Geographical location

Pond in the city forest

The stadium district is around 2 km southwest of downtown Neuss. In the north it borders on the Furth, in the northwest on Morgensternsheide , in the west on Westfeld , in the south on Reuschenberg , in the southeast on Pomona and in the east on the Dreikönigenviertel . To the west, the stadium district is bounded by the north canal built in Napoleon's time . In statistics, Westfeld is often counted as part of the stadium district due to its small population. The districts of city center and port area , Furth- Mitte and Morgensternsheide as well as Hoisten and Speck / Wehl / Helpenstein are also combined. The Neuss city forest in the west extends over the stadium district, Westfeld and Morgensternsheide.

History and Buildings

Although Neuss is one of the oldest cities in Germany , the stadium district is still quite young. Settlement of the area of ​​today's stadium area began between the 19th century and the 1920s . Besides the St. Anna children's home, there were only a few residential buildings. Most of the region was green. Population growth became noticeable when houses were built for the Belgian occupiers after the First World War .

St. Anna children's home

St. Anna Children's Home (2012)

The St. Anna children's home was opened in October 1855 and is therefore one of the oldest facilities in the stadium district. At the end of 1886 the orphanage no longer had enough space, so the board of directors bought the Marienberg monastery and rebuilt it, which meant that there was additional space for 250 children. During the First World War, the facilities were used to care for wounded soldiers and remained one of the largest hospitals in Neuss for a long time . In 1933 the orphanage had 300 children and 50 nuns. During the Second World War , the entire basement was converted into an air raid shelter by installing ceilings and installing iron doors, walls and locks. In June 1943 about 200 children had to be evacuated to Bühl . Despite the evacuation, around 300 wounded soldiers and, at times, 1,400 homeless people were fed after air raids. The original operations were resumed around 1950 and large halls were converted into small furnished apartments. In 1965 it was decided to build the Konrad-Adenauer-Ring on the site of the children's home, which is now an important traffic junction in the stadium district. From 1973 construction work began on two-story domiciles where the children were to be accommodated. In 1978 the St. Anna children's home was finally demolished. In 1995 the building of the children's home was rebuilt in the style of modern architecture . Various Caritas and Kolping educational institutions can be found on the site , such as help for addicts, vocational training courses or job creation measures. The Kolping Educational Center is located on the site on which the St. Anna children's home used to be.

Jewish Cemetery

Jewish Cemetery

In 1887 the community acquired today's property on Glehner Weg for its cemetery, in the immediate vicinity of the municipal cemetery on Büttger Landstrasse (today Rheydter Strasse), which was laid out in 1873. The old burial place on Düsseldorfer Straße was closed in 1890 with the opening of the new cemetery and abandoned in 1920. The tombstones there were moved to Glehner Weg. The Jewish cemetery on Glehner Weg covers an area of ​​approximately 0.24 hectares. It is enclosed with a fence and partly a hedge; the entrance on Glehner Weg is formed by a two-leaf metal gate. A middle birch avenue leads into the depths of the rectangular property, on which 212 grave steles of different shapes from the period between 1845 and 1965 have been preserved. Since the cemetery is still occupied, there are also some younger graves. In the rear section, the oldest grave sites, which were transferred from the closed cemetery on Düsseldorfer Straße, are set up as a closed group. The names and inscriptions of the 212 steles are documented. These 212 steles form the historic core that is worth protecting.

As a testimony to Jewish life in Neuss and its eventful history, the Jewish cemetery on Glehner Weg is important for human history and for Neuss. There is a public interest in its preservation for scientific, local and cultural-historical reasons. In relation to the design of the tombstones and their inscriptions, there are also artistic aspects. The cemetery in its entirety forms a monument, with the historical gravestones as an essential constituent and worthy of protection component.

Notburgahaus

The Notburgahaus was completed at the end of 1908. It should be an educational institution for female school leavers. The facility had a capacity of 250 girls, but in the first few years there were around 400 girls, as the Notburgahaus association had committed itself to accepting girls who were difficult to educate. In 1921/22, the Notburgahaus was expanded by 160 additional spaces. During the Nazi era, a ward for the mentally ill with a severe form of anti-social personality disorder was also opened. In the Second World War the institution was finally used as a military hospital. After a large number of air raids, the Notburgahaus was completely in flames on September 10, 1942. It was finally opened as a hospital in 1945 before closing in 1959 due to a shortage of nurses. As a result of the closure, the building was converted into the Collegium Marianum of the Archdiocese of Cologne. The Collegium Marianum was a pre-seminary for spiritual professions. In 2006 this facility in Neuss was closed and relocated to Bonn. The archbishopric sold the building to the Neusser Bauverein , who had the building converted into condominiums. Only the chapel of the Marianum remained in its form and is now supported by the Friends and Sponsors of the Mack Chapel Marianum Neuss e. V. , whereby the Mack Chapel is still owned by the building association.

Camillian monastery

Camillian monastery (1919)

The Camillian Order was founded in 1582 as a religious community dedicated to nursing and pastoral care. In 1910, the construction of the Neuss Camillian monastery began on Glehner Weg, which was intended to be used for outpatient nursing and as a home for the elderly and the disabled. The architect Klaus Röhlinger designed the neo-baroque building. At the time of National Socialism, the Kamillianerkrankenhaus was converted into an asylum for the homeless before it was confiscated by the security service in 1943 . The adjoining monastery church was used by many as a stopover on the way to the main cemetery. On October 18 and November 27, 1944, the church and most of the monastery were completely destroyed by aerial bombs . The reconstruction of the monastery on the still intact foundations of the old house was not completed until the end of 1953. In 1992 the monastery was sold for economic reasons. Around 40 apartments were built in the buildings.

Lukas Hospital

The Lukaskrankenhaus, formerly the municipal hospital, was built between 1909 and 1911 and has been continuously expanded since then.

Jahnstadion

Jahnstadion

The Jahnstadion was built in 1924 and divides the stadium district into north and south with its large playing fields and facilities. In 1921, the Neuss city council originally decided to build today's Jahn Stadium on a large meadow on Hammer Landstrasse in the port area. However, the property commission wanted to protect the cultural landscape there and rejected the application. The Neuss horse racing track can be found on the aforementioned meadow today.

Construction work began in the spring of 1921, but the inflation caused financial difficulties, whereupon the state decreed so-called emergency work (in today's sense such as job creation measures ). This led to the 75,000 m² stadium facility being completed in 1924. The facility includes practice fields for soccer , handball , fistball , hockey and gymnastics . The running and cycling track is 500 meters long. In the meantime, the facility has been expanded to include an all-weather basketball court , for which the 1,000-seat multi-purpose grandstand was demolished. This is, among other things, the reason why the stadium district is considered the sporty district of Neuss . Today the stadium has 2,100 seats and 8,000 standing places. The facilities of the Jahnstadion were to be expanded to include a swimming stadium, but this did not happen.

The indoor and field hockey Bundesliga club Schwarz-Weiß Neuss as well as the multiple German tennis champion Blau-Weiss Neuss and amateur football club DJK Novesia are based in the Jahnstadion . A move by VfR Neuss from Hammer Landstrasse is still controversial.

Population development

Population development (1999-2011)

In 1999 the stadium district had about 9,800 inhabitants. In 2000 the value reached its high with 9,859 inhabitants. Until 2008 (except in 2005) a population decline was observed, the low of which was 9,575 inhabitants. Since then, a positive population development has been noticeable. In 2012, 9,777 inhabitants were counted. The decline in population can be explained on the one hand by the economic crisis from 2007 and on the other hand by the fact that the stadium district, together with the area around the sports harbor in Gnadental, is one of the most expensive residential areas in Neuss.

traffic

Road traffic

Car traffic can use the motorway feeder via Rheydter Straße to the A 57 , which runs north towards Krefeld and south towards Cologne . Via the A 57 there is a connection to the A 46 to Grevenbroich and Jüchen and to the A 52 to Mönchengladbach via Kaarst .

The spatial boundary of the stadium district is formed by the A 57 in the west, one in the east of the stadium district from north to south to Neuss central station and a railway line from east to west to the north and the donkey path bordering on Morgensternsheide . The northernmost residential area is the settlement on Klever Strasse .
