from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lohbrügge-Nord is a residential area north of the center of Hamburg-Lohbrügge .

location

The housing estate is located in the Hamburg-Lohbrügge district in the south-east of Hamburg in the Bergedorf district and borders on Reinbek in Schleswig-Holstein .

description

The settlement area is divided into two parts. In the eastern part there is the so-called Green Center with the brick pond, from which numerous hiking trails lead to neighboring green foothills and forest areas. To the southeast of the green area, along the Röpraredder, is the Lindwurm , a 400-meter-long assembly with 18,000 square meters of living space in a three- to four- story structure. There are also schools and the Wilhelm Lindemann sports facility here.

In the western part of Lohbrügge-Nord there is also a pond, numerous residential units as well as the Gnadenkirche, built in 1976, at Schulenburgring 160.

The structure of the settlement is based on the idea of ​​so-called "neighborhoods" in which multi-storey residential buildings form the core of a settlement unit, to which a local supply center belongs and which runs out into the park-like landscape via a maximum of two-storey buildings. The road network consists of collecting roads that follow the old dirt roads and from which loop-shaped residential roads branch off. The estate has almost all sizes of residential buildings, from single-family houses to 16-storey high-rise buildings . The proportion of single-family houses is 15% compared to other settlements from the 1960s. The most striking and largest buildings are on the north and east edge of the Green Center, there are five high-rise buildings up to 17 stories high and the Lindwurm .

history

The residential area was planned from 1959 on an area of ​​215 hectares and was at the time of construction the second largest residential construction project in Germany. The foundation stone was laid in 1960 and construction began in 1961. From 1962 to the 1970s, several high-rise buildings and low terraced houses were built. In addition, parks, sports fields, bodies of water and a district heating plant were built on Havighorster Weg. In addition to private developers, 14 sponsoring companies were involved in the construction projects. The population rose to 80 people per hectare, around 1970 there were around 20,000 people living in Lohbrügge-Nord.

In the first half of the 1970s, satisfaction with housing was considered to be strikingly high; since the early 1990s, the composition of the population has changed due to the increased influx of lower-income and socially disadvantaged households. From 2000, in consideration of various overlapping problems, part of the area was included in a program of the City of Hamburg for "social urban development" in order to stabilize the situation in the long term. Between 2000 and 2008, the Lawaetz Foundation managed several district development projects on behalf of the Bergedorf District Office. In the course of these years residential buildings and schoolyards were renovated and the clubhouse of Vfl Lohbrügge and a youth center were built.
