Elbtorquartier
The Elbtorquartier is a part of HafenCity in Hamburg that is currently under construction . According to the given thematic and functional focus of the individual quarters of HafenCity, the Elbtorquartier was assigned the topics of science , education and creativity . One of the central projects in this context is the new building for HafenCity University , which deals with the topics of architecture , urban planning , civil engineering and geomatics .
Urban planning concept
Location and initial situation
The quarter is located in the central area of HafenCity and borders on the water surface of the Magdeburg harbor to the west and opposite the Überseequartier , the central part of HafenCity. In the north, the Elbtorquartier borders on the Brooktorhafen and the Brooktorkai / Ericus district behind it, and in the east on the Am Lohsepark district . In the south the area is bounded by the Norderelbe .
A special feature of the Elbtorquartier is the more extensive maintenance and continued use of the existing buildings compared to the other sub-quarters.
concept
The development structure of the district largely follows an orthogonal order grid that is based on the existing development; At the Brooktorhafen , the Kaispeicher B , the so-called Heinemannspeicher and its extension form the northern end of the quarter. To the south, a closed block edge, which partly takes up existing buildings, and the elongated structure to the east of the Magdeburg harbor . This is adjoined by a trapezoidal structure, the shape of which is given in the north by the neighboring buildings and in the south by Überseeallee . South of Überseeallee are the solitary buildings of the HafenCity University and a high-rise. The latter do not adhere to the given order and are freely orientated in space.
chosen projects
Development of Magdeburg Harbor
Since the end of 2010, a 170-meter-long wing with a total of 30,000 m² gross floor area has been built adjacent to Magdeburg harbor . The building is divided into three main areas of use and a connecting so-called city loggia , a kind of arcade that is also part of the open space concept of the Magdeburg harbor .
125 residential units are being built in the northern part of the building . The middle area is used by designport hamburg and is to be established as the central representation of Hamburg's creative industry. To design hamburg include public design center designxport which will focus specifically design work from Hamburg, exhibition and event spaces, library, archive, design-related retail concepts, catering and office space as well as residential and work lofts for companies in the creative industries. The southern part of the ensemble will be used by Greenpeace and Greenpeace Energy as the new German headquarters. Continuous public use is planned for the ground floor, for example in the form of retail and catering .
The Elbarkaden had already been awarded the HafenCity Ecolabel in gold. There is also a pre-certificate for the German Sustainable Building Certificate in gold.
HafenCity Ecumenical Forum
The HafenCity Ecumenical Forum on Shanghaiallee is a joint project by 13 Christian churches, including the North Elbian Evangelical Lutheran Church and the Archdiocese of Hamburg .
The design for the building, which received an award in July 2009, was developed by a consortium made up of the Saarbrücker Büro Wandel, Hoefer and Lorch and the Frankfurt architect Nikolaus Hirsch. The working group had previously designed award-winning sacred buildings in Munich and Dresden .
The foundation stone was laid at the end of October 2010, the topping-out ceremony at the end of September 2011. After the handover of the baptismal font and the Laurentius relic in the Ecumenical Chapel on May 23, 2012, the HafenCity Ecumenical Forum was opened on June 18, 2012.
HafenCity University
The new HafenCity University (HCU) building was built in the southern part of the quarter and was occupied from February 2014 and has been in use since the 2014 summer semester. The main study and research areas of the HCU are the areas of architecture , urban planning , civil engineering and geomatics related to questions of urbanism . The building design comes from the Dresden office Code Unique ; the foundation stone was laid on December 13, 2010.
Townhouse hotel
By 2014 [obsolete] , the 80-room largest integration hotel in Europe is to be built on Shanghaiallee , where people with and without mental and physical disabilities will work together. The operator will be the Stadthaushotel Hamburg , which already has a smaller hotel in the Altona district .
Development
Public transport
The main development function is provided by the U4 subway line . The HafenCity Universität subway station is located in the neighboring Am Lohsepark district in the south of the quarter, immediately east of the HafenCity University that gives it its name .
In the north-east, bus route 111 operates during the day and route 602 operates at night to the Koreastrasse stop .
