The Druwappelplatz was the first built-up and until about 1955 the central square of the Reutershagen district , Rostock . The Liningweg and the Miningweg intersect on it . The local office west and the Reutershagen market as today's center with the Reuterpassage are in the immediate vicinity (100 m south).

history

The development of the Druwappelplatz began in the course of Rostock's garden city movement, which was postponed by the First World War . Originally planned as a “small settlement Barnstorf-Bramow”, the first houses were built in 1920 on Siedlungsweg (today Liningweg) and the central settlement area (today Druwappelplatz). The spacious plots were built with semi-detached houses. In accordance with the idea of ​​the garden city movement, there were large garden areas behind the houses for self-production of vegetables and for courtly animal husbandry. In addition, the fields behind the houses were leased by the residents for growing grain and potatoes.

The names of the Druwappelplatz as well as the Lining and Miningweg have only been documented since 1922 and this year is considered the year Reutershagen was founded.

A large part of public life took place on Druwappelplatz as the central square. Here in Druwappelplatz 2, in addition to the post office of the post office, there was also the local representative of the district office for Rostock-Schutow. Accordingly, the box with the official notices was set up on Druwappelplatz . The delivery route of the post ran around the square and was distributed from here throughout Reutershagen.

With the expansion of Reutershagen from 1953 to include “Reutershagen 1”, the square lost its importance. Residents received parts as an exchange area for areas that had disappeared behind the houses and which today belong to Conrad-Blenkle- and Mathias-Thesen-Straße. This exchange was not recognized by the city of Rostock after the fall of the Wall , as it was not entered in the land register during the GDR era. The affected residents have paid since the exchange and pay z. Until today (as of 2015) property taxes to the city of Rostock for the changed area. The affected area was used for horticulture. The remainder of the Druwappelplatz, which officially remained in the possession of the city in GDR times, became overgrown. The ownership of the property shares is still clearly visible today (as of 2015) in the state of care.

Trivia

The Druwappelplatz was designed by the residents with a linden tree in front of each house and a Druwappel tree in the center. Two 100-year-old linden trees have been preserved from the original planting. There are also some 50-year-old linden trees and various trees that are listed in the tree register of the city of Rostock.

The Druwappel has been described for more than 400 years and is one of the oldest documented fruit species. It was very common in northern Germany and is now rare and threatened.

Lining and Mining Nüßler were two siblings from the stories by Fritz Reuter , whom he called "Druwappels" because of their "yellow" hair and red cheeks. These three motifs gave the name of the first streets and the central square and the creator was honored with the district name Reutershagen.

Reuter made the Druwappel famous so that it was included in other well-known works, as well as lining and mining.

Efforts to sell the place

The city of Rostock has put the Druwappelplatz up for sale. She argues with the lack of housing, the one-time monetary effect for the tight budget and the lack of public use. Only one linden tree from the numerous trees is to be preserved.

On the other hand, an initiative has been set up to preserve the place. She argues with the dedication of the square due to the unprecedented statute of limitations , since the square is viewed as public by the residents, the local office and the local advisory board and has been earmarked for a memorial design for years (minutes of the local advisory board meeting on March 8, 2011: "Property area in the area of Druwappelplatz is the origin of Alt Reutershagen, marking on the public property would be conceivable ”). In this sense, the initiative supports the design of the area in preparation and appreciation of the 800th anniversary of the Hanseatic city of Rostock and the 100th anniversary of the Reutershagen district and has developed concepts that are supported by the local council and many citizens. The narrow and, according to the tender, much higher planned development than the existing building (11.50 m instead of the usual 8.50 m) is criticized because Reutershagen's character as a green settlement would be destroyed at its origin. That would be in clear contrast to the guidelines for urban development Rostock 2025.

The main committee of the citizenship of the Hanseatic City of Rostock decided on the sale and development of the square with the vote of the mayor Roland Methling against the vote of the local advisory board, the property and allocation committee and the votes of a citizens' initiative on November 17, 2015. The citizens' initiative has then submitted a petition to the mayor and the president of the citizenry , the aim of which is to cancel the resolution.
