The Potsdam-Süd district of the independent city of Potsdam in Brandenburg is made up of the residential estate Kolonie Daheim (a settlement built between 1894 and 1897 for the workers of the Royal Railway Workshops - later: Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk Potsdam - and now a listed building ) and Kunersdorfer Straße , as well as the listed one Outskirts settlement and the Eigenheim settlement on the edge of the Ravensberge , but also characterized by the three large new housing estates Waldstadt I, Waldstadt II and Am Schlaatz. It unites the Teltower and Templiner suburbs as well as the Hermannswerder peninsula as well as the suburban settlements and residential areas and represents the most populous district.
Teltower and Templiner Vorstadt, Brauhausberg
The Templiner Vorstadt (named after the Templin desert on the Templiner See ) is located in the south directly on the B 2 in the direction of Michendorf , at the foot of the Potsdamer Brauhausberg.
The name Brauhausberg goes back to the former royal brewery, which had its seat on this mountain since 1728. For the storage of the beer, tunnels were driven into the mountain, which can still be seen today. Ice floes from the nearby Havel were stored in these in winter to ensure sufficient cooling in summer. The former brewery was still in operation in the 1980s and was only then replaced by a modern brewery on the Rehbrücke industrial site. On the Brauhausberg, the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. 1804 build a lookout tower in neo-Gothic style for Queen Luise . Around this, the new war school (later Reichsarchiv and SED district administration and until 2013 the seat of the Brandenburg State Parliament ) was built from 1899 to 1902 according to plans by Franz Schwechten .
Between Teltower and Templiner Vorstadt is the Ravensberge forest area , which is also used as a local recreation area due to its widely ramified paths and the small and large Ravensberg . It stretches to the Templiner See and its shore road to the Forsthaus Templin at the Waldbad Templin (formerly Strandbad Templin). The towns of Caputh and Ferch can also be reached through this forest area . Here is also the Telegrafenberg with the Albert Einstein Science Park , which was laid out in the 19th century , to which the famous Einstein Tower and the Large Refractor (telescope) of the Astrophysical Institute Potsdam and the Helmert Tower belong. After the fall of the Wall in the 1990s, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), and the geological research center were established here. The German Weather Service is also in the immediate vicinity with a branch office. There were several facilities of the Meteorological Service of the GDR there until the political change .
A large part of the Teltower suburb is occupied by the New and Old Cemeteries , which, along with a few smaller ones in Babelsberg , are the most important and largest cemeteries in Potsdam. They are only separated from each other by the Heinrich-Mann-Allee (formerly Saarmunder Straße). The old cemetery was laid out in 1796 and was given its name as early as 1867, as the new cemetery had to be laid out on the opposite side of the street due to the lack of space . In 1851 the old cemetery was given a late classical mourning hall with a chapel. Famous Potsdamers such as the doctor Ernst von Bergmann , Eleonore Prochaska , Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch and the organ builder Alexander Schuke (founder of the Alexander Schuke Potsdam organ building ) are buried in this cemetery. The Brandenburg State Chancellery , the official seat of the Prime Minister, is in the immediate vicinity .
Hermannswerder
Hermannswerder ( 52 ° 23 ' N , 13 ° 2' E ), formerly Tornow, is an anvil-shaped peninsula that protrudes into the Templiner See, and thus part of the Templin suburb. The peninsula is named after Hermann Hoffbauer . The approximately 40 hectare south-western area is owned by the Evangelical Hoffbauer Foundation , which has its headquarters there and operates a Protestant grammar school with boarding school as well as some care facilities for the elderly and the disabled. The Clara Hoffbauer University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam is supported by the subsidiary of the Hoffbauer Foundation Evangelical University of Potsdam. On Hermannswerder there is also the evangelical island church Hermannswerder , consecrated in 1911 , a neo-Gothic brick building with 600 seats and an organ made by the Potsdam organ building company Schuke .
On the rest of the northeastern area with the headlands of Alter Tornow and Küssel, there have been a few villas and single-family houses since the 1920s, as well as residential developments from the 1950s to 1970s, but also allotment gardens of the Potsdamers. This peninsula is also connected to the western suburbs by a cable ferry . There is a connection to the main train station via a bus line.
The Judengraben , which connects the bays Vorderkappe and Hinterkappe in Lake Templin , separates Hermannswerder from the mainland, which thus de facto forms an artificial island.
At the Schlaatz
The prefabricated housing estate Am Schlaatz (Slavic word for swamp ) as the youngest development area of this district was essentially built up to 1987 on the Potsdam part of the Nuthewiesen directly on the Nuthe , whereby it was necessary to cover the building ground with sand from the nearby Fill up the quarry pond (this was only created for this purpose) on the Nutheschnellstrasse . After a massive decline in population in the first years after the fall of the Wall and the resulting extensive renovations and modernization of the apartments, it was originally a so-called ratio apartment, with 3–4 rooms and a size of 54 to 70 m², this residential area is today Very popular with the numerous students from Potsdam and Berlin universities.
There are connections to neighboring residential areas such as Drewitz or the Teltower suburb via two tram lines and some bus lines (including a night bus line) . Also is the main station of Potsdam , and the train bound Rehbrücke.
Waldstadt I
The Waldstadt I settlement is the oldest of the so-called new building areas in Potsdam and was built from the end of the 1950s to the end of the 1970s on the immediate city limits of what was then Rehbrücke (now a district of Nuthetal ). In this area also is Stadtrandsiedlung . The residential area is built in the middle of the forest in a large block construction and has a primary school and the Potsdam Waldorf School .
The soccer field of the SSV Turbine Potsdam is also located here. a. In 1999 the 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam was spun off, which was founded here on March 3, 1971 as the women's team of the BSG Turbine Potsdam .
The Rehbrücke train station is located directly on the border with the neighboring Rehbrücke, with the option of changing to the RE7 and RB33 lines. In addition to numerous bus lines, a total of three tram lines run through the town along the main street, which enable a quick connection to the main train station.
Waldstadt II
The residential area Waldstadt II was built in the late 1970s to mid-1980s. This purely prefabricated housing estate borders a large forest area into which it was built at the time and in which the Teufelssee and the Ravensberge are popular excursion destinations. This forest area is also a nature reserve, as wetlands occur in this region.
The nature reserve is bounded in the south by the village of Bergholz , in the north by Potsdam, in the west by the railway line of the southern Berliner Ring and in the east by Waldstadt II.
The two residential areas Waldstadt I and II are separated from each other by Heinrich-Mann-Allee and a tram route . The more extensive infrastructure such as the medical center and shopping center are located in this area, which also represents the greater part of the two forest cities.
Conceptually, the structure of the new development area Waldstadt II differs in relation to the new development area Am Schlaatz through the integration of the existing forest area into the courtyards and rings. The architect of Waldstadt II received the GDR national prize for this architectural approach . In 2007, Waldstadt II officially celebrated its 25th anniversary of completion. In fact , more rows of houses were built within these 25 years, for example along the tram route and the railway route of the Wetzlarer Bahn , after the originally planned number of prefabricated residential buildings could not be built in the neighboring Am Schlaatz area due to insufficient load-bearing capacity, and therefore the required buildings here were settled alternatively.
