History

1891, the city acquired by the University of Freiburg, a 500 -acre wooded estate in the west of the city to create sewage to the waste water from the irrigator to over 50,000 residents grown city. After the end of National Socialism could be in the hallway on the Haid in the vicinity of the sewage Sinti, including survivors of the concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald, down. Nearby lay a knacker and disreputable than Barack quarters of " asocial " Opfinger settlement. Terms and residents marked forward of this urban space as a place of social exclusion.

In 1985, the " sewage treatment plant sewage farm " closed its doors, as the plant the day had grown to over 90,000 m³ of wastewater quantity could no longer cope and an irrigator without adequate pre-treatment of waste water was no longer legally permitted.

The district sewage farm was built after 1992, the "Town planning competition sewage farm " had been advertised. After extensive soil testing and subsequent soil erosion lightly loaded areas, the conditions were added to the building of the former sewage farm on the western edge of the city. 1993 began the development work on the first phase of construction, began in 1994 with the first residential buildings. In 1996 the first homes were eventually completed and occupied. 1997 Clara Grunwald Primary School was opened and the existing Kepler -Gymnasium moved to the new building.

Is coordinating the project from the sewage farm building department and in particular by the newly founded "Project Group sewage farm ". The plot development is carried out by commercial property developers as well as by private builders or assemblies. To prevent a " building monoculture " may be used by an investor in a location only 40 units - the equivalent of three properties - are built.

Architecture

Almost all apartments in sewage farm are designed as multi-storey buildings in rows of houses along the road on the back side of green areas and gardens were created. A closed design, however, was realized only along Rieselfeldallee, which acts as the main axis and takes the tram. To ensure a heterogeneous structure, rental and condominiums as well as single-family and multi-family houses were not spatially separated. In order to take account of the environmental impact, the entire building is built in low-energy building. Renewable energy sources have been used in most cases in order to ensure sustainability. In addition, the entire area is wheelchair - or stroller justice.

The Mary Magdalene Church of the Cologne architect Susanne Gross is a compact structure made ​​of concrete, the one does not necessarily considers the function as a church, especially a tower is missing. She stands at a central location in the district and is home to the church premises of the Catholic and the Protestant church, both of which are named after Mary Magdalene. The two church rooms are separated by a large foyer, the side walls can be pushed away so that a large common area of the two sacred spaces created with the foyer.
