Widukindland is a district of Osnabrück, Germany. It is situated in the north-east of the city, on the slopes of the Schinkelberg (Schinkel mountain). It arose from the former boundaries of Schinkel. The Freiheitsweg (Freedom Way) and the Heimatweg (Homeland Way) were built in 1922. The settlement development north of Bremer Straße was transformed in the 1930s under Nazi rule into a small housing estate area. The zeitgeist of that era is still evident in the names of the district’s streets today (“Vaterlandsweg” (Fatherland Way), “Kameradschaftsweg” (Comradeship Way), “Sigiburgweg” (Sigiburg Way), “Freiheitsweg” (Freedom Way), “Heimatweg” (Homeland Way), “Sachsenweg” (Saxon Way), “Cheruskerweg” (Cherusci Way) etc.). During the planning it was made sure that every house had a garden for the purpose of self-sufficiency. Since 1977 there has been a telecommunications tower of particular influence in the area. The street “Freundschaftsweg” (Friendship Way) was built in 1953. This district, characterised by its single-family homes, large gardens and wooded areas, covers an area of 271.1 hectares and is home to about 4,700 people. Good infrastructure is available to assist residents in any situation: * good local public transport links (city bus lines 71, 72, E31 and Nachtbus (night bus) N7) * good medical provisions (general practitioner, dentist, pharmacy, HHO treatment centre, ergotherapy practices) * a primary school * a youth centre (Jugend und Kultur im Widukindland e. V.) * two denominational kindergartens and a children’s store * a Lutheran parish (Timotheus) * a Catholic parish (St. Boniface) * two sports clubs (TSV Widukindland, VfB Schinkel) * local shops (bakery, fishmonger, florist etc.) * service providers (garages, banks and savings banks, driving schools, hairdressers, beauticians, furniture dealers, sanitary fitters) * various restaurants (traditional/local, Japanese, Chinese, Italian) File:Grundschule_01a.jpg|Grundschule Widukindland (Widukindland Primary School) File:Timotheus_kirche_04a.jpg|Timotheus Church (Lutheran) The Schinkelberg green belt and the Gartlage, along with nearby meadows and fields, give residents good opportunities for recreation. The district’s name derives from the legendary Saxon duke Wittekind. Widukindland’s streets and open spaces bear the names of notable Saxon tribes and local personages. == Places of interest == * The Schinkelturm (Schinkel Tower), situated on the Schinkelberg * The Lutheran Timotheus Church, a sacral building of architectural interest built during the 1950s by architect Max H.
