Lessinghöhe

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lessinghöhe in Berlin-Neukölln

The Lessinghöhe and the Thomashöhe are elevations on the Neukölln Rollberg. They emerged as piles of rubble after the Second World War and are located in the Berlin district of Neukölln .

location

The Lessinghöhe is bounded in the north by Kienitzer Strasse, in the west by Morusstrasse, in the east by Bornsdorfer Strasse and in the south by Mittelweg. It forms a parking area around 210 meters long and 140 meters wide. South of Mittelweg is the Thomashöhe, which in turn is bordered to the south by Thomasstrasse. It has an area of ​​around 150 meters in length and around 140 meters in width.

history

The Neukölln Rollberge were formed as deposits around 20,000 years ago during the last ice age , the Vistula glaciation . The hills were used for agriculture by the residents of Rixdorf (today: Neukölln) until the middle of the 18th century. With the industrialization they sold the mounds from which the ice age gravel and sand were mined from then on. Large parts of the Rollbergs have thus disappeared from the landscape and have been built over, for example by the Rollbergsiedlung to the northwest . In the area of ​​today's Lessinghöhe as well as the Thomashöhe, allotment garden settlements emerged at this time. These areas were needed after the end of the Second World War to pile up rubble from the neighboring houses. This is how the Thomashöhe and then the Lessinghöhe emerged in the 1950s.

In connection with the surrounding church yards, such as the St. Michael parish in the east, the adjacent Thomashöhe to the south and the adjacent Körnerpark (also a former gravel pit), a large green area was created in the densely populated urban area. The hills themselves are now used as parks, which are managed by the Neukölln district office next to Volkspark Hasenheide in the area of ​​responsibility for green areas north .

The Lessinghöhe children and youth center is located in the Lessinghöhe park . With the help of a district management team , it was possible in 2001 to extensively renovate the sports and football fields. Around 245,000 euros were spent on this. At the playground on Thomasstraße there is also a work of art by Günther Ohlwein entitled Play Sculpture from 1973.

In 2007, Thomashöhe was the scene of a crime in which a young woman was burned in a suitcase. However, the defendant was acquitted the following year for lack of evidence, so the case could never be fully resolved.
