|| MODELS: 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 promotion" launched by the federal government. The project is financed jointly by the federal government, the state and the city. The core goals of the model project are to connect the large housing estates of the south-east of Erfurt with each other spatially and functionally, as well as to appreciably enhance the public spaces and linking areas, especially in central areas of the south-east, and thus initiate an identity-creating image change. || A "NEW MIDDLE SOUTH EAST": The project "Neue Mitte" aims to redesign the central urban spaces at the "Tunnel Wiesenhügel" and its surroundings. This powerful impulse is intended to usher in 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 grievances. || SITUATION: The southeast of Erfurt is characterized by the three separate large settlements Herrenberg, Wiesenhügel and Drosselberg, which were built in industrial construction between the 1970s and 1980s. The transition areas between these four districts are largely unmanaged in terms of planning and space, often blocked, sealed off by inhospitable traffic roads, characterized by extensive waste and residual areas without social control and extremely unattractive. The large settlements, which were built on hills, have 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 islanding tendencies and segregation phenomena. || PROCESS: As a result of an urban planning competition, the city of Erfurt is working with the winner of the competition to develop an urban planning framework as a holistic development perspective for the approximately 25-hectare urban area 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, approximately 6 ha area is to be developed, planned and implemented in the competitive dialogue and subsequent planning. Key findings and planning approaches of the competition contribution and the ongoing framework planning are to be further developed. || SUBJECT OF this impulse measure and the present task in the competitive dialogue are the redesign of the central transport facilities at the "Wiesenhügel branch" and the adjacent public spaces. Another design element of the Neue Mitte is the "Höhenweg", which is to be shaped in terms of its potential for identity formation, for quality of stay and development functions. A "city square" with the central tram stop is to be worked out as a place of arrival and connection and also as a source of identity in the district. In order to connect the settlements with each other, a structural-spatial concept must be found that interconnects the three given height levels by restoring the valley between the hills as a central and connecting urban space. The road section Kranichfelder Straße - Haarbergstraße with the junctions Rottenbacher Weg, Dornheimstraße, Am Wiesenhügel and Schulzenweg/Am Sibichen is to be fundamentally redesigned and redesigned over a length of about 900 m. || 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 "New Centre". The city of Erfurt plans to complete the construction work by 2031.
