geography

It is bounded to the west by the Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute , the Julius Kühn Institute and the Friedrich Loeffler Institute , formerly the site of the Federal Research Center for Agriculture (FAL), and to the north by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB ), in the south from Ölper Holz and that of Pawelschen Holz and in the west from Lammer Bruch and the Lamme-Tiergarten settlement.

The Chancellor's Field is on the Buchenberg ( 73  m above sea  level ).

history

In 1771 a field name "Das Kanzlerfeld" appears in a document with which the area was identified as a ducal fief.

There is no reliable information about the origin of this name. One possible explanation goes back to the former town planning officer Konrad Wiese: There, where the small viewing terrace "Brockenblick" is located today at a bulge of the 90-meter height line, the area extends like a pulpit with a slope to the southwest.

Until the 1930s, the road from Braunschweig to Bortfeld ran across the corridor of the Chancellor's field and on through the Rischauer Holz to the old village of Rischau. With the establishment of the aviation research institute Hermann Göring (today the Thünen Institute), the areas around the Rischauer Holz were fenced in - including a section of the old country road. With a new country road, Bortfeld received the connection to the Bundesallee and thus continued to the city via Saarstraße.

At that time the view from Buchenberg in the district of Ölper reached far to the south-west over flat, undulating, varied changing fields, interrupted only by the young rows of linden trees on Bundesallee.

At the beginning of the 1960s, the planning of a small new building area called Kanzlerfeld began. At that time there was common talk of the "Physikerviertel", since the idea for this planning was based on a request from PTB, whose employees subsequently also provided the majority of those interested in building. Construction began in 1962.

Unfavorable border lines between the city and the district of Braunschweig hindered the long-term expansion of the Kanzlerfeld settlement. The later so-called "old chancellor field" protruded into the sovereign territory of the district. Therefore, in 1969, the area exchange and border change agreement between the city and the municipality of Watenbüttel, which received urban land in the Oker lowlands in exchange.

High-ranking urban planners and architects with award-winning designs were involved in planning within the Chancellor's field, such as Professors Friedel Stracke (southwest quarter), Zdenko Strižić (black houses) or Dieter Quiram (Wicherngemeindezentrum).

From 1962, single-family houses, groups of single-family houses and apartment buildings were built in five different construction phases. The settlement was laid out according to the urban planning principle of the garden city and remained separated from the core city by a green belt.

From May 2010, another building area "Am Buchenberg" was built in the northeast of the Chancellor's field. The specialty of this construction area lies in the use of solar energy and its financial support by the city of Braunschweig.

The old part of the Chancellor's Field consists partly of apartment buildings with lots of green (meadows and individual trees) around the apartment blocks.
