Lindenhof residential area
The Lindenhof residential area is a residential development that began in 2016, including the listed buildings of the former Lindenhof Clinic for Children and Adolescent Medicine on the seven-hectare site . The clinic again emerged from the Lindenhof boys' workhouse at the same location. The residential area should be completed by the end of 2020.
history
Construction and first use as an educational institution for boys
Towards the end of the 19th century, the community of Lichtenberg owned the “ Rummelsburg work house ”, a building in which neglected boys who had become criminals were housed and educated. With the rapid increase in the residential population of the up-and-coming industrial location, crime also increased rapidly and the workhouse was soon overcrowded. In this situation, the municipal administration commissioned the town planning officer Hermann Blankenstein , who had already built a number of hospitals and factories, with the planning of a boys' education center. This was to be built on the site of the former manor that was left over when the KEH was built. On June 10, 1896 , the new home was opened for 200 inmates. The inhabitants of the community soon shortened the cumbersome name of the forced educational institution in Lichtenberg to “Die Lichte”. During this time, the main means of re-education were military drill combined with practical work. The abolition of the German Empire led to a rethink in education, a humanistic-progressive pedagogy replaced the Prussian drill. At the same time, the institution was given the new name Lindenhof . Margarete Buber-Neumann notes in her memoir:
“The experiment of the» Lindenhof «was well known to me, as it was back then, to everyone, laypeople and experts, in Germany and abroad, who were interested in pedagogical problems. Karl Wilker belonged to the forefront of the German reformers after the First World War. In 1917 he had taken over the badly reputed "Lichte", a compulsory educational institution based on the strictest Prussian model, with the intention of completely transforming it into a modern institute with enlightened reform methods. This intention was not limited to giving the institution a new name, baptizing it "Lindenhof," but rather Wilker attempted to radically change the tone of communication with the pupils. Before he took over the "light", the imprisoned children and young people had been treated like adult criminals. They were not considered to be re-educated, but kept like convicts. Beatings and tortures were the order of the day. In Wilker's time you could still see the whipping cell, the walls of which were splattered with blood. Now it was just a daunting sight. For the most part, up to 1917, the "educators" in this institution were former professional soldiers, so-called twelve-donors, who had been accepted into the civil service after their service was over. Even Wilker was unable to remove these flayers completely from the "Lindenhof". When he took office he was only able to get the city authorities to which the "Lindenhof" was subordinate to allow him to fill half of the educator posts at his own discretion. "
In 1941, the National Socialists relocated the educational institution outside the Berlin city limits to Struveshof near Ludwigsfelde . The children's wards from the Oskar Ziethen Hospital moved into the Lindenhof building . A bomb hit at the end of the Second World War resulted in major building damage. The 120 children at the time received further treatment and were able to see the end of the war here.

In April 1945 the Wehrmacht should be stationed on the site to stop the advancing Red Army . The director prevented this and instead raised a white flag . After the first unit of the Soviet troops arrived, food was immediately delivered for the children and even three cows with fodder were provided to ensure the milk supply; a Red Army soldier was assigned to milk.
On September 24, 1946, the Soviet city commander Kotikow ordered the development of this medical facility into the "largest children's hospital in the Soviet sector" .
In the period from 1947 to 1951, all war damage was removed and additional buildings were erected on the site. The Lindenhof Children's Hospital (KKL) now offered treatment options for 284 young patients in nine different wards. In the years up to 1989 the building was continuously expanded, combined with better and better medical treatment and diagnostics. The facility became administratively independent, but continued to work closely with the Oskar Ziethen Hospital (OZK).
In the 1980s, the children's clinic was the largest facility of its kind in (East) Berlin. In two specialist outpatient clinics and eleven wards, children and adolescents from the former districts of Lichtenberg, Köpenick , Marzahn and Hellersdorf received medical care.

After the reunification , the polyclinic closed at the end of December 1991 and the KKL merged again with the OZK in 1992 . Instead of the outpatient clinic, a social-pedagogical center (SPZ; social pediatrics for short ) was established, whose specialists treat children and adolescents from 0 to 18 years with persistent developmental disorders and / or disabilities on an outpatient basis. When the hospital was privatized by the Sana group, the Lindenhof was transferred to the Sana Clinic as a children's department. When the expansion of the OZK at the main site began in 2002, those responsible for the district had thought about giving up the Lindenhof site, which was initially rejected. The facility employed around 250 people and was now called the “Lindenhof Clinic for Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine at the Sana Clinic Lichtenberg” . 110 beds, a separate day clinic, a children's rescue center and numerous special medical departments were also included. From July 2005, the clinic had a certified sleep laboratory for children. At the beginning of March 2009, at the request of BVV Lichtenberg, the Berlin Senate decided on an urban redevelopment area that also includes the Lindenhof site.
Relocation of the children's hospital in 2012
After completion of the building on the OZK site (investment sum 25 million euros), the children's facility was moved to Fanningerstrasse between March and May 2012. There the facility was integrated into a newly opened parent-child center with a festive event on May 10, 2012 .
In connection with this, the BVG discontinued its special bus line as a feeder to the children's hospital. However, this was also used by many residents and visitors to the central cemetery , which in the summer of 2012 led to numerous protests and demands for the facility to be restarted.
In 2001 the children's hospital held an open day to which representatives of the DRK , civil defense and THW were invited. On the open-air site, the young visitors were able to get to know the working methods of the aid organizations and the rescue technology.
The open day in 2012 was also the end of the facilities at the old location.

Lindenhof as a residential area
Renovation and new building plans
The entire site of the former children's clinic on Gotlindestraße was sold to the Howoge housing association in 2012 . This commissioned architects and the landscape planner Grünplanung Oehm & Herlan ( Nuremberg ) with the detailed planning work.
The first plans that came to light provided that 410 low- barrier rental apartments would be installed in the historic buildings from spring 2016 . Additional five- to six-story buildings on the site are to lead to additional residential units.
The groundbreaking ceremony for construction work on the site took place on September 5, 2016 . The new residential area should be completed in December 2018. The historic porter's house on Gotlindestraße and the former guest house on the hospital grounds were demolished for construction to begin on schedule.
realization
Due to further planning work, requirements and changes in responsibilities, the Lindenhof residential area , as it is now officially called, was not completed in 2018. The official start of construction took place in January 2017. Construction will be carried out by Ed. Züblin AG , terraplan Baudenkmalsanierungs-Gesellschaft mbH from Nuremberg acts as the building owner on behalf of Howoge , further subcontractors were brought in.
The topping-out ceremony for the first six-storey new building block in U-shape, located in the northwest of the area, took place on May 30, 2018. The first tenants moved in in late autumn 2018. For the traffic-related development of the area, earlier nameless access roads have been expanded and connected with each other. The street leading to the area, as an extension of Kriemhildstraße, has been called Klara-Weyl-Straße since 2017 , from which the street Im Lindenhof goes in a U-shape eastwards , which surrounds all the historic hospital buildings.
description
The seven new buildings are divided into three subject areas: Birkenhof , Kirschenhof and Eichenhof and include different types of apartments and buildings. Depending on the topic, there is an individual greening and the residents are offered spaces for rest and relaxation but also for activities. The accommodations are suitable for all age groups as they range from one to five-room apartments. Around a quarter of all apartments are subsidized living space in accordance with the district requirements and can therefore only be rented on presentation of a residential reference slip .
All historically preserved buildings of the hospital that are under monument protection form the Lindenhof themed area . Condominiums are planned in the former main building and should be ready for occupancy in the first quarter of 2019 according to planning. However, following the status of the work (mid-February 2019), meeting the deadlines seems hardly possible: new supply lines and new partition walls are currently being installed inside. The previous four individual buildings, which served as commercial or functional buildings for the hospital, are also being refurbished in accordance with historical monuments and adapted to the living situation. Most of the facade renovations have already been carried out here.
In addition to the construction of the rental houses, a day-care center with around 70 places is being built
architecture
Historic Buildings
The architect Herrmann Blankenstein designed two- and three-storey buildings made of yellow and red clinker facades with hipped roofs. He used a few sparse decorative elements such as a medium risalit with a column portal, a neo-Gothic clock tower (on the courtyard side) and reliefs that symbolize activities learned by the boys here. The houses form a U-shaped cohesive development grouped around a larger courtyard. After the war damage had been repaired, the clock tower on the main house was not put back on. For this purpose, extensions and, in some cases, floor elevations were made, which were designed with plaster in a matching color. The main entrance was relocated to the former rear and thus enabled fast access by ambulance.
A low-rise building served as a porter's house, commercial buildings such as a laundry, a kitchen, a heating plant, and an administration building completed the facility; they were located at a structural distance from the main building.
The exterior views of the historical buildings will remain in their original form after the conversion.
Buildings on the site in the 2010s
In addition to the architects raumwandler.de, the architects Max Dudler and KSP Jürgen Engel were involved in the new construction and renovation plans.
All residential buildings have been built in concrete shell construction in energy-saving mode and plastered. They vary from four to six floors, with the top floor being set back across from the building. The arrangement of all buildings in the three subject areas is based on a U-shape, but is also interrupted and continued with individual buildings. This creates a very relaxed design that opens up to nature. Environmentally friendly and low-emission products such as certified wood were used, and two block-type thermal power stations supply the building complex with heating, hot water and inexpensive electricity for the tenants.
Award
The HOWOGE as owner received in 2019 for the design of Neubgauteils of the living quarters, the quality seal of the Association NaWoh . The above-mentioned association has been awarding this award since 2012 and it has been recognized by the Federal Building Ministry since 2016 . For the award, it was taken into account that all 585 newly built apartments on the site are barrier-free , that there are offers for senior-friendly living as well as the availability of a day-care center . In addition, the park and inner courtyards are designed with green areas and play areas, which also serve as infiltration areas for rainwater.
