Mundsburg
As Mundsburg a not well-defined area around the same is underground station in Hamburg called. It is located in the Hamburg-Nord district in the Uhlenhorst and Barmbek-Süd districts .
history
The name goes back to a previous owner of the site, the Hamburg wine merchant Johann Heinrich Mund, who died in 1746. In 1721 he acquired one of the Immenhöfe on the left side of the Alster , which was already mentioned in the 16th century. Its newly built main building was named after him "Mund t sburg". The Mundsburg site was located between today's streets Schürbeker Straße, Mundsburger Damm and Immenhof.
The homestead was initially operated as a vegetable farm with attached cattle breeding. The heirs of Mund sold part of the property to commercial enterprises, including a windmill. The French destroyed the site for defense purposes in 1813 . The building, simply called “Mundshof”, was then rebuilt and bought back by the city in 1866. It existed until 1879.
The Mundsburger Damm was created when the Uhlenhorst was filled in around 1870. The Mundsburg Bridge over the Mundsburg Canal represented a new connection to Hohenfelde .
architecture
Significant buildings such as the Mundsburg underground station, the former police station and the Hammonia bath are listed buildings .
Mundsburg towers
The approximately 100 meter high skyscrapers "Mundsburg Towers", which can be seen from afar, were built in the early 1970s. As the district boundary was moved from Bachstrasse to Winterhuder Weg in the 1930s, they belong to the Barmbek-Süd district.
Previous use of the site
Up to the Second World War, there were up to four-storey apartment building complexes in the historicism style with 16 individual shops, etc., on the site of Hamburger Straße and Winterhuder Weg . a. the Mordhorst bakery, the Lenk slaughterhouse and the Vereinsbank Hamburg . They were largely destroyed by the bombing of Hamburg in 1943 . Thereto and to the 340 bomb victims in Operation Gomorrah choked on Kohlenmonoxydgasen public bomb shelter of the former Karstadt building, the memorial reminds of Hildegard Huza at the pedestrian crossing on the road to Hamburg Oberaltenallee. It was inaugurated on July 30, 1985 and shows a person seeking protection in a corner of a brick wall.
Residential and commercial high-rises
The two towers on Hamburger Straße were completed in 1973 by the real estate project developer “Spranger & Büll” based on a design by the Hamburg architects Garten, Kahl and Bargholz. The tower with the inscription "Mundsburg" on the corner of Winterhuder Weg - one of the highest residential complexes in Germany - is 101 m high and houses mostly 1 and 2-room condominiums from the 5th to the 29th floor. The rear tower is 90 meters high, has 22 office floors and was completely renovated by 2011.
The condominiums were very exclusive when they were completed in 1973. There is a porter in the entrance hall. The building was pre-equipped for a central air conditioning system , which was never put into operation due to the high expected operating costs ( 1973 oil crisis ). The residents could use the elevator to reach the swimming pool (no longer available) on the fourth floor. The purchase prices of the apartments were correspondingly high. The third tower, located on Winterhuder Weg, was completed in 1975. It is 97 meters high, has small, wraparound balconies and 26 floors with 1 and 2-room rental apartments.
Unlike in the USA , this attempt to establish inner-city high-rise apartments in the upscale segment has remained an isolated case in Hamburg. The only comparable building in Hamburg is the (smaller) high-rise residential complex “Palmaille 35” in Altona, also from 1973.
Shopping centers
Since the “revitalization” of the Mundsburg complex in 1998, a large gate at the corner of Hamburger Strasse and Winterhuder Weg has formed the entrance to the “Mundsburg Center” shopping center with a connection on the first floor to the “ Hamburger Meile ” shopping center . In the course of this redesign, the swimming pool, a sauna, a sports center and a cinema complex from 1973, which had been located on the fourth floor (on the roof of the basement), were demolished between 1997 and 1998. These radical alterations destroyed the relationship between the basement and high-rise towers contained in the original design by the architects Garten, Kahl and Bargholz.
Since the renovation, the “Mundsburg Center” has been home to retail and gastronomy options, among others. a. a multiplex cinema and a slot machine casino.
Former police station
The brick building with sandstone structure and terracotta decoration was built on Oberaltenallee in 1893 according to plans by building director Carl Zimmermann and initially housed the district office of the police authority. The architectural style is inspired by Renaissance buildings . Police station 31 was housed here until March 15, 2009. Since March 16, 2009, the police station has been located in a new building further out of town in Oberaltenallee opposite the Hamburger Straße shopping center. Since September 2011 the student exchange organization Deutsches Youth for Understanding Komitee e. V. the building as an office.
The street name "Oberaltenallee" comes from the time when this was a private street of the college of the elderly . Up until the Second World War, Oberaltenallee was a two-way street parallel to Hamburger Straße. With the revitalization of the street from Adolf-Schönfelder-Straße in the east to Winterhuder Weg in the late 1960s, the direction of travel was changed in the sense of a common one-way street regulation.
traffic
The intersection at Mundsburg is an important traffic junction in the city. This is where the traffic flows from the city center and the south, which flow from the Elbe bridges ( A 255 ) northeast towards City Nord and the airport and the former B 434 towards Bargteheide , cross with the B 5 from Berlin to Husum .
The Mundsburg underground station is a station on the U 3 ring line , and the buses of Metrobus 25 as well as lines 172 and 173 (Mundsburger Brücke - Bf.Barmbek - Ohlsdorf - Fuhlsbüttel / - Bramfeld) also stop here . There is a taxi stand and a rental station for city bikes in front of the station building .
The stop of the express bus line 37, which roughly serves the route of the former tram line 9 in the direction of Bramfeld, is located at the beginning of the nearby large shopping center Hamburger Meile .
Until the mid-1960s, tram lines 6 to Ohlsdorf, 9 to Bramfeld See (both to U / S-Barmbek parallel to the subway), 8 to Farmsen Trabrennbahn via Dehnhaide subway station and 14 (St. Pauli - Eimsbüttel - Eppendorf - Winterhude - Berliner Tor - Veddel ) and 15 (Altona - Eimsbüttel - Eppendorf - Winterhude - Burgstraße - Hamm ). Until the mid-1970s there were only the two (now shortened) lines 14 and 15 in the direction of Winterhude or Veddel and Hamm.
Culture
The Ernst Deutsch Theater - founded as a "Young Theater" - moved to Mundsburg in 1964. After the co-founder, actor and artistic director of the private stage, the square in front of the theater was named after Friedrich Schütter in 2002. After redesigning the station and theater forecourt, the 17-meter-high, red stele by designer Peter Schmidt, inaugurated in August 2009, is the eye-catcher of the entrance area to the theater .
On the eastern side of the train station, The English Theater found its venue in the former Hammonia-Bad am Lerchenfeld. Only pieces in English are performed here. The majority of the expressionist brick building , which was built between 1926 and 1928 as a spa and bathing establishment, now houses medical practices of various specialties and a restaurant.
The Mundsburg Theater was a cinema that already existed in the 1930s, which despite war damage was one of ten Hamburg cinemas that was allowed to reopen to the civilian population in 1945. After renovation in 1957, as UFA-Mundsburg with 1400 seats in parquet and tier, it became the largest UFA cinema in town at the time. After operations ceased in 1962, the Ernst-Deutsch-Theater was opened in the house in 1964. The film operation of the Mundburg cinema later continued under changing names on Hamburger Straße in the Mundsburg-Zentrum, which was converted into a multiplex cinema with over 2000 seats in eight halls in 1998.
Infrastructure
Sielnetz hub
On the northern forecourt of the Mundsburg underground station there are several manholes in the eastern branch of the Geest-Stammsiels of the Hamburger Stadtentwässerung (HSE) . The Osterbek-Stammsiel leads as a three-kilometer-long tube with a diameter of 2.5 meters from Hufnerstrasse (Barmbek) via Mundsburg to the cow mill. Branches lead north to Heinrich-Hertz-Strasse and west to Mundsburger Damm.
The extensive construction work left only space for three trees and a few bushes on the northern forecourt.
Directional radio and mobile radio stations
Antennas for directional radio and mobile radio are installed on the three high-rise towers and on two other buildings at Mundsburg . Among other things, there is a so-called “Ultra High Site” (UHS) for the UMTS network from E-Plus on one of the high-rise towers .
