The district grew from the 1873 founding of the Bismarckhütte steel mill, which turned a rural village into an industrial town. This factory drew workers and sparked rapid growth and urban development.
Saint Mary's Church, constructed between 1898 and 1901, remains a central religious and architectural element of the district's identity.

The Church of Mary in this district was built between 1898 and 1901 and was the first major building other than the factory. Its red brick architecture stands out sharply from the factory buildings and made it a memorable landmark for early residents.
