Location of the Tannenbusch district in the Bonn district

Tannenbusch is a district of the federal city of Bonn in the district of the same name with around 16,000 inhabitants. It is divided into the settlement areas of Alt-Tannenbusch and Neu-Tannenbusch .

Old fir bush

The dune (Alt-Tannenbusch)

Tannenbusch is a settlement on the north-western outskirts of Bonn, which was built in three periods. After the Schützenhof, the "Vogelsiedlung" and the HICOG settlement on Im Tannenbusch were built after the Second World War . Alt-Tannenbusch is grouped around an inland dune ( Düne Tannenbusch ), which is designated as a nature reserve and is hardly recognizable due to the dense vegetation. A colony of ringed parakeets living in the wild is one of the inhabitants of the dune .

About 6000 people live in Alt-Tannenbusch. The central shopping point is Paulusplatz. The eponymous Catholic Church of St. Paul, which is part of a parish association made up of the parishes of Alt- and Neu-Tannenbusch, Dransdorf , Lessenich , Buschdorf , Auerberg , Graurheindorf and (outer) Nordstadt, is also located here. A few meters to the west, on Lievelingsweg, is the Evangelical Apostle Church. The community includes Alt-, Neu-Tannenbusch and Dransdorf.

Geographical location

Neu-Tannenbusch is delimited in the north by the federal highway 555 and in the south by the Bonn-Cologne railway line. The area extends west to the border of the neighboring communities Alfter and Roisdorf and extends in the east to Schlesienstrasse.

Settlement history

Neu-Tannenbusch is a large-scale housing estate built according to the plan , which was built in the early 1970s as a reaction to the housing shortage prevailing at the time.

The settlement followed the ideal of "modern living" at the time. There are distinct living areas with dense buildings (apartment buildings), wide, car-friendly streets with plenty of parking spaces and a central waste extraction system , which, however, had to struggle with considerable technical problems from the start and has since been dismantled. There is also a large area with terraced houses and green spaces.

For the construction of Neu-Tannenbusch, the route of the Rheinuferbahn was relocated over several kilometers and led through the new settlement in one incision. Today the Bonn light rail lines 63 and 16 run there . The streets in Neu-Tannenbusch are almost exclusively named after places and landscapes in the former German eastern areas and the former GDR (e.g. Schlesienstrasse, Oppelner Strasse, Westpreußenstrasse).

Plaza in front of the Tannenbusch Center

The Tannenbusch Center, which is located at the Tannenbusch Mitte train station, is viewed as an economic center as well as a social meeting point. In addition to supermarkets and various international restaurants, the Tannenbusch Center also has a district library.

Social demographic characteristics

Neu-Tannenbusch has 10,498 inhabitants (as of 2019). 60.6% of the residents of Neu-Tannenbusch are immigrants (dual nationals (Germans with additional citizenship) and foreigners). In the city of Bonn, the proportion of immigrants is 29.3%. Neu-Tannenbusch also differs from the average for the city of Bonn in terms of age structure. With an average age of 36.1 years, Neu-Tannenbusch is a young district with many children (Federal City of Bonn average 42.5 years). In 2014, the unemployment rate in Neu-Tannenbusch / Buschdorf was 13.3%, well above the unemployment rate in the city of Bonn with 7.0%. On the basis of the statistical data presented, it can be determined that the Neu-Tannenbusch area deviates significantly from the city-wide average in terms of social indicators such as the proportion of immigrants, the proportion of unemployed and the age structure.

Challenges of the district

The social demographic characteristics of the district make it clear that Neu-Tannenbusch has to struggle more with tasks of integration, education and employment than other districts. This results in a "considerable need for social action". In addition, Neu-Tannenbusch is also characterized by renovation and modernization needs in the residential buildings. This fact is one of the reasons why the district is afflicted with a negative image, which leads, for example, to Neu-Tannenbusch residents being stigmatized because of their place of residence.

Neu-Tannenbusch is described as a social hot spot in the media . In addition, parallels to the Brussels district of Molenbeek are drawn.

The "social city" program

The Socially Integrative City program is an urban development grant from the federal and state governments and was initiated in 1999. The focus of the program is on districts with special development needs. According to § 171e of the BauGB, districts with special development needs have urban planning and infrastructural problems. There is a special need for development when the neighborhood "shows a statistical deviation from the city-wide average". The program differs from other urban development programs in that the quarter is not understood as a geographic area, but as a social area. The participation of the residents is a central instrument for upgrading disadvantaged neighborhoods. The residents should participate to a much greater extent than is the case with formal participation procedures. In order to activate citizens to participate in participation offers, a neighborhood management is set up. The district management acts as an intermediary between the residents and the city administration and is intended to promote interdisciplinary cooperation and networking between the actors.

Structural upgrading of the Giant Mountains Road

Bonn Neu-Tannenbusch was accepted into the Socially Integrative City program at the end of 2009 . The integrated action plan for Neu-Tannenbusch serves as a guide for extensive measures, including in the areas of structural upgrading, education and employment, as well as active neighborhoods. As part of the integrated action plan, five fields of action were worked out for Neu-Tannenbusch, which should improve living conditions in the district in the long term after implementation:

• Field of action A: Sustainable renovation strategy for residential buildings - healthy and sustainable living
• Field of action B: Places for communication and action - experience and relaxation, nature, art and culture
• Field of activity C: Second chance - education and employment in the district
• Field of activity D: Future perspective of life in Neu-Tannenbusch - Holistic family work
• Field of action E: District management - New image and active neighborhoods

House Vielinbusch in Neu-Tannenbusch

Since then, many construction projects have already been carried out with the help of the funding. These include the upgrading of numerous house facades, children's playgrounds and the space in front of the Tannenbusch Center. The establishment of participatory structures was promoted with projects such as the children's and youth sports festival (2012 and 2013) and the organization of eight fir-bush forums between 2013 and 2016. Another district management project is the district fund. Through the project of the district fund, residents are activated and enabled to implement their own ideas for the district. This is done with the help of financial support from public funds. The opening of the family and education center "Haus Vielinbusch" is seen as another success story of the district. This was set up by residents of the district with the support of the district management and has been providing a variety of advice and leisure activities since 2017.

Until the end of 2017, the neighborhood work in Neu-Tannenbusch was part of the Social City funding program and was carried out by the Dortmund Office for Architecture and Urban Development (BASTA). The Neu-Tannenbusch neighborhood management , which will continue to be represented by BASTA, has been part of the systematic neighborhood management of the city of Bonn since 2018 . With this structural change, responsibility changes from the City Planning Office to the Office for Social Affairs and Housing of the City of Bonn. The previous activities and projects of the Neu-Tannenbusch neighborhood management will be retained.

In 2019 it was decided to update the integrated action plan for Neu-Tannenbusch. The future focus will be on social measures. Projects in the areas of integration, employment, education, the fight against poverty and health education are developed and implemented.
