history

At the beginning of the 20th century there were only a few houses on the Zollberg. The Waldheim was a popular destination. There was also a sports field on which many events such as obstacle riding , bike races and races took place. In the forest there was an animal show with monkeys, deer and snakes.

The development of the area was considered for the first time in 1936/37. However, these plans were shattered by the turmoil of World War II .

During the war there was a POW camp for Soviet prisoners on the Zollberg. After that, wooden barracks were built there for refugees who came from the former eastern German regions.

Planning started again in 1952 and the first houses were built in 1955. The first tenants were able to move in in 1956. The Zollberg became a new home, especially for those who were displaced .

The Zollberg was popularly known as the “debt hump” because the houses were often built with loans from the Landeskreditanstalt.
