Überseequartier
The Überseequartier is a part of the HafenCity in Hamburg that is currently under construction . It is designed as the central quarter of the district.
The northern part of the quarter was officially opened on October 23, 2010, but had been open to the public since the end of August of the same year. For the southern part of the quarter, completion is expected in 2021.
After completion, the quarter will have around 1,100 apartments and around 6,140 full-time jobs.
The overall urban planning concept was developed by Rem Koolhaas and Erick van Egeraat , among others , who also contributed designs for individual building projects. The investment volume of the project is around 800 million euros.
Urban planning concept
Location and initial situation
The quarter is located in the western center of HafenCity and is bordered by the water surface of the Magdeburg harbor to the east and the Norderelbe to the south . In the north, the historical building stock of the Speicherstadt forms a largely closed barrier to the existing Hamburg city center , in the west the development of the quarters Am Sandtorpark / Grasbrook and Strandkai borders. The area has a total area of around 14 hectares and a gross floor area of around 410,000 m².
The existing development of the area was largely cleared before construction began, the only buildings remaining were the Old Port Authority and a smaller administrative building of the former authority for electricity and port construction . Nowadays it houses a hotel.
concept
The central urban structural element of the quarter is the Überseeboulevard , which runs through the quarter from north to south and connects the individual usage zones. The Überseeallee , which runs in an east-west direction, divides the quarter into two roughly equal parts. The development is oriented along the Überseeboulevards and forms a block-edge structure that is broken up by streets and squares.
use
Areas for retail and gastronomy use are planned in the ground floor zone of the entire quarter, and several hotels with a total gross floor area of around 55,000 m² are planned. A cruise terminal with approx. 8,000 m² is planned as a special use. A total of 410,000 m² gross floor area will be realized. The largest share of approx. 123,000 m² is made up of space for apartments, office use accounts for approx. 97,000 m², retail accounts for approx. 94,000 m², catering accounts for approx. 16,000 m², culture and entertainment use accounts for approx. 14,000 m² and hotel use 35,500 m².
The retail structure in the northern, first completed part of the quarter focuses on daily needs and offers, among other things, a full-range retailer and drugstore . In this way, Überseequartier closes a gap in the HafenCity supply network that up until this point in time, which, with the exception of several bakeries, cafés and restaurants, has not yet had any local supply infrastructure.
In the southern part of the district, which is currently under construction, large parts of the public areas are to be roofed over, thereby creating an open, urban, but not air-conditioned, but also weather-protected shopping area. This is also to receive an IMAX cinema with 10 halls and 2,700 seats. A previously planned science center with an integrated aquarium will no longer be realized.
Development
Overview
The investor entrusted with the development of the Überseequartier is planning a total of fifteen construction projects, with the rosewood project consisting of two separate buildings. There are also two further building sites in the north-west of the quarter. The only existing buildings are the Old Port Authority and a smaller administration building on the banks of Magdeburg Harbor .
The Überseequartier will have the highest building density of all parts of the HafenCity district; the buildings have at least seven full floors throughout with individual accentuating high points such as the fourteen- story Arabica residential tower. The color design is largely based on the red brick of the adjacent warehouse district and varies its colors with different shades of brown, red and purple. The material quality of the brick is partly imitated or quoted through the use of clinker facing.
The individual buildings along the Überseeboulevards are named after historically valuable goods; Sumatra or Sumatrakontor , Java and Virginia ( tobacco ), Arabica and Pacamara ( coffee ), Ceylon ( tea ), Cinnamon ( spices ), silk and linnen ( textiles ) and rosewood , kambala , limba and meranti ( precious woods ). The last three names were only given later in the course of the project development and differentiate the four wings of the building, previously known as rosewood . The buildings are grouped together, each oriented around a central square; Arabica , Ceylon , Java , Pacamara form the Am Kaffeelager area with the coffee place , Sumatra , Virginia and Cinnamon belong to the Altes Hafenamt area , and Genueser Platz brings together the buildings named after textiles and wood.
Development of the building
Overall, the development of the Überseequartier is progressing much more slowly than planned; While HafenCity Hamburg GmbH still expected construction to start in 2006 and completion in 2009 to 2010 at the end of 2004, the expected completion in early 2005 was postponed to 2011. After construction of the northern part did not begin until September 2007 the completion of the southern part is currently expected in 2021.
In 2008 an information pavilion was completed as the first building in the district, which is located in the immediate vicinity of the Cinnamon and Altes Hafenamt projects . In addition to the central information center in the boiler house in the street Am Sandtorkai , the pavilion only provides information about the projects in Überseequartier.
On October 23, 2010 the houses Arabica , Ceylon , Java , Pacamara and Sumatra with a total of 300 apartments and retail space were officially opened. As the first commercial user of the quarter, a Deutsche Bank branch opened on September 6, 2010 . Work on Haus Virginia with a further 60 residential units and the design hotel began at the end of 2009. The apartments in it were occupied from April 1st, and the 25hrs Hotel has been using its space there since July 1st. A branch of the Hamburger Sparkasse was opened there on September 22nd ; further retail space on the ground floor had not yet been let in August 2011. After work on the southern part of the quarter was supposed to start in spring and then in summer 2010, work on the Linnen and Silk buildings actually began at the beginning of October 2010. The buildings further south will be developed later.
Development of the related Altes Hafenamt and Cinnamon projects also began in October 2010, after construction was last scheduled to start in the first half of 2010.
The application deadline for the tender for the two building plots 34/15 and 34/16 in the north-west of the quarter, which had previously been kept free, ended on February 11, 2011.

Public open spaces
The public open spaces of the Überseequartier are designed by the Barcelona office BB + GG arquitectes , whose design won a prize in a two-stage international competition for ideas and implementation. The design task comprised the design of the Überseeboulevard , the adjoining places Kaffeeplatz and Genueser Platz , the Überseeterrassen on the Elbe bank, the western bank of the Magdeburg harbor as well as the eastern bank in the neighboring Elbtorquartier , St. Annen Platz and the forecourt of the International Maritime Museum .
The central idea of the open space concept is a game with different levels and height levels, which are connected with each other by ramps and stairways. The artificial topography created in this way corresponds to the architecture of the Überseequartier, which is characterized by inclines and inclined and overturned facades. The color design is based on the Speicherstadt and provides floor coverings made of colored concrete and natural stone.
All open spaces in the quarter are given public walking rights, which means that they are freely accessible to all persons in terms of time and space or to the extent that it is customary for open spaces on public land. This note is relevant in light of the fact that the entire area of Überseequartier is owned by the private investor group responsible for the development of the quarter and could therefore theoretically be subject to access restrictions - for example, excluding individual social milieus in terms of time or specifically .

Public transport

The main access performance since December, 2012 by Metro - U4 provided. The Überseequartier stop was opened at the end of November 2012 and is located in the southern part of the quarter below the future Genueser Platz . Due to the faltering development of the southern part of the quarter, the line will start operating well before the completion of the surrounding buildings, which means that the station will be in the middle of an extensive excavation when it opens, in which only the foundations of the later buildings have been completed. Construction work began in 2017.
Überseequartier and the neighboring HafenCity University stationare the first completely new stops in the Hamburg subway network since 1996. In order to take into account the central function of Überseequartier within HafenCity and the importance of HafenCity within Hamburg, the new station was given a comparatively complex one Layout. According to the architects' understanding, thedesign by the Darmstadt office netzwerkarchitekten should give passengers the impression that they are under the surface of the sea and that they are "emerging" on the way from the platform level to the surface. Starting from the platform level, the walls up to the station entrances are designed in increasingly lighter shades of blue, the platform ceiling is also covered with a reflective grid.
The connection to the HVV city bus network, which existed until the completion of the subway, was greatly reduced, the Metrobus lines 3, 4 and 6 were withdrawn from the district so that the U4 can take its passengers. For this purpose, the new port bus route 111 from Altona via Fischmarkt, Reeperbahn , Landungsbrücken and timbers to the Elbtorquartier (U HafenCity University) was set up by Überseequartier. Due to its lines, this line is particularly interesting for tourists. Metrobus line 6 also serves the northern seats of the quarter. During night-time traffic on weekdays, the night bus line 602, coming from Rathausmarkt, takes you through Überseequartier to the U Steinstraße terminus on Deichtorplatz .
Access on foot
Überseequartier is located at the southern end of the so-called cathedral axis , which leads from Jungfernstieg via Mönckebergstraße and Domplatz into HafenCity. The structural emphasis on the cathedral axis is intended to increase the attractiveness of the pedestrian connection between the existing city center and the retail outlets located here and the Überseequartier and the retail outlets there. One of the measures was to redesign the Brandstwiete street . In Überseequartier itself, the cathedral axis branches off into Überseeboulevard , which runs through the center of the quarter, and into Osakaallee / New-Orleans-Strasse , which runs parallel to the banks of the Magdeburg harbor . Überseeboulevard and New-Orleans-Strasse merge again at their southern end and merge into the contiguous places Überseeplatz and Überseeterrassen .
Motorized private transport
Überseequartier is only about the peripheral roads Sandtorkai , Am Sandtorpark / San Francisco street , Osakaallee / New Orleans street and Überseeallee for private motorized accessible. However, all buildings in the Überseequartier have a two-story underground car park , so that there are a total of 3,400 parking spaces in the quarter.
history
In 2003 the Senate passed the so-called “urban planning guidelines” for the Überseequartier. On the basis of the master plan from 2000 and an urban development ideas competition for the design of the development of the Magdeburg harbor from 2003, they make statements on the type and spatial distribution of the uses, the allocation of building dimensions and building heights and the order of the road and open space system.
Based on these specifications, HafenCity Hamburg GmbH launched a two-stage international investor competition in 2003, in which the guidelines were to be specified and refined. The main focus of the competition was accordingly the development of the utilization concept and the associated urban planning concept. After four investors were initially involved in the second round of the competition, the field was finally reduced to a German-Dutch consortium of ING Real Estate , SNS Property Finance and Groß & Partner and a German-US consortium of ECE , DIFA and Tishman Speyer Properties . After around nine months of negotiations between the interested parties and the Senate, the latter awarded the contract to the German-Dutch consortium in December 2005.
The first version of the overall urban planning concept largely corresponded to the current plans, but the architectural designs contained in the concept differed considerably. The planners and architects involved were the Dutch offices around Rem Koolhaas and Erick van Egeraat , the British office Building Design Partnership ( BDP ; responsible for office and retail space in the central area of the quarter) and the Hamburg office nps tchoban voss (residential and office building in northern part). From March 2006, design competitions and workshops were held for ten of the planned buildings, which considerably expanded the number of architects and planners involved. BDP and nps tchoban voss only contribute one building each to the final overall concept. The foundation stone for the part of the district was laid at the end of September 2007, and the topping-out ceremony for the northern part took place in June 2009.
