Location of the Buntekuh district in Lübeck

Buntekuh is one of the outer districts of Lübeck , southwest of the Holstentor .

location

The district is bounded by the Federal Motorway 1 in the northwest, the Trave in the south and the railway line to Hamburg in the east. In the district to the west of Padelügger Weg is the Herrenholz industrial park and east of Paddelügger Weg is the Padelügge- / Grapengießerstraße industrial park. The district is enclosed by the districts of St. Lorenz Süd, St. Lorenz Nord and the southern district of Moisling . The district also includes the Herrenholz municipal forest and the Lustholz forest.

Surname

The name goes back to a farmstead that, separated from the Neuhof family estate in 1680 , was known as the Buntekuh as early as 1803 . There is no evidence for the popular assumption that the name has something to do with a sailor from the Hanseatic League (cf. “ Colorful Cow ”) or a Dutchman Bontekoe .

history

At the time still to Moisling belonging Homestead Road , founded in 1910, built homes Lübeck GmbH at the instigation of Senator George Kalkbrenner to plans by the city building inspector Carl Mühlenpfordt 1910-1914 a first settlement with 62 single-family homes than for "less well-off."

Behind the brickworks there was a camp for foreign forced laborers during the Nazi era . Agriculture was practiced here until the 1960s.

Caravel skyscraper in 2009

The settlement received a second development boost in the 1960s and 1970s, when the population grew from around 2,300 to a good 13,000. With the construction of the Buntekuh housing estate by Neue Heimat , a modern urban planning concept was implemented with great consistency. The planning ideal clearly followed the “ Charter of Athens ”, but related to the district (and not the city as a whole). In a “structured and relaxed city” with “light, air and sun”, a “functional zone division” was sought, which means that the four basic functions of the city (living, working, relaxing, moving) are assigned to individual zones. In the center of the district, cultural facilities (school and church) and shopping opportunities (Buntekuh shopping center) were created. Around the center, clearly separated and free of commercial or recreational opportunities, the residential zone. Different building types (single-storey chain houses, two-storey terraced houses, four-storey row buildings and high-rise apartment buildings) should offer living space for different needs and options. The usual row development was modified insofar as the four-storey row buildings were built curved ("jagged"). Six high-rise residential buildings, including one on Pinassenweg (9 floors) in 1970 at the entrances and in the center of the settlement ( Karavellenstrasse ; 14 floors), were intended to set urban planning dominants in exposed areas. On the outskirts of the district and also clearly separated from each other, zones for trade (industrial areas Herrenholz and Paddelügger Weg) and recreation (sports facilities). The individual functional areas were structured by extensive green belts and connected by generous traffic axes. Wide streets and a large number of private parking spaces followed the ideal of the car-friendly city. A partially separate and street-independent network of foot and cycle paths also follows the requirements of the charter.

The conception, which is quite impressive due to its creative will and the force expended to solve social problems, has ultimately failed, as in many comparable places in West Germany, or at least needs considerable correction. It offers too little leeway for individual design and makes too little sense in terms of strict functionality. Wherever individual design is possible, for example the front doors and facades of terraced houses, it quickly appears grotesque and out of place in the framework offered by the concept. Community facilities and areas connect such large groups that individual responsibility (even for marble-clad staircases in Hudekamp) is not felt and is hardly possible. The deficits set a downward spiral in motion, as a result of which in the first highly praised settlement, by the 1980s at the latest, social hot spots in the city (Pinassenweg) with high unemployment, a high proportion of foreigners (up to 60% in the high-rise buildings) and crime developed.

Since the sale of Neue Heimat , which originally belonged to the largest part of the estate, the ownership structure has diversified. 25% of the apartments are individually owned, the remaining 75% belong to 10 owners. The municipal real estate company Trave took over the two skyscrapers on Karavellenstrasse and Pinassenweg only reluctantly.

In the hot spots, high vacancies (up to 20%), the renovation work for the now aged buildings and the repair of damage from property damage narrow the economic possibilities for solving the problems on your own. From the mid-1990s onwards, the city and the Possehl Foundation , the state and federal government invested considerable funds in the redevelopment of the area and achieved partial successes that were not limited to the demolition of the high-rise on Pinassenweg in 2005 and that deserve more attention.

The same applies to the smaller building complex on Hudekamp (4 high-rise buildings with up to 16 floors), which were built in 1973 right next to the Heimstätten settlement.

The Buntekuh residential area was included in the Social City funding program in 2006 .

population

At the end of December 2012, 1,308 residents did not have a German passport; this corresponds to a share of 12.2% of the population. 3732 inhabitants (34.9%) had a migration background.

Lübecker Nachrichten publishing house

At the Herrenholz industrial estate in Lübeck, the nationwide disputes over urban planning concepts and between the retailers in the city center and the area's traders are crystallizing . Herrenholz is Lübeck's “ green meadow ”, whose shopping centers deprive the center of purchasing power and commercial tenants on the one hand, but which on the other hand also offer shopping opportunities and affordable commercial space in sufficient size and traffic-friendly connections in Lübeck and not in neighboring Reinfeld . The city has tried to resolve the conflict with a so-called “retail concept”, which is particularly reflected in the development plan and forbids the establishment of so-called “center-relevant retail” in the industrial area. As the largest supermarket in Scandinavia , conveniently located on the main highway to Northern Europe ( Vogelfluglinie and Skandinavienkai ), the shopping center in Herrenholz, together with the shopping center in Dänischburg, which opened in 2014, makes a significant contribution to binding supraregional purchasing power to the city of Lübeck due to changed shopping habits .

In the mid-1980s, the Lübecker Nachrichten built a new printing house on Herrenholz, which was completed in 1986. In a second construction phase, an administration building was erected from 1989 onwards, which was occupied in 1991. The editorial office is also located there, with the exception of the local editorial offices. With this, the publishing house moved its headquarters from Königstrasse on the old town island to Buntekuh.

There are six bus lines of Stadtverkehr Lübeck in Buntekuh , namely lines 5, 6, 11, 12, 16 and 21.
