The Osdorfer Born is a plate - housing estate in Hamburg . It is located in the districts of Osdorf and Lurup , near the western city limits. The settlement is named after a brook that flows into the Düpenau . The Osdorfer Born has an area of 0.7 km² . In 2004 10,552 people lived here, resulting in a population density of 15,047 people per km².
development
The settlement was planned since 1960 and mostly built between 1967 and 1972. Along with Steilshoop and Mümmelmannsberg, it was one of the first large Hamburg estates. Others followed, but were much smaller than this one. The 20-storey residential building on Achtern Born was the tallest in Hamburg at the time. It is popularly called "monkey rock".
The Born-Center shopping center forms the center of the settlement . The "KL! CK Kindermuseum Hamburg" and the Maria-Magdalena Church are also nearby . A special feature in Osdorfer Born is the tallest graffiti in the world on a house wall 43 m high. The 40 m long water slide in the nearby outdoor pool with a 50 m pool is very popular in summer.
In 2005 Osdorfer Born was the origin of the violence preventive project "BGK - Education against Crime".
Transport links
For cost reasons, the Senate under the then First Mayor Hans-Ulrich Klose canceled a project to connect the Osdorfer Born with the rapid transit railway shortly before the 1974 deadline for construction to begin. As a result, various plans for rail connections to the quarter came up. For example, in the target networks of the plans for a light rail network promoted by the Senate, routes to the Osdorfer Born were provided for in 2001 and 2009. Since the light rail projects were discontinued in connection with a change of government, the public transport connection via city bus lines has remained until today . Currently (2017) the Osdorfer Born is one day to be connected via a new underground line U5 or a new S-Bahn line. The decision for one of the variants is to be made by the end of 2018; construction is scheduled to start in the late 2020s.
The express bus line 37 connects the Osdorfer Born directly with Altona and downtown Hamburg, there is also the Metrobus line that connects the Elbe shopping center (EEZ) and the S-Bahn stations Klein-Flottbek (S1 and S11) or Elbgaustraße (S21 and S3) starts. Since mid-December 2008, the Metrobus line 3 has also been running from Schenefelder Platz via Osdorfer Born and thus offers another direct connection with downtown Hamburg. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to get there during the day.
Maria Magdalena parish
Since 1964, the parish of St. Simeon Alt-Osdorf has been trying to raise funds to purchase a plot of land. After a church pavilion was inaugurated on January 27, 1968, youth and senior work began in the same year and the design by Klaus Nickels and Timm Ohrt won first prize in the architectural competition , which was then realized within three years. On December 24, 1971, the first service was celebrated in the completed community center. The unusual building was recognized as exemplary in 1973 by the selection committee of the building authority of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg due to its architectural design . On July 24, 1990, a fire completely destroyed the nave and interior. In the course of extensive renovation work in 2003/2004, a previously non-existent bell tower was built, and the day-care center and the Kl! ICK Children's Museum Hamburg are moving into parts of the community center. In a festival service on April 11, 2004, the bells of the new bell tower were consecrated and the church reopened. It is named "Maria-Magdalena-Kirche" and the parish is also named after the biblical figure Maria Magdalena "Ev.-Luth. Maria-Magdalena-Kirchengemeinde" . The renovation work has been completed since June 2007 with a redesign of the surroundings and the square.
