history

The Kreideberg lake in Lueneburg.

The elevation of the Kreideberg was originally a heather area in the Middle Ages, which included gardens of the Lüneburg citizens towards the old town. The Hindenburgstrasse, previously called Gartenstrasse, connected the Mönchsgarten with Westedts-Garten. Lime was mined here for urban building projects as early as the 14th century. After the dissolution of the Cyriak churchyard, the Michaelisfriedhof was created in the west of the district, where the first burial probably took place in 1651. Interesting tombs of important Lüneburg personalities can be found here.

The first development began here at the end of the 19th century until the First World War , facing the city, Gartenstrasse, Lauensteinstrasse and Julius-Wolf-Strasse. In the twenties and thirties, the mayor's quarter on Springintgut followed. Lime mining was already industrialized at that time.

At the time of National Socialism, a Gauforum with parade streets and parade areas on the drawing board was planned on the Kreideberg, but this was not realized due to material shortages.

Implementation of the planning began in 1961 as a prototype program. The Kreideberg settlement with cross-free streets, tower houses, church , shopping center and a school center was completed in the mid-1970s.

In 1975 the city acquired the area of ​​the Kreideberg lake and gradually converted it into a recreational area.
