Parkstadt Solln
The Park City Solln is a large housing estate in the southern city of Munich district Solln with approximately 2,000 residential units, the essential parts from 1965 to 1967 according to plans by Ernst Maria Lang were built. It was conceived as part of the urban development plan of 1963 , which provided for a polycentric urban expansion, and was created adjacent to the historic village center of Solln in the green belt that separates Solln from Forstenried .
Location and structure
The Parkstadt Solln covers around 400 hectares, bordering on Alt-Solln to the west. The Munich city council decided on construction in June 1964, and construction began in 1965. The settlement was planned and built on previous fields. The existing streets Stäbli-, Welti- and Herterichstraße were defined as borders. In the west, a new four-lane main road was built as a connection from Boschetsrieder Strasse to Herterichstrasse, which was originally to be called Würmseestrasse after the old name of Lake Starnberg , but was finally named after the explorer Erich von Drygalski . A few more houses were to be built south of Herterichstrasse and, according to the original plan, the quarter's Protestant church. Neither was realized, as was the continuation of Drygalski-Allee to Bundesstraße 11 ; half a century later a large block of flats was built there. The area between Hofbrunnstrasse and Stäblistrasse in the north is included in the development plan, but no changes in the existing development have been reported. In the planning, Hofbrunnstrasse is the northern border of the new development area.
The architect Ernst Maria Lang designed the estate in such a way that the height of the buildings rose from the historic Solln to the west in order to avoid a hard transition. The streets and buildings are aligned with two cores, the elementary school named after Leo Samberger and the shopping center ( Forum ) on Drygalski-Allee, which was also expanded by architect Lang in 1974/75 to include the Parkstadt Solln ecumenical church center . From 1968 the forum also housed a district library of the Munich City Library . It was closed after the district center opened in neighboring Fürstenried in 1987 with a Munich adult education center , citizens' hall and a larger district library.
Architect Lang designed the overall planning of the estate on behalf of the developer DEBA . The individual areas and building types were assigned to various architects, with Lang himself taking over the forum and several parts of the building.
The streets in Parkstadt Solln are named after painters and graphic artists of the 19th and 20th centuries, with the exception of Drygalski-Allee and Springerstraße, which are named after Erich von Drygalski and Balthasar Springer , both explorers.
The continuous green corridor between Forstenried and the Parkstadt Solln would have been completely developed according to the ideas of the DEBA. The company had already acquired almost the entire area from the landowners before urban planning began. According to the planning law at the time, the effect of the green corridor as a clear division of the city district and border between the village forest land and the modern large housing estate could only be permanently secured by concentrating the building rights for the entire area on the eastern part. Therefore, the twelve-story buildings and the 20-story skyscraper were inevitable.
Building types and individual structures
In the immediate vicinity of the historic village center of Solln in the southeast of Parkstadt and again north of the school, there are several blocks of atrium houses. Each one is an L-shaped bungalow at ground level around a small garden that is completely private by a wall at building height. They are partly built next to each other, partly offset from one another, so that they make good use of the ground despite the flat construction. In the very south of the settlement there are a total of six rows of so-called chain houses. These are two-storey terraced houses whose living room is extended into the garden at ground level and thus shields the terrace from the view of the neighbors. Also innovative for the construction period were maisonette condominiums, each extending over two floors, connected by an internal staircase.
In the south-west, west of Drygalski-Allee, there are two high-rise buildings known as Max and Moritz . They were planned by the architects Jürgen von Gagern and Udo von der Mühlen and are considered excellent examples of successful high-rise construction. All four sides are designed differently and the facades are structured by partly deeply drawn in, partly cantilevered balconies. Large plant troughs on the balconies make the south and west sides look green. The furnishings were of high quality, with underfloor and ceiling heating and floor-to-ceiling window strips, which are shaded by the balconies in summer.
Architect Lang was dissatisfied with the tallest structure, the 20-story DEBA high-rise. He himself had planned a high point in the draft of the settlement, to which he had aligned the structure and in particular the lines of the forum. He wanted an "interestingly structured body" with an "aesthetically perfect contour", a "good profile", "carefully considered materials" to be created. The DEBA boss Thomas Schlereth decided to plan the construction himself, together with most of the buildings in the southwest that were added to the settlement at a later date. The result is considered unsuccessful, a “very schematic, unclean box” (EM Lang). The skyscraper was originally planned as a hotel and intended for the 1972 Olympic Games . Even before the opening in 1971, it turned out that the hotel capacity had been sufficiently expanded so that it was marketed as an apartment house.
In the southwest on Herterichstraße is Klein-Schoenstatt , a chapel and the seminar house of the Schoenstatt Movement for the Archdiocese of Munich-Freising . The small chapel was already during the International Eucharistic Congress in 1960 of Our Lady of Schoenstatt consecrated. The first construction phase of the seminar house was completed in 1970/71 shortly after the Parkstadt was built, and the conference house was expanded in 1990/91.
Across from Klein-Schoenstatt , on the south side of Herterichstrasse and adjacent to the Herterichstrasse district sports facility and the grounds of TSV Solln , there is a recreational area, "a real El Dorado for recreational activities for the residents of Parkstadt Solln".
character
The Parkstadt Solln is considered to be a "predominantly positive example" of the construction of the 1960s. The large estate is clearly divided into sub-areas with "sensitive open space design". With the exception of the DEBA high-rise, the buildings are “human-sized”, and the transition to the old Solln avoids a “confrontation”.
Parkstadt has lived up to its name since the trees planted when the settlement was built reached their full height. For large estates from the 1960s, it is greened far above average; important axes for pedestrians and cyclists run entirely in green strips away from the streets.
Although the name “Parkstadt Solln” was and is used by all those involved from the beginning and up to the present day, the Munich City Council passed a resolution on October 7, 1964, according to which the then planned settlement should and in particular be called “Neu-Solln” the nickname “Parkstadt” should be dispensed with, because “ Parkstadt Bogenhausen ” would be an established term in Munich as a park city. However, the name has not caught on and is not used in official publications.
