Remodeling of the Lindenhof and Mühlstraße as well as the Woogsplatz
The magistrate of the science city of Darmstadt has decided in its most recent session (February 22) for the redesign of Lindenhof and Mühlstraße and the Woogsplatz. This further advanced the sustainable conversion of the Kapellplatzviertel.
This measure is part of the urban development program "Growth and Sustainable Renewal" in the "Kapellplatz/Woogsviertel/Ostbahnhof" support area and is financed together by the federal government, the state of Hesse and the city of Science Darmstadt.
The aim of the planned redesign is to create more quality of stay for the citizens and to transform the two streets and the Woogsplatz into attractive, diverse freedom.
Planning director Michael Kolmer explains: “With the redesign of the Lindenhof and Mühlstraße and the Woogsplatz, we want to enhance the neighborhood sustainably. Our goal is to create more quality of stay and green spaces. These measures are an important step in order to make the quarters sustainable and climate -friendly for the residents. They strengthen the quality of life for everyone. "
Part of the package of measures is the conversion of the Woogsplatz, which is currently being used as a parking lot, to a central neighborhood place. This is planned as an interplay of open open spaces, green islands and wooden seating plateaus. The historic gate and the foundation stone of the former gymnasium on Woogsplatz from 1901 are also said to return to their original place and remember the situation at that time.
Another measure is the introduction of traffic-calmed areas: Lindenhofstraße between Teichhausstrasse and Mühlstraße and Mühlstraße between Kleiner Woog and Lindenhofstrasse are trained as traffic-calmed areas. In the future, Mühlstraße will only be used by resident, delivery traffic, garbage and rescue vehicles.
At the same time, Lindenhofstrasse is to be a so -called “school road”. For this purpose, a rip of bollards with a retractable bollard is installed in Lindenhofstrasse directly behind the access to the western Mercksplatz. This blocks Lindenhofstrasse for two hours in the morning before the start of school and daycare. In the rest of the time, the bollard is open and the road is entered. This measure is intended to optimize building and bringing traffic.
As part of an early and comprehensive participation process, the citizens of the district were able to contribute their ideas and suggestions from the start. Also the
"Local Partnership", a group of interested and committed initiatives, clubs and owners, has been active since the beginning and represents an important participation tool. To finance the measures, further funding applications are made to ensure complete implementation. The green area office as well as the mobility and civil engineering office of the science city of Darmstadt will now start with the design and execution planning in collaboration with the city planning office.
“Due to the new construction of the Heinrich Hoffmann primary school with a daycare center and outdoor games, the district has already changed positively. In addition, the upcoming redesign of the old town system will continue to change and be upgraded in the next few years, ”concludes Kolmer.
