history

Telecommunications tower

Before 1938 - the year the city was founded - the Klieversberg, also known as Kliebersberg in earlier times, was only sparsely developed. There was a quarry that was closed in 1925 (now an animal enclosure), a forester's house and a sheepfold (both of which have since been demolished). A deserted, fallen village called Klieverde (also Cliverde) is suspected to be in its vicinity. The country road from Wolfsburg to Mörse also led over the Klieversberg . With the opening of Braunschweiger Strasse in 1951, the old street lost its importance; today it still exists between the Scharoun Theater and the Center for Developmental Diagnostics and Social Pediatrics (ZEUS) at the hospital.

When the “City of the KdF-Wagons” - later Wolfsburg - was planned in the 1930s, a “town crown” consisting of party buildings was planned on the Klieversberg according to the “ Koller Plan ”. These plans were not implemented due to the war. Around 1938, a wooden surveying tower was erected as a trigonometric point in the area of ​​today's memorial, and it was demolished again during the war. The Porsche hut was also built around 1938. From 1938 on, an elevated tank was built near the former quarry , which ensured the water supply for the Volkswagen factory and the city. In 1943 it was replaced by a larger elevated water tank near Nordsteimke . Later it was only kept as an emergency container, but has since been shut down.

In 1953 the memorial of the expellees was inaugurated, before that there was already a cross made of birch trunks. In 1954 the Grün-Gold tennis club opened its tennis facility with a clubhouse. Housing construction began in 1955, and the Wolfsburg City Clinic has also been located there since 1955. The southern part of the settlement was designed as a garden city . In 1958/59 the animal enclosure was created. The Hotel Europa was built around 1960 , today the Hotel am Klieversberg . The Evangelical Reformed Church was opened in 1961 and the Holy Spirit Church was consecrated in 1962 . The particularly in the post-war popular Waldpavillon, popularly known as "Café mosquito bite", burned in 1970 and was not rebuilt. In the 1970s, the Klieversberg was enriched by a fitness trail , and in 1976 the telecommunications tower was built. In 1982, the Porschehütte, which had previously been vacant for around 15 years, was taken over by an artist couple who, after renovation , opened a gallery in the building two years later . In 2006 a development association took over the sponsorship of the previously municipal animal enclosure. In 2012 the gallery moved from the Porschehütte to the neighboring new building.

politics

Together with the neighboring districts of Eichelkamp , Hageberg , Hohenstein , Laagberg , Rabenberg and Wohltberg, Klieversberg forms the town of Mitte-West , which is represented by a local council. The local mayor is Matthias Presia ( SPD ).
