, Primelweg and the northwestern part of the Nelkenweg were created. The development in this area initially came to an end at the end of the 1970s with the houses in the southeastern Nelkenweg between Waldmeisterweg and Am Waldessaum, as did the last gaps in what was then the entire garden city. All other areas, such as Stadtweide, the residential area on Tannenweg and the area around the New Cemetery were administratively included in the garden city from the beginning of the 1990s. Until then, this area represented the district of Stadtweide, which belonged to the Südstadt district.
