Adolph Kolping Square ; District of Old Town ; ZIP 39106

Named after the Catholic priest and founder of Catholic journeyman's associations, Adolph Kolping . The designation was made by a city council resolution of December 6, 2001 and was based on a request from the Kolping Society , which had acquired a property nearby.

Agneswerder ; Industrial harbor district ; ZIP 39126

Albert-Vater-Strasse ; District of Stadtfeld Ost ; ZIP 39108

Formerly:
Named after the KPD politician Albert Vater .
The street has often been renamed for political reasons. After the original name "Steinkuhlenstrasse" had to give way to the political name "Hindenburgstrasse" (see there), the political name "Landsbergstrasse" (see there) was chosen after the end of the Second World War. During the GDR era , however, it was renamed again in 1964, this time after Albert Vater. This is remarkable insofar as Albert Vater was charged with high treason in connection with a hostage-taking in 1919 against Reich Justice Minister Otto Landsberg ( SPD ). In the period after the end of the GDR, the name "Albert-Vater-Straße" was retained.

Albinmüllerweg ; Ottersleben district ; ZIP 39116

Named after the architect and painter Albin Müller , who performed under the artist name "Albinmüller".
The designation was made by the city council on June 8, 2000, but was controversial. The Treuhandliegenschaftsgesellschaft mbH (TLG) wanted to develop a new residential area with 9 new streets. The TLG suggested naming artists from Magdeburg, including Albin Müller. The citizens' initiative "Citizens for Ottersleben" turned against this. They suggested old field names and village terms for naming. The Albinmüllerweg should then be called "Zum Brachfeld". The CDU parliamentary group introduced a corresponding amendment to the city council. To justify it, it was said that naming after people was rather unusual in the area and there was no connection to Ottersleben. The amendment found a majority in the Local and Legal Committee. In the city council, however, the application was rejected, so that the street was named after Albin Müller.

Alemannstrasse ; District of Old Town ; ZIP 39106

Today: Schinkelstrasse (eastern part, since 1931)

Alexander Pushkin Street ; District of Stadtfeld Ost ; ZIP 39108

Formerly: Schrotestrasse (until 1949)
Named after the Russian writer Alexander Pushkin .

Alexanderstrasse ; District of New Town ; ZIP 39124

The street was named after the Russian Tsar Alexander I in the first half of the 19th century . The fact that Alexander I was a German ally in the war against Napoleon and that the Neue Neustadt, with it Alexanderstrasse, had to be laid out, as the Alte Neustadt was largely demolished on Napoleon's orders, probably played an important role in the naming .

Alfredstrasse ; District reform ; ZIP 39118

Today: Paul-Schreiber-Strasse

Alfried private road ; Hopfengarten district ; ZIP 39120

Today: Heinz-Sommer-Weg (from 1949)
The road was built from 1932. The neighboring Grusonwerk initially built 15 semi-detached houses for employees on a site originally intended for a possible factory expansion. By 1938 a total of 5 construction phases had been built in the vicinity. 7 streets of the first construction sections were given the first names of 7 children of the Krupp family . The Alfried private path was therefore dedicated to Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach , born in 1907 .

Allerstrasse ; Industrial harbor district ; ZIP 39126

Formerly: Posener Straße
The street was named after the Aller river by resolution of the city council on June 8, 2000 . A previously unnamed street in a former industrial complex had to be named because several companies had relocated there and needed proper addressing.

With the construction of a new bridge over the river in 1861 and the construction of a new bridge gate , the word old was added to the street name. After the destruction of the Second World War and the reconstruction, which did not adhere to the urban structure, initially a green area was created at the place of the street.

On the baker's climb ; Ottersleben district ; ZIP 39116

A small footpath ran between Halberstädter Chaussee and Amtsgartenstrasse. The residents used this passage to get to a bakery that had been there for a longer period of time. For a long time, the baker's route was the shortest route to the water scoop at the source. The name Bäckerstieg (also Bäckersteig or Bäckersteg) had become established for this path. When building a neighboring new residential area, it became necessary to name the new access road. In order to preserve the local name, the citizens' association "Citizens for Ottersleben eV" suggested using the name "Am Bäckerstieg". The city council followed the proposal with a resolution of June 13, 2002.

Lemsdorf II was initially used as the name of the 34 settlement sites. This is based on the similar construction project Lemsdorf I ( cross-width ) that had already started .

At the Schraderhof ; Ottersleben district ; ZIP 39116

The street was named in 1995 in connection with the construction of a new residential area. The name is based on a fruit research station owned by Willi Schrader that was originally located here . The history of this Schraderhof began in 1898 when the Magdeburg merchant Theodor Franke founded an orchard north of Groß Ottersleben near Villen. In addition to fruit growing and tree nurseries , they also dealt with ornamental plants and especially orchids . From 1904 Willi Schrader worked in the company. Probably due to the extensive orchid division, the company filed for bankruptcy in 1913 . Schrader leased the fruit growing from the bankruptcy estate and took over the remaining parts in 1919. However, he stopped the production of ornamental plants and the tree nursery and specialized the company in fruit growing. Schrader remained without children. In 1938 he brought the company to a foundation he had established, which he transferred to the Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg on January 1, 1939 . The company received an experimental station. Scientific investigations and the testing of new types of fruit were carried out. The apricot variety Marena and the apricot rootstock Hindu became known . In the time of the GDR , the Schraderhof was affiliated with the VEB Baumschulen Ottersleben . After the end of the GDR, operations at this location were given up. The new residential area Frankefelde was built on the site of the experimental station .

At the lower bear ; Brückfeld district ; ZIP 39114

The street was named in 1925 after a floodgate that previously existed in the area. Two locks with a connection to the Elbe were built near the tower to regulate the water level in the fortress moat - the "Oberbär" and the "Unterbär". These weirs were built before the Thirty Years War . The part of the name bear is unusual. It seems conceivable that the actual designation Unterwehr and Oberwehr was alienated by the vernacular in Bär. Since the weirs were also known as barriers or bars, it also seems possible that the barrier became a bear. The upper bear lay further above the river. In contrast to the lower bear, there was a restricted area inaccessible to civilians, so the upper bear was less known. The ditch at the Unterbär was bridged by a public bridge in the direction of the Zuckerbusch .

At the Weinhof ; District of Old Town ; ZIP 39106

The origin of the name of the street, which has existed at least since 1847, is unclear. The origin of any viticulture practiced here would be obvious . In fact, wine was grown near the Elbe in the Magdeburg area, at least in the Middle Ages . However, no viticulture can be proven for the specific location. The view is also expressed that the Weinhof could have been the stables of the Neustadt.

The street was named after the bar roses that are located on both sides of the street. The name "Barro" goes back to the location of the lakes between BARleben and Rothensee . The street was renamed because the railway bridge that connected the eastern and western parts of Oebisfelder Straße was demolished and a completely new traffic route took place. The eastern section is now a dead end; instead, Burger Strasse is connected to the western section via a new bridge. Both sections of Oebisfelder Straße therefore no longer had a direct connection. Since significantly fewer residents were affected by a renaming in the western section, this part was renamed.

Formerly: Walter-Kaßner-Straße (until January 9, 2003)
