At the Lohsepark
At Lohsepark there is a sub-quarter under construction in the HafenCity in Hamburg . It is located in the central area of the district between Brooktorhafen in the north, the track system in the east, the Baakenhafen basin in the south and Shanghaiallee and the Elbtorquartier in the west. The name is derived from the Lohseplatz in front of the Hanover train station , known since 1907 , after the architect and engineer Hermann Lohse (1815–1893), the builder of this station and the first railway bridge over the Elbe .
The usage structure of the quarter is characterized by a mixture of residential and office uses, furthermore a secondary school is planned in the southern part, since April 2008 the private automobile museum Prototyp has been located on the northern Shanghaiallee .
Urban planning concept
The central element of the quarter is around 4 hectares large Lohsepark which completely traverses the area in north-south direction and the water areas of the Brooktorhafen in the north and the Baakenhafen connects the south with each other and divides the district into an eastern and a western part.
The development comprises fourteen building plots and is oriented on both sides of the Lohsepark and forms a block-edge structure.
The ensemble around the former Harburger Gummi-Kamm-Compagnie remains the only existing building.
History of development
The construction stages
The first project of the quarter was the building ensemble of the former Hamburger Gummi-Kamm-Compagnie on the northern Shanghaiallee . Since April 2008 it has served as the provisional seat of the Presidium of HafenCity University and as the seat of a private university for media and journalism. Nowadays the building houses exhibition areas that are used, among other things, for the private automobile museum Prototyp .
Further development will initially focus on the areas to the west of Lohsepark and the north of the area and will gradually grow towards the south. When the development work began, an 8,500 m² warehouse formed the center of the future quarter. This was used by freight forwarders and should not be demolished until 2018 at the earliest. However, after the lease was terminated early in 2013, the quarter could be developed more quickly.
The position of the old warehouse is the center of the Lohsepark . The Lohsepark, which cuts through the quarter, and all the building plots to the west of it, are currently under construction or in preparation. This includes the construction of two residential projects and two office projects on the banks of Brooktorhafen .
The residential projects together comprise around 40,000 m² of gross floor area with a total of 350 residential units . The third building at the most south-westerly point of the quarter is to consist of both apartments and a hotel and is in the preparation phase.
The area around the old Lohseplatz was opened as the first part of Lohsepark . The area south of Überseeallee was opened a little later in 2013. The area between these two zones is currently under construction and should open in summer 2016. Furthermore, the north shore zone on Stockmeyerstrasse is under construction.
Between Lohsepark and the railway line, a grammar school is to be built at the southern end of the quarter as development progresses. To the north of the grammar school, various buildings with different uses are to be built and thus complement the district.
Memorial for the deportees
At the end of 2009, an open space planning ideas and implementation competition for the design of the park and the associated so-called place of remembrance was announced. The memorial site is intended as a kind of memorial to commemorate the 7,692 Jews , Sinti and Roma from northern Germany who were deported from the Hanover train station between 1940 and 1945 . It is supplemented by a documentation center at the Ensemble of the Gummi-Kamm-Compagnie . The 30 offices invited to the competition were asked to take the station's facilities into account in their design and include relics from one of the platforms and several tracks in the design. On May 15, 2010 the award-winning design by the Zurich office Vogt Landschaftsarchitekten was presented to the public. It provides for a differentiated tree planting on the edges of the park area with individual design focal points, the central area of the park is kept free of trees in favor of a continuous line of sight. The opening of the Lohsepark is planned for spring 2016.
