The cultural monuments in the district are listed in the local monument register .

history

Until the beginning of the 20th century, the entire area of ​​what is now the district was used for agriculture as good soil. The area owes the beginning of the development to the up-and-coming industrialization of Magdeburg. The Friedrich Krupp AG Grusonwerk needed living space for its managerial staff and found it in the northeast of today's district in the immediate vicinity of the disused fortress Fort 2. There were built between 1910 and 1922 in what are now called Louis-Braille-Straße, Paracelsusstraße and Paul- Schreiber-Straße under the direction of the "Bauverein der Grusonwerk-Officials" founded in 1909, apartments of high standard. Semi-detached houses were built in different architecture, each with only one central or side project in common.

When the idea of ​​the garden city also found support in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century , 19 workers from the Gruson factory founded the cooperative "Garden City-Colony Reform". To the west of the civil servants' settlement, the first four houses were built from 1911 on the “Verlorener Grundstein” district according to plans by the Magdeburg architect Glimm. From 1912, the architects Bruno Taut and Franz Hoffmann took over the planning of the estate, which was mainly built with row houses in north-south facing streets. The architectural design feature was the relocation of individual building blocks and a strong color scheme, which later went down in German building history as the trademark of Tautscher Architektur. The last buildings in the garden city were completed in 1930.

Up until the Second World War , a few three-story apartment buildings were built on Leipziger Strasse and the so-called “planetary settlement” was built near Salbker Chaussee, which runs south. Between 1939 and 1941 an allotment garden with 300 plots was laid out on the western periphery. Again as a workers 'settlement, the "workers' housing cooperative" of the Karl Liebknecht plant built a two-storey row settlement with around 360 apartments south of the planetary settlement between 1955 and 1956. Since the streets were only designated with letters, the settlement is known as the "ABC settlement" in addition to its official name "Karl-Liebknecht-Siedlung".

Between the north and south buildings, agriculture was practiced on 60 hectares until 1971. 1972 began with the residential area Neu-Reform, which was completed in 1974 with 5,000 apartments in five- to ten-storey prefabricated buildings. After 1990, the planetary settlement was expanded to include more houses and the “Bördepark” shopping center was opened.

From 2004 onwards, some new blocks were removed as part of a new reform and other 5-storey blocks were converted into 2-3 storeys with roof terraces etc.

people

  • Carl Krayl (1890–1947), architect, lived here from 1921 on Bunter Weg No. 3. He designed the apartment in an expressionist manner and furnished it with furniture he designed himself.

sports clubs

Various sports clubs (e.g. WSG Magdeburg-Reform , HSV Medizin Magdeburg, SG Messtron Magdeburg) are located in the Reform district , offering residents, but also athletes from other parts of the city and the surrounding area, the opportunity to actively spend their free time. In addition to the classic sports (including soccer, volleyball), the range of activities offered by sports clubs also includes some less popular sports (including jazz dance, senior sports ).
