history

The Heimstättensiedlung was built in 1932 to give unemployed people the opportunity to build their own houses by themselves. Each settler was given about 1,000 square meters of land in long lease at a reasonable price. The area was considered sandy and agriculturally uninteresting. In 1932 and 1933, 53 semi-detached houses for 106 families were built.

After all the houses were completed, the houses were raffled among the future settlers. In the following years the Heimstättensiedlung was expanded further; the streets canalized and paved.

In 1949, the newly founded non-profit building cooperative Familienheim began to develop the New Köhlertanne . Many expellees from Bukovina and Hungarian Germans , especially skilled craftsmen, built new homes for themselves in the homestead settlement.
