Location of Toitenwinkel in Rostock

Toitenwinkel is a district of Rostock on the eastern side of the Unterwarnow . It consists of the former village of Toitenwinkel and the prefabricated residential area of the same name . It is located between Gehlsdorf , Dierkow and the facilities of the port station . The place was founded back in the 13th century and was home to about 12,800 people in 2009. While demolition measures are taking place in the prefabricated building area due to the falling population, new single-family houses were built around the old village.

history

The Rostock district Toitenwinkel existed as a village from the 13th century and was ruled by the knights of Moltke until the 17th century , so that Moltkenwinkel was often mentioned . In 1679 it came into the possession of the Mandelsloh family ; After lengthy legal disputes, the ducal chamber acquired the village and estate in 1781. The Toitenwinkel office , located east of the Warnow , had gained a strategically important importance at the time with its access to the eastern Warnow bank (the river itself belonged to the city of Rostock). Therefore, for decades there was controversy and disagreement between the sovereign and urban politics. After the Thirty Years War , this area even became the subject of international disputes.

After the incorporation from 1950

The village of Toitenwinkel zu Rostock was incorporated in 1950. The construction of the Überseehafen from 1957 onwards opened up the first commercial areas along the railway facilities that were built at the same time. As a district, Toitenwinkel initially remained unchanged as a village with agricultural use of larger, now built-up areas. At the beginning of the 1980s, the small residential area "Hafenbahnweg" was built directly at the Rostock-Seehafen freight yard, using slab construction , where allotment gardens were also created.

The 1980s - prefabricated building

Toitenwinkel with a view of Rostock city center

"With the installation of the first building slab, residential construction in the Toitenwinkel residential area begins [on September 1st, 1987]". The large housing estate in prefabricated construction with 6,549 apartments accommodated 16,500 people, whereas originally around 9000 apartments were planned for 27,250 inhabitants. Construction started north of the Dierkow-West residential area and continued in a westerly direction. The buildings were constructed by the Rostock housing association.

The architects Rudolf Lasch and Christoph Weinhold were responsible for the planning. In principle, Toitenwinkel did not differ from the most recently built settlement of Dierkow, here, too, you will find the courtyards resulting from angled block development, enclosed on three or four sides, no continuous street, facade components partly designed with clinker bricks, which thus refer to the traditional in the region Take brick construction (red clinker) . As in Dierkow, a noise barrier was built on the northern edge of the residential area to the adjoining railway systems and commercial areas.

No more high-rise buildings were built. In Toitenwinkel, too, the endeavor to create a certain recognizability despite the restrictions of industrial housing construction can be seen. Typical of Toitenwinkel are the window-like openings in the side walls of the balconies, which should encourage individual design. Furthermore, new facade elements were developed, which resulted in an over-corner arrangement of the windows at the individual ends of the blocks. In contrast to earlier residential areas, the buildings were arranged in such a way that they are often reminiscent of classic streets. In the eastern area built first there is a central axis, mainly for local and pedestrian traffic.

Toitenwinkel was designed much larger than Dierkow, but the maximum of 6 floors was not used at every point. For architectural reasons, some buildings were only given five or four floors. The natural height differences, 13-14 m by Rostock standards, also led to a varied silhouette and here too the buildings on the southern edge of the district offer a beautiful view of the city panorama. The inclusion of water bodies in the design of the living environment was new, although this was only completed a few years after the main construction work. In addition to the apartments, schools, sports halls, day-care centers, an old people's home and department stores were built .

In the middle of the construction of the residential area, the time of monetary union and German reunification fell . First of all, the consequence for ELBO Bau AG, which emerged from the housing combine, was that the last contracts from GDR times could be processed without material shortages and material savings. The prefabricated buildings erected at the western end of Toitenwinkel have partly generous glazing which, after the architectural highlight of the Rostock prefabricated building in the northern old town, once again showed new possibilities. They also experimented with green glazed ceramic plates in the facades and colored windows. This was the end of the application of GDR panel construction technology in Rostock.

After 1990 - changed framework conditions

The last construction section Toitenwinkel, the residential group 5 at the end of the tram line, was no longer implemented as planned. Since the area had already been developed, however, it was built on with more individual multi-storey residential houses and homes. This dragged on for several years, the pace of construction was slower than during the GDR era. While containers were initially required to expand school capacities around 1990, three schools, a daycare center and the container buildings were demolished between 2004 and 2008.

At the end of the GDR, following the construction of Toitenwinkel and in 1992 Gehlsdorf , another panel building area was planned, to which the tram should also be extended. A bridge over the Warnow with a tram between Gehlsdorf and the city center was also planned, with which an old plan from 1960 was to be implemented - the first work had even begun at that time.

Culture

Around 2000 the youth center "Alte Schmiede" was built. Here is u. a. the Kino in der Schmiede with the regular program of the Northeast Citizens' Cinema and the youth cinema organized by young people from the district as part and representation of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Regional Association for Film Communication . In 2015, a new district and meeting center was opened.

economy

After 1990, various new retail stores emerged, mainly supermarkets and bakery branches, with some companies having closed again. The situation of the retail trade is considered difficult. In the two commercial areas along Hinrichsdorfer Strasse and along Petersdorfer Strasse there are a number of businesses. Represented are u. a. Motor vehicle trade with trade, repair, petrol stations, forwarding agencies to name. The city administration maintains a district office. There are several medical practices with different specialties. In the social area there are schools, day care centers, several nursing homes and also a shelter for the homeless. In 2014 the Rostock-Toitenwinkel transmitter , located in the neighboring district of Krummendorf , went into operation.

traffic

Road traffic

A four-lane, not intersection-free collection road was planned, which was to run along the north and west side of Toitenwinkel. This was built in a simplified form (two lanes). As a result of the lower level of motorization in the GDR , too few parking spaces were planned, so that the residential streets are still used for parking today. Toitenwinkel can be reached from the Bundesautobahn 19 via the Rostock-Nord junction on Bäderstraße to Graal-Müritz .

Public transportation

Since 1969 at the latest, there has been a regular local transport connection between Rostock main station and the overseas port (then name). From 1988 this line was integrated into the S-Bahn network . The original plan was to build a new S-Bahn line between Dierkow and the seaport. This would have run parallel to Toitenwinkler Allee and would have had stops under the Hinrichsdorfer Straße bridge and halfway down Toitenwinkler Allee. After 1990 these plans were not pursued. The original former S-Bahn connection, which is unfavorably located for the district, no longer exists since December 2012.

A bus line was already running along Toitenwinkler Allee during the construction phase and was extended as construction progressed. The tram line from Dierkow to Toitenwinkel was put into operation on December 1, 1990.

Remarkable

Village church

Church in Toitenwinkel

The village church of Toitenwinkel is a Gothic brick building from the first half of the 14th century, which was consecrated to Saints Catherine and Lorenz. The wall paintings show scenes from the Old and New Testament.

Originally the square building had two bays with a rib vaulted choir . The nave hall had three naves and three bays and a wooden ceiling. In 1889 there was a profound change with a transept-like extension on the middle yoke.

Street names

The streets in Toitenwinkel are named after local natural and landscape phenomena (such as Zum Vogelnest or Zum Schäferteich ) after internationally famous personalities of the 20th century: Bertha von Suttner , Martin Luther King , Bertrand Russell , Frédéric Joliot-Curie , Salvador Allende , Olof Palme , Pablo Neruda , Jawaharlal Nehru , Urho Kekkonen , Albert Schweitzer , Carl von Ossietzky , Pablo Picasso , Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg and Ilja Ehrenburg . A street originally named after Michail Kalinin was renamed Martin-Niemöller- Strasse after 1990 .

The name of Ilja-Ehrenburg-Strasse has also been controversial since the turning point and peaceful revolution in the GDR . Its renaming is particularly demanded by the Junge Union and supported by the CDU, but has so far not been well received by the majority of the citizens . The background is Ehrenburg's writings during World War II, in which he called for the Germans to be killed (Убей! Kill!). The street in Toitenwinkel is the only street in Germany named after Ilja Ehrenburg. The CDU suggested naming the street after the Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov . On June 29, 2011, the two representatives of the NPD introduced a motion to rename the city council, which was rejected by a majority of the MPs present. Most of the members of the CDU, however, left the room in order not to have to take part in the vote on the NPD proposal.
