The north town in Loerrach

The northern residential area of ​​the core city is called Nordstadt in the Baden-Württemberg district town of Lörrach . The approximately one square kilometer residential area was built due to the increase in industries and the resettlement waves and the associated increase in population after the end of the Second World War .

history

Until the Second World War, the area that is now part of the northern part of the city was practically unused wasteland. The circus wagons lined up along Gretherstrasse and Haagener Strasse and the circus tent was pitched in the open space.

At the beginning of the 1950s, the first residential area in the northern part of the city was developed on Albert-Hitzig-, Ernst-Schultz-, Max-Läuger- and Adalbert-Stifter-Straße. In 2010, large parts of the northern part of the city were connected to the local heating network, which is fed by the energy from the block- type thermal power station in Wölblinstrasse.
