history

Historically, one speaks of the Schillerviertel as a station district , which was located between the passenger station in the city center and the marshalling and freight yard in the lower town. The area was badly damaged during the war. The fabric of the building is still occasionally characterized by buildings from the Wilhelminian era and mainly by post-war architecture.

In recent years, the vacancy in the Schillerviertel has become an urban planning problem due to the requirements of urban development policy.

Townscape

The former route of the tram between Lutherplatz and the turning loop " Ottostraße " below the main train station has been replaced by bus routes. In the area facing the former freight yard, the new building of the employment office and from 1994 to 1997 the new building of the police headquarters on the site of the "Golden Hole" were built, the architects were the Kassel architects Goller.

On the hilltop in the direction of the residential area are the grounds of the old post office and local small businesses that were located there in the 1920s. The area of the former lower town train station , which is directly adjacent to the Schillerviertel , is currently used by a building materials trade and rental companies as a parking lot and storage area. The site of the former train station is to be used as a commercial area. An artist's studio has already been built, and a new job center is planned. It delimits the sloping area behind it to Mombachstrasse over a large area with valuable trees and now shrubs and low trees that are making their own way as a succession area.
