Winzerla is a district in the southwest of the independent city of Jena in Thuringia .
Location and surroundings
Winzerla is located between the southern suburb of Jenas, with which Winzerla is connected by the Ernst Abbe settlement in the north, consisting of numerous row houses, the Burgau district in the east and the Göschwitz district in the south.
To the southwest, beyond the old town center, one reaches the Trießnitz conservation area , which is characterized by deciduous forests and dominated by allotment gardens . Hikers come from the Trießnitz, past other allotment gardens, over an ascent of about 270 meters to the Mönchsberg plateau (formerly "Rotheberg") (399 m above sea level ). A hiking trail leads to the highest point in Jena's immediate vicinity (422 m above sea level).
In a westerly direction, the Winzerlas profile is subject to a constant slight increase: the 6-storey residential buildings are being replaced by single-family houses, garages and allotment gardens, including the Im Hahnengrund residential area . To the west of the built-up zone, one reaches the wooded zone on the slope of the Ammerbacher Platte via undeveloped, partly agricultural areas (including pasture land) .
To the northwest of Winzerla lies the small district of Ammerbach on the water of the same name, whose village character has been completely preserved. By the place the narrow leads L 2308 , which further Bucharest leads, for cars before the completion of Jagdberg tunnel a popular alternative route for traffic jams on the A 4 .
history
Winzerla was first mentioned in a document in 1325. In addition to viticulture - from which the name of the village can be traced back - hops were also grown here for the brewers in Jena and later in Winzerla itself. The oldest tradition from court owners comes from the period 1421–1425.
In 1922, despite resistance, it was incorporated into Jena.
During an American air raid on the Göschwitz railway junction on March 19, 1945, bombs also hit the neighboring Winzerla, killing 19 residents there. On April 11, 1945, American fighter-bombers destroyed a German flak position in the Winzerlaer Flur on Osmaritzer Strasse. Six soldiers who were given individual graves that no longer existed in the local cemetery on Oßmaritzer Strasse were killed. The Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge , however, placed a memorial to the fallen after the fall of the Wall .
The general growth of Jena and its industry also had an impact on Winzerla. After the Carl-Zeiss-Werke in Jena gained a foothold, the foundation stone for the Jena- Süd thermal power station was laid in 1967 . The growing need for living space due to the growth of VEB Carl Zeiss Jena led to the construction of 5,500 new apartments from 1970 and as a second construction phase from 1980. In 2006 around 11,200 people lived in this roughly five square kilometer district.
Newer development
Structural changes
In the winter of 2007/08, the space below the savings bank building was redesigned. The work was completed in May 2008. At the end of the previously existing approximately 300 m long water channel in west-east direction, a terrace was built with wide staircases and benches that invite you to sit down. Behind the terrace, the water ran out of the channel over a cascade-like construction into the basin of the already existing fountain with a rafting figure. The well has been enlarged and holds approximately 74 cubic meters of water at a depth of approximately 30 cm.
National Socialist Underground
At the end of 2011, Winzerla became known nationwide as the place where the neo-Nazis Uwe Böhnhardt , Uwe Mundlos and Beate Zschäpe met in the early 1990s in the Winzerclub (today "Hugo") , who later committed nine xenophobic murders as the right-wing extremist terrorist group National Socialist Underground Police officer murder from Heilbronn shot police officer Michèle Kiesewetter. Mundlos and Zschäpe came straight from Winzerla.
On June 18, 2000, the neo-Nazi and later NPD functionary Ralf Wohlleben was elected to the local council of Jena-Winzerla with 111 votes, where he was responsible for the youth sector until the end of 2002. Wohlleben is suspected of having supported the NSU terrorists and was sentenced to ten years in prison for aiding and abetting murder in 2018. Since an appeal has been filed, the judgment is not yet final (as of July 2018).
By resolution of the culture committee on March 6, 2020, the square above the Damaschkeweg tram stop was named Enver-Simsek-Platz . The florist was the first victim of the NSU terror group.
structure
Winzerla is divided into the old village center around the church , a residential area in prefabricated construction ( prefabricated buildings , 5-storey apartment blocks), built from 1970, and a residential area in prefabricated construction with 6-storey apartment blocks, built from 1980 this connects to the residential area Hahnengrund (district Ammerbach), which was built on from 2000. Since the mid-1990s, some apartment blocks have been modernized and their facades have been colored.
economy
In Winzerla there are two shopping centers (WIN-Center, Columbus-Center), two youth clubs and various educational institutions (a high school, a community school and two elementary schools). There are also two hotels and two retirement homes. In the old town center there is also a church and a cemetery.
On the side of Bundesstraße 88 opposite the residential area there is a small industrial area, including the Jena- Süd thermal power station , an administration building for Thuringian Energy , the main building for Stadtwerke Energie Jena-Pößneck , the GalaxSea leisure pool , a sports center and a laundry.
The most striking building in Winzerla is the Jena- Süd thermal power station, with its 225 m (under construction from 2019) and 185 m high chimneys, which have been shut down since the switch from coal to natural gas in 1996. The power plant with an output of 199 MW el produces electrical energy that is provided for the E.ON network in Thuringia and supplies the Jena urban area with district heating and hot water (225 MW th ).
