| 1972 the village Gaustadt was incorporated into the city Bamberg. 91% of the inhabitants disliked this area reform. It was a political decision in the interest of the ruling party CSU. The CSU wanted to destroy the majority of the SPD in Gaustadt, a village with many blue collar workers and a majority of the SPD and a "red" major. Other villages in the surrounding of Bamberg were spared (Bischberg, Memmelsdorf, Pettstadt and the city Hallstdt and so), because they had majors from the CSU. As a result the brewery Kaiserdom won their location Bamberg. Now a big part of the University of Bamberg is loated in Gaustadt (ERBA island). |
