The residential area I is a residential area in the Berlin district of Marzahn in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district . It is bounded by Märkische Allee , the Marzahn settlement area on what will later be Poelchaustraße, the Biesdorf-Nord location in the east and the Biesdorfer Kreuz .
history
The area previously used for agriculture has an area of 86.7 hectares and was technically undeveloped. Between 1976 and 1985 the first residential area was built on former agricultural land based on urban planning concepts by Peter Schweizer, Heinz Graffunder , Thorleif Neuer, Jörg Piesel and Dieter Schulze, as well as based on the designs by Edith Diehl, Joachim Felke and Wolf-R. Verbena . For this residential area, numerous experts developed an art design concept , including Rolf Walter, Lutz Brandt , Peter Hoppe and Ingeborg Hunzinger .
The workers of the civil engineering combine in Berlin began on April 11, 1977 with the digging of an excavation pit . On July 8, 1977, the Peter Zeises assembly brigade from VEB Housing Combine in Berlin installed the first panel for the QP 71 house in today's Marchwitzastraße 35-45. Exactly two months later, on September 2, 1977, the topping-out ceremony could be celebrated. The first tenants moved into their apartments around 14 weeks later, on December 18th.
On October 24, 1979, the Marzahn District Office inaugurated a stele created by the sculptor Alfred Bernau in the form of a stylized topping-out crown , reminiscent of the first residential buildings in Marzahn, on the Allee der Kosmonauten at the corner of Marchwitzastraße . The figure cut out of the adjacent concrete wall symbolizes the building brigadier Peter Zeise at the sign to pull up the first building board; The judgment is given in an inscription. The first newly born children in the residential area were the twins Constance and Christian Hämmerling, who were born on March 13, 1978 in the Kaulsdorf Hospital . On July 6, 1978, the Großkopf family was able to move into their 1,000th apartment at Luise-Zietz-Straße 129, which was also the one millionth completed apartment in the GDR since the start of the housing program in 1971 .
The first was in the Marchwitzastraße already April 28, 1977. Consumer - department store opened for the construction workers supply. It was created according to plans by Roland Steiger. At the end of 1977 the first Neumarzahner could shop here; It is still in operation today (as of August 2017) as a Rewe supermarket. The first club restaurant Biesdorfer Kreuz opened on February 24, 1978.
The large panels used for the construction of houses came from the first plant that belonged to the housing combine in the main street on the Rummelsburger Bucht . The aggregates , such as cement , were brought in by water , the finished components were transported around the clock to the large construction site from Grünauer Strasse in Köpenick and from Rummelsburger Hauptstrasse. In 1977, the GDR had started up further plate production facilities that had been imported from Finland : in Falkenberger Strasse in Hohenschönhausen and in October 1980 in Vogelsdorf . From now on, the prefabricated panels came from there.
A total of 8,665 apartments were built in the residential area by the end of 1985, including 3,460 apartments of the type WBS 70 , eleven-storey, 2574 apartments of the QP 71 series, ten-storey, 1032 apartments of the SK high-rise series , 22 and 25-storey, 864 apartments of the WHH series , 18-, 21- and 25-storey as well as 735 apartments WBS 70, five-storey.
In the first year of construction, 1977, 243 apartments were built, one year later the number of completed apartments rose to 4089. Within just three years, 85.8 percent of all planned apartments in the first residential area were completed.
The very first apartments in Marchwitzastraße initially served as a location for construction management and the German People's Police , but this did not change later. Only after the political change , the rooms were cleared under pressure from the population and then used again as apartments.
In the senior citizens' home on Murtzaner Ring 68, which was completed in 1979, employment office VIII was housed after 1990 . The two other nursing homes in Märkische Allee 68 are currently being used as Kursana Seriorenzentrum and the senior citizens' home in Ketschendorfer Weg 33 is still used by the German Red Cross . At the corner of Poelchaustraße and Murtzaner Ring, a department store and a restaurant were built between 1978 and 1979, and a service center with dry cleaning, a hairdressing salon, a post office, a youth club and a flower shop at Murtzaner Ring 71. The Springpfuhlpark was created in 1976 and 1979 and was redesigned between 2005 and 2014.
Between 1981 and 1986 it was built according to plans by Heinz Graffunders and the project engineers Wolf-R. Eisentraut, Michael Kny, Wolfgang Ortmann and others the Helene-Weigel-Platz with a polyclinic , now the Ernst-Ludwig-Heim health center , the Helmut Behrendt swimming pool , the Soyuz cinema , the Marzahn town hall and a department store .
The newly founded housing association Marzahn mbH and other housing associations - u. a. First Marzahn housing association , housing co-DPF (emerged from the AWG German Post , since 1963 AWG German-Polish friendship Deutsche Post [DPF]) and Fortuna - the entire plate housing stock took over after the fall. This was followed by improvements in the living environment, a full renovation with gutting and partial renovations of their buildings.
In 1994 and 1995, the Park-Arkaden was built east of Springpfuhl Park, planned by Günther Zeiss on behalf of DDC Planning, Development and Management. There was space for 23 shops on 5000 m²; the construction costs amounted to 20 million marks . The shopping mall was opened on July 19, 1995 . This was the first shopping center in Marzahn after reunification. When the Penny supermarket moved out in 2011, however, a decline set in, which came to a temporary end in the summer of 2015 when the last Passagen tenant moved out. The future of the property is unclear.
