Mettenhof is known for its high-rise buildings , which were built in the 1960s and 1970s. The tallest building, “White Giant”, in the Mettenhof district has 25 floors, 22 of which are inhabited, two floors are used as drying rooms, laundry rooms or floor spaces and one floor is used for the elevator workrooms. After a change in the political and social perspective, today's building and planning structure in Mettenhof mainly relies on modern, low-storey blocks of houses as well as single-family or row houses , which gradually change or expand the image of the district. There are examples of this in the Heidenberg area ( district ) , which was recently developed over a large area, as well as in the side streets of the Jutlandring area or in the vicinity of the Heidenberger pond.

The social structure is characterized by high unemployment, a high density of poverty and a high proportion of foreigners. Mettenhof is classified as a district with special development needs.

history

In 1676, Hans-Heinrich von Kielmannsegg, the owner of Gut Quarnbek , built a new side courtyard, a Meierhof, and named it Mettenhof in honor of his first wife Metta von der Wisch, who died in 1675 at the age of 29 giving birth to her eighth child. He named a second Meierhof after his second wife Dorothea von Reventlow Dorotheenthal. Even after Kielmannegg's death in 1686, Mettenhof belonged to Gut Quarnbek until 1937, when a later owner, Ernst Behr, sold part of the land to the city of Kiel, which from 1937 to 1939 was a small - structurally simple, single-storey - settlement for employees a locally based company built the Alt-Mettenhof settlement.

In 1960 the remaining area of ​​the former Meierhof Mettenhof was sold by its owner at the time to the housing and settlement company Neue Heimat . In 1963, the Melsdorf community ceded its Mettenhof district to the city of Kiel; Mettenhof was incorporated into Kiel on June 1, 1963 with 526 inhabitants. Two years later, in 1965, construction began on the “new” district of Mettenhof. The foundation stone was laid during the Kiel Week in 1965. First of all, the southernmost part of Mettenhof, the area between the streets Hofholzallee and Kieler Weg in the north and the Husum – Kiel railway line in the south with the Jutlandring and adjacent streets were built on. When the housing market relaxed in the 1970s, the initially planned residential units for 19,000 people were not built when Mettenhof was further expanded to the north. In the nineties, the Osloring and the Bergenring were extensively renovated. On November 1st, 2008 the long-awaited community center with cafeteria was inaugurated. In 2010 work began on converting the Heidenberger pond into a natural and adventure space. The shopping center at Kurt-Schumacher-Platz was also renovated and the southern part covered. In 2012, the renovation in the Heidenberger Teich area and the BZM schoolyard was finally completed. The total investment amounts to 1.3 million euros. At the same time, the construction of a cafeteria / sports hall for the school at Heidenberger Teich began. In April 2013 construction work began in the area of ​​the former parking deck (demolished in 2007) between MEZ-Süd and Stavangerstraße. Construction work was completed in May 2014. The building complex (where the job center is located on the 2nd floor), which includes the 'Kaufland' supermarket and a parking lot on the ground floor, is directly connected to the existing MEZ building, so “Drontheimstrasse” no longer exists. Extensive construction work also began at famila in August 2013. The existing building is being built to the north. The construction work was completed in May 2014.

The Scandinaviendamm is intended for four-lane expansion throughout, as can still be clearly seen today (2015) on the street lamps and bridges near Wittland in particular. During construction, only the southern part up to Kurt-Schumacher-Platz was laid out with four lanes. In 2000, the section between Kurt-Schumacher-Platz and Stockholmstrasse was expanded to four lanes. In Mettenhof (almost) all streets were named after cities, islands or people who are related to the Nordic countries .

The district newspaper ZfM (newspaper for Mettenhof) was published from September 1970 to February 2012.

Hof Akkerboom

In 1982 the former farm of Eeltje Akkerboom was taken over by the Hof Akkerboom e. V. took over, restored and reopened as a district culture and communication center. In 1998 the culture barn was opened and in November 2006 the wood workshop was made available to interested hobbyists. In 2006 the new bakery was built on Hof Akkerboom, where visitors can prepare bread, pizza and cakes. In 2008 the culture barn , which was destroyed by arson, was reopened, where readings and exhibitions take place.

In 2013 the Klönstuv was opened in the “cowshed” of the Akkerboom farm . Since 2014, a dementia group has been meeting in the wood workshop under the guidance of a social worker and a wood sculptor. On August 10, 2015, a fire destroyed the main building of the courtyard. The building was totaled. According to the unanimous decision of the Kiel Council, the building should be rebuilt from 2016. Events and exhibitions have been taking place in the Kulturscheune again since September 2015. In February 2017, the construction of the new main building began. On March 21, 2018, the newly built main building (threshing floor) of the Akkerboom farm was officially opened.
