✅ ✅ MODELS PROJECTS: The state capital Erfurt has applied for the development of exemplary, integrated modernization and adaptation strategies at the district level and, in addition to six other cities, has been included in the special programme "Model Projects for the Further Development of Urban Development Funding" launched by the Federal Government. The project is financed jointly by the federal government, the state and the city. The core objectives of the pilot project are to connect the large housing estates of the south-east of Erfurt in a spatial-functional and ideal way, as well as to appreciably enhance the public spaces and interconnected areas, especially in central areas of the south-east, and thus initiate an identity-creating image change. A "NEW MIDDLE SOUTH": The "Neue Mitte" project aims to redesign the central urban spaces at the "Wiesenhügel junction" and its surroundings. This powerful impetus is intended to herald the development described above and pave the way for future, further public measures as well as private commitment and investment. The aim is to remedy the following shortcomings. Īίίίη SITUATION: The south-east of Erfurt is characterized by the three separate industrial settlements Herrenberg, Wiesenhügel and Drosselberg, which were built in the 1970s to 1980s. The transition areas between these four districts are largely unmanageable in terms of planning and space, often blocked, sealed off by inhospitable roads, characterized by extensive fallow and residual areas without social control and extremely unattractive. The large settlements, which were built on hills, show complex social problems and conflicts between different population groups despite extensive structural refurbishment measures on the building stock. Due to their introverted urban development and development, the topographical framework conditions, and significantly reinforced by the social segregation that took place in the 1990s, the large settlements are characterized by massive islandization tendencies and segregation phenomena. PROCESS: As a result of an urban planning competition, the city of Erfurt and the winner of the competition are developing an urban planning framework as a holistic development perspective for the approximately 25 hectares of urban space with a perspective up to the year 2060. For a first construction phase using the funding of the model project, a concrete implementation concept for the central area of about 6 hectares is to be developed, planned and implemented in the competitive dialogue and the subsequent planning. Central findings and planning approaches of the competition contribution and the ongoing framework planning are to be further developed. The object of this impetus measure and the present task in the competitive dialogue are the transformation of the central transport facilities at the "meadow hill junction" and the adjoining public spaces. Another design element of the Neue Mitte is the "Höhenweg", which is to be designed to shape the cityscape with regard to its potential for identity formation, for quality of stay and access functions. A "city square" with the central tram stop is to be worked out as a place of arrival and connection and also as an identity creator in the district. In order to connect the settlements with each other, a structural-spatial concept must be found that links the three given height levels by restoring the valley between the hills as a central and connecting urban space. The Kranichfelder Straße - Haarbergstraße road with the Rottenbacher Weg, Dornheimstraße, Am Wiesenhügel and Schulzenweg/Am Sibichen branches is to be fundamentally redesigned and redesigned over a length of approximately 900 m. ̈RENDERABLE RESOURCES: The city of Erfurt is looking for feasible, economical solutions for the described task. A total of approximately EUR 26 million is available for the redesign of the "Neue Mitte". The city of Erfurt plans to complete the construction work by 2031.
