history

Weiherfeld was first mentioned in 1540 as "waldt der weyr gen" and belonged to Rüppurr until 1800 and then to Beiertheim . Until the beginning of the 20th century, there were only meadows and agricultural areas in the area of today's district.

In 1913 the first plans for the construction of Weiherfeld were presented, but construction could not begin until seven years later. The first apartments were completed in November 1923 and construction was completed in July 1927. Dammerstock was built in just seven months according to the plans of Walter Gropius and inaugurated on September 29, 1929.
