history

The area of ​​the Stöckacker district used to be forested. During his march on Bern in 1798, the French general Pigeon decided to quarter 6,000 men on the Bümplizfeld (today's Schwabgut / Tscharnergut) in a field camp. There was a great need for firewood and the invaders made use of the nearby forest, which was devastated and largely cut down. The Stöckwald should then be reforested (after the burger wood community Bümpliz) or a parade ground ("Trüllplatz") (after the political community Bümpliz). In 1826 the unauthorized clearing was subsequently approved. With the non-reforestation, the community of Bümpliz also pursued the goal of having a residential reserve in Stöckacker. In 1882 the former Stöckwald was parceled out and sold to 28 “burgers and corporation members”. Although a clause stipulated that no building would be constructed at any time and under any circumstances, construction was carried out and the Stöckacker was then "the typical working-class district of Bümpliz". Since the residents mainly worked in Bern and, according to the law of the time, paid their taxes there, but they sent their children to schools in the Bümpliz community, this became an increasing financial burden for Bümpliz. This was one of the reasons why the negotiations on incorporation into Bern were accelerated, but Bern initially had little interest in taking over the bankrupt municipality of Bümpliz and instead granted loans. The incorporation was then on 5./6. October 1918 decided at the ballot box. Bern approved the merger with 7559 yes to 2901 no, Bümpliz with 631 yes to 17 no. The settlement of the Stöckacker with its consequences contributed significantly to the merger.

Due to the housing shortage during and after World War II , the municipal building authorities, together with the Society for the Promotion of Housing Construction for Administrative Employees, built the first Stöckacker urban multi-family housing estate in Berne from 1944 to 1946. Architects were Walter Haemmig and M. & O. Lutstorf. Shortly afterwards, the Meienegg settlement was built between 1949 and 1955. Hans and Gret Reinhard were the architects, the client was the family building cooperative. It was the first purely cooperatively organized multi-family house development in Bern and, from a socio-historical point of view, groundbreaking.

Since the low building density could not meet today's housing needs, part of the apartment buildings in the south were demolished and the Stöckacker Süd project was implemented on the site of the first Stöckacker estate. Planning began in 2008. The “Regina” project by Zurich-based offices Michael Meier and Markus Hug Architects and Armon Semadeni Architects ETH prevailed among 35 projects. Three angled houses, each with four floors, offer a total of 146 apartments of different types (apartment buildings, senior citizens' apartments, town houses).

Further densification is planned in the north, where the Meienegg settlement is to be partially replaced by a new development. One challenge is that the settlement is classified as “worth preserving” in the inventory of the municipal monument preservation. The balance of interests shows that two thirds to three quarters can be developed, transformed and redensified, the remainder should be retained for the time being. A project competition began in summer 2019, and construction is not expected to start until 2023 at the earliest.

culture and education

In August 2018, the first full-day school in the city of Bern with two classes went into operation in the Stöckacker school building. This type of school is determined by seven elements: school lessons, school-related offers in leisure time, the rhythm of the daily routine through a stronger connection between teaching and supervision, adapted rooms, specifications for the teaching and supervisory staff, catering and cooperation between all-day schools in the neighborhood. The school belongs to the Schwabgut school location, the Stöckcker elementary school is to be completely renovated and expanded in the coming years.

The StöckTreff is a meeting point for all generations and various leisure activities. The Becanto cultural bar , which opened in August 2018, is intended to become a place of community and encounter and form the social center of the quarter. There is an allotment garden in the east in front of the industrial site of the ewb.

Craft and industry

The largest company based in Stöckacker is Energie Wasser Bern (ewb), the electricity, water, natural gas, waste recycling and heat supply company for the city of Bern. In addition, there are some smaller companies and craft businesses.
