Hafen is a district of the southern Hessian city Offenbach am Main . Along with eleven other districts, it was formed in July 2019 from the area that had previously been free of districts.

Around 1770 people lived in this district in June 2020.

Before houses with a total of around 300 residential units were built here, the 30-hectare former Offenbach harbor was used industrially until the beginning of the 21st century. The area is part of the Route of Industrial Culture Rhein-Main .

location

The port is located in the northwest of Offenbach and is located directly on the Offenbacher Mainbogen , which forms the natural border with the Frankfurt district of Fechenheim opposite , which can be reached via the Carl Ulrich Bridge . To the west is Kaiserlei , to the south it borders on Nordend . The center is the southeastern neighbor.

history

Before houses were built here, oil was handled on the site until the 1970s. This was mostly transported on with the Offenbach port railway .

Infrastructure

education

In Hafen, the harbor school is the district's elementary school . The four-class primary school offers space for around 420 children with two sports halls and a day-care center for around 170 children. 18 teachers teach at the school. The port school was shortlisted for the DAM Prize for Architecture in Germany 2019 and is therefore one of the 25 best buildings of the year. In 2018 the building received the Martin Elsaesser badge from the Association of German Architects .

The intention is to move the University of Design from the center to the port. In 2019, the state of Hesse acquired the land in the district required for the new building. A move is not expected before 2024.

traffic

Road, public transport and rail

Due to its location on the harbor island and along the Main, the port is not affected by through traffic. The Hafenallee , which serves as the border to Nordend, leads to the BAB 661 , which connects the district to the trunk road network. A city ​​bus run by Offenbacher Verkehrs-Betriebe runs through the port , and the district is also connected to the surrounding area by a night bus run by the Rhein-Main transport association. The Offenbach port railway ran through the quarter . The system was last used in 2002 and has been almost completely dismantled.

Long-distance cycle routes

Several cycle paths run through the port :

A permanent bicycle counting point has been located on the central cycle path through the harbor since 2016 . It was the first counting point in Hessen. More than 5000 cyclists are counted on peak days. In 2018, more than 800,000 cyclists passed the measuring device.

The regional loop city and district Offenbach of the Hessian apple wine and orchard route under the motto restaurants, wine presses and weekly market also leads through the port.
