history

Map of the residential area

Cecilienstraße runs in a west-east direction between Biesdorf and Hellersdorf . South of this traffic route, the construction of a hospital with around 400 beds was planned in 1975 , which should extend to the site of the Wilhelm-Griesinger-Hospital . This project was rejected again in 1979. After brief investment preparations, the 24.4 hectare residential area between the Blumberger Damm was built from 1981 to 1984 according to the plans of Dieter Schulze (urban development) and Maximilian Grattenthaler (design) , Cecilienstraße, Wuhletal, today's MEON industrial park and the hospital cemetery. It was the first eastern expansion with very little urban engineering and traffic development. The primary development costs were only 8,700  GDR marks per apartment, although this does not include the pro rata construction costs for the fourth tangent, today's Blumberger Damm.

In the residential area, 2581 apartments and 17 social institutions as well as a small adult education center were built . 662 apartments from the eleven-story WBS 70 series, 662 apartments from the ten- story QP 71 series and 550 apartments from the WBS 70 series with six floors. In addition, Thuringian construction companies built six-storey central aisle houses with 355 apartments from Gera . By 1983, over 84.4 percent of the apartments had been completed. A small social center with a single-storey department store in lightweight steel construction and a restaurant with 185 seats built by Hochbau Nordhausen was built between Wuhlestrasse and Garzauer Strasse and was converted after the political change : the shopping and service center was modernized and rebuilt, the former restaurant was replaced a conversion and extension expanded. The new hypermarket has an area of ​​1500 m² and a bakery shop, a textile shop and a bowling alley were built . Gastronomic facilities and medical practices should be located in the two-story extension.

Seven architects took part in a limited implementation competition organized by the State of Berlin, the district office and the Marzahn housing association for the ten-story residential building of the QP 71 series in Wuhlestrasse 17-19. This competition was an integrated development concept for Berlin-Marzahn and was funded by the Federal Ministry for Regional Planning, Building and Urban Development . The German architect Jens Freiberg, who lives in Paris, was awarded first prize for his competition proposal on February 19, 1993. His plans included the renovation of the three QP blocks in Wuhlestrasse with 324 apartments as well as the construction of an additional row of buildings with 45 apartments and seven commercial units with an area of ​​800 m². The project runs from the east to the prefabricated buildings and integrates the inner courtyards .

Realization began in 1993 and the first block of flats was completely renovated within four months. The apartment block received a new heat-insulating facade, new windows and loggias , all pipes and fittings were replaced. The renovation cost an average of 28,000  marks per apartment. The other QP blocks and the six- and eleven-story apartment blocks of the WBS series were modernized in the same way. The 150-meter-long four-story building with 45 apartments began in Wuhlestrasse in August 1995. These have two, three or four rooms, and there is a shop area on the ground floor of the new building. The buildings were completed in April 1997. In addition, all apartments have balconies or loggias and the top floor apartments have a terrace. The new buildings enclose inner courtyards with a green area, with paths, play and recreational areas and offer space for bicycles and household waste containers.

The Berlin-Brandenburg housing cooperative renovated the three QP apartment blocks along Cecilienstraße. The six-storey WBS building with 166 apartments was also completely renovated and the living environment was improved with funds from the Senate and the cooperative. The residential courtyard Cecilienstraße / Garzauer Straße with 2000 m² of play and lawn areas was redesigned: 30 trees, 1500 shrubs and climbing plants were planted and climbing castles with suspension bridges were built for a total of 650,000 marks (adjusted for purchasing power in today's currency: around 451,000 euros).

The school sports hall at Wuhlestrasse 18 was converted into a Kiez sports hall between September 2004 and October 2005 as part of the urban redevelopment east for 315,000  euros . In accordance with the fire protection regulations , the windows in the stairwell and in the sports hall have been retrofitted with smoke and heat extraction . In addition, the old parquet floor in the sports hall could be replaced by a new area-elastic sports floor, and the sports hall walls were equipped with impact protection. The renovation work also included the creation of a barrier-free access and the installation of new sanitary facilities. In the outdoor area of ​​the sports hall, new bicycle parking spaces, garbage disposal areas and a parking space for the disabled have been created. In April 2009, young people from Germany, Russia and France designed a belly band around the Kiezsporthalle with graffiti - as colorful as Europe . The neighboring house Pro-social in Blumberger Damm was responsible for the graffiti campaign .

In addition to the major renovations outlined above, further new buildings were realized in the Cecilienstraße residential area from 1996 onwards. Two- and three-story houses with barrel roofs were built here , which the district office evaluates as a model housing estate, which is also known internally as the Ringelnatz estate . In 2000 a second expansion began in the south of the area. The housing association (WBG) Marzahn built 63 terraced houses with condominiums on a plot of around 12,000 m² between Cecilienstraße, Joachim-Ringelnatz-Straße and an allotment garden .
