## History

The Northern part of the district (north of the Munich North Ring) used to belong to the municipality of Feldmoching; Only Kaltherberge and adjacent areas on today's Ingolstädter Straße were parts of the Milbertshofen municipality. The original name should come from Reinhartingen. On the Schleissheimer Straße, in the 19th Century, some colonists settled there. The Bavarian Army's ammunition depot known as Pulverturm, is also said to exists there since 1838. The district is named after the so-called "Reichskleinsiedlung" Am Hart, which was built by the National Socialists from 1933 onwards. A decision by the town council on the 10 October 1933, foresaw the construction of a Reichskleinsiedlung next to Ingolstädter Strasse, which was to receive the official name "Am Hart". The settlement was opened on 8 September 1936. Approximately 340 nearly identical single-family homes for workers were created around the area on Ingolstädter Straße. After the Second World War the additional "Reichskleinsiedlung" was canceled. Until the end of the 1980s, the Panzerwiese was used by the military. Since 2003, more than 2,500 new apartments have been built in the Nordhaide. With the Dominikuszentrum, the Mira shopping center, the cultural center 2411 and the school center Nordhaide the appropriate infrastructure was created.
