Hafen-Ost district (District 51)

The Harbor East (place name: in Port-East ) is a district of the independent city of Schweinfurt in Lower Franconia . It is listed in the statistics of the city of Schweinfurt as District 51, which also includes the fortifications (city park). Hafen-Ost is a barely inhabited industrial area . In a broader sense, the industrial area of ​​the municipality of Sennfeld immediately to the east is also added to the port east , which is popularly known as Sennfeld port and forms a functional unit with the Schweinfurt district.

In the Hafen-Ost district, on the northern border, outside of the district in the narrower sense, there are transhipment and landing points on the Main, which are included in the Schweinfurt ports . Both parts of the city Hafen-Ost and -West were officially called the industrial and commercial area Schweinfurt-Süd . Since this official name was too cumbersome and also did not distinguish between the differently structured parts east and west of the B 286 , the vernacular initially called the entire area between the Main and today's A 70 port , later with the additions east and west . The terms caught on, were signposted and initially the two adjacent A 70 junctions were named accordingly.

history

Desolation

In the area that is counted as part of today's district, there are two devastation . Schmalfeld was first mentioned in a document in 1246 and Leinach for the first time in 1313.

district

The area of ​​today's district belonged to the municipality of Oberndorf , which was incorporated into Schweinfurt on December 1, 1919 , but was uninhabited and undeveloped at the time and was used for agriculture. The Hafen-Ost as a district emerged from 1963 on Oberndorfer district as part of the so-called jump over the Main . The industrial and commercial land north of the river became scarce. Therefore, next to and east of the port of Schweinfurt, which opened in 1963 in the neighboring district of Hafen-West, on the major shipping route Rhine-Main-Danube Canal , new industrial and commercial areas were developed.

Unexpected development

The district was originally planned as a normal industrial area , from a point of view that was understandable for the time. Right at the beginning of the 1960s, only a two-story hypermarket with escalators was opened, the South Shopping Center (EKS). It was the first large-scale retail store in Schweinfurt on the green meadow with a free petrol station , which was dismantled 40 years later as a market purchase in the single-storey construction that is common today.

However, the free market recognized the high potential of the east of the port relatively early, with the junctions to the two expressway sections of the B 286 and B 26 ; the latter was soon intended to be expanded into today's A 70 Main Valley motorway . Since the 1980s, specialist stores have almost completely displaced commercial operations in the central area (main area). FAG Kugelfischer initially acquired a very large area in the east of the port to build a south-facing plant. The plan was abandoned and the land was sold again. In a relatively late phase, a large area was available, which made it easier to set up additional specialist stores. In the beginning, when there were hardly any specialist markets in smaller towns, the self-service markets in the central, easily accessible location in Mainfranken supplied almost the entire region. On the one hand, many foreign customers are drawn to Schweinfurt to this day, on the other hand, the Südcity is in great competition with inner-city retail . The city therefore intervened within the scope of its possibilities and has for a long time not allowed any inner-city-relevant retail trade south of the Main by means of building law .

As a result of this development, the city achieved incomparably high values ​​with a retail area of ​​almost a quarter of a million square meters and a retail area density of 4,500 m² per 1,000 inhabitants (2016) (see: Schweinfurt, Retail ). In the east of the port, the volume of traffic increased steadily, which is why the streets were made wider and wider. The district was completely redesigned compared to its first layout in the 1960s.

Economy and Infrastructure

economy

Hafen-Ost is dominated by one of the largest specialist market agglomerations in Germany, including the retail chains Marktkauf , Mediamarkt , Dehner and Globus , as well as several retailers, restaurants, a hotel, the regional radio station Radio Primaton and the regional TV station TV-Touring Schweinfurt in the Sennfeld harbor . In addition, one of the three German DB car dealerships is located in Hafen-Ost, next to Frankfurt (Main) and Cloppenburg .

Social structure

German 84.8% 70.7%
Dual nationals 7.4% 16.1%
Foreigners 7.8% 13.2%

The statistical values ​​of the social structure are not very meaningful because of the small number of inhabitants and the rather random composition of residents in an industrial park.

City and district boundaries

The border between the independent city of Schweinfurt and the municipality of Sennfeld in the district of Schweinfurt runs right across the east of the harbor . The border also runs across streets of the same name, such as Kurt-Römer-Straße.
