The district in Daberstedt
In Daberstedt

Daberstedt is a district in the southeast of the Thuringian capital Erfurt with 13,486 inhabitants (December 31, 2011) on an area of ​​3.50 km².

Daberstedt extends between the Löbervorstadt in the west and the Krämpfervorstadt in the north over the hilly foothills of the Steigerwald . Today it is a residential area with rather loose buildings and a middle-class population structure. Larger commercial areas exist on Weimarische Strasse in the east. During the 20th century, Daberstedt was an important military location with numerous barracks, which still shape the picture today, although some have meanwhile been used for other purposes. More recently, the district has received supraregional media attention through the occupation of the Topf-und-Söhne site .

The district got its name from the former village of Daberstedt, which was destroyed in 1813 by the French occupation in Erfurt. It was not until the 20th century that the corridor was rebuilt and today's district of Daberstedt was created.

geography

Daberstedt borders the old town in the northwest . To the north, on the other side of the Thuringian Railway , lies the Krämpfervorstadt and to the west of Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse is the Löbervorstadt . In the southeast, the urban development goes into the Herrenberg and Melchendorf (without a common border), while the villages of Dittelstedt , Urbich and Linderbach border in the east .

The terrain of Daberstedt is hilly. In the middle of the district runs the valley of the Schwemmbach, which separates the heights of the Steigerwald in the west from the Rabenhügel and the Herrenberg in the east. The lowest point in Daberstedt is the Gera flood ditch at the main train station in the northwest with a height of about 195 meters. The terrain rises to the south and reaches about 235 meters on Käthe-Kollwitz-Straße (southern border of Daberstedt). At Rabenhügel in the southeast, a height of 230 meters is reached, as is the Henne barracks in the east.

In addition to Daberstedt, there used to be a second village, Schmidtstedt , in today's district corridor. However, this fell in ruins around 1350, while the village church was only demolished in 1631. The name for the eastern part of the corridor, Schmidtstedter corridor , is derived from this village . While the area of ​​Daberstedt was used for agriculture before Erfurt was de-fortified in 1873, the development of Daberstedt slowly began, which took place mainly between 1900 and 1960. The Schmidtstedter Flur, on the other hand, remained undeveloped agricultural land. Only after 1990 was it increasingly built upon with the creation of new commercial areas.

History of the village of Daberstedt

Daberstedt is said to be a foundation of the Frankish king Dagobert III. who ruled from 711 to 715. It was probably one of the first three villages near Erfurt, in which in the 8th / 9th. Century were settled by the Archbishops of Mainz Slavs . The place was first mentioned in a document in 1122 in an archbishopric document, then in 1157 as Wendish kitchen village Tabersteden . In return for various privileges (Mainz jurisdiction, customs and tax concessions), the kitchen villages supplied the Mainz administration in Erfurt with natural produce and performed manual and clamping services. In the 14th and 15th centuries, linen weaving and the serving of beer and wine flourished in Daberstedt.

During the Thirty Years War , Erfurt and the surrounding area were occupied by the Protestant Swedes in 1631. The governor and governor Duke Wilhelm von Weimar ruled in Erfurt on their behalf . He used his office to enrich himself. The council achieved its replacement by the Swede Alexander Eskens . This pushed the expansion of the city into a Swedish fortress. The rights of the predominantly Protestant city ​​of Erfurt to the previous property of the Mainz Archbishopric were confirmed by the King of Sweden on October 19, 1632. During this time, this included the Mainzerhof im Brühl and the Catholic kitchen villages of Witterda , Hochheim , Melchendorf , Daberstedt, Dittelstedt , various monasteries, monasteries and Catholic parish churches, subject to Swedish sovereignty. In 1633 the entire village of Daberstedt including its Georgskirche was demolished. The demolition material was used for the construction of the Sweden bastion in front of the Schmidtstedter Tor. After the Thirty Years' War Daberstedt was depopulated. It was then rebuilt in a makeshift manner, its church not until 1713. In 1664, French auxiliary troops of the Elector of Mainz destroyed the place again.

The village of Daberstedt, located in front of the Erfurt fortress , was then completely burned down by French soldiers from Erfurt on October 29, 1813 in order to have a clear field of fire against the besieging Prussian-Austrian-Russian armies. It was not rebuilt because it was in the area around the Erfurt city fortifications, which were not allowed to be built on until 1873. The local corridor of Daberstedt was incorporated into the city of Erfurt.

Neudaberstedt

The name Neudaberstedt does not refer to a specific quarter in Daberstedt, but to the rebuilding of the local corridor after the old village of Daberstedt no longer existed from 1813. In particular, it refers to the residents of small, isolated settler houses that were built around 1900, for example on Stadtweg or Melchendorfer Straße. Due to the later development of the entire corridor, these individual houses have now grown into the city and the image of a loose Neudaberstedt settlement from before the First World War is no longer perceptible. In 1912 this settlement got its own church, the Evangelical Lukaskirche on Stadtweg.

Clara-Zetkin-Strasse

Residential houses on the Nonnenrain

The area around Clara-Zetkin-Strasse is located in the northwest of Daberstedt between the Thuringian Railway in the north, Wilhelm-Busch-Strasse in the east, Häßlerstrasse in the south and Windthorststrasse in the west. It was the first part of Daberstedt that was built from 1873 and is therefore more marked than the other quarters by buildings from the period before 1920. While the northern part is built up to Holbeinstrasse with the typical four-story Erfurt apartment buildings, the southern part is dominated by a different architecture. Here, influenced by the English style, smaller houses were built, which cannot be compared with the villas of the Wilhelmine era, but also do not represent single-family houses as they later came into fashion. The two-story houses offer space for one or two families and are single, double or terraced and have small gardens in front of and behind the house. This meant that employees and civil servants lived in this quarter.

The Catholic Georgskapelle, which has taken over its patronage from the old Daberstedter village church and is located in the area of ​​the former village, is located on Rubensstrasse.

At the Schwemmbach

The Schwemmbach district joins the one around Clara-Zetkin-Strasse to the south. It extends from Häßlerstrasse in the north to Stadtweg in the east, Käthe-Kollwitz-Strasse in the south and Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse in the west. In the north there are mainly row houses from the interwar and early post-war period, while in the south there are old new buildings from the first two decades of the GDR period. In between are former barracks from the 1930s, one of which is now the seat of the Thuringian State Criminal Police Office . The Bundesbank branch, the Employment Agency and the Thuringian Ministry of Economics, Labor and Technology are also based here.

Reichsbahnsiedlung

The Reichsbahnsiedlung was built in the 1950s and 1960s as a housing estate for the employees of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR. The Reichsbahn housing association built numerous old buildings between Wilhelm-Busch-Strasse, Rudolstädter Strasse and Hans-Grundig-Strasse . In the far north of the Nonnenrain and Klausenerstrasse districts there are some older tenement houses from the Wilhelmine era. The already existing reference to the railroad is evident in the history of the housing cooperative "Einheit" and is reflected in street names after Hermann von Budde and Karl von Thielen . The Spielbergtor office complex was built on Weimarische Strasse in the 1990s next to the former factory premises of JA Topf and Sons . The crematorium ovens for the concentration camps were made here during the Second World War . After reunification, the site was closed and in 2001 it was occupied by activists . The aim was the authentic preservation of the historic place as a memorial, while investors planned the demolition and rebuilding of the area. The occupation ended in 2009 after a violent eviction by the police after attempts to mediate had failed. A success, however, was the attention that was received. So at least the former Topf & Sons administration building could be preserved. This is where the Topf & Sons memorial was created , the exhibition of which was opened on January 27, 2011. The other factory buildings, however, were demolished and replaced by new shopping centers.

Raven Hill

Rabenhügel occupies the southeast of the district. The quarter is characterized by a mix of homes and apartment buildings from the 1920s / 1930s to the mid-20th century. There used to be barracks here too, so the Blumenthal barracks from the 1930s now serve as the seat of the Thuringian Ministry of Finance . In the north of the district is the Daberstedts sports stadium on Wilhelm-Busch-Straße.

Schmidtstedter corridor

The Schmidtstedter Flur is named after the village of Schmidtstedt that used to be located here and extends along Weimarische Strasse ( Bundesstrasse 7 ) from Rudolstädter Strasse in the west to the Linderbach border in the east. Due to its location directly on the major traffic routes, it has been characterized by industrial use rather than residential development since the 19th century. After reunification, new shopping centers were created here on a large scale, including the Thuringian shopping center (TEC) with numerous shops and a Metro wholesale market . There were also car dealerships and hardware stores in particular. To the east of the Schmidtstedter Flur is the Henne barracks , one of the last barracks in Erfurt that is still used by the military. The few remaining undeveloped areas of the Schmidtstedter Flur are used for agriculture.

Population development

The development of Daberstedt began around 1900 and was largely completed by 1970. A district with around 15,000 inhabitants was created. Since Daberstedt was neither an unrenovated old building area nor a large prefabricated housing estate and was still in great demand as a residential area, the number of inhabitants remained relatively constant even after reunification. However, the influx of younger people remained lower than in other parts of Erfurt, so that Daberstedt today has a comparatively old population, most of which have lived there for several decades.

A building census in 2006 showed that there are 1644 buildings in Daberstedt with 7368 apartments, of which 723 or 10% were vacant. By 2009, the number of apartments decreased slightly to 7358, the number of buildings also fell to 1639, while the vacancy rate fell to 642 apartments (8.7%).

The number of births (around 110 births per year) is well below the number of deaths (around 160 per year), while the migration balance is balanced. This leads to a slow and small decrease in the population in Daberstedt. The proportion of foreigners is extremely low at 0.99% (2009) (Erfurt average about 3.3%) and underlines the low demographic mobility in the district.

Economy and Transport

While the military, the railways and various industrial companies used to be the largest employers in Daberstedt, today it is authorities such as the finance and economics ministries or the employment office. In addition, service and trade in the companies on Weimarische Strasse offer numerous jobs.

The two main thoroughfares in the district are Weimarstrasse ( Bundesstrasse 7 ), which leads from Erfurt to Weimar , and Clara-Zetkin-Strasse / Am Schwemmbach, which leads from Erfurt to Bundesautobahn 4 and to Kranichfeld . Rudolstädter Strasse leads from Erfurt to Dittelstedt and Häßlerstrasse, Käthe-Kollwitz-Strasse and Eisenberger Strasse serve as cross connections.

The district is mainly connected to public transport via lines 3 and 4 on Windthorst- / Friedrich-Ebert-Straße (western border of Daberstedt) and bus line 9 in the eastern part. Further city bus lines complete the connection. A trolleybus line used to run from Erfurt through Daberstedt to Melchendorf and, between 1904 and 1922, another tram line ran between the city center and the beginning of Rudolstädter Straße.

elections

Since Daberstedt forms a district, but not a district according to § 45 of the Thuringian municipal code, there are no political bodies such as district council or district mayor for him.

Daberstedt is part of the Erfurt IV state electoral district , for which André Blechschmidt (Die Linke) sits in the fifth Thuringian state parliament . He received 28.4% of the vote here. Daberstedt is considered a lower middle-class district in which the SPD in particular is slightly above its Erfurt average.
