history

Post mill

In 1961 or 1963, the area of ​​what is now the Kreuzheide district was reassembled from Kästorf to Wolfsburg. At that time there was a windmill built around 1860 and the neighboring house of the miller, otherwise the area was not built on.

In 1965 the allotment gardeners association Am Kraunsbusch was founded and the construction of the allotment garden complex began. In the 1960s, the mill pond was also created and soon expanded to its present size. Residential development in the area north of the mill pond began around 1966, and the first house was moved into at the end of 1967. In 1967 classes began in the newly built school center. At the beginning of the 1970s, the area between the pond and Hubertusstrasse was also built on. The tennis courts were built around the 1970s, and a tennis hall was added later. From 1970 an archery facility was built in a former gravel pit in the forest north of Kreuzheide, and in 1972 it was put into operation. A grocery store was opened in 1971 and existed until 2005. In November 1971, the Eintracht Stadium was inaugurated as the North District Sports Facility, which became the home of the VfR Eintracht Wolfsburg sports club. Since its bankruptcy, the successor club VfR Eintracht Nord Wolfsburg has played there. In 1973 the clubhouse of the allotment gardener association was built, and in 1973/74 the clubhouse of the sports club VfR Eintracht Wolfsburg and the Adventhaus ( free church of the Seventh-day Adventists ). The clubhouse of the archery facility was built from 1976 to 1979, and around 1980 a no longer existing fitness trail was set up in the forest around the archery facility. Scouts have been using the site of the windmill and the former miller's house since 1977 . To the south of Hubertusstrasse, the multi-storey residential buildings were built in 1992/93 as part of social housing . Around 1993, a temporary asylum seekers' home was built south of Hubertusstrasse ; it was closed and demolished in 1998. From 1997 the private homes were built south of Hubertusstraße.

In 2000 the Evangelical Free Church Kreuzheide built its parish hall. The football club Lupo Martini Wolfsburg has been based in Kreuzheide since 2003. Since 2004, the former tennis hall is a football hall ( Soccer Park used). Residential houses have been built in the Rossinistraße construction area since 2018.

Attractions

  • Post mill, also called Schrader mill , named after the last owner Gustav Schrader, who acquired the mill in 1929 . The mill originally stood near Schöppenstedt . In 1861 it was dismantled there by the miller Heinrich Köther and rebuilt at its current location. In 1969 Gustav Schrader shut down the mill and the city of Wolfsburg acquired and restored it, Gustav Schrader lived in the neighboring miller's house until well into the 1970s. The mill property has been used by scouts since 1977 . Today the mill is the only surviving windmill in the Wolfsburg city area and can be viewed on the annual German Milling Day .
