history

Archaeological excavations at Bärenschanzstrasse brought 3300 year old traces of Bronze Age agriculture to the Gostenhof area.

The small street village was first mentioned in a document in 1311. In 1477, the Gostenhof , which had meanwhile passed to Nuremberg , received an imperial city care office . While the village was burned down in the First and Second Margrave Wars , it remained undestroyed in the Thirty Years War . In addition to the imperial city nursing palace (Gostenhofer Hauptstrasse 14, Schulgasse 9, 11), which was built in 1555 and destroyed around 1944, there was also the "Spoonwood Castle" (Bauerngasse 17-27), built in 1626, which was owned by the spoonwood patrician family from 1657 to 1800 belonged to Kolberg and was canceled before 1900.

The Gostenhof, which had grown into an industrial suburb of Nuremberg, became Prussian in 1796 . In 1806 it came to Bavaria . Gostenhof was incorporated into Nuremberg as early as 1825.

The railway age in Germany began in 1835 from the Ludwigsbahnhof in Gostenhof with the Ludwigsbahn . The first gasworks in Nuremberg was built in Gostenhof in 1847. In 1913 the Volksbad opened at the same location .

In the 19th century, the rural suburb developed into a trading and business suburb with dense settlements. This development was particularly triggered by Jewish hop traders . In 1910 a third of the Jewish population of Nuremberg lived in this district.

During the Second World War , Gostenhof was largely undamaged. As a result of the less attractive old buildings and its inner-city location without green spaces, Gostenhof, like many other German inner-city districts, developed into a district that is now predominantly inhabited by poorer and foreign families. The population of Gostenhof in 1997 consisted of members from over 40 nations, in the Gostenhof core area and in the Bärenschanze the proportion of foreigners between 2012 and 2016 was between 40 and 46%.

Gostenhof has long been considered the Nuremberg Bronx or broken glass area (dialect: Glosschermverdel ). This is exemplified in a song by the Nuremberg songwriter and engineer Günter Stössel : His adaptation of the classic House of the rising sun is Dou schdäihd a Haus in Gost'nhuf . Thanks to extensive renovation work, however, Gostenhof's image has now improved. Since the 1980s, the district has also acquired an image with a hint of an alternative, which is reflected in a large number of pubs, initiatives and artist workshops as well as the GOHO workshop and studio days that take place regularly.

Population development

• 1824 1,506 inhabitants
• 1861 2,147 inhabitants
• 1900 population 44,703
• 2012 8,786 inhabitants
• 2016 9,462 inhabitants

Culture and sights

theatre

The Gostner Hoftheater was opened in 1979 in a converted toy factory as a theater around the corner . Just a decade later, the stage, originally designed as a workshop theater, was able to present its own productions with professional actors and directors. In the meantime, the theater operates another stage and a pub and has established itself as the second important theater in Nuremberg's culture alongside the municipal theaters.

Buildings

The Rochusfriedhof was laid out in 1518 during the plague epidemic at that time as a new burial place outside the Nuremberg city walls for reasons of hygiene. The oldest tombs date back to the time it was founded. Many well-known Nuremberg personalities , including Johann Pachelbel , are buried there.

The Palace of Justice on Fürther Strasse was built from 1908 to 1916 according to plans by Hugo von Höfl . The building, built in the style of the German Renaissance , was directly connected to the so-called cell prison . The negotiations against leading figures of National Socialism , known as the Nuremberg Trials, took place here. The jury court room 600, the place of the main hearing, can be visited on weekends. The museums of the city of Nuremberg are currently planning a documentation center for this.

The Plärrer high- rise built between 1951 and 1953 , actually a business and workshop building of the Städtische Werke Nürnberg am Plärrer , was the tallest building in Bavaria at 56 m when it opened. From the 5th floor onwards, the 15-storey building tapers by one centimeter per floor in order to appear slimmer. The projecting flight roof forms the striking conclusion of the listed building by the architect Wilhelm Schlegtendal .

The planetarium , also built in 1961 according to plans by Wilhelm Schlegtendal, is right next to the Plärrer high-rise. The dome (18 m diameter) of the projection room is particularly striking.

The Volksbad Nürnberg is right next to the planetarium at Rothenburger Straße 10 . The planning was carried out by the architect Carl Weber and the engineer Friedrich Küfner . The bath was built from 1911 to 1913. It is considered a jewel of Art Nouveau bathroom culture. The building design cites Roman thermal baths, such as the portico columns at the entrance with the city's coat of arms. The Volksbad is currently empty. Various groups and clubs have been trying to revive the area since then.

In the western part of Gostenhof, at the intersection of Adam-Klein-Straße / Paumgartnerstraße, there is the parish church of St. Anton, built from 1908 to 1910 by master builder Prof. Josef Schmitz in neo-Romanesque style. A recent depiction of Christ in the mandorla by Wolfgang Duck is worth seeing in the apse .

In the center of Gostenhof are the Dreieinigkeitskirche, built from 1900 to 1903 in the Wilhelminian style, and the former apprentice dormitory that now houses the neighborhood house.

Regular events

Once a year the district festival takes place in Gostenhof, in which all parties, associations and initiatives active in Gostenhof take part. In addition, an international street festival takes place on May 1st every year. Every two years u. a. a street festival takes place in Gostenhofer Hauptstrasse.

The Gostenhof Atelier and Workshop Days (GOHO) are designed as a biennale . Every two years artists open their workplaces to visitors.

media

Cultural workers and business people from Gostenhof publish their own district magazine "inGoHo", which appears twice a year.

Since the beginning of 2013 there has been a cross-media online district television "goho.tv", which is designed by students from the Technical University of Nuremberg Georg Simon Ohm and operated by the Neue Welle broadcasting management company.

The federal motorway 73 and the Nuremberg – Bamberg railway line run through Gostenhof , to which Gostenhof is connected with the Rothenburger Strasse S-Bahn station . Gostenhof is connected to the U1 underground line with the Gostenhof and Bärenschanze underground stations .

The Plärrer on the northeastern border of Gostenhof is a central traffic junction in Nuremberg. There the ring around the old town meets the most important road to Fürth , Fürther Straße , and the roads to Ansbach and Erlangen . The three Nuremberg underground lines U1 , U2 and U3 intersect there and offer connections to tram lines 4 and 6 as well as city ​​bus lines 34 and 36. The Plärrer is synonymous with everyday traffic problems in rush hour traffic.

Fürther Strasse was built as a representative avenue by the Prussians before Nuremberg was incorporated into Bavaria, when Nuremberg was an (impoverished) free imperial city and Gostenhof belonged to Prussia . The Ludwig Railway ran on the route in 1835 . Gostenhof was shaped for a long time by the tram, which used to go to Fürth and cross the district. This route has now been replaced by a subway, the tram only goes to the Plärrer.

Many testimonies to the industrialization of the 19th and 20th centuries can be found along the road .
