Jacobsenviertel
The Jacobsenviertel is a quarter in the north of the Erfurt district of Ilversgehofen , which was built between 1925 and 1927 in the style of New Building according to plans by Otto Jacobsen . It is one of the most important municipal housing complexes of the Weimar Republic in Erfurt, is a listed building and comprises around 300 apartments.
The Jacobsenviertel is located between Salinenstraße, Hohenimmernstraße, Barkhausenstraße and Teichstraße. It consists of a 120-meter-long block of flats in the north, four 40-meter-long small blocks in the middle and a 120-meter-long and 50-meter-wide block with an inner courtyard in the south. Jacobsen thus deviated from the usual perimeter block development for the first time in Erfurt and placed blocks of flats across the street, creating new green spaces and more open structures. This principle was later applied across the board during the GDR era.
The district is bounded directly to the southwest by the Erfurt-Nordhausen railway with the nearby Erfurt Nordbahnhof and northeast by the former machine factory "Henry Pels" (VEB Umformtechnik in GDR times).
The construction of the quarter was carried out by the Erfurt residential community . It was founded by the Hamburg entrepreneur Hermann Bösenberg . The Bösenberg fountain was built in 1926 to honor him. The Jacobsenviertel remained in the possession of the municipal housing cooperative until 2005, which had given it up and wanted to tear it down. However, in the person of Klaron Holding from Merseburg, an investor was found who bought the system and renovated it by 2007.
