from 3 october 1957 to 1966, willy brandt served as governing mayor of berlin, during a period of increasing tension in east-west relations that led to the construction of the berlin wall. in brandt's first year as mayor of berlin, he also served as the president of the bundesrat in bonn. brandt was an outspoken critic of soviet repression of the 1956 hungarian uprising and of nikita khrushchev's 1958 proposal that berlin receive the status of a "free city". he was supported by the influential publisher axel springer. as mayor of west berlin, brandt accomplished much in the way of urban development. new hotels, office-blocks and flats were constructed, while both schloss charlottenburg and the reichstag building were restored. sections of the "stadtring" bundesautobahn 100 inner city motorway were opened, while a major housing programme was carried out, with roughly 20,000 new dwellings built each year during his time in office.
