  Location of Gesundbrunnen in Bautzen
|
|
Gesundbrunnen , Upper Sorbian , is a part of Bautzen and in large parts identical to the Gesundbrunnen residential area . This arose as DDR - housing estate of northeast 1975-1987 Old Town of Bautzen .
District delimitation
The district is bounded by the federal motorway 4, Muskauer Straße, the parcels belonging to the odd addresses Gesundbrunnenring 1 to 23, Gesundbrunnenring, Juri-Gagarin-Straße and the Spree.
The name "Gesundbrunnen"
In 1551 Johannes Röhrscheidt (a relationship with the builder of the Alte Wasserkunst Wenzel Röhrscheidt cannot be proven, but also cannot be ruled out) built a fountain on what was then the men's hospital meadow. The people of Bautzen soon said that the feeding spring had healing powers, from which the name arose.
You can read the name Gesundborn on old maps .
In 1837 a collection was organized to preserve the fountain. For 40 thalers and 4 groschen it was renovated in 1845 and a path to the fountain was laid out. During maintenance work in 1879, a lead plate that is now lost was discovered, which referred to Johannes Röhrscheidt in Latin script. A German translation was carved into the rock of the fountain: "This fountain was opened by Johannes Röhrscheidt in 1551 at his own expense and made available for general use." In 1920 the fountain was renovated again.
During the construction of the Gesundbrunnen residential area, the Gesundbrunnen depression was filled, the well was secured with well rings and the shaft was closed with a lock cover. Investigations in May 2006 revealed that the well was largely intact.
History of the Gesundbrunnen residential area
As early as the 1960s, an extensive housing construction program was launched in the GDR to reduce the housing shortage and to expand the building into the region's industrial center. In 1973/74 the area around the source of the Gesundbrunnen was selected for the city's largest new residential development project. After the first building plans in 1974, site regulation and development measures began. In 1975 the first IW 64 prefabricated buildings and a central construction site facility were completed. The draft of a design collective around Wolfgang Tillner emerged as a prize winner in 1976 from the architecture competition of the Ministry of Building, the Association of Architects in the GDR and the trade journal Architektur in der GDR . The various designs and the new building area realized later differed from other prefabricated building areas in the less strict grid-like street layout and building placement due to the moving terrain.
Around 6,000 apartments were built between 1975 and 1987, mainly in houses of the WBS 70 type . As a special form, terrace houses were built in traditional brick construction, which were used as a training site for training in the construction industry. The district heating supply was ensured by the thermal power station in the north of the city of Bautzen. Since 1979 the residential building elements for the construction of the type WBS 70 came from the Bautzen panel factory, which was initially equipped with technology from the Soviet Union . This also supplied the entire eastern part of the Dresden district and areas beyond. Various Bautzen construction companies were transferred to VEB Housing and VEB Tiefbau as early as 1972, which were significantly involved in the realization of the Gesundbrunnen district. On January 1, 1977, the first tenants moved into the houses on Gesundbrunnenring 18, 20, 22, 24. In 1985 construction began on the “Kaufhaus Kaskade” (as a result of an application to Berlin). Completed in 1988 and opened on October 4, 1988. Construction of the Bautzen Gesundbrunnen community center began before the political change in 1989.
After German reunification in 1990, the focus of urban development in Bautzen was initially mainly shifted to preserving the old town, which was at risk in its substance. Since the second half of the 1990s in particular, however, significant funds have been used again to improve the neighborhood's residential area. The district management is also trying to counteract the sometimes bad reputation of the residential area since the fall of the Wall and to highlight the importance of the district for the city. Even if further demolition measures are planned for the future, the district itself will not be called into question. This was underlined , among other things, by the construction of the Bautzen fire station 2001–2002 and the Bautzen swimming pool “Röhrscheidtbad” 2003–2005.
Population development
The district of Bautzen Gesundbrunnen was from 1983 to 2006, when the district of Nordostring was formed on the basis of a city council resolution , by far the most populous district of the city of Bautzen. However, the planned population of 20,000 was never reached. Since 1990, many residents of the district have moved to other parts of Bautzen and have contributed to the relatively low vacancy rate there. Some buildings were demolished as part of the Urban Redevelopment East program. The eleven storeys shown in the first photo will also be dismantled in 2007/08.
Gesundbrunnen is still the district with the highest population density. A fifth of all Bautzner live here on around 1.6 percent of the city area. At 20.9%, the district has by far the highest unemployment rate in the city (Bautzen as a whole: 11.2%).

Programs
As part of the urban redevelopment- east, a development concept for the Gesundbrunnen "Towards the water" was presented in 2002. The residential area of Bautzen-Gesundbrunnen has been included in the federal-state program “ Socially Integrative City ”.
Others
In his book "Image of the Father" Jurij Brězan describes, among other things, the construction of the Gesundbrunnen district. Brězan was friends with the first designer in the area, Mr. Kleinschmidt. Every year in late summer, the so-called Gesundbrunnenfest is held, to which the local Evangelical Lutheran parish makes a significant contribution with a “family day”.
Quotes about the Gesundbrunnen
“Unfortunately, the first draft was not built. The result was a place to live that had little to do with the original plans. Two factors played a decisive role: more apartments were needed than originally planned, and money and materials were extremely scarce. This is how a prefabricated housing estate was created in a charming environment, which had to add some of its special charm. I am convinced that without these handicaps and a certain ideological limitation, this part of the city would probably be the most beautiful in the city. "
