Marine District

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gatehouse Fichtestrasse 25

The Marineviertel (also: Marinesiedlung ) is a residential area in Kiel , which is located between Eduard-Adler-Strasse in the north, Westring and Niebuhrstrasse in the west, Hardenbergstrasse in the south and Projensdorfer and Holtenauer Strasse in the east in the districts of Wik and Ravensberg . It consists of houses that were mostly built between 1926 and 1933.

From 1925 to 1930 settlement houses in the Schill-, Fichte-, Kleist-. Hardenbergstrasse and Niebuhrstrasse built. The construction management was taken over by Walter Kelm (1883–1954), son of the naval architect Adalbert Kelm (known for the Mürwik Naval School ). Whereby the Niebuhrstrasse / Kleiststrasse settlement is now and then incorrectly ascribed to the father Adalbert Kelm. The residents of the quarter were originally only members of the Navy and their families. The house and apartment furnishings differ and were assigned according to the respective rank . The special features for the time are the spacious inner courtyards , the loggias , the archways and the openness of the overall concept. Half of the quarter is a listed building . The facades were decorated with decorative elements from the Kiel Art-Ceramic- Group u. a. by Alwin Blaue . A striking element is the so-called wind god by Fritz Theilmann , who sits enthroned over the archway in Fichtestrasse. Theilmann was also used in the marine settlement in Flensburg-Mürwik , which was built at the same time, and which, like the Kiel marine quarter. was built of red brick and has some structural similarities.

Today some of the houses in the district are still owned by the state and are managed and looked after by the Federal Agency for Real Estate . The other part is rented by a civil housing association.

  1. ↑ The monument protection also uses the term marine settlement with regard to the marine quarter. For the cultural monuments there (in Fichtestrasse, Hardenbergstrasse, Kleiststrasse, Niebuhrstrasse, Schillstrasse) in the list of cultural monuments in Kiel-Ravensberg (or there ) the term: "Marine settlement" is used, for example.
