The Goldsmith Place is a 2.31 hectare large urban open space on the north end of Schleißheimerstraße in Munich district Hasenbergl . It was originally a combined bus and train stop and is now an action space and meeting point for residents. The goldsmiths' founding family from the 14th century acted as namesake.

location

The 23,100 square meter Goldsmith Square lies at the eastern end of the settlement Hasenbergl in the far north of Munich and is bordered to the east directly Am Hart lying Panzerwiese , a 200-hectare heathland. In the south is the residential area Nordhaide .

The Schleißheimer Straße coming from the city center in the south ends in a loop around Goldschmiedplatz. With a length of more than eight kilometers, it is the second longest street in the city and is the current end point of the Princely Axis . The Bavarian electors once drove on this carriages from Schleißheim Palace , located around three kilometers to the north, to the Munich residence .

Along the visual and historical prince axis of Schleißheimer Straße between Goldschmiedplatz and Dülferanger there is a promenade with various themed action areas, in which the Goldschmiedplatz is also integrated. The axis that runs along the middle divider of Schleißheimer Straße can only be seen today from the city center to Goldschmiedplatz. From there you can see the towers of the Munich Frauenkirche, 10 km away .

Fortnerstrasse branches off from Goldschmiedplatz in a northerly direction, Aschenbrennerstrasse and Kugystrasse in a westerly direction.

use

The Goldschmiedplatz is a multifunctional open space for leisure and local activities. The center is here the Blue Dot , the 25 m² tram house with the roofing of the former stop, managed by a residents' initiative of the Diakonie Hasenbergl . A number of private and public events take place here, such as a regular flea market or the Hasenbergl-Nord residents 'regulars' table. There is also a barbecue area, a viewing platform and a climbing playground for children. In addition, there is a community garden looked after by Green City . For sporting activities, a volleyball field, table tennis tables, two chess fields, a boules alley, a summer curling alley and a large skate park are integrated into the surrounding park. Here you can also find a sculpture by Hanns Goebl and the Hasenbergldenkmal , which commemorates the electoral hunt there in the 18th century.

According to the development plan No. 40 Part 1 of December 6, 1966, the area is designated as a public traffic area. On the Goldschmiedplatz the green area statute of the state capital Munich applies. As part of the historical visual axis Schleißheimer Straße, the square is a place of the culture history path and occasionally a location for cultural events.

history

In order to counteract the housing shortage after the Second World War , the City Council of Munich decided, as part of a corresponding overall plan, to build a large housing estate on Hasenbergl based on competition designs by Munich architects Ernst Maria Lang , Christian Ottow, Fritz Vokke and Helmut von Werz as well as the garden architect Alfred Reich . The foundation stone was laid on May 25, 1960 by Lord Mayor Hans-Jochen Vogel . In the course of these construction measures, the goldsmith's place was also created. The name Goldschmiedplatz was first mentioned in 1955. The founder family Goldschmied, also Goldschmit or Goldsmit, from the 14th century acted as namesake.

In order to connect the new settlement area to local public transport, the express tram line 8 was extended from the Am Hart settlement to the Hasenbergl and a turning loop was created at the end . A covered local transport hub with bus and train stops for a rendezvous system and a tram station was built within this turning loop . The new section was opened on December 18, 1964. For the 1972 Olympic Games , line 8 was replaced by line 13. In mid-1990, the residents 'regulars' table Hasenbergl Nord began using the space for a flea market and showed interest in using the tram station. In the course of the new construction of the U2 underground line to Hasenbergl, tram operations on line 13 were discontinued on November 20, 1993 and most of the track bed was dismantled. The bus terminal also lost its importance. The square was largely fallow and developed into a dysfunctional free space in the years that followed .

As early as 1989 the architects Scheiblauer had presented an urban development concept for the Hasenbergl on behalf of the Munich city council. This concept was intended to try to counteract any grievances that had arisen in the settlement. With the decision of the city council of October 1993, the redevelopment goals were formulated, among other things, to improve the townscape, the landscape and the open spaces, and the idea to use the Goldschmiedplatz with a streetball basket and mobile skate elements arose.

Due to the positive response, more specific plans for expanding the square as an action space for children and young people were tackled and implemented by the city of Munich between 1999 and 2000 as part of the Social City program of German urban development funding. With the participation of the district quarter eV, NordUrbanes Wohnen association, the Hasenbergl children's and youth club and the Eduard-Spranger-Schule, play and skate facilities and the Blauer Punkt meeting point in the former tram station, which was also renovated with urban development funds, were created. With the handover of the Blue Dot to the residents ' regulars' table as part of an opening ceremony in autumn 2000, the square was officially handed over to the residents of the district.

In order to upgrade Schleißheimer Straße in 2004, three invited landscape architects worked out proposals for an overall concept for the further upgrading and utilization of public space as part of an expert opinion. The concept recommended by the jury for implementation by Burger Landschaftsarchitekten provided for a promenade with various thematic action areas to emphasize and preserve the visual and historical princely axis of Schleißheimer Strasse between Goldschmiedplatz and Dülferanger. It was then further elaborated in a participation process with the residents 'regulars table at the Goldschmiedplatz residents' meeting point and implemented in 2007.

In April 2018, at the request of the district committee, ten raised beds were created on the grounds of the Goldschmiedplatz in Green City together with local residents . In a test, the residents will grow vegetables in a public community garden.
