history

Historical development

The namesake: Wilhelm von Lamboy
Battle of Hanau

The district is named after General Guillaume de Lamboy from the Spanish Netherlands (today: Belgium ), who besieged Hanau fortress in the Thirty Years' War in 1636 . The siege was ended by a Hessian - Swedish relief army under Landgrave Wilhelm V of Hessen-Kassel (1627–1637), who was married to a daughter of Count Philipp Ludwig II of Hanau-Munzenberg , Amalie Elisabeth . In remembrance of the end of the siege, thanksgiving services were held annually, from which the Lamboyfest developed from 1800 , which was celebrated in part in the then still wooded area that is now the "Lamboyviertel", but for some years now in the historic old town of Hanau around the goldsmith's house . In the area of ​​today's Lamboyviertel took place on 30./31. October 1813 part of the Battle of Hanau took place, Napoleon 's last victory.

From 1900 in the Wilhelmine Empire in the east of the city, generous barracks were built for Uhlan and railway regiments, which were relocated from Berlin to Hanau: Francois barracks , Eisenbahnregiment barracks No. 2 ( Hutier barracks ) and 3 ( Hesse-Homburg barracks ) as well as the Yorckhof (for married officers ) with a total of 145 buildings. Residential houses for officers and tradesmen were built along Lamboystrasse, and in 1912 the Gebeschus school, named after Mayor Dr. Eugen Gebeschus , who made a decisive contribution to the development of the site until 1916. The urban development intact Wilhelminian style along Lamboystraße still characterizes the area today.

In World War II the Lamboy quarter was due to the military facilities and located on the northern edge of the district superstructure -Materiallagers the Reichsbahn targets of air raids of the Allies , such. B. on September 25, 1944, when numerous people were killed here too.

After the Second World War, the US armed forces took over the military facilities in the Lamboy district and shaped the district. In the fifties and sixties the quarter was considered a wild nightlife district due to its music clubs and bars and enjoyed the reputation of a “Hessian St. Pauli”. Its music scene, which was heavily influenced by the United States, was known far beyond Hanau's borders and attracted night owls, musicians and music lovers from all over Hesse. This also resulted in a problematic social structure, a temporarily high unemployment rate and a high proportion of social assistance recipients .

After the Second World War, the development around the "Tümpelgarten", a small biotope for flora and fauna, resulted in a large residential area with a mixed development structure ( rows of buildings , semi-detached houses and point high-rise buildings ).

conversion

First phase

After the US armed forces withdrew in 1991 and 2008, former barracks in the district were renovated in a sophisticated way as part of the conversion . In 1997 the city of Hanau was included in the state program “Simple Urban Renewal”. In the Lamboy-Nord district of Hanau, “Social Urban Renewal” was funded as a model project by the State of Hesse. In 1999 it was accepted into the then newly created federal and state program “Socially Integrative City” for districts with special development needs. In this way, the living conditions in Lamboy-Nord were sustainably improved, which in many cases happened together with those affected.

Second phase

With the 2nd Hessian State Garden Show in 2002 , the district experienced its second major development spurt. The "Francois Gardens" served as the entrance area for the State Garden Show. A completely new residential area was created here with around 155 terraced houses and semi-detached houses as well as 60 condominiums and a green area with playground and water axis. A few more green and open spaces up to the Kinzigauen were integrated into it.

Northern edge of the Lamboyviertel: In the front right the facilities of the former track construction yard of Deutsche Bahn

The conversion areas were thus given new civil uses:

  • A new school center, the state education office and the technical town hall with numerous departments of the city administration were set up here.
  • On the area of ​​the former Francois barracks, buildings with brick facades that were once used for military purposes now house service providers, law firms, restaurants, the Hanau adult education center , a branch of the Tümpelgarten School, a branch of the Sparkasse Hanau and a day-care center.
  • The Hanau-Nord industrial park with service and retail companies such as IKEA and the international media production center AEON , which has a 1000 square meter studio hall with the latest technical equipment.
  • In a second wave of conversions, from 2010 further former military buildings were renovated and converted into attractive apartments, which are very popular.
  • For some years now, a new industrial area Am Lamboywald has been built on the site of the former Hutier barracks and north of it .
  • The site of the former railway maintenance yard of Deutsche Bahn was from 2010 through the retail park Kinzigbogen with 29,000 square meters of retail space and an attached residential area with 146 homes of German townhouse built.

Third phase

With the final withdrawal of the US Army from Hanau at the end of 2008 and the conversion of the remaining military areas, the Lamboy district is currently experiencing its third major development spurt: The new main fire station of the city of Hanau was built on the site of the Hutier barracks on Lamboystrasse for 23 million euros and inaugurated in August 2011. A "danger prevention center" was built here by the end of 2013. In addition to the fire station, two other buildings were built for this purpose. In addition to the full-time and volunteer fire brigade Hanau, the German Red Cross (DRK), the German Lifesaving Society (DLRG) local group Hanau and the Main-Kinzig district and the Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe eV (JUH) are now located on the former barracks area .

The company R + S Solutions (focus on building technology) with 260 workplaces has settled in the neighborhood on the former Hutier site . R + S has now bought all the listed buildings in the ensemble . As part of the conversion of the former military properties, a number of other companies have decided to invest in the Lamboy district and participate in the upswing of the district, such as a garden center with 20,000 square meters of sales and exhibition space and a car dealership. The eight large multi-family houses of the former "Cardwell Village Family Housing" of the US armed forces with 96 residential units were renovated with balconies and partly also gardens and garages and marketed in 2010. The former Yorckhof barracks, which once served the US Army as the administrative headquarters, was also renovated, converted into 82 high-quality condominiums and eleven terraced houses were built on the former parking lot opposite. In 2010 the former site of the Hessian riot police , which had been fallow for 15 years, with 47 terraced houses and a new local supply center was converted.

present

The Hanau-Lamboy district has developed extremely positively since the mid-1990s, transforming from an area with a dubious reputation into a prosperous district with good infrastructure, which is particularly popular with young families. In the period from November 2010 to November 2011 alone, the district recorded a population increase of around 350 people. The varied and good housing offer, the good local supply and a large selection of schools and day-care centers make the quarter attractive. A large number of associations and numerous cultural offers also contribute to this.

Infrastructure

traffic

Religions

Neighborhood house

The neighborhood house Lamboy-Tümpelgarten has been a meeting place for the district since 1983.

Among other things, a neighborhood café, homework help, a youth club, groups for women, girls and boys, a media project, German courses, a creative workshop, and English and French meetings are offered here. Around 10,000 users take advantage of these offers.

Former officers' mess

The former officers' mess of the 3rd regiment of military railroaders, which was built in 1908 in Art Nouveau style, is now used by the Main-Kinzig handicapped company as a second-hand store after various uses (US club, riot police, branch of the district court, Irish pub) .
