The Northrend was thus from the districts 12, 13, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 These numbers remained virtually unchanged to this day. Under Mayor Franz Adickes the Northrend and other Gründerzeit Districts expanded strongly. To set a limit of development, a second ring road was constructed, which should surround the densely built residential areas.
