history

From the beginning of February to April 6, 1945, the Hanover-Mühlenberg satellite camp was located on the hill . In the post-war period it became a homeless camp, the Mühlenberg camp. Also because of the concentration camp, all streets on Mühlenberg were named after resistance fighters against and victims of the Nazis , including Stauffenberg , Anne Frank , Bonhoeffer, Ossietzky , Scholl , Delp and Beck. The Mühlenberg district was built in the 1960s initially with terraced houses and for the time it was very modern and open, surrounded by extensive green spaces, four-story owner-occupied and rented apartments, which were followed by numerous high-rise buildings in the style of large housing estates in the 1970s . The original plans for an even larger satellite town were later discarded.

Leisure, infrastructure and education

The outskirts of the city with a pond surrounded by park-like green areas and the complex infrastructure with a large integrated comprehensive school for around 2000 pupils, which is home to the White Rose leisure home (also named after the resistance), youth center , city ​​library , district sports facility and other facilities, is also relatively Large sports club , a large golf course, light rail and bus station , an ecumenical church center as well as a pedestrian zone with many shops and a market square enhance the residential quality and quality of life of the district. There are also several daycare centers , a primary school and various social offers; a playhouse, a socially supported neighborhood meeting place with lunch, help with homework and an internet café and a comprehensive advisory infrastructure for migrants. There are also two large administration buildings of the e.on Group in the Mühlenberg district . Part of the Mühlenberg is not considered a social hotspot , but rather an average bourgeois residential area; even after the social collapse of the entire city district, it is still inhabited by people from the middle class. This part is mainly in the direction of the city limits to Empelde and includes the Delpweg, Bonhoefferstraße and the lower part of Leuschnerstraße. Parts of the Reichweinweg, Julius-Leber-Weg, Schollweg and Ossietzkyring streets are also still considered civil. There are many single family homes and condominiums in these areas. Almost 1,000 of the 3,000 or so Mühlenberg households can be described as not typical of the focal point, including a high-rise block: the Bonhoefferstraße terrace house, which in the 1970s was a trendsetter for urban life, with around 200 mostly larger condominiums.

The Mühlenberger Markt underground station is the only underground station outside of the inner city tunnel network , along with the Brabeckstraße underground station in Bemerode . The tram lines 3 and 7 and some bus lines run there.

In the 2010s, the building of the integrated comprehensive school Mühlenberg from 1973 , which houses many facilities in the district, was gradually completely demolished and replaced by a new building. After the new building, the IGS got the name of the educator Leonore Goldschmidt and is now officially called "Leonore Goldschmidt School - IGS Mühlenberg".

population

At the end of 2019 there were 7,392 inhabitants in Mühlenberg, in 2014 it was just under 6,700.

At 39 years of age, the district is far below the average age in Hanover. 25.1% of the residents are under 18 years of age, which is the highest figure in Hanover. The proportion of senior citizens is average at around 23%.

In Mühlenberg around 68% of the residents have a migration background. According to estimates by the city of Hanover, 20% speak Arabic at home .

Development to the social hotspot

After the district, founded in 1965, was sometimes quite popular in the early years as a modern new district in the countryside and attracted many local middle-class families, the social structure tipped over in the 1980s and some apartment blocks became an address for people who cannot find living space anywhere else or could use it as the first and transit station in Germany . This part of the district has developed into a social hotspot .

The Canarisweg with around 600 apartments in a long high-rise block, which is surrounded on all sides by expressways and virtually separated from the rest of the Mühlenberg, is one of the most problematic areas of the city. In December 2019, it became known that the city's Hanova plans to buy 216 apartments on Vonovia's Canarisweg . Other problem areas are the high-rise blocks Ossietzkyring 31a to 31f and Ossietzkyring 17 to 25.

The district as a whole shows negative record values ​​in almost all social data. On December 31, 2017, over 66% of households with children and adolescents received transfer payments, which is by far the highest child poverty rate in the city. Mühlenberg had the highest unemployment rate in Hanover in December 2019 at 16.2% .
