politics

Since taking office, Junge-Reyer has decidedly represented the closure of Tempelhof Airport and the subsequent establishment of a public park on partial areas. It ran the successful application of Berlin to host the International Garden Show (IGA Berlin 2017) at Tempelhofer Freiheit and launched a competition for the future design of the park.

Junge-Reyer pursued the future use of Tegels Airport as a science and production location. It began with the development of the former container station area on Heidestrasse into a mixed inner-city quarter and implemented the conversion of the former railway area on Gleisdreieck into a park, which has long been demanded by citizens' initiatives. The eastern part of the park at Gleisdreieck was opened by Junge-Reyer on September 2, 2011.

In the field of social urban development, she continued the policy of neighborhood management . With the establishment of large-scale “Action Spaces plus”, she wanted to promote concentrated support primarily for education. Due to the drastic increase in costs, she stopped the further construction of the Topography of Terror according to the design by the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor and campaigned for the sober, factual building for the center for the documentation of the National Socialist persecution and terror apparatus.

In terms of transport policy, Junge-Reyer relied on the expansion of bicycle, pedestrian and public passenger traffic and a further decline in individual traffic in the city center. Against the resistance of residents, she pushed through the renovation of Invalidenstrasse and the construction of the tram connection between the main train station and Prenzlauer Berg. After long controversial discussions, the construction of the underground line U 5 between Alexanderplatz and the Brandenburg Gate began under her direction .

She considered it necessary to continue building the also controversial A 100 city ​​motorway from the Neukölln motorway triangle to Treptower Park and then to Frankfurter Allee . Junge-Reyer supported the plans to develop the eastern bank of the Spree as part of the controversial Mediaspree investment project .

She was also responsible for the elimination of tens of thousands of social housing "by passing a law in 2011 that the bonds of social buildings were removed as soon as they changed hands when they were sold." In connection with the cost increases in the renovation of the Berlin State Opera, the pirate parliamentary group accused it of “complete failure on a controlling, conceptual, technical and political level” and “a dramatic lack of competence and action”.

After the new election of the state government, Michael Müller became the official successor of Ingeborg Junge-Reyer on December 1, 2011.
