Rosenberg is a district of the Swiss city ​​of St. Gallen .

St. Gallen, Rosenberg seen from the south from the Bernegg. In the middle left the Lokremise, in the middle the University of Applied Sciences.

The quarter stretches from the north of the St. Gallen train station in north direction to the Höhenweg of the eponymous hill range, where it borders the geographically clearly delimited Schoren quarter on the northern slope of the Rosenberg, but which, under the name Dietli-Hözli-Schoren, belongs to the same group of quarters . To the west it extends to the Lachen -Quartier, to the east to Tigerbergstrasse, where the quarter meets the Langgass-Heiligkreuz district group . Due to the southern orientation of the slope, the Rosenberg district developed into a popular residential area for affluent St. Gallen citizens at the end of the 19th century. On the other hand, the Schoren railroad settlement was built on the northern slope from 1911. The Rosenberg is accessed from the city of St. Gallen by bus lines 9 and 10 .

Public institutions and schools

There are some important cultural and school buildings in the quarter, with the northern station area in particular ensuring ongoing discussions in St. Gallen. The St. Gallen University of Applied Sciences was established in the area mentioned. There is also the St. Gallen Lokremise , a former part of the railway station infrastructure, which is now used for cultural events, film screenings and a restaurant. Also on this square is the Spanish clubhouse Hogar , which was bought by the city after various discussions. Apart from this focal point of urban development, the St. Gallen language therapy school and the elite boarding school on the Rosenberg are also located in the quarter . Access to the St. Gallen children's festival area is also from the Höhenweg, even if the area itself is north of the path and therefore in the Schoren district.

The quarter does not have any high school. The Schoren school building, which is part of the Feldli Pirmar School (Lachen district), and three kindergartens are located in the Schoren district.

Demographics

According to the district portraits of the city of St. Gallen from 2015, the statistical Rosenberg district, which is almost congruent with the one discussed here, was inhabited by 3,632 people, with the proportion of people between 20 and 64 years of age at 75%, well above the urban average of 66% . The proportion of young people and children from 0 to 19 years of age, however, was 10%, well below the urban average of 17%. At 17%, the proportion of people over 65 is only 2% above the average. The proportion of foreigners at 29% is also almost in the urban mean of 30%. Since a large part of the Hölzli-Schoren-Rüti district is located in the statistical Lachen district, only the population figures for part of this district can be given here: 33% of the 1046 people were young people up to 19 years of age (which is the highest proportion in the city ), only 52% were of working age up to 64 years, 65 and older were 17%.

Naming and history

Historical photo (around 1900): Rosenberg, Rosenbergstrasse, Lagerstrasse / Klubhausstrasse, view to the east; front right part of the Lokremise

The range of hills north of the city center of St. Gallen did not get its common name Rosenberg until the end of the 17th century. The hills were called from the west Ochsner Mountain (now Quartier Rosenberg), Högger mountain and Hauptlisberg (today the settlement area Rotmonten ). The name comes from the name of a country estate on today's Höhenweg, which probably belonged to a municipal house on the Rose .

The slope was not built until the end of the 19th century, as can be seen from the historical city maps from 1860 to 1891. The main reason why the settlement took place so late was that the slope had not yet been developed by roads and was practically inaccessible. A development plan was presented to the citizens in 1883 and special building regulations for road construction on Rosenberg were issued in 1888. As a result, building activity began, in the course of which many stately villas were built. In the meantime, many of these have been demolished and replaced by modern apartment blocks.

On the valley floor north of the station area, rental and storage houses were built from the 1880s, from which the above-mentioned area of ​​the northern station developed.

Schoren, St. Gallen: Schoren railway settlement shortly after its construction (approx. 1914)

The quarter-Hölzli Schoren was as a railway settlement built in 1911 to 1913 by Paul Robert Gerber of the railway cooperative. The settlement has largely been preserved in its original form to this day.
