The Bergl (place name: am Bergl ) is a district of the independent city of Schweinfurt in the Bavarian administrative district of Lower Franconia on the district of Oberndorf . It is listed as District 21 in the statistics of the city of Schweinfurt. The Bergl is a salaried and (former) working-class district and, according to inhabitants, the second largest of the 15 districts of Schweinfurt after the city center . The core area of the district is northwest of the main train station and the main factory of FAG Kugelfischer , today Schaeffler .
geography
location
The Bergl in the narrower sense is the district of almost exactly one square kilometer that was built to the northwest of the John F Kennedy Ring essentially since the 1950s. In a broader sense, it is the district listed in the city statistics as District 21, to which almost the entire Oberndorf district north of the main station is assigned, with few additional residents but a lot of industry and urban infrastructure.
District 21 borders the city center in the east on Friedrichstrasse (districts 12/13), in the south along Hauptbahnhof- and Gustav-Heusinger-Strasse on the main station, which is part of the Oberndorf district (districts 61/62), and in the west on the railway line to Erfurt and in the north to the Schulzentrum-West, which is part of the Musikerviertel (District 22), and to Fritz-Drescher-Straße. The two-lane John F Kennedy Ring cuts through District 21 from north to south.
topography
The mountain lies on a strip only 2.5 km wide between the rivers Main and Wern , which is only the size of a brook here. The small hill on the mountain, on which Oberndorf built its water tower , prevents the Wern from flowing into the Main here. As a result, it only flows into the Main 30 km further west, near Gemünden , and on this way becomes a small river and Lower Franconia's third largest flowing water.
history
The area of today's district belonged to the municipality Oberndorf until it was incorporated into Schweinfurt on December 1, 1919. The area of today's Bergl district was still uninhabited and undeveloped at that time, but consistently agriculturally used long- striped corridor .
The first residential buildings were erected along the railway line to Erfurt from the 1920s . The systematic settlement of the district began in 1938. The mountain was built on a large scale from the 1950s to 1973 and clearly reflects the development of social housing and urban planning of that time. The Bergl on Oberndorfer district ( Am Bergl is an old Oberndorfer field name) was and is also residential area for workers and employees employed in the Schweinfurt large-scale industry, with numerous company apartments . Rental apartments still predominate in the Bergl today. The only historical building fabric of the district from the time before the First World War is the Oberndorf water tower from 1912, which became the landmark of the mountain and which used to be used to supply the older mother city district of Oberndorf with water . Oberndorf tried in vain to avoid incorporation into Schweinfurt (see: Schweinfurt, incorporation ).
Around 1970 the actual district had its highest level with only about 0.8 km² with 13,000 inhabitants and thus just as many inhabitants as the 20 km further north, which was then still an independent city Bad Kissingen . With a population density of approx. 16,000 inhabitants per square kilometer, the mountain had a value at that time that is usually only achieved in city centers or in large urban areas.
Social structure

District 21 (Bergl) |
The entire Schweinfurt area |
|---|---|---|
| German | 57.3% | 70.7% |
| Dual nationals | 23.9% | 16.1% |
| Foreigners | 18.8% | 13.2% |
As a district with previously cheap living space, the Bergl has a relatively high proportion of migrants . The proportion of foreign citizens and dual nationals is on the one hand well above the urban average, but on the other hand well below the district's top values ( compare: Schweinfurt list , city structure ). Due to the partly old and low-quality buildings, the mountain has so far been particularly attractive to low-income sections of the population.
This is also reflected in the election results. In the 2017 Bundestag election , the SPD achieved their best results of all parts of Schweinfurt with 23.31% and the Left with 15.25%.
Until the 1970s , the Bergl was a working-class district , which in the following decades became a problematic district as a result of rising unemployment , influx of migrants and segregation . On the other hand, it offers numerous advantages and has always been popular with many of its residents.
Then there was a change. Due to the generally strong increase in rents in recent times, the mountain with its very good public transport connections and infrastructure has become increasingly interesting again for tenants and property developers . Since the 2010s, the district has been changing its face by replacing buildings from the 1950s with new buildings and by renovating large apartment blocks from building cooperatives from the 1960s and 1970s. As a result of the population increase in Schweinfurt in recent times and at the same time scarce space, the mountain has moved back into the focus of urban development .
Districts
Bergl
The southern area of the mountain from the early 1950s is called the Altes Bergl . The row- style apartment blocks typical of the time dominate here, while semi-detached houses were built on the southern edge . The business center on the Alter Bergl is the Berliner Platz around the water tower. The first high-rise building in Main Franconia was built on the northern edge of the Alter Bergl in the 1950s .
In the 1960s, the northern area of the district was built around its new main access road, Oskar-von-Miller-Straße. With numerous eight -story point buildings and the twelve-story residential slab . Efforts were made to break the monotony of the row buildings, with different building forms and a mix of apartment blocks and private homes, with terraced houses and atrium houses . The development of the district was completed in the early 1970s, with a third, large business center with self-service markets on the eastern edge of the mountain, an angular high-rise on Geldersheimer Straße and a high-rise on John-F-Kennedy-Ring (popularly: White giant ). As a result, the northern area of the mountain developed into a large settlement .
Heisenbergstrasse
A tennis hall on the northern edge of the district was demolished. Here Heisenbergstrasse was newly laid out and built on from the 1990s. Among other things with a project in the experimental housing construction of the WAG-Wiederaufbau-GmbH Schweinfurt (today: SWG Stadt- und Wohnbau GmbH ), with multi-storey residential buildings in wood construction .
Haylmannstrasse
The old blocks of flats on the southern part of the mountain, especially around Haylmannstrasse, fell into disrepair, also because of problems with the foundation of the building. To counteract the ghettoization , all buildings on Haylmannstrasse were demolished in the 1990s and the street ran through a green meadow until 2016. In 2014, the city council decided to change the development plan to develop a condominium complex, terraced houses and a facility for assisted living . As a result, a large care center was built across Haylmannstrasse at the beginning, near Berliner Platz, as an urban barrier. The street area behind it became a cul-de-sac, where high-quality residential buildings, some with penthouses , have been built since 2017 .
Bahnhofsviertel

In the broadest sense, the area bordering the actual residential district of Bergl to the south, between John-F-Kennedy-Ring and the main train station , also belongs to the Bergl district, as it was assigned to the same statistical district 21. This area borders in the south on the main station, in the west on the long railway overpass Franz-Josef-Strauss-Brücke of the John-F-Kennedy-Ring and in the north on the same ring. In the east, the entire main plant of FAG Kugelfischer belongs to it, today the Schaeffler Group .
Stresemannstraße runs through the actual station district, west of Schaeffler. A generously laid out six-lane avenue with a wide, park-like median, in which car traffic has been reduced in favor of bicycle traffic. On Stresemannstrasse there is a complex with the former postal garages, in New Objectivity , which was built from 1928 to 1930 and is a listed building. With telegraph and telephone office , which was relocated from Schweinfurt to nearby Bad Kissingen during the war to avoid the bombing raids. This is also the reason why the health resort now has a shorter phone code (0971) than Schweinfurt (09721).
In the west there is a small industrial area and along the main train station there is a seldom urban area in Schweinfurt with commercial and residential areas. To the east, around Bayerstrasse, is a small residential area from the 1920s and 30s.
Property colony
The Sachskolonie at the western end of the Bahnhofsviertel, at the Franz-Josef-Strauss-Brücke, is a housing estate built in 1922/23 for employees of the Fichtel & Sachs company , with eleven semi-detached houses in the Heimat style and is a listed building.
Schaeffler
At the former Kugelfischer parent plant along Hauptbahnhofsstrasse and Georg-Schäfer-Strasse, the picture typical of the local large-scale industry presents itself, with long fronts of clinker buildings from the 1930s , here also from the 1950s . Kugelfischer's oldest administrative building on Hauptbahnhofsstrasse, a clinker brick building from the turn of the century , survived the last war. Next to it is the FAG high-rise, a modern steel frame construction with a curtain wall from around 1970.
Attractions
The massive water tower on Berliner Platz, which is illuminated at night, was built in 1912 and renovated in stages from 1995.
The Protestant Church of the Resurrection (1958–1959) by Olaf Andreas Gulbransson with a campanile from 1962 is an extraordinary modern church building. The ground plan of the church combines an octagon with a Greek cross . It is the masterpiece of Gulbransson, in red exposed bricks with modern ornamentation, inside with blue spindle columns and a large wheel chandelier , which represents the twelve gates of the Heavenly Jerusalem .
With this church, Gulbransson created the only example of a new architectural style that combines ornamentation , handicrafts and modernity and which, as a result of his fatal car accident, was not consistently continued in other posthumously completed churches. The church is a listed building and in sharp contrast to the district.
In the north of the mountain, two buildings impress with their size and clear shapes. The 135-meter-long living disc , a disc high-rise , which can be found in this form rare in residential high-rises and usually only at office towers. It is Lower Franconia 's largest residential building. At a 90 ° angle, a rod-shaped, 180-meter-long apartment block consisting of eleven houses extends along Breslaustraße. Both buildings date from the 1960s. The fifteen-storey high-rise opposite the residential slab from the 1950s, with a very disordered structure in sharp contrast to the residential slab , is Lower Franconia's oldest high-rise. Because the seven-storey high-rise in the Würzburger Augustenstrasse, in the historicizing style of the 1920s, was demolished.
Anyone who dares to walk behind the residential window looks into a residential ghetto in a large housing estate with a very high proportion of migrants , with an atmosphere that one does not expect in provincial Lower Franconia.
Infrastructure
The mountain has a very good infrastructure, which sometimes goes far beyond local supply, as a center for the western urban area, with secondary schools for the entire region. The shops are concentrated around Berliner Platz, the residential slab and a large parking lot of a shopping center east of Oskar-von-Miller-Straße.
In the middle of the mountain there are two schools, the Albert-Schweitzer-Grundschule and the Albert-Schweitzer-Mittelschule. On the northern edge of the district is the large West School Center, with a Montessori elementary school and a Montessori middle school, the Alexander von Humboldt grammar school with a branch of the city library and numerous vocational and secondary schools. There are kindergartens run by several providers (Protestant and Catholic Church, Montessori, Arbeiterwohlfahrt ). In addition, the children and youth clubs Scheibe and Café Morisson , which will move from the residential disc to a new building at the Albert Schweitzer School in 2021. In the center of the district are two churches, the Protestant Church of the Resurrection and the Catholic Christ the King Church .
The mountain is very well connected to local and long-distance transport. With the two short-cycle city bus routes 11 and 12 and on the southern edge of the district with the main train station and a bus station for regional and long-distance buses. Numerous parts of the city and the Autobahn 70 and 71 can be reached quickly via the John-F-Kennedy-Ring .
leisure
There is a park on the Wern . A bike path leads from here to Geldersheim , 2 km away , an old Franconian village with a historic townscape and fortified church , which is in sharp contrast to the Bergl which is within sight.
