Gorbitz
Gorbitz is a district of Dresden in the local exchange area Cotta, in the western outskirts of the city of Dresden. Gorbitz is the largest development area of Dresden, but still much smaller than the large housing estates such as Grunau (Leipzig) or Halle- Neustadt.
Location
Gorbitz is located on a hillside with a considerable difference in altitude 213-130 m above sea level. NN. In the west it is bordered by eingemeindeten Altfranken and Gompitz, north of Omsewitz, people joke and Cotta. In the east, bordering the districts of Wölfnitz, Naußlitz and Loebtau, south of the district Roßthal and otherwise only the city of Freital.

In Gorbitz is the largest tram depot Dresden. Three tram lines open Gorbitz (2 Kleinzschachwitz - Gorbitz; 6 Gorbitz - Niedersedlitz, 7 Weixdorf - Pennrich ). In addition, the bus number 70 direction Pennrich which is easily accessible from Altgorbitz. Other bus and train lines are tangent Gorbitz.
The regional bus line 333 of the Regional Transport Dresden crosses Gorbitz on their way to Hetzdorf on boiler village and Wilsdruff.

Gorbitz
The site of Altgorbitz is characterized by narrow streets with old buildings and is one of the historic village centers in Dresden. From the development area Gorbitz it is separated by the boiler Straße and is therefore south of the large housing estate.
Altgorbitz arose from a Sorbian settlement. The village is in the valley of " Gorbitz Bach " which opens later in Cotta in Weißeritzstraße. It was divided into Upper and Lower Gorbitz that formed in 1921 two communities to the annexation to Dresden. Since the membership of Dresden is only spoken of (old) Gorbitz.
Upper Gorbitz carries through to the present, the typical form of the winder, while low Gorbitz called distributed space around the " Altgorbitz ", but through the valley is more like a village road.
The large settlement of New Gorbitz
After the Second World War, there were drastic changes in Gorbitz. Already in 1945 the first Dresdner radio studio was set up after the war in the former restaurant empire to Blacksmith at the Kesseldorfer road. For this, the DEFA Studio for Animated Films developed after 1955. The previous fields of the chamber property fell under the 1946 land reform, and from 1952 by the LPG " unit " (Low Gorbitz ) or LPG " Bergland " (Upper Gorbitz ) have been processed. The farm buildings in the village were now mostly used for commercial purposes, and often substantially rebuilt. Nevertheless, some remained monuments, especially at the Uthmannstraße, until today.
The Council decided that the city of Dresden in 1979 began the preparations for the construction of the largest Dresdner development area in the corridors of the former chamber property Gorbitz. The plans of the group of architects led by Jörg Bösche, Udo Fehr man and Wolfgang Henke envisaged a centralized axis with tram route, at which the public institutions should focus on. The residential buildings were staggered and arranged taking into account the slope, to provide a favorable view relations of the Elbe Valley. On August 21, 1981, the cornerstone was laid for the first phase of construction or residential complex on the Green restaurant later Heinrich. Already in early 1982 were the first newly built apartments to their future tenants are passed. Another milestone was the transfer of 100,000. built after 1945 in Dresden apartment on July 19, 1984 at the Wölfnitzer ring 96
The most visible and largest part of Gorbitz is therefore predominantly built with prefabricated housing that originated in the early 1980s. At the beginning of the 1990s, there were approximately 38,000 people, today it is much less. The net household income is well below the average, the social structure, however, is mixed relative thereto. In the upper layers of prefabricated buildings have now been demolished (for example, at the stop Schlehenstraße ) and strongly altered ( for example, immediately below the tram depot ) to a greater extent.
Under the auspices of the architects Latz & Böttcher and Grohmann & Kilian gaps and corners of existing buildings in New Gorbitz were built over with modern buildings and thereby enhanced the settlement from 1995 to 1997. So bib and Böttcher built on Wölfnitzer ring 2 in New Gorbitz a glass house that is committed with its plastic design and the transition between the open and closed wall surfaces of classical modernism. The residential and office high-rise at Tannenberger Route 44 in New Gorbitz was built by Ludger Kilian as a seven-storey cube with recessed attic in the style of classical modernism.
In herbal settlement individual inputs were completely demolished in long prefabricated blocks, other inputs are back built on three floors and remodeled the inside. The lower and middle layers were partially rehabilitated in 2005 was demolished in the second phase of construction and the school closed.
Gorbitz (also called residential complexes ) in four construction phases divided.
- Building phase one
- Construction phase two
- Construction stage three
- Construction stage four
Another planned fifth section was not implemented.
