Neulichterfelde

Neulichterfelde is a planned and highly controversial residential neighborhood in the Berlin district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Germany, located on a former U.S. military training ground (Parks Range) in West Berlin.

== Background == The history of Neulichterfelde is marked by a varied use of the site where the new urban quarter is to be developed. Originally, the area consisted of agricultural land acquired in 1928 by the German Reichsbahn to build a railway repair facility—a project that was never realized. During World War II, the site housed a Reichsbahn labor camp as well as a prisoner-of-war camp that formed part of the Stalag III-D complex. After the war, the area remained unused for a long time until it came into focus for urban development in the 2010s. As part of a master planning process starting in 2013, the site was identified as a potential location for a sustainable residential neighborhood. The site's historical burden due to its Nazi-era past sparked intense debates about how to integrate remembrance culture into the new development
