Development
The Tscharnergut is a large development built between 1958 and 1965, consisting of terraced houses , apartment buildings , disc houses and high-rise buildings . As the largest residential construction project in Switzerland at the end of the 1950s, the building also attracted international attention.
Building history and building description
In 1949, the city of Bern acquired the former estate of the von Tscharner patrician family from Bern . The housing shortage associated with the economic boom in the 1950s was the main reason for building over the previously agriculturally used area. In 1955 the city held a competition for this, which the architects Lienhard & Strasser (Hans-Rudolf Lienhard, 1925–1974 and Ulyss Strasser, 1924–2016) won. An architects' association was founded for the execution of the project, to which, in addition to the competition winners, Hans and Gret Reinhard , who are close to the family building cooperative, and the architects Eduard Helfer (1920–1981), Walter Kormann (1902–1986), who are closely related to the Brünnen-Eichholz building cooperative , and Ernst Indermühle († 1964) belonged. The Tscharnergut development represents a further development of the neighboring Neuhaus development, built by Eduard Helfer between 1956 and 1957, where high-rise buildings were built for the first time in Bern in addition to multi-family and terraced houses. With a school, kindergartens, playgrounds, shops and apartments for the elderly, the Tscharnergut corresponded to the idea of a so-called satellite town, which was coined in particular at the 1957 International Building Exhibition in Berlin .
The residential buildings
In Tscharnergut there are five twenty-storey high-rise buildings in the north of the site and eight eight-storey disc houses arranged at right angles to them. In the south, the development is completed by four-storey apartment buildings, with a total of nine terraced houses in between.
On the access side, the facades of the disc houses are characterized by arcades and two attached elevator and staircase towers. The lifts only stop on intermediate landings, each serving two floors. This form of development was chosen in order to keep the construction costs and thus the rents as low as possible and to obtain more living space inside thanks to the lack of development cores.
The facades of the high-rise buildings consist of prefabricated sandwich concrete elements and give the buildings the character of a prefabricated building . Thanks to the element construction, there was no need for complex scaffolding.
The outside space
The individual buildings are connected to one another by large green areas, each of which was intended for its own purpose. In the west of the settlement, for example, a toboggan hill was heaped up from excavated material, other areas serve as lawns for sunbathing or ball playgrounds. Although Lienhard & Strasser's competition designs still provided access roads, the Tscharnergut was deliberately designed to be traffic-free during the planning process, so that to this day only a footpath in the middle of the site from west to east connects the green spaces.
The Tscharnergut as a listed building
In the inventory of Swiss sites of national importance worthy of protection (ISOS), the Tscharnergut is designated as a category A building group (“majority of buildings and rooms with original substance”) and with the conservation objective A (“preservation of the substance, ban on demolition, no new buildings, Detailed regulations for changes »). The preservation of monuments of the city of Bern lists the skyscrapers and slab buildings in the building inventory as "objects of cantonal importance worthy of protection", other buildings such as the apartment buildings, single-family houses or the school are worth preserving or noting.
Despite the monument protection, a block of flats (high-rise Fellerstrasse 30) in Tscharnergut can be demolished. A renovation would lead to unreasonable costs, and after a renovation it could not be rented at full cost. The new building at the same location is to be designed similar to the demolished building, but with more contemporary living space. A comparable building type, Waldmannstrasse 25, was renovated, whereby the (too) high costs became clear. Appeals by the Bern homeland security have so far been in vain.
Other facilities
There are shops and restaurants in a shopping center on Riedbachstrasse and in the Tscharnergut shopping center. Kindergarten and children's club, the Tscharnergut school and the “Tierli-Zoo” with some pets are part of the infrastructure.
On Fellerstrasse to the south there is a location for the Bern University of the Arts in the former commercial building, two buildings belonging to the federal authorities ( Federal Office for Buildings and Logistics and the IT service of the Federal Department of Justice and Police ) and a central waste disposal facility.
traffic
S-Bahn trains run from Bümpliz Nord station on the Bern – Neuchâtel line to Bern (every 15 minutes) and in the direction of Kerzers (every half hour) with connections to Murten or Ins or Neuchâtel . The tram line 8 runs from the station Brünnen Westside over the center of Bern to Saali. The bus 27 operates tangentially between low cheeks and Weyermannshaus bath . The Autobahn 1 with the Bern-Bethlehem exit is easy to reach.
