history

Almost all of the buildings in Nordstadt today are from the period after 1860. Only buildings on Gut Steuerwald have survived from the previous settlement. The oldest documented settlement (1135) in the area of ​​the city of Hildesheim was the old village in the area to and north of today's main train station, from which the city name Hildesheim is probably derived. Since for military reasons, buildings outside the city gates were hardly tolerated, the area of ​​the northern part of the city was hardly populated either. The following settlements and buildings can be found in the period up to 1840:

  • Essem village in the area of ​​today's port, desertification after the founding of
  • Steuerwald castle and settlement (1310), with restaurant and hotel "Haus Steuerwald"
  • Load Mill (1321)
  • Post Office (1641)

From 1840 until the Second World War , the history of the north city was shaped by industrialization. With the construction of the railway and the train station, industry and trade settled there, including a. Sugar refinery (1883), slaughterhouse (1890), “Hildesheimer Sparherdfabrik” Senking (1901) “Ammonia” chemical factory (1904, closed in 1909). The relocation of the train station from Kaiserstraße to today's square (1884) resulted in residential developments and smaller businesses such as the Seegers & Mellin glassworks (1882) and the Gebrüder Ernst machine factory on the roads to Peine and Hanover.

The growing city needed a new cemetery (1890, "Zentralfriedhof", today Nordfriedhof), soon to be followed by the Jewish cemetery (1892).

Through growing industry, u. a. Senking (around 2500 employees in 1921) and Vereinigte Deutsche Metallwerke (VDM, today KSM-Castings), fast-growing residential developments north of the Wilhelminian-style quarter and "Aviation District".

The construction of the airfield (1927) and the port (1928) followed.

During the Second World War the industrial companies were active as armaments factories and exploited prisoners of war and forced laborers. Camps were set up on today's Volksfestplatz ("Vor der Lademühle") and on the Münchewiese. The industrial plants were destroyed at the end of the war, especially during the bombing raid on March 14, 1945, and many forced laborers and prisoners of war were murdered in the last days of the war. By contrast, the major bombing raid on March 22, 1945 caused only minor damage to the residential buildings.

Culture and sights

  • The Catholic Church of St. John was consecrated in 1950 and is now a branch church of the Virgin Mary .
  • The Protestant Martin Luther Church was consecrated in 1954, but contains an object from a much earlier time with the crucifix above the altar. The Gothic work from around 1460 comes from a private foundation.
  • The Posthof on Steuerwalder Straße (today house number 60) was founded in 1641 by Rütger Hinüber. With the building located far from the city gates, it offered the post office and late arriving travelers a hostel. The postal service had to be stopped as early as 1673. A series of owners and conversions followed, which led to the "Gasthof zum Posthof" depicted on historical postcards around 1900. The dance hall burned down in 1930 and was rebuilt in its current form in 1933 and opened under the name "Nord-Kasino". The interior was destroyed by bombs and converted into a cinema after the war. From 1986 to 1996 the Bebop discotheque , which had its domicile on Rottsberg from 1976 to 1985 , had its headquarters there. Today the building is empty.
