[2] The centre of the district is the boulevard Jasperallee, originally Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße, developed in 1889 by Ludwig Winter and modeled after Unter den Linden in Berlin.

Lined with bourgeois townhouses, the Jasperalle connects the State Theatre in the west with the Stadtpark in the east.

The name of the street was changed in 1946 to honour the social-democratic politician Heinrich Jasper, who died in 1945 in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.

[5] Two parks are located on the eastern end of the Östliche Ringgebiet, the Stadtpark and the Prinz-Albrecht-Park (short: Prinzenpark).

The latter is named after Prince Albert of Prussia (German: Albrecht von Preußen), regent of the Duchy of Brunswick from 1885 to 1906.
