The musicians' quarter in Flensburg - Engelsby is an urban area that emerged in the 20th century in the form of a large housing estate and represents a large part of the Engelsby district. The streets in the neighborhood are named after composers .

location

The musicians' quarter lies in the middle of the Engelsby district . Engelsby-Süd is located on the western edge of the large musicians' quarter . On the eastern edge are the star district , Twedt , Trögelsby and the Vogelsang . In the south, the musicians' quarter is bounded by the Tarup district including the Adelby area. Engelsbyer Straße and Nordstraße run along the northern edge .

background

The structural fabric of the Musikerviertel, which consists of multi-storey apartments ( rows of buildings and high-rise buildings ), was largely built between 1961 and 1968. At the end of the Second World War , Flensburg had quickly grown into a large city due to the influx of refugees . After the war, the city tried to improve the living conditions of the refugees and gradually to close refugee camps that were spread across the city. As a result, living space was created, especially in the eastern part of the city. Construction activity in the 1950s was initially concentrated in the neighboring district of Fruerlund . The city of Flensburg had over 97,000 inhabitants in 1960 (see population development of Flensburg ), of which 2,436 people had to live in 11 community camps. Due to the lack of further living space in the outskirts of the city, it should be created. At the beginning of the 1960s, the development and development of the area directly south of Engelsbyer Strasse began, where at that time there were still undeveloped areas, fields and meadows.

In the course of this development, several streets were created that were named after composers. The first streets of the new quarter were named on April 5, 1961. They were: Beethovenstrasse , Brahmsstrasse , Dietrich-Buxtehude-Strasse , Franz-Schubert-Hof , Händelhof , Mozartstrasse and Weberstrasse . On September 27, 1962, the name of Joseph-Hayebaudn-Strasse followed . The Richard-Wagner-Straße was named on November 9, 1965 awarded. With the naming of the streets completed, the construction of the apartment buildings adjacent to them was also gradually completed. In 1966, the point houses Franz-Schubert-Hof 20 and 21 and Mozartstrasse 31 were completed. In the same year, the last refugee barrack in Flensburg was evacuated. The Franz-Liszt-Hof and Nikolaus-Bruhns-Strasse were given their names on October 9, 1969. With a long time lag, Max-Reger-Strasse was finally given its name on July 5, 1979. At some point during this time, the largest high-rise in the large housing estate was built at Brahmstrasse 1, on the corner with Mozartstrasse.

After the construction of these approximately 1,280 housing units, the population of the Engelsby district increased by approximately 2,900 people. The church council of the Adelby Church reacted to the population increase in the 1960s. In 1970, the Engelsby Evangelical Daycare Center was set up in Brahmsstrasse for the children of the musicians' quarter. The municipal elementary school Engelsby, located not far from the day-care center, at Brahmsstrasse 2, with its large sports field , was apparently set up relatively at the same time in the middle of the musicians' quarter. The Adelby church council also responded by building a community center in the middle of the neighborhood. In the community center, which was completed in 1973 and consists of a small chapel and a multi-purpose hall, services and various other events have been held since then.

Mozartstrasse developed into one of the main streets of the musicians' quarter. Today there are several shops, restaurants, a branch of the local savings bank and several bus stops on it. In the 1980s and 1990s, many repatriates moved into the musicians' quarter. In 1998, the Engelsby police station was set up in a high-rise building at Franz-Schubert-Hof 21. In the 1990s there were violent conflicts between Engelsby and Mürwiker youth. Also vandalism was a problem. In 2004 a documentary was dedicated to the police station in the district. After the construction of the Osttangente , Mozartstrasse was connected to Nordstrasse (B 199) in 2007 . The quality of living and the positive image of the musicians' quarter has been increased by renovation measures since the first 2000s.

The five four-storey row buildings of the self-help building association on Mozartstrasse have been renovated since 2017 . Its red brick facade, from the 1960s, was replaced by a new, white facade, and external elevators and stacked floors for new living space were added. In addition, the exterior facades of the houses facing the street received wall paintings eight meters by eight meters with motifs related to pieces of music by the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart . The Mozart pieces on which the exterior wall paintings of the apartment buildings on Mozartstrasse are based are: The Marriage of Figaro , Don Giovanni , The Abduction from the Seraglio , A Little Night Music and The Magic Flute . Two of the red brick apartment buildings to the west of Mozartstrasse (No. 9-23, 25-29) were obviously largely redesigned during this period. Some of the neighboring houses to the west and east, whose appearance originally resembled that of the renovated houses, have not yet been converted. Nowadays, the majority of Engelsby residents obviously still live in the aforementioned multi-storey apartment blocks in the musicians' quarter. Only in the outskirts of the musicians' quarter do families live in single-family houses.
