history

A documentary mention of Puppendorf took place at least as early as 1164 as Popendorf . The place name possibly refers to church dignitaries.

According to other information, the origin of today's settlement of the area is to be seen in the settlement of a Dutch Poppe family , from which the place name is supposed to be derived. The Poppe family (German: puppet ) have settled in the area of Puppendorfer Weg , dug drainage ditches and thus made the area arable.

At least allotments were laid out at the beginning of the 20th century . During the German inflation from 1914 to 1923 , many impoverished allotment gardeners, fleeing from the high rents in the city of Magdeburg, settled in their gardens. According to another tradition, the expansion of the arbours into small houses (doll houses) is said to have led to the name doll village. However, since the village with the name Puppendorf is verifiably much older, this situation played no role in the naming.

After the beginning of the National Socialist tyranny , a memorial stone for the Führer was erected on the private initiative of local National Socialists in 1933 , but after a few years it was in a miserable condition and therefore had to be restored by the municipal garden administration. At the end of the Second World War at the latest , the stone disappeared from the streets.

For the history of the streets and the meaning of their names, see Magdeburger Strasse .
