The university district is located in the south of Lübeck on the former land of the Strecknitz estate and borders directly on the university grounds to the east and the technical university to the north . The new route of the federal highway 207 represents the western boundary of the area. To the south, the Lübeck Landgraben as a landscape protection area forms the natural boundary of this new residential area.

The total area of the university district is about 115 hectares , on which next single and multi-family homes for about 5,000 residents, among others, also a science - and technology park , shops and service companies as well as a community center with public, social and educational institutions created or not created.

Contrary to its official name, the university district is not a separate district , but as part of the Strecknitz district , it belongs to Lübeck-St. Jurgen .

The above-described university district in the narrower sense is already being supplemented to the west of the B 207 by the 30 hectare Bornkamp development area of the municipal property company "Trave" mbH , which is accessed via the new La Rochelle Bridge over the B 207 and the Lübeck – Lüneburg railway line becomes.

structure

The center of the university district is the elongated, east-west running Carlebach Park , named after Salomon Carlebach and his family. The park, which connects the university district with the university campus, was opened to the public on August 22, 2005. At its western end is the district center with many infrastructural facilities such as the Paul Klee primary school , a kindergarten, St. Jürgen police station and a church facility, the oasis . In May 2007, the district center was recognized as the central link between the various institutions by the “Germany - Land of Ideas” initiative.

To the south of the park there are mainly single-family houses, to the north of the park there is the technology park Innovations-Campus Lübeck , a mixed residential and commercial area as well as row houses and the multifunctional center used for scientific research .

The biomass heating plant was supplied with biomass from the Lübeck forests such as Lauerholz . After a deflagration, wood firing was suspended. The plan is to switch completely to gas by summer 2016.

Half of the streets in the university district are named after men and women. One street, for example, bears the name of Cornelia Schorer , the first woman from Lübeck to receive a doctorate. Strecknitz streets are also named after Johannes Baltzer , who shaped the cityscape for three decades as an architect and chief construction director until 1928 and built the Strecknitz sanatorium , or the heart surgeon Albert Lezius , who works in Lübeck .

history

The Carlebachpark in July 2007

The planning for the construction of the university district to strengthen the university location Lübeck began in 1989. In 1990 and 1991 an urban development competition was carried out; the first prize went to the concept of a Swedish architectural office on which the further planning was based.

The plans were revised and changed several times in the following years, among other things to densify the residential development and for landscape planning reasons. The central element of the original plan, the university-oriented park, was retained in all of the new versions.

The final version of the plan is called Master Plan 2000 . Building on this plan, construction began on April 16, 2004.

By May 2007, Carlebach Park, the residential areas south of the park, the district center, the multifunctional center and the green spaces surrounding the area on three sides were completed. At the end of October 2007 the Mönkhof-Karree, a 15,000 m² shopping center, was opened. The next opening in the university district was due in autumn 2008 with the inauguration of the medical health center. With a total area of ​​around 10,000 m², it is the largest medical center in Schleswig-Holstein . In June 2008, construction work began on a multi-storey block development with around 500 barrier-free apartments on the edge of Carlebach Park.

traffic

The traffic infrastructure of the university district is primarily designed for motorized individual traffic (MIT), although an ecologically oriented traffic concept was presented during the planning of the district. All important points can be reached quickly and easily via a well-developed road network. A large number of parking spaces are available and fallow and green areas are being occupied by stationary traffic. The centralized shopping facilities have a parking garage and a direct connection to the B 207 federal road.

Street

The residential area is connected for motorized traffic via the B 207, Berliner Allee, north to the city center and south to Lübeck Airport and the Lübeck-Süd driveway, which was completed in December 2007, onto the A 20 . A restricted passage in Mönkhofer Weg, which runs through St. Jürgen, may only be passed by local public transport, rescue services, police and taxis.

bus connections

The offer for local public transport (ÖPNV) was criticized by the residents of the district in 2011 as insufficient. The public transport connection was improved from December 2012, since then the university district has had two SL bus routes to the city center and on to Bad Schwartau and Stockelsdorf, as well as an express bus route to the main station and on to Kücknitz .

Railway stop in Lübeck university district

On December 15, 2013, the new Lübeck University District Stop on the Lübeck – Lüneburg railway line went into operation. Regional trains stop here every hour to Lübeck main station and often via Plön to Kiel , as well as via Lübeck Airport , Ratzeburg , Mölln , Büchen and Lauenburg to Lüneburg .

line Train run Tact Course book range
RE 83 Kiel Central Station - Raisdorf - Preetz - Plön - Bad Malente-Gremsmühlen - Eutin - Bad Schwartau - Lübeck Central Station - Lübeck University District - Lübeck Airport - Ratzeburg - Mölln - Büchen - Lauenburg (Elbe) - Echem - Lüneburg hourly 145: Lübeck – Lüneburg railway line

According to proposals, the Lübeck university district stop could become part of a planned Lübeck S-Bahn that could run from the airport (or Ratzeburg) via the main station, Dänischburg and Kücknitz to Travemünde every 30 minutes .

Cyclists and pedestrians

Cyclists and pedestrians have to subordinate themselves to motorized individual traffic and their mobility is restricted by its increasing intensity. There are only bike paths on some streets. Many important streets are designed to be too narrow to safely accommodate stationary traffic, bus, motor vehicle and bicycle traffic (e.g. Maria-Goeppert-Str.). With several of the installed traffic lights, pedestrians and cyclists are disadvantaged, there is no aids for the visually impaired (acoustic release signals, vibration plates). Pedestrian crossings were rejected by the competent authority on the grounds that either the traffic figures were too low or the respective street was already traffic-calmed. The distances for pedestrians are also very long due to the centralized supply facilities.

The main road leading south to the nearby airport is closed to cyclists and pedestrians, and there are no plans to build a cycle path.
