Stadtfeld Ost is a district of Magdeburg located west of the city center with 26,291 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2017) on an area of 3.2755 km².
location
The district is bordered in the east by Magdeburger Ring ( Bundesstrasse 71 ). In the south, the Magdeburg – Braunschweig railway forms the border with the Sudenburg district , and in the west the Westring – Europaring road separates Stadtfeld Ost from Stadtfeld West . Albert-Vater-Straße and the Rennetal form the northern end. There is dense residential development with predominantly multi-storey buildings. Only in the southern area are some commercial operations located. The most striking buildings are the Pauluskirche and the Hermann-Gieseler-Halle . At 220 meters, Magdeburg's longest apartment block is on Martin-Agricola-Straße . The shot flows through the district from west to east , mostly as open water.
history
Already in the Middle Ages, there were settlements in today's district with Schrotdorf in the north and Rottersdorf in the south. Rottersdorf was already mentioned in the 10th century as the property of Moritzkloster , Schrotdorf was first mentioned in 1182. In the 16th century, both places were desolate.
Since the 18th century, the area, for which the name Stadtfeld had become naturalized, belonged to the area in front of the Magdeburg Fortress and was therefore subject to considerable building restrictions, which were laid down in the so-called Reichsrayon Act of 1871. Here only easily dismantled half-timbered buildings were permitted, the so-called rayon houses . When the fortress regulations were repealed in 1896, building activity began. Up until the First World War , mainly the southern area was opened up by creating a network of roads running at right angles. The multi-storey apartment buildings typical of the Wilhelminian era emerged , which were mainly inhabited by wealthy citizens.
By royal decree, the district was renamed "Wilhelmstadt" in 1892. As part of the urban settlement program, the Westernplan settlement was built in the north-eastern area in a mixed construction from 1924. While only one-story buildings were built in the initial phase, multi-story residential complexes were added later. Recently, a few streets with two-family houses were built in the southern part of the Western Plan.
The bombing raids in the Second World War caused damage mainly in the areas of Große Diesdorfer and Annastraße and Ebendorfer Straße. In the second half of the 20th century, only the war damage was removed and gaps were built, so that the district has retained its original character.
The division into the districts Stadtfeld Ost and West took place in 1991. Like all of Magdeburg, Stadtfeld Ost suffered a population decline in the 1990s, from 24,124 inhabitants in 1993 the number fell to 19,914 by 1997. Nevertheless, Stadtfeld Ost was the most populous district of Magdeburg. The population later increased significantly and reached 25,764 again in 2014.
In the 1990s, the district was primarily known as the “stronghold” of the left-wing scene in Magdeburg. Some empty old buildings were the scene of squatting at that time. The house at Uhlandstrasse No. 8, called “U8” for short, was used as a meeting point for the Antifa . In the course of the privatization and renovation of the buildings from the early days , the scene lost more and more importance.
