Konradsiedlung-Wutzlhofen

Konradsiedlung-Wutzlhofen is the city district 05 of Regensburg . The city district is located north of the Danube and Reinhausen and west of the Regensburg– Schwandorf railway line .

The Konradsiedlung was built in the time of National Socialism on the site of an estate, the Harthof. The settlement was planned as a National Socialist model settlement for over 5000 people and was intended to create new living space, as the living conditions in the old town were very poor at that time. The first part of the Harthof settlement was built along the Regensburg - Hof railway line, while the second part of the Flachlberg settlement was connected to the southwest. Both parts had a large market square in the middle, the church was built at the northern end of the Flachlberg and the NSV children's and nurses' home right next to it at the foot of the mountain. The Hans Schemm School was built at the northern end of the Harthof part. Until 1945 it was named after the then Regensburg mayor and initiator of the Otto Schottenheim settlement , under whose tenure in Regensburg other suburban settlements such as the Ganghofersiedlung or the Westheimsiedlung were built.

After the war it was renamed Konradsiedlung after the patron saint of the Catholic parish church St. Konrad . The church was built from 1935; however, it does not have its own cemetery. The parishioners are therefore buried in the Reinhausen cemetery, which actually belongs to the parish of St. Josef (Reinhausen) .

In 1953, with the newly established Regensburg trolleybus, the Konradsiedlung was connected to the local public transport network, and from 1963 buses operated as a substitute . From 1970, with the help of the communist-inspired district newspaper Der Konradsiedler of the Workers 'Union for the reconstruction of the KPD and its local predecessor organization, the Socialist Works Group Regensburg, citizens' initiatives were founded, which related to the Konradsiedlung-Wutzlhofen, especially in questions of the settlement community and the Environmental protection against the Buechl lime works and who sought to ally with the local employees.

Wutzlhofen was first mentioned in a document in 1224 as "Wuzenhoven". In 1859 the place was connected to the Regensburg – Weiden railway , from which the local railway to Falkenstein / Obpf. branched off (dismantled in 1986). In 1924 the place was incorporated into the city of Regensburg.
