history
In 1713 the village of Bežanija , from which Novi Beograd emerged, was first mentioned. In 1923 the plan was made to expand Belgrade to the left bank of the Sava , until 1918 Austro-Hungarian . This was intended to express the union of the new Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in the capital itself. However, apart from the construction of a bridge, nothing came of the two drafts from the interwar period.
The foundation stone for the new district was only laid on April 11, 1948 after the Second World War . It was built according to the architectural ideas of Le Corbusier ; the executors were the Yugoslav labor brigades. The basic pattern is made up of blocks with sides of 400 meters each. The blocks dedicated to residential construction all have a school, a kindergarten and / or a community center, and the undeveloped center each has a sports field. Shops and other businesses were not planned and were not set up until the 1990s. The apartments are now privatized.
One of the first buildings to be constructed is SIV 1 , which was started in 1947 and was the former seat of the Yugoslav Federal Executive Council. It was completed in 1962. From 1961 to 1975 the Novi Beograd city administration was established in Block 31. Block 23 was built from 1968 to 1978. Block 19a was built from 1975 to 1981. From 1977 to 1980 the Genex tower was built in Block 33 as the western city gate.
Novi Beograd was incorporated as a district of Belgrade in 1952. The connection across the Sava to the city center of Belgrade is made by two railway and four road bridges, of which the Gazela and the Brankov most are the most important.
