Planwerk (Berlin)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The plan is an urban master plan for the inner area of Berlin . In the 1990s, urban planning concentrated on over- planning the city that was now reunited. The focus was on the areas of the city center, northeast, west and southeast, for each of which separate plans were drawn up. The claim to restore Berlin's distinctive urban development blocks in many parts of the city led to controversial discussions. However, the results of the planning were laid down as a model for further urban development.

Downtown plan

The planning work for the inner city was decided on May 18, 1999 by the Berlin Senate as an urban planning model. The original concept was developed under the direction of Peter Strieder by his Senate Building Director, Hans Stimmann . In the long and difficult discussion that began, there were several opposing currents. This resulted in plans for a high-rise Alexanderplatz , as well as historicizing designs that were based on the pre-war period. The planned reconstruction of the Berlin City Palace played a special role , as it represented a point of reference for the historical buildings. The plans for the city palace itself were taken out of the plan as a separate procedure.

The inner city planning work is divided into individual planning workshops:

  • Breitscheidplatz - this area around the Zoo train station and the Memorial Church is to be modernized and supplemented by some new, mostly tall buildings. The zoo window on Joachimstaler Strasse , a new high-rise building designed by architect Richard Rogers in 1992, has been completed since 2013. Furthermore, a second high-rise was built: The Upper West (originally: Atlas Tower ) is 119 meters tall and is the tallest building on Breitscheidplatz.
  • Lietzenburger Strasse - Today (as of 2014) Lietzenburger Strasse is a broad street, which is to be given more urban character through a narrower, street-flush development.
  • Kulturforum - the Kulturforum right next to Potsdamer Platz was designed according to Hans Scharoun's plans , but was never completed. The new plans provide for it to be developed in contrast to the dense development of the Potsdamer Platz ensemble, but at the same time to use its proximity.
  • Spittelmarkt - the planning for the Spittelmarkt provides for a complete redesign of the current situation. The cross-section of the Leipziger and Gertraudenstrasse is to be reduced considerably and to be led over the Gertraudenbrücke to be widened. The New Gertraudenbrücke will be demolished. After the two-storey clothing store on the south side was demolished, the connection between Spittelmarkt and Lindenstrasse via Axel-Springer-Strasse was restored. The planned development is intended to regain the historic square of the Spittelmarkt. Furthermore, a tram line is also to be run across the square. Since Leipziger Strasse is one of the most important east-west traffic axes in this area, the traffic planning and restrictions for motorists are controversial.
  • Molkenmarkt - the Molkenmarkt represents an eastern junction of the Leipziger Strasse traffic axis. At the moment, however, the square is hardly noticeable as such due to a large traffic intersection; it is to be enclosed again by an adjoining development. To this end, the street layout is to be changed and made narrower by means of denser development. In particular, the traffic planning and the new buildings in front of the previously space-dominating townhouse are controversial. The planned tram, coming from Leipziger Strasse, should turn here towards Spandauer Strasse.
  • Fischerinsel - the planning area Fischerinsel lies between Spittelmarkt in the southwest and Molkenmarkt in the northeast. It is to be condensed similarly to these two, based on its pre-war structure. In contrast to the pre-war development, however, more than twice as high a new building is planned. Before the war two-, three- or four-story buildings were predominant and eight-story buildings with apartments, shops, hotels and offices are now to be built. The existing six residential high-rise buildings are to be retained and acoustically separated from Gertraudenstrasse by a roadside development.
  • Luisenstadt - the Luisenstadt planning area extends from the Fischerinsel in the north to the Landwehr Canal in the south. It was divided up until the fall of the Berlin Wall and is now to be developed again as a unified area. The focus is on closing gaps and building block perimeter flush with the street.
  • Karl-Marx-Allee ( Königsstadt ) - the plans in the Karl-Marx-Allee area extend to the Mollstrasse corner of Landsberger Allee in the north and to the Spree in the south . One focus of this planning is the restoration of the historical course of Landsberger Straße between Alexanderplatz and Büschingplatz as a promenade with a cycle path. The redesign around the United Nations Square is to be processed in a separate planning process. In the south, up to the Spree, a densification of the urban structure is planned, in the area of ​​Schillingstrasse the restoration of roadside buildings.

The inner city plan was replaced at the beginning of 2011 by the inner city plan. With the Inner City Plan, the Inner City Plan, adopted in 1999, was expanded and supplemented both spatially and methodically.
