Südstadt-Bult is the 7th district in Hanover . It has 43,295 inhabitants and consists of the districts Südstadt (40,221 Ew.) And Bult (3,074 Ew.) (December 2016).

Südstadt

The southern part of the city is bounded in the west by the Leine (crossed by the Schwienbrücke ), the Willy-Brandt-Allee and the Berliner Allee, in the north by the Arthur-Menge-Ufer, the Friedrichswall, the Aegidientorplatz and the Marienstrasse , in the east by the Railway line Hannover – Göttingen and in the south through the southern border of the Engesohde city cemetery and the northern border of the Eilenriede city ​​forest . A large part of the Maschsee lies in the district. The Lower Saxony State Chancellery , the Sprengel Museum , the State Museum , the City Library , the NDR - State Broadcasting House , the State Studio of the ZDF and the Gilde Brewery are also located here . The former fire and rescue station 3 of the Hanoverian professional fire brigade is located in the southern part of the city .

Important churches are the Catholic St. Heinrich Church and the Protestant churches of Nazareth , Bugenhagen and Paulus . The three parishes Paulus, Athanasius and Nazareth have been united to one congregation since January 1st, 2009. The Athanasiuskirche was divested. In the district is the bishop's office, the official seat of the regional bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran regional church of Hanover . Other churches are the St. Petri Church and the Bethlehem Chapel of the self-employed Evangelical Lutheran Church, which was inaugurated in 1887, as well as the Catholic Sacred Heart Chapel of the Congregatio Jesu and the parish hall of the Adventist community Hannover-Süd.

Ev. Nazareth Church from 1907
Catholic St. Heinrich Church from 1929

The Henriettenstift hospital is located on Marienstraße . Until 2004, the Institute for Educational Sciences (until 1978 Pedagogical University ) of the University of Hanover was located in Bismarckstraße , which was one of the largest training facilities for elementary, secondary, secondary and special school teachers in Lower Saxony. In 2004 elementary, secondary and secondary school teacher training was transferred to the University of Hildesheim . At the end of the summer semester 2007, the remaining special pedagogue training moved to new premises on Königsworther Platz . The state of Lower Saxony is currently trying to market the historic building , but it is also used by the University of Hanover .

The Südstadt has the largest number of schools in Hanover, including five grammar schools : Elsa Brändström School , Bismarck School , Tellkampf School , St. Ursula School and Wilhelm Raabe School , as well as the IGS Südstadt, the Montessori Bildungshaus Hannover ( Kita, Grundschule and IGS) and the Free Waldorf School Hannover-Maschsee as a comprehensive school and the following Realschulen (some with affiliated elementary or secondary schools): Bertha-von Suttner Haupt- und Realschule, Südstadtschule (until 2009 Peter-Petersen-Schule), Ludwig -Windthorst-Schule, a high school; also several vocational schools.

The Südstadt is traditionally considered a bourgeois quarter and in the post-war period as a civil servants' quarter. In the 1980s, the district became too old and partly became a civil servants' widow district. Because of the increasing attractiveness of downtown districts, since then more and more middle-class young people and families have moved to the southern part of the city, so that the proportion of the younger population has increased. Today many young people and (young) middle-class families with or without children live here, which is also due to the fact that there is the greatest concentration of schools in all of Hanover; the proportion of the older population is now below the average for the city of Hanover. The Südstadt is considered to be the district with the largest number of children in the state capital. Leisure activities for children and young people can be found, for example, in the Haus der Jugend or in the Tiefenriede play park, right on the edge of the Eilenriede .

In the southern part of the city, between the “Alte Döhrener Straße” and the Maschsee, is the Engesohder Friedhof (1861), where many of the city's notables have found their final resting place. The name is reminiscent of the abandoned village (desert) Engesohde.

Bismarckstrasse station

The Hanover Bismarckstrasse station , served by the S-Bahn , is on the Hanover – Altenbeken railway line . Several light rail lines run under the Marienstraße, which borders the southern part of the city to the north, and under the Hildesheimer Straße , which are reinforced by additional lines during major trade fairs.

The most important roads for car traffic are Hildesheimer Straße (in north-south direction) and Altenbekener Damm (east-west), which divide the city district in the middle. Hildesheimer Straße, Sallstraße and Marienstraße are also important shopping and business streets in the city of Hanover.

Hanover's traditionally largest sports club, TK Hanover , is located in Maschstraße on the border between the southern part of the city and the city center , and is still the leader in around fifty sports in Hanover with around 4,500 active people, including numerous competitive athletes. The RSV Hannover , traditionally a railway sports club, is another of the very large and traditional sports clubs in the city; it has its own club halls on the street "Am Südbahnhof". The big soccer club in the southern part of the city is VfL Eintracht Hannover, which has extensive sports fields on Hildesheimer Straße. The HTTC Hannover is a pure table tennis club, which is at home in the Tiefenriede primary school on Stresemannallee.

history

Glückauf high-rise , an example of the brick buildings typical of Südstadt from the 1920s and 1930s
Academy building of the Pedagogical University with the typical seminar buildings

Large parts of the Südstadt were planned and built from the mid-1920s and completed in the 1930s. Such large housing estates for families were part of the social housing construction of the Weimar Republic , which was intended to create alternatives to the poor living conditions in the old buildings in the inner city and to alleviate the housing shortage. In the southern part of the city, many streets with four to five-story apartment buildings in clinker construction were built during this time. The Glückauf skyscraper at Geibelplatz 5 is outstanding in terms of urban planning . The architects Fritz Höger and Karl Elkart , who were close to the regime during the Nazi era, were also involved in the planning and execution . Höger designed the high-rise apartment building in Oesterleystraße 5 from 1928. Karl Elkart worked between 1929 and 1931 at the Hanover City Library in Hildesheimer Straße and at the elementary school (later: Heinrich-Heine-Schule, today: Bertha-von-Suttner-Schule) on Altenbekener Damm with. At the time he was a town planning officer and was involved in the deportations of Jews , forced resettlements and so-called " Aryanizations " of art and cultural assets. After years of discussion, Elkartallee, which has been named after Karl Elkart since 1960, was renamed Hilde-Schneider-Allee in January 2015.

Karl Peters Monument on Bertha von Suttner Platz (2010)

Other street names in this quarter were also controversial: today's Bertha-von-Suttner-Platz was named after Carl Peters when it was built in 1916 . After about twenty years of conflict, it was renamed in 1994. The monument dedicated to Peters in the square has been preserved and has been commented on with an additional plaque. With the Wissmannstrasse and the Nachtigalstrasse, further streets were named after the German colonialists Hermann von Wissmann and Gustav Nachtigal . They were rededicated in 2009 and named after Herrmann Wißmann, a KPD member murdered by the Nazis, or after the poet Johann Karl Christoph Nachtigal . The Sohnreystraße, which also opens onto the square, was renamed Lola-Fischel-Straße in September 2016, in honor of an Auschwitz survivor who campaigned for Christian-Jewish understanding.

From 1929 on, the Bismarckstrasse Academy building was built on Bismarckstrasse for the Pedagogical Academy , which began operations in 1934. Today's development in the southern part of the city is a mixture of partially renovated buildings from the 1920s and 1930s, some of which were rebuilt after extensive destruction in the Second World War , as well as the 1950s and 1960s with new additions, whereby the outer facades reflect the the original year of construction is often not always recognizable. In connection with the renovation of buildings, there have been repeated political disputes since the 1950s because of the resulting rent increases .

Bult

Melanchthon Church in the Bult district

In the east of the city district is the Bult district, derived from the Low German word " Bulte ", a term for a hill. It borders on the Eilenriede . In this district are the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover , several middle-class terraced houses and the stadium Bischofshol, now Rudolf-Kalweit-Stadion , of the SV Arminia Hannover . In the district of Bult founded in 1926, has Postsportverein Hannover located.

From 1906 to 1970 the horse racing track "Große Bult" was located here, which was relocated to Langenhagen because of a planned commercial settlement (see Neue Bult ). Today there are u. a. the Children's Hospital on the Bult and the Hiroshima Grove . In the northwest is the Braunschweiger Platz .

A large part of the area known today as "Alte Bult" is designated as a landscape protection area and is now characterized by sandy grassland , which is one of the particularly protected biotopes . In addition, turf grass and moderately humid grassland areas provide important habitats for plants and animals. This allowed rare species of locusts and colonies of wild bees to settle. The connection between the site and the Eilenriede city forest immediately to the south is also of great importance for the animals living in the forest, because the "Alte Bult" is an important supplier of food for bats and birds.

District Council

In the local elections on September 11, 2016 , the SPD was again the strongest party in the district with 34.2% of the vote and Lothar Pollähne is the district mayor. The second largest party is the CDU with 24.6%. The Greens became the third strongest party with 20.7% and are the deputy district mayor with Ekkehard Meese. The AfD received 6.3%, the Left 5.8%, the FDP 5.7% and the Pirates 2.1%. The district council of Südstadt-Bult meets about nine times a year in public in the Athanasius cultural center .
