Harbor basin

The harbor basin is located east of the entrance to Magdeburg harbor , parallel to the Norderelbe , on the opposite side of the Vltava harbor . The harbor basin is 130 meters wide and 1.5 kilometers long. In the course of the development of HafenCity, however, land reclamation measures made it smaller in both length and width. Nowadays the harbor basin is in three parts of the HafenCity. The western end is in the Elbtorquartier , the middle area in the eponymous Baakenhafen quarter and the eastern end in the Elbbrückenquartier .

history

The harbor basin was built in 1887. Between 1893 and the completion of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Hafen , the facilities at Petersen-Kai were leased to the then rapidly expanding Hamburg-American Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft . The shipping company Deutsche Ost-Afrika-Linie (from 1950 "Deutsche Afrika-Linien") leased these southern quays. From 1973 on, the Czechoslovak Elbe Shipping Company (ČSPL) used some of the facilities, including the 9,000 m² shed no. 23 and 450 linear meters of quay facilities.

Since the resolution of the Hamburg Senate in 1998, the port basin and the surrounding headlands have been formally part of the HafenCity project , in which the port areas south of Hamburg's inner city are released from their original use and converted into retail, commercial, residential and leisure-related areas should be.

The Baakenhafen sub-district is located in the eastern part of HafenCity and comprises the western part of the harbor basin and the two surrounding headlands. It is bounded in the north by the viaduct of the pillar railway , in the northwest the Baakenhafen borders on the Am Lohsepark quarter and in the east on the Elbbrücken quarter .

In May 2010 the revised and specified master plan for the eastern part of HafenCity was presented. The main uses of the quarter are to be residential and leisure-related uses, with hotels and office uses also to be represented to a lesser extent. On the south-western tip of the quarter, an unspecified prominent use is also planned; the master plan provides for a building height of up to 70 meters for this. The building density will be based overall on the already completed sub-district Am Sandtorkai / Dalmannkai .

The revised version provides for the following measures as major changes compared to the first version of the master plan:

  • Downsizing of the quarter by handing over the eastern part to the neighboring Elbbrücken quarter
  • Increase in building density
  • Greater differentiation of the building typologies
  • Pointing the Baakenhöft through prominent, multi-storey buildings
  • Creation of additional connections between the north and south of the district
  • Extension of the Lohsepark into the quarter
  • Filling up an approximately 1.5 hectare island in the eastern part of the harbor basin as a green and leisure facility

The first plots of land in the district are to be put out to tender in 2011; the first structural measure was a new bridge (Baakenhafenbrücke) laid over the harbor basin in June 2013. A design by the engineering office Wilkinson Eyre Architects from London won the architectural competition . Reference object: Gateshead Millennium Bridge . The bridge was opened with a public festival on August 10, 2013.

In 2020, the temporary Baakenhöft cruise terminal was completed in Baakenhafen. It will serve as an alternative terminal and will also be used as a multifunctional event location.

Public transport

The development, especially of the north-western part of the quarter, is mainly via the HafenCity Universität underground station on the U4 line . The eastern part is in the neighborhood Elbbrucken located underground and railway station Elbbrucken same subway line and tram lines S3 and S31 developed with. Bus stops are also planned at Baakenhöft and Baakenallee.

Olympic planning

As part of Hamburg's application to host the 2012 Summer Olympics , the area around Baakenhafen was included in the planning of the Olympic sports facilities. The facility for the swimming competitions should have been built on Baakenhöft in the far west of the southern headland.

As part of the application for the Olympic Summer Games 2024 , no use for the Olympic competition venues was planned on the area of ​​the quarter. These should take place entirely on the area of ​​the neighboring Kleine Grasbrook .
