What secrets does the Nuhnenvorstadt hold, nestled quietly in the heart of Frankfurt (Oder)? This charming suburb isn’t your typical tourist spot. It whispers stories of a time when Frankfurt, recovering from the devastation of World War I, sought to provide homes for its citizens. In the 1920s, the Nuhnenvorstadt witnessed the rise of the Paulinenhof settlement. This extensive housing complex, designed by Martin Kießling, became a refuge for around 300 families. These weren’t just any families, though. They were the families of employees who worked at the Reichsbahndirektion Osten, the regional railway directorate. This important institution had been relocated to Frankfurt after the turmoil of the war. The Paulinenhof, a testament to the architectural trends of its time, was built in the style of the “garden cities” popular in the 1920s. Today, the charming one and two-story family homes, along with a smattering of apartment buildings, remain a protected historical landmark. They stand as a tangible link to a pivotal era in Frankfurt’s history. The Nuhnenvorstadt invites you to take a step back in time. As you stroll through its peaceful streets, imagine the lives once lived within those walls, a blend of ordinary families and the legacy of a nation rebuilding.
