geography

Neighboring districts

The following districts of Mainz border Hartenberg-Münchfeld in a clockwise direction:

in the north Mainz-Mombach , in the east Mainz-Neustadt , in the south Mainz-Oberstadt and (with a small part) Mainz-Bretzenheim and in the west Mainz-Gonsenheim .

Geographical location

In the north, at the Children's Neurological Center , the border is on Hattenbergstrasse and separates the district from Neustadt and Mombach. It runs east along the railway line to the underpass directly north of the main station , through it and then west of the station on Mombacher Strasse (the Baentschstrasse housing estate is on the right ) to Binger Strasse. From here the upper town is on the other side of the border.

On the Binger Straße it goes southwest, past the Taubertsbergbad and the conservatory and the Saarstraße uphill to the south (along the Catholic University of Applied Sciences), the Institute for Musicology and the Art Academy. Opposite the university, continue west on Saarstrasse to the intersection with Koblenzer Strasse, the southernmost point of the district. On Koblenzer Strasse (the less built-up area opposite belongs to Mainz-Gonsenheim), head north, past the Bundesbank branch to the Alzey-Mainz railway line , whose arched section of the Gonsenheim- Waggonfabrik section forms the western boundary that runs through the Gonsbachtal Mainz-Gonsenheim forms. On Hartmühlenweg near the Waggonfabrik stop, the border leads shortly to the east through an allotment area. Mainz-Mombach is on the opposite side . At the Children's Neurological Center, the border again meets the railway line from the south, which forms an arc here to flow from the north into the main station.

Münchfeld

Catholic parish church St. Johannes Evangelist in Münchfeld

The Münchfeld has for several years because of its proximity to the campus of the Johannes Gutenberg University a great appeal for students and employees of these institutions. The Katholische Hochschulgemeinde (KHG) and Evangelische Studentengemeinde (ESG) rent dorm rooms , etc. a. in the community center of the Protestant student community . The residential development covers the spectrum from inexpensive rental apartments to detached single-family houses on a relatively small area, so that overall a population structure consisting of many social classes can be observed. Bausparkasse Mainz is based in Münchfeld and has acquired the former Novo building next to the main building . Its architect Arne Jacobsen later designed the Mainz town hall . The Deutsche Bundesbank operates its main administrative offices in Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland (former State Central Bank Rhineland-Palatinate) on Hegelstrasse.

The Martin Luther King Park

The Martin Luther King Park is a residential district, on the site of a former barracks of the United States Army has emerged. 25  hectares were available for armaments conversion from land used by the military to civil use.

In 1995 the US armed forces left the premises with their relatives; Wohnbau Mainz , which is close to the city and acquired the property, was able to rent or sell over 700 existing apartments. A shopping center of 3,000 square meters was created. Around 500 apartments were subsequently refurbished after toxins were measured. In 1998 the local administration moved to the grounds of the MLK Park. In addition to a primary school and a day-care center (1999), a special school for language-impaired children, the Astrid Lindgren School , was opened.

The Martin-Luther-King-Park eV located here is an association for neighborhood culture. It emerged from the Mainz district initiative Martin-Luther-King-Park (IG MLK-Siedlung). The association promotes living neighborhood and tolerant, multicultural coexistence through civic engagement. The MLKP association gives all residents of the Martin Luther King Park a forum. He organizes meetings, festivals, sporting and cultural activities to bring people from different cultures together. He mediates in conflicts and actively contributes to the development of a tolerant, open, multicultural residential area.

history

View from Mombacher Strasse on the Judensand

The street name "Am Judensand " in the district of Hartenberg indicates the use of parts of the later local area in the Middle Ages. The burial places of the Jewish community were located here. The old Jewish cemetery on the border between Hartenberg-Münchfeld and Neustadt has been preserved to this day; the oldest gravestone dates back to the 11th century. The memorial stone of Gerschom ben Jehuda , who died in 1028 or 1040, is also there.

In the early 19th century, over a thousand people were buried in a mass grave in what is now the district. The grave was discovered in autumn 2018 during construction work for a shooting range. According to initial assessments, it could be German and French soldiers who had fallen victim to an epidemic . Survivors of the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig in 1813, who had fled to Mainz, had brought the so-called Typhus de Mayence into the city. At least 16,292 men of the French occupation and 2,485 people from Mainz died there.

Parts of the former Fort Hartenberg, view from Hartenberg-Park in south direction (October 2019)

Due to the importance of Mainz as a fortress city , the "Hartenberg" also had a military function, because whoever controlled it could bombard downtown Mainz from there. During the expansion of the Neustadt , made possible by the demolition of the northern part of the fortress , a new wall was built around it, the Rheingauwall . It was built between 1872 and 1879 in the New Prussian fortification style and included parts of the current district. Several forts have been partially preserved, such as Fort Hauptstein, the Cavalier Prinz Holstein , Fort Hartmühl in Hartenberg Park north of the water features and the New Golden Ross Barracks . At the suggestion of Field Marshal Edwin von Manteuffel, an army canning factory was built at Mombacher Tor , of which only the foundations can be seen today. When the Südwestrundfunk was expanded in 2003, parts of the Gonsenheim Gate were rediscovered during excavation work. The parts were salvaged and restored near where they were found. Extensive parts of Fort Hartenberg, built in the 19th century, including its mining passages, also came to light when excavation work began on a planned residential development at Hartenberg Park on the site of the Hartenberg Elementary School, which was built around 1965 and demolished in 2018 (later the Peter Jordan School) . A construction freeze of three months came into effect in September 2019 in order to enable the archaeologists to measure and document the facilities before they give way to residential developments.

Bruchweg Stadium

With the construction of the settlement in Baentschstrasse in 1904, civil housing construction in the district began, which continues to this day. In 1928 the Bruchweg Stadium was laid out, in which 1. FSV Mainz 05 played its home games until 2011. At the beginning of the 1960s and 1970s, massive construction was carried out on the Hartenberg and Münchfeld, and living space was created in order to remedy the housing shortage of the post-war period in downtown Mainz. In December 2019, the district had around 18,800 inhabitants (main and secondary residence).

After the death of Martin Luther King Jr. , the city council approved the proposal of the city's cultural and school committee to rename the Bruchweg, which was adjacent to the US Army's “Mainz University Housing Area”, as Dr.-Martin-Luther-King-Weg . The secularization of the “Mainz University Housing Area” brought many apartments for the Mainz civilian population.

As a result of this development, the former Mainz-Innenstadt district was dissolved in 1989 and divided into four independent districts. The new district of Hartenberg-Münchfeld was created from parts of the Mainz-Gonsenheim district and (east of Martin-Luther-King-Weg or Am Judensand) the former inner city district. The district, which consists of the parts of Hartenberg (northeast of the street “An der Allee”) and Münchfeld (southwest of it), has not yet found its own identity.

Christian communities

Both on the Hartenberg and in the Münchfeld there is a Catholic and Protestant parish. The Catholic parishes of St. Rabanus Maurus and St. Johannes Evangelist now form the parish of Don Bosco. The Resurrection Church and the Emmaus Church Congregation are the congregations of the Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau .

The Provincial House of the Oblates of the Immaculate Virgin Mary next to the St. Rabanus Maurus Church was closed in 2017 to make room for residential development.

Catholic youth work

In the center of HaMü there is a large area with green areas, tennis courts , restaurant and group rooms, which is used by youth organizations of the Catholic Church . It was owned by the diocese of Mainz until 2007 . Building rights for a residential area in Fort Gonsenheim have been in place since September 1, 2009 (development plan H85). The development of the former sports field began in early 2010.

The youth organization was built in 1930, the year the French left Mainz, on the former fortress grounds of Fort Gonsenheim . Among other things, it served as the venue for the German Catholic Days of 1947, 1948 and 1998. On August 28, 2009, the Mainz Vicar General, Prelate Dietmar Giebelmann , laid the foundation stone for the new building of the Bishop's Youth Welfare Office on the site. In 2011 the Don Bosco Episcopal Youth Welfare Office, designed by the architect Angela Fritsch Architekten, Darmstadt, was awarded the 2011 Architecture Prize. The larch wood / glass facade convinced the judges with its contrasting materials and colors and spatial structuring.
