 Location of the Mueßer Holz district in Schwerin
|
|
Mueßer Holz is a district of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania state capital Schwerin .
The district emerged from the Great Dreesch after the fall of the Wall , when it was divided into the districts of Großer Dreesch, Neu Zippendorf and Mueßer Holz according to its three construction phases .
location
The Mueßer Holz is located in the southeast of the city of Schwerin south of the Schweriner See . In the south it borders directly on the village of Consrade, which belongs to the municipality of Plate . The area, which is built exclusively in prefabricated construction, is largely surrounded by forests.
history
The starting signal for the third construction phase of the Great Dreesch was May 21, 1978. 9623 residential units for around 29,000 residents were built on an area of 107 hectares, which belonged to the municipal housing association in Schwerin and the housing association Schwerin. The austerity policy that began in 1979 required some deviations from the original plans. Instead of a sports hall, a multifunctional culture and leisure center was built, an extension into which a youth club was to move became a catering facility, and instead of a petrol station and a parking lot, the five-storey buildings that were common in GDR times were raised. Terrace gardens for tenants, school gardens and a district center with shopping streets were also not created. The planned 17-storey high-rise buildings, which were supposed to be inhabited by around a quarter of the population, only received eleven floors because there was no steel for reinforcement. Other planned high-rise buildings were discarded. Since there was a lack of apartments, a reserve area was used on which five-storey buildings were built. Since there was always a shortage of apartments, five-storey prefabricated buildings with 900 residential units were built up beyond the city limits in the municipality of Plate. The territorial conditions were only finally clarified in 1994 and the illegally built-up area came to Schwerin.
On the occasion of the 825th anniversary of Schwerin, a statue of Lenin was unveiled in 1985 . This monument was not removed after the fall of the Wall and is now the westernmost statue of Lenin in Europe.
After reunification, the three districts of the former Grosse Dreesch developed into residential areas with increased unemployment and crime rates, albeit with different intensities depending on the distance from the city center. In a 2007 survey, Mueßer Holz was the only district in Schwerin that was largely (56.2%) rated negatively by its own population. The great distance to the core city, the one-sided traffic development, poor social and cultural mix and the associated stigma led to a ghettoization of the district, large numbers of residents moving to the surrounding area, to more attractive districts or to other federal states, which resulted in high housing vacancies has been countered here for a few years with renovation and demolition projects.

Transport links
In order for the residents of Dreesch III to be able to get to their workplaces quickly, the tram line that already ran Dreesch II in 1974 was extended by 2.3 kilometers by 1984 and has its final stop in the form of a turning loop at the Hegelstraße station . The route is used by three of the four tram lines of Schwerin local transport . There are also bus lines 13 and 16. The federal road 321 runs north of the district . The streets of the district primarily bear the names of personalities from the natural sciences (physics, chemistry, aerospace, etc.).
