Here they are: The results of the workshop process

Alexander Munk — Sun, 19 Sep 2021 08:32:30 +0000

In cooperation with the district of Mitte, we conducted a workshop process from June to August this year. These workshops with the participation of representatives from the district, the senate administrations (SenSW, SenWEB and SenUVK), local businesses (e.g. Frauenhofer-Institut, GSG, TU Berlin, Berliner Unterwelten etc.), neighbours and interested citizens are part of an open project development for finding ideas for future uses. Ideas, hints and comments were collected and discussed together. The aim of the process was to develop a commercially and politically accepted new neighbourhood that is designed for attractive and sustainable uses and will be in demand by users and citizens alike in the long term. This broad and early involvement of knowledge bearers and experts before the procedural steps of urban land use planning is an important concern for us.

The entire process was supported by an illustrator (graphic recorder). The resulting illustrations, which are reproduced in the report, visualise the discussions in the workshop talks, but not always their results.

The result of the workshop process consists of a result plan and a textual-conceptual appendix. In the latter, the essential contents concerning identity, unique selling points, uses and distribution of uses, urban development as well as traffic, development and public space were defined, which could be achieved as a result of the process among all participants.

Both documents can be downloaded here. For the moment they are only available in German.

The report on the results forms the basis for the urban planning ideas competition that will now follow with invited architectural firms.

We would like to thank all participants and especially the committed citizens for their constructive participation in the workshops. We found the process extremely inspiring, constructive and purposeful. We think we have taken a big step towards anchoring our project as an added value for the neighbourhood and its surroundings and look forward to the next steps together with them.

Thank you!

Brunnenviertel residents join in discussions on the QAH.

Alexander Munk — Thu, 05 Aug 2021 10:09:45 +0000

In an exchange of ideas with local participants, business owners from around the Brunnenviertel and residents from surrounding neighborhoods during our first residents’ discussion of 29^th July 2021, we looked at questions such as: What should the future Quartier am Humboldthain look like? What should it be used for? And by whom?

Mr. Scheffer from Jahn, Mack & Partner presented the results from the most recent workshops as well as any still open questions. The ideas and suggestions were grouped into themes of interest by the team of moderators, which could then be viewed by everyone and added to on site. Information about the industrial history of the Berlin site was provided through an exhibition and a short film, while District Councilor Gothe, along with representatives for both the District and Berlin Senate, spoke about opening up the development with passageways and possible links to the surrounding area and Volkspark Humboldthain.

We look forward to continuing the lively discussion with any further suggestions and ideas in our closing workshop on 18^th August 2021. Be there!

Open development process kicks off for the Quartier am Humboldthain

Alexander Munk — Tue, 08 Jun 2021 11:06:48 +0000

8th June 2021, Berlin: Coros has been developing the Quartier am Humboldthain (QAH) in Berlin Mitte for nearly a year now. Yesterday, the “Open Development” process began with Büro Dr. Vogel GmbH. The district is located on Gustav-Meyer-Allee, south of Volkspark Humboldthain. The site was acquired in 2019 with its current assets. On the former Nixdorf production site, a lively commercial quarter will be created over the next few years. Both local residents and experts are being actively contacted to participate in the development process, in order to establish what should be built on the approximately 65,000 m2 plot. The Quartier am Humboldthain is one of Berlin’s biggest urban regeneration projects and currently the largest commercial development within the S-Bahn Ring. The planning period for the new district will extend over the next 3-5 years, with its essential urban development outline set for completion by 2028. The project is being managed by Quartier am Humboldthain GmbH, and news and reports on the district’s development are publicly available on quartier-humboldthain.berlin.

The Quartier Am Humboldthain is being built in one of Berlin’s eleven “Zukunftsorte”, or sites of future innovation, in the Gesundbrunnen district. For decades, the area was associated with AEG and the electrical industry and is characterised by its industrial buildings and workers’ quarters. Nowadays, the district is being transformed into a place of science, research and contemporary services. The Quartier am Humboldthain has already been designated part of the Humboldthain Technology Park (TPH). Together with institutes from the Technische Universität (TU), Berlin, the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM and various innovative companies from technology, IT and research sectors , as well as media and creative industries, science and commerce are already working closely together on this site. Construction here will allow the location and district to benefit from new and opportunities.

When it comes to what the quarter should be used for, its location offers a whole variety of possibilities . Close-by are the recreation area Volkspark Humboldthain and the historic buildings of the former AEG factory, which surround the quarter. The workshops that began yesterday will form the basis of the “Open Development” process and will determine how the site can be used in the future. A variety of commercial uses are possible here. Development of the quarter will allow the site to become an integral part of the existing public urban space, with walkways through the quarter and public access, particularly on the ground floor, being just two ways in which this can be achieved. Our goal is to create spaces for as many different users as possible.

Developed by Büro Dr. Vogel GmbH, the aim of the “Open Development” process is to achieve a broad consensus between residents and key stakeholders from politics, commerce and science by developing a workable concept of use for this special location. To achieve this, several discussion rounds with residents as well as representatives from politics, commerce and science will take place. Wishes and suggestions for the development of the quarter can be expressed during facilitated discussions. These will establish a solid basis for the development of the quarter.
