context_page_description: The Östliches Ringgebiet is a Stadtbezirk in the eastern part of Braunschweig, Germany. With a population of 26,723 it is the city's second most populous district.
context_section_description: Originally located outside of the city, the Östliche Ringgebiet (Eastern Ring Area) was developed as a residential area during the Gründerzeit in the late 19th century, when industrialisation caused a rapid growth of population in the city.
  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.
