In the core area, the building fabric of the district includes small settlement houses as semi-detached houses with a pitched roof . According to the Reichsheimstätten Act of 1920, 180 houses were built on a long-term lease on 700 square meters of land with 45 to 60 square meters of living space. The cost per house was between 2,700 and 3,500 Reichsmarks . Own work was expected to build the house, further requirements were keeping chickens and rabbits and growing food.

The farmers were obliged to hand over all animal carcasses to the knacker. He used the leftovers and buried or burned what could no longer be recycled. Due to the nuisance caused by the smell, the fall masters were forced to live outside the town.
