history
The city Reinbek heard since the end of World War II to the metropolitan region of Hamburg and thus got priority for the creation of housing space.
The Cronsberg settlement was built on open spaces within Alt-Reinbek immediately after the Second World War and was intended as a response to the housing shortage of the large number of people displaced from the eastern regions and those bombed out in Hamburg. Reinbek's population rose from around 4,000 in 1939 to almost 10,000 in 1948.
The area in which the settlement was to be built was arable land until the early 1950s and belonged to the Bergedorf businessman Richard Meyer who had emigrated to America. After difficult negotiations between the city of Reinbek and the then mayor Hermann Körner with Meyer, it was acquired by WoBau in Kiel.
The architect Konstanty Gutschow won the architectural competition in 1954 and the construction of the first sections began in the same year. The settlement was designed as a mixed area, consisting of pensioners' apartments, rental apartments and row homes. In addition, the settlement of commercial and retail trade, gas stations and hotels was planned. A generous green belt was designed for recreation and children's play facilities and prepared according to plans by the garden architect Lemke. A special feature was the intention to allow urban and private greenery to act as a cohesive residential landscape. Enclosures were therefore only allowed to be made from living green. This intention continues to this day and makes part of the attractiveness of the residential area.
In keeping with the zeitgeist of the time and in order to give the displaced people a sense of home, the street names were named after cities from the lost eastern regions (Hirschberger Weg, Stargarder Weg, Danziger Strasse, Ostlandring, etc.), divided into "Schlesisches Viertel", "Pommernviertel" and " Prussian Quarter ”.
At the beginning of the 1960s, the “Carpe Diem” cinema was built on the corner of Auf dem Große Ruhm and Danziger Straße . The owner was Heinz Wemper , who also owned the Reinbeker Sachsenwaldtheater. What was unique about the cinema was the widescreen projection method over three sides, which gave the visitor the feeling of being in the middle of the action. At that time this cinema was considered the most modern cinema in Europe, but it could not last long and was closed again after a few years. A supermarket was later housed in the building, but it has since been demolished and replaced by residential buildings. The original company building of the pharmaceutical manufacturer Hermal Kurt Herrmann GmbH & Co. OHG was also located on Danziger Straße. The company later relocated its production to the Reinbek-Glinde industrial area and has since been taken over by Almirall .
