Kopenkamp

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kopenkamp is a district of Stade in Lower Saxony that was created between 1920 and 1955. It was based on the model of the garden suburb and is therefore also known as the garden city .

The name Kopenkamp has been traceable since the 17th century. The name comes from the Kopenführer who, as water drivers, supplied the city with water and also used their water barrels, the water kopes, to bring the water to extinguish fires. As the Kopenführer had to keep horses to transport the water, the city made the Kopenkamp area available to him.

In 1858 the land was divided into parcels and leased. From 1919 the site was removed and turned into building land. The first street in the district is Am Kopenkamp , which is now called Frommholdstraße.

The history of Kopenkamp as a settlement begins with the establishment of the Kopenkamp building cooperative . Five semi-detached houses were to be built in Goebenstrasse for the ten settler families united here. The building cooperative was merged in 1922 in the non-profit building and settlement cooperative "Eigenheim" , which built eight semi-detached houses on Kopenkamp.

In 1925, the cooperative succeeded in taking over the urban land on Kopenkamp on a long lease. In the Friedrich-Ebert-Straße the first five semi-detached houses were built. In the spring of 1926 u. a. The removal of the Kopenkamp for building land was carried out as emergency work to alleviate unemployment in Stade. In the Kopenkamp settlement, 204 apartments were built by 1931, which were concentrated in Thuner-Strasse, bypass (today's B 73), Talstrasse and Karl-Kühlcke-Strasse.

The predominant design were semi-detached houses. Exceptions are the 16-family house built in 1926/27 on Friedrich-Ebert-Straße with the nickname Völkerbundspalast and the Konsumhaus Thuner-Straße 78 built in 1928. In 1931, under the influence of the Depression, small apartments were built on Goetheplatz.

A second construction phase took place in the early 1950s to reduce the housing shortage caused by the refugees.

The Kopenkamp is delimited in the northwest by Talstrasse, in the northeast by Wilhelm-Sietas-Strasse and Frommholdstrasse and in the southeast by Thuner Strasse. Since its construction in 1955-57, the B 73 has formed the south-western border of Kopenkamp.
