History
Previously, the territory of modern Südweststadt belonged to Bayerheim. Only when industry began to develop in Südveststadt in 1860 did the district begin to take on a modern form. In 1895, the Südweststadt Civil Union was founded as a representation of the interests of residents [1] . During the First World War, industrial plants, as well as an arms factory and an ammunition factory, the building of which is used today, including the Center for Arts and Media Technologies (ZKM), appeared in the Südweststadt region. Since Südveststadt was initially organized as an industrial area and there were many industrial enterprises, the inhabitants of Südveststadt are still called Fabrikler [2] . The largest buildings in Südweststadt were erected from 1900 to 1930 [3] .
