 Gartenstadt district (District 32)
|
|
The garden city is a district of the independent city of Schweinfurt in the Bavarian administrative district of Lower Franconia . It is listed as District 32 in the statistics of the city of Schweinfurt.
location
The garden city is located in the northwest of the urban area. The nearby main cemetery is assigned to the northern district in the statistical overview map . The garden city lies on a hill on the Maibacher Höhe and drops steeply in the southwest into the Gartenstädter valley, which separates it from the northwestern part of the city. It is bordered in the north by the monk's cowls , an area with fields for which the zoning plan of the city of Schweinfurt (from 1984) provides for a possible new residential district. In the east it is separated from the northern part of the city by Rhönstrasse and in the south by the northern edge of the main cemetery. The Pfannäcker corridor on the western edge of the garden city has not yet been assigned to a district in the statistical overview plan , as it has not yet been populated. Development was originally planned, but there is no time for the planning to be implemented.
history
The beginnings of the Schweinfurt garden city lie in the 1920s in the course of the garden city movement . Right from the start, the district has been closely associated with the housing cooperative Bauverein Schweinfurt, which was founded in 1917 due to a housing shortage . The first houses were completed in 1920, most of them were built in the years of the Weimar Republic on the then Galgenleite corridor , which points to an earlier route to an execution site in front of the city gates. Up to and including the time of the First World War, the area of the later part of the city was undeveloped and was about one kilometer from the gates of Schweinfurt city center .
The garden city was laid out as a settlement in the countryside as part of the garden city concept, not far from a tank barracks of the Wehrmacht that were also newly built in the 1930s and the main cemetery in Schweinfurt. Initially, mainly one- and two-family houses and terraced houses were built, and in 1941 three bunkers with a total of 1775 spaces that are still standing. Several streets in the garden city were initially named after leaders of the German labor movement (e.g. Liebknechtstrasse, Karl-Marx-Strasse) and then renamed several times both during and after the time of National Socialism, most recently often after leaders and under Nazi rule persecuted social democrats and trade unionists from the region such as Fritz Soldmann or Josef Säckler.
After the Second World War , especially in the 1950s, the housing association added further rental buildings to the district's building stock, which is why it still owns almost all of the rental apartments in the district to this day. The neighboring barracks of the former Wehrmacht were taken over by the US Army after 1945, which they used until 2014 under the name Ledward Barracks . Between the barracks and the district, two colonies of allotments called Alte Warte and Sonnenblick, which have now grown together and are often still part of the district, emerged in the post-war period. At the end of the 1960s, the district had largely reached its current building stock, in 1970 the garden city school (elementary school) with its own swimming pool was opened.
In the decades since then there has been extensive modernization work and a few demolitions and new buildings; over the next few years, 70 houses are planned to be demolished as part of a major renovation project.
Social structure
| Status December 31, 2015 |
Garden city | The entire Schweinfurt area |
|---|---|---|
| German | 84.0% | 70.7% |
| Dual nationals | 9.4% | 16.1% |
| Foreigners | 6.6% | 13.2% |
The proportion of migrants in the garden city is well below the value of the entire Schweinfurt area due to the many homes in the district.
Topography and building structure
The district (since 1920) is bordered by two valleys, in each of which there was a clay pit with a brick factory on the lee side until the 1950s . A green area was later created in the clay pit to the south in the Gartenstädter Valley.
In the development, the characteristic forms of the garden city movement predominate, with small single-family houses , semi-detached houses , groups of houses and row houses , in an ideal urban location on a south-west slope. Newer areas were built in the 1930s and 1950s.
By far the largest part of the garden city has medium-sized residential areas. Good residential areas can be found on Heinrich-Winkler-Strasse at the western end of the district. The densely built-up core of the garden city has simple residential areas on the middle section of the Galgenleite and on Gartenstadtstraße.
Churches
In the post-war period, the Catholic community in the district grew significantly, so that the Catholic parish church Maria Hilf was built on Fritz-Soldmann-Straße in the 1950s .
A Protestant emergency church built in the garden city after the Second World War was replaced in 1964 by the new Christ Church on the district boundary.
A landmark of the district that is visible from afar to the west is the large figure of Christ above the Gartenstädter Valley, on the grave of the Schweinfurt industrialist family Sachs in the main cemetery, which is, however, assigned to the northern district .
Sports facilities
The Freie Turnerschaft Schweinfurt e. V. built their current sports facility on Maibacher Höhe in the garden city in 1922.
The Schweinfurt section of the Solidarity cycling and motorists' association, founded in 1904, has its sports center and restaurant in the garden city.
Monk's robes
New district in the zoning plan
In the north, the garden city borders on an area of 1.25 km² belonging to the urban area, which is used for agriculture and which is crossed by the Heeresstraße of the US Army Garrison Schweinfurt , which was dissolved in 2014 . In the eastern half, with the hallway designation Mönchkutten , a new residential district is shown in the land use plan (FNP). With a southern development through a new street that runs north along the garden city, in the east to the Eselshöhe and in the west to the current end of the main street of the Hainig , the Gretel-Baumbach-Strasse. There is currently no fixed date for the development of the monk's cowls that are planned over and over again, as other parts of the city have priority in the city's construction planning.
Alternative to Heeresstrasse
In addition, the FNP shows another access road along the north-western edge of the new district, with a connection to the main road of the Dittelbrunn district of Sonnenteller , the Eibenstraße. This results in a north-west tangent for the city, which connects the B 286 and Dittelbrunn in the north via the Gretel-Baumbach-Strasse with the federal road 303 in the west, as an alternative to the Heeresstrasse (previously) not open to traffic two-lane arterial road to the A 71 and A 7 . This north-west bypass is referred to as variant 4 in the following Transport Development Plan 2030 (VEP 2030) .
The Heeresstrasse, with several currently unsolved problems, does not play a role in the FNP's traffic management and is not shown at all. Conversely, in the VEP 2030 for the city of Schweinfurt, the proposed variants and connections to Heeresstraße of the FNP, with its interdisciplinary representation of the connection of the new residential district with (new) traffic routes, are not taken into account. The VEP 2030 treats this north-western urban area only from a traffic perspective, without integrating the rest of the urban development.
North bypass
The FNP shows the southern access road to the Mönchkutten, which runs north along the garden city, with a connection to the main road of Eselshöhe, Walther-von-der-Vogelweide-Strasse (30 km zone). This connection to the new Eselshöhe-West II building area (northern roundabout) will be built in accordance with the development plan for this area by two apartment buildings (Wilhelm-Busch-Strasse No. 4 and 5). As a result, the continuous north bypass shown in the FNP from the B 303 near Niederwerrn to Dittelbrunner Straße (near the TG48 / Silvana car park) is no longer possible. But there is still an indirect connection option via a roundabout on the B 286 not far to the south, as well as a further continuation of the north bypass via Theuerbrünnleinsweg to Dittelbrunner Straße, without having to pass through a 30 km zone.
The north bypass shown in the FNP, with a connection of the northern and eastern residential districts to the B 303 near Niederwerrn, bypassing the city center , is ignored in the VEP 2030, in its variants to the greater Heeresstraße area.
Trivia
The German comedy Vorne is damn far away with the Franconian cabaret artist Frank-Markus Barwasser was filmed in 2007 in the Schweinfurt garden city. This served here as a backdrop because of its "contemplative ambience".
The RTL2 - Docu-Soap At Home in Happiness - Our Entry into a New Life , broadcast on February 26, 2019, was a guest in the Garden City. For eight days, a family's home was completely rebuilt by a large team with the help of many neighbors. For the family of five with a disabled child, a very difficult and unsightly structural environment was transformed into a tailor-made, high-quality, stylish home.
