Brückfeld (until 1950 Friedrichstadt ) is a district of Magdeburg and lies east of the Elbe . The district has an area of ​​1.4649 km² and 2,991 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2016).

geography

With the Elbe, Brückfeld has a natural border in the west. In the north, the district is essentially separated from Herrenkrug by Jerichower Straße . East of the street Am Hammelberg begins the Berliner Chaussee district and in the south the border to Magdeburg-Cracau initially runs along the old railway line (today the cycle path), then over the Gübser Damm. The ground level is level and is 46 meters high. The residential development extends in the northwestern part between Jerichower Straße and Berliner Chaussee. Large areas are undeveloped in the area of ​​the railway cycle path.

Infrastructure

The district presents itself as a very heterogeneous settlement area. The original development within the fortress “Turmschanze” has disappeared due to destruction in the Second World War and demolition in the GDR era. They have been replaced by prefabricated buildings and the large wasteland provided for the extension of the power bridge. The district gets its own character from the extensive former barracks that were built around the end of the 19th century and the listed " Angersiedlung " in the northeast . The small industrial area "Ölmühle" is located in the southeast. Jerichower Strasse and Berliner Chaussee ( Bundesstrasse 1 ) are Magdeburg's arterial roads to the east. The Strombrücken and Nordbrückenzug as well as a tram line connect the district with Magdeburg city center. The station Magdeburg-Brückfeld was on the railway line Biederitz-Magdeburg-Buckau that since 1998 shut down is. Brückfeld is connected via lines 5 and 6 of the Magdeburg tram .

history

Brückfeld owes its existence to the protection of the Magdeburg Elbe crossing. The first bridgehead fortification is known as the Zollschanze, which played a major role in defending against the siege of Magdeburg during the Schmalkaldic War of 1550/51. The Zollschanze could no longer withstand the Thirty Years' War and was partially destroyed in 1631. In the course of the expansion of Magdeburg as a Prussian fortress , it was rebuilt from 1666. A large stone tower was erected in the center of the ski jump, which from then on gave the facility the name “Turmschanze”.

Under the direction of the Prussian fortress builder Gerhard Cornelius von Walrave , the tower hill was rebuilt in the years 1718 to 1721 according to the latest military knowledge. After all defenses had been completed, the inner area of ​​the hill was released for civilian settlement in 1731. A radial street network was created with the Heumarkt as the center, initially built with 25 large and 50 small half-timbered houses. In the south, the Cracauer Tor was the only connection to the outside world. The settlement came under Magdeburg jurisdiction and was named "Friedrichstadt".

In the course of the 19th century, the fortress character of Friedrichstadt gave way more and more in favor of modern urban development and industrialization. First of all, in the course of the expansion of Berliner Chaussee in 1818, the fortress was opened to the east with the Charlottentor. With the completion of the Berlin – Magdeburg railway in 1846, another external connection was created and Friedrichstadt received its own train station. In 1884 a direct connection to Magdeburg city center was created with a horse-drawn tram.

When in 1892 the fortress regulations for the tower hill were lifted and the fortifications were demolished, the way was clear for the further development and expansion of the district. The old half-timbered houses gave way to massive town houses, and the Prussian state built numerous barracks on the site of the fortifications. The Hubbe and Fahrenholz oil mills were built south of Berliner Chaussee in 1890, and after they were merged in 1922 as Hubbe & Fahrenholz, they developed into one of the largest and most important oil factories in Germany. From 1913 the so-called “Angersiedlung” was built between Jerichower Straße and Berliner Chaussee, a prime example of the “New Building” of the 1920s under the influence of Bruno Taut .

During the Second World War , the area around the wood market was almost completely destroyed. The former Prussian barracks and other areas in the south of the district were used by the Soviet armed forces until they withdrew from Germany in the 1990s. On July 24, 1950, the Magdeburg city council decided to rename the district to "Brückfeld". From 1960 the city of Magdeburg began to redesign the western area of ​​the district. Around the destroyed Heumarkt, building freedom was created for monotonous prefabricated buildings , except for a preserved Wilhelminian- style house, so that hardly anything of the old road network is recognizable. A complete demolition also took place south of the Heumarkt in order to make space for the extension of the current bridge, which has not yet taken place. The oil works, which had also been destroyed, was rebuilt and developed as a "state-owned company" oil and fat works Hans Schellheimer into one of the most important oil and margarine works in the GDR with up to 1000 employees. The Luther Church, which was also destroyed in the war, could not be rebuilt, the parish renamed itself "Trinitatiskirchengemeinde" and uses the parish hall called "Ida Hubbe Foundation", which was donated by the manufacturer Hubbe in 1916, for its services.

The building activity after the German reunification in 1990 was limited in the housing sector to the renovation of the Anersiedlung. Instead of the closed oil works, an industrial park was created for several small companies. The barracks on the Elbe were converted for various state ministries. The “ Bördelandhalle ” (today's name GETEC-Arena) as a multifunctional sports and event hall and after the demolition of the Ernst-Grube-Stadium the football stadium MDCC-Arena (completion 2006) were built as Brückfeld's currently most outstanding building .
