Sigmund-Freud-Strasse settlement
The Sigmund-Freud-Straße housing estate is a Frankfurt housing estate from the post-war period and the 1970s in the Eckenheim district . The eponymous Sigmund-Freud-Straße is named after the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud .
Emergence
The settlement was built in the late 1950s and mid-1970s with funds from social housing by the non-profit housing and settlement company, a predecessor of GWH Wohnungsgesellschaft mbH Hessen and other housing associations. In the first construction phase, 485 apartments were built and around 1000 more apartments were built in the high-rise residential buildings from the 1970s.
description
The Sigmund-Freud-Straße settlement is located northwest of the Eckenheim town center on both sides of Sigmund-Freud-Straße, which runs around the town in a quarter circle. The residential area covers an area of around twelve hectares. It is limited in the west by the Gebrüder Hommel facility as well as sports and tennis courts, in the north by the Niederfeld, a natural meadow landscape in the nature reserve green belt and green corridors , in the east by Gießener Strasse and the neighboring district of Preungesheim , and in the south the location closes off Eckenheim at.
In the first construction phase, which covers a good five hectares, mainly three- and four-story buildings with a gable roof were built. They are arranged alongside the road on the east side of the road. On the north-western side of the outskirts there are ten row buildings across the street. The generously landscaped areas between the fanned out residential buildings open up to the landscape. In the south, the development is supplemented by two-storey single-family terraced houses , the scale of which is adapted to the existing, small-scale development of the historic town center. In the early 1970s, the settlement along Sigmund-Freud-Strasse east of Steinkleestrasse was expanded by a further seven hectares. The development concept followed the model of urban development at the time, urbanity through density . Ten residential high-rise buildings were built that are up to 17 floors high. In 1970, Deutsche Lloyd Lebensversicherungs AG built three high-rise apartment buildings with a total of 255 apartments. In 1974 two residential high-rise buildings with 12 and 17 storeys with a total of 165 apartments were built by the Nassauische Heimstätte north of Sigmund-Freud-Straße according to plans by architect Georg Müller. In addition, two high-rise residential buildings with condominiums and marbled exterior walls were built on the south side of the street. All of the high-rise buildings shape the northern townscape of Eckenheim. Around twenty single- story atrium houses were also built on Adolf-Leweke-Strasse , which were sold as private homes. In 1988 a further 24 social housing units were built in three-storey buildings in the southern settlement area.
Development
The Sigmund-Freud-Straße is connected to the Hügelstraße in the west and to the Gießener Straße in the east. Internally, the settlement is accessible via several access roads and Adolf-Leweke-Straße. Numerous buildings can be reached via residential paths. In the first phase of construction there are only parking spaces on the streets, apart from a few garages. When the settlement was later expanded, parking spaces and underground garages were created between the high-rise buildings. There is a connection to public transport with the Sigmund-Freud-Straße tram station on line 5 .
Infrastructure
In terms of infrastructure, there are two daycare centers, shops as well as green and sports areas. The Eckenheimer Erdhügel day care center on the corner of Sigmund-Freud-Straße and Adolf-Leweke-Straße was built in 1994 according to plans by the architect Toyo Ito . In 2015 the Evangelical crèche Nazarethstern on Niederbornstrasse was completed. The Heinrich-Wilhelm-Römer-Anlage green corridor leads from Büdinger Straße in the south into the settlement.
