The Lorraine (or the Lorraine-Quartier) is a statistical district (28) and a smaller common district of the city of Bern . Wylergut and a small western part of Wyler also belong to the statistical district .
In 2019, 4024 inhabitants lived in the statistical district, 3280 of them Swiss and 744 foreigners. In the usual quarter there are 2548 inhabitants, of which 1955 are Swiss and 593 are foreigners.
The Lorraine is located northwest of the old town of Bern, on an Aare terrace opposite the old town . As a city quarter, it emerged in the course of the 18th century. It was and still is a workers' quarter.
history
Johann von Steiger, also known as the "Lorraine captain" (Lorraine corresponds to Lorraine), built the Lorraine manor here in 1705. Between 1750 and 1777 the "Lorraine-Gut" as well as the "Rabbental-Güter" to the south and west belonged to members of the Frisching family . The Steck-Gut at Lorrainestrasse 80 was later developed from the "Lorraine-Gut".
In 1760 Franz Rudolf Frisching , together with partners, founded the Faience Manufactory Frisching in Lorraine , which was then well-known far beyond the borders of the city of Bern . The factory existed until 1776. After the freshing faience factory ceased operations , Franz Rudolf Frisching's brother Karl Albrecht applied for a license to operate a bathing establishment with a brewery instead of the faience factory a few years later. Karl Albrecht received the concession on September 16, 1785 from Schultheiss and the City Council of Bern. The economy that still exists today was added to the brewery building around 1800. The wooden house in the Biedermeier style, which was originally used as a drinking pavilion, dates from around 1830 to the east of today's garden restaurant. The remnants of the former Altenberg bath, which contained the baths, are located on Uferweg 7. The river baths on the side of the river fell victim to the correction of the river Aare from 1910-15. The music pavilion from 1887, which originally rests on stilts and is now used for serving, has remained.
The first train station in the city of Bern was in Lorraine , but only provisionally because the Aare bridge was not yet completed. The railway construction was the initiator of the neighborhood construction, but also its curse. The line of the railway separated the quarter from the rest of the city for years. The route at that time led along today's roads Dammweg and Nordring and then crossed the Aare on the Red Bridge . A road was also built into the bridge, which was the main connection between the quarter and the city. Immediately to the east of this railway bridge, the Lorraine Bridge was built in 1930 . The old railway line was abandoned in 1941 and replaced by the Lorraine Viaduct .
The quarter is also characterized by the Bern Commercial Industrial Vocational School , whose main building is the most visible building in the quarter. The building is strongly inspired by the works of Le Corbusier . It was built in 1937–39 according to the plans of Hans Brechbühler and is a national monument.
