The B 188 , the Aller and the Mittelland Canal divide the district into the smaller Vorsfelde-Süd with residential, mixed and commercial areas as well as the historic town center with residential and mixed areas to the north ( Vorsfelde-Mitte and -Nord ). In the Allerniederung between Vorsfelde and the city center of Wolfsburg lies the Allersee .
history
founding
Vorsfelde was a planned medieval town founded around 1130 as the central location of the Vorsfeld Werder. The forerunner settlement was the village Achtbüttel at the foot of the Werder , after which a path in the vicinity of the old town school is named today ("achtenbüttelweg "). Vorsfelde served as an eastern outpost in an area in which Slavic Wends in Rundlingen probably settled as settlers at the same time . Vorsfelde was created directly on the Aller at the southern foot of the Vorsfelder Werder, an 80 km² high geest plate . The place was on a shallow ford , through which a trade and military route had led since the Middle Ages . Here is a passage of the Most was glacial valley possible.
Vorsfelde was first mentioned in a document in 1145 in a papal bull as Varesfelt by Pope Lucius II in Rome. The term varesfelt comes from the expression var for a place where you cross a river or land. In connection with -felde by field , it was a forest-free area. The name of the place corresponds to the geographical conditions at the time, because here a trade route crossed the Aller at a shallow ford. Until 1400, the local name nor was Varsfelde , then transformed in a sound change the a in o and thus Vorsfelde .
The family of the Lords of Vorsfelde as the lower, less wealthy ministerial family in Guelph services appeared for the first time in 1217 through Gottfried von Vorsfelde. Their possessions and rights existed in the area from Vorsfelde to Vechelde , Helmstedt and Königslutter . The last representative was Heinrich von Vorsfelde, who was last mentioned in 1478 as vicar at the St. Blaise monastery in Braunschweig .
The first city map from 1761 shows 125 houses. When the town was founded there were fifty plots of the same size. The place is built according to the two-street principle. Originally there was only today's Lange Straße and today's Amtsstraße, which form an elongated oval. The city center was divided by Kattenstrasse and Kirchstrasse (today: An der Propstei). The four town exits were called Oberes Thor, Meynthor, Wolfsburger Thor and Dammthor; whereby actual gate structures are not proven. Since Vorsfelde had market rights , there were several places to hold markets. Small livestock and poultry and pigs were swine angle offered a space-like indentation in the Long Street. The Rossmarkt, where cattle and horses were traded , was on Meinstrasse .
There were major city fires in 1604, 1780 and 1798. This is why most of today's houses in the historic city center were built in the 18th and 19th centuries. Most of them are two-story half - timbered buildings on a stone base.
Fortifications
Today there are no visible traces of medieval fortifications in the cityscape. In 1946, the Braunschweig regional archaeologist Alfred Tode looked for a medieval castle stable in the Drömlingswiesen using old maps . He found the Vorsfelde castle wall about 900 meters east of the medieval town center (near the Sudammsbreite) and carried out an archaeological excavation . Among other things, palisade fortifications were found. They belonged to a defensive tower in the style of a motte with an adjacent castle wall on a sand island in the Allerniederung. The facility was assigned to the early Middle Ages of the 11th century. However, it was not about the Vorsfeld castle , referred to in the tradition as the Old House , which is said to have been located within the village. It was first mentioned as a castrum in 1218 and is known as a slot ( castle ). Possibly it was located on the property of the former office building in the Amtsstraße, which is indicated by the name of the hallway there In den Burgäckern . Even today there is a trench-like depression behind the properties of the upper western district road.
Local and population development
Since the Middle Ages , the inhabitants of Vorfeld were predominantly arable citizens who owned some cattle and land, but also practiced handicrafts and trade. In Vorsfelde as the main town for the 18 villages on the Vorsfeld Werder, there was an economic development. The spot was an administrative, court, market and church location.
The first industrial settlements in rural Vorsfelde began in 1871, when the town was connected to the railway network with the Lehrter Bahn between Hanover and Berlin. A station building was erected in an open field on the railway line around one kilometer south of the village, and businesses (potato flake factory, canning factory, brewery, dairy) were built in the vicinity. Today's Vorsfelder Südstadt was formed from this. The Mittelland Canal , which was built south of the town from 1936, temporarily brought the population to work. The place was not given a port.

Affiliations
Vorsfelde has belonged to the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg since it was founded in the 12th century . In the first centuries after the town was founded, the town and castle of Vorsfelde constantly changed their tenants . Because of their border location, Vorsfelde and Vorsfeld Werder were fought for over two centuries between the Guelph dukes of the Braunschweig and Lüneburg lines, the margraves of Brandenburg and the archbishops of Magdeburg .
After the Lords of Vorsfelde in the 13th and 14th centuries, which ruled from 1389 noble family of those of Bartensleben about the town. After the extinction of their family in 1742, Vorsfelde and the Vorsfelder Werder fell back as a settled fiefdom to the Duchy of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel as a part of the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg. The duchy established the Vorsfelde office in 1742 and had the Vorsfeld Werder with almost 15 villages administered from here until 1918.
Since 1833 Vorsfelde has belonged to the Helmstedt district in Brunswick . On October 11, 1955, the place received city rights . On July 1, 1972, the city of Wolfsburg incorporated Vorsfelde with other places in its surrounding area. Then there was a local council and the great financial strength of Wolfsburg gave rise to important infrastructure facilities such as the Im Eichholz school center and other construction areas.
politics
coat of arms
The Vorsfeld coat of arms shows a black boar leaping to the right over green ground on a silver background . It is a talking coat of arms in which the wild boar embodies the part of the name Vor in the place name Vorsfelde, Dat vor is a term from Low German and stands for a lean pig . The coat of arms in its present form first appeared around 1740. It arose from the Vorsfeld town seal , on which a jumping wild boar can be traced back to 1483. The fact that the coat of arms has the shape of a wild boar is also related to the frequency of wild boar in the nearby Drömling forests.
Since 1952 there has been a real heraldic animal as a stuffed boar in a showcase in the former Vorsfeld town hall (today the administrative center of the city of Wolfsburg). The animal was shot by the then mayor Max Valentin in Drömling.
Local mayor
Politically, the district is represented by the Vorsfelde local council. Günter Lach ( CDU ), who was also a member of the German Bundestag from 2009 to 2017 , has been the local mayor since 2001 .

Economy and Infrastructure
In 1985 the city of Wolfsburg commissioned the architecture professor Friedrich Spengelin from Hanover to draw up a development plan for the Vorsfeld city center. This was triggered by plans to build retail stores near the city center. The design was called the Spengelin concept and was largely implemented from 1988 onwards. It took the through traffic out of the city center and diverted it via bypasses. An important point of the concept was the creation of additional parking space for business customers in the city center. The four-lane "Drömlingsallee" planned between Aller and An der Meine street from Allerbrücke to Meinstraße was not realized.
Companies
The Sparkasse function in Vorsfelde has been carried out by the Braunschweigische Landessparkasse , which belongs to NORD / LB , since January 1st, 2008 . NORD / LB's market leadership in the area of the former Duchy of Braunschweig , in which Vorsfelde was also located, is due to history. Vorsfelde, which belonged to the Duchy of Braunschweig from 1742 to 1918, is therefore not in the business area of the Sparkasse Celle-Gifhorn-Wolfsburg . The Volksbank Vorsfelde eG went back to the year 1881, in 2000 it was merged into the Volksbank Wolfsburg eG .
Road traffic
When it comes to road traffic, the place is now heavily relieved of through traffic. When the Volkswagen plant changed shifts, thousands of commuter vehicles used to roll through the town on the B 188 . The first bypass road was a 1.2 kilometer long section of the B 188 in the area of the old town (from An der Meine to Wolfsburger Straße ), which was opened on November 26, 1968. Since the 1990s and the beginning of the 21st century, additional bypass roads have relieved large-scale inner-city traffic.
Rail transport
The Lehrter Bahn and the high-speed line Hanover-Berlin run through the district in an east-west direction as a connection between Hanover and Berlin. The Lehrter Bahn as an important east-west thoroughfare is thanks to Vorsfelde for its railway connection established in 1871. Factories were established around the station in what was then an open field, from which the Vorsfelder Südstadt developed. After 1945 , Vorsfelde , located on the edge of the zone , was the border station for freight trains to the former Soviet zone and later GDR . The railway line also passed interzone passenger trains . The northeast end of the original after Oebisfelde leading railway Schandelah-Oebisfelde in 1955 because of the inner-German border shifted to Vorsfelde so that the track completely in the Federal Republic was. In 1978 the Vorsfelde station was closed to passenger traffic, but was still important for freight traffic until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. In 1991 the station was also closed to freight traffic. The former station building came into private ownership and is now separated from the railway line by a noise barrier .

Further enlargements were made around 1969, 1976 and since 2011.
The Hauptschule, Realschule and Gymnasium merged with the schools of the former Kreuzheide school center from the 2009/2010 school year. From the 2012/2013 school year, all schools will be united at the Vorsfelde location. Since the merger there has also been an upper secondary school in Vorsfelde.

The center of Vorsfeld consists of an old town with a closed inventory of restored half-timbered buildings and a few new buildings. The road surface and street lighting were completely renewed during the inner city renovation in 1999/2000 and produced in the historical style.
Since 1860, a pair of storks has had their nests on the roof of a 300-year-old half-timbered house in Langen Strasse in the town center . It is the oldest continuously inhabited nesting site in the Wolfsburg area. The nearby wetland of the Drömling serves as a food source.
Buildings
The oldest buildings are the former executioner's house from 1607 at Meinstrasse 14 and the beekeeper's house as a residential and storage house from 1590 at Amtsstrasse 9. Another old building is the Lütcherath house from 1798 as a farm bourgeois house with a striking mansard roof . It belongs to a family that has lived in Vorsfelde since the end of the 17th century.
At the southern end of the city center at the confluence of the Amtsstrasse and Langestrasse there is a triangular square called Ütschenpaul. The name is based on an earlier pond with frogs and toads , the Ütschen. In 1990 a water-spouting frog figure was erected on the square as a landmark.

After a period of use as the seat of the Wolfsburg authorities, it was made available to local associations from 1987 onwards. The house was renamed “Ludwig-Klingemann-Haus” in memory of the workers leader, USPD and SPD local chairman Ludwig Klingemann . The Social Democrat, who was elected to the local council and district council before 1933, was murdered by the National Socialists in 1942.
