1945—1950
Ingolstädter Strasse: DP Camp in Neu-Freimann (Kaltherberge)
In 1937 a small residential estate of some 200 houses, called the “Reichskleinsiedlung Kaltherberge,” was built for working-class families in need. At the end of 1945 it was seized by the U.S. military government. All German residents had to move out of their homes—leaving all their furniture behind— to provide accommodation for about 2,000 Jewish DPs. In addition, a school, a synagogue, a sports club, and a kindergarten were built there. From 1949 onwards, the former residents were able to return to their homes. The last DPs moved out in May 1950.
