Garden city of Hohnerkamp
The garden city Hohnerkamp is a listed large housing estate in the Hamburg district of Bramfeld . It was built from 1953 to 1954 based on designs by Hans Bernhard Reichow and Gustav Lüttge . The carefully designed overall complex is considered an important post-war urban design "which embodies the ideal [...] model of organic urban architecture." At that time, the builder and owner was the union's Neue Heimat Hamburg , the houses have belonged to SAGA since 1999 .
location
The settlement is located east of Bramfelder Chaussee and covers a T-shaped area of almost 27 hectares . The main axis in north-south direction is the Hohnerkamp , the main axes in east-west direction are Lüdmoor and Königsberger Straße / Marienwerder Straße . The settlement has two continuous green axes parallel to the connecting roads in which the footpaths run. Compared to the surrounding residential area, the settlement is not sharply delimited.
history
In the course of the reconstruction of Hamburg after the Second World War , the construction of larger settlements in the outskirts of the city became necessary from the early 1950s in order to improve the general supply of housing. In Bramfeld, the settlement was planned on an area that was previously used for agriculture and was surrounded by allotment areas. The planning concept provided for privately financed and privately rented apartments that were not to be allocated by the Housing Office , making the building an innovation in housing construction after 1945. At the price of DM 24 million at the time , 1,558 apartments and associated supply facilities such as laundry, kindergarten, post office, school, community center, sports field and two rows of shops were built.
The houses themselves were built as light concrete structures, the outer walls of which look like plastered surfaces. The flat, partially protruding monopitch roofs reinforce the open, bright, almost “southern” overall impression.
Over time, a backlog of renovation had built up, especially in the cellars of the terraced houses, moisture damage was evident. In the mid-1980s, the owner company was therefore considering not to renovate parts of the estate, but to sell them. As a result, a tenant initiative was formed which successfully pursued the goal of maintaining the structure of the settlement in its existing form. After an extensive report on the social structure of the settlement, it was placed under social milieu protection in 1986 .
After a change of ownership, the estate came into the possession of the GWG in 1988 .
Living concept
The idea of what was then known as an “organic city” has been implemented with the estate, which consists of spacious green spaces with residential buildings interspersed. Reichow's plan for the settlement consistently applied the Radburn system by separating footpaths and cycle paths from all streets, arranging the houses on bends and leading two park-like green corridors through the settlement. The curved road network is differentiated into a few thoroughfares and many access roads . Originally, there were two through axes for motor vehicle traffic in north-south and east-west directions, of which only the connection in east-west direction is open in the 2010s.
In contrast to the pre-war garden cities in Wandsbek and Berne , the garden city of Hohnerkamp is built on with a mixture of terraced houses and apartment buildings. A special feature are Reichow's so-called "duplex houses", in which two-storey terraced houses were initially divided into a small apartment per storey in order to be able to be connected to a larger single-family house if the housing market eased (which has not yet occurred). All apartments have either a small garden or a balcony or a loggia, which are preferably oriented towards the southwest. In order to make optimal use of the gently sloping terrain, the buildings were embedded in terraces .
The development consists of two-story row houses (41% of the apartments) and three- to six-story houses (59% of the apartments). The tallest buildings are point houses with five floors, which are arranged in the center of the settlement. Most of the apartments have a living space of less than 42 m², which means they meet the standards of the construction and planning period. A comparable settlement is the garden city of Farmsen, also planned by Reichow at almost the same time, in the neighboring district of Farmsen .
Monument protection
The facade design of the settlement with its pastel-colored fronts has been under monument protection since 1987 , since the revision of the Hamburg Monument Protection Act in 2013 this protection has been extended to all parts of the settlement.
