  • Begleitprogramm
    GUSTAV-OELSNER- GESELLSCHAFT für Architektur und Städtebau e. V. Begleitprogramm Fachtagung am 9./10. Mai 2019 Hamburger und Altonaer Reformwohnungbau der 1920er Jahre Vergleichende Perspetiven von Modellen der Moderne Rundfahrt zu den Schumacher-Siedlungen Dulsberg und Jarrestadt Nach Ende der Inflationszeit 1923 und seiner Rückkehr von Köln nach Hamburg war Fritz Schumacher als Oberbaudirektor maßgeblich an der Planung und Realisierung neuer Wohnquartiere beteiligt. Durch seine Vorgaben prägte er mit den neuen Siedlungen das Stadtbild Hamburgs. Dabei wurden aus der Vorkriegszeit stammen- de Bebauungspläne überarbeitet und „reformiert“. Bei Planung und Realisierung der neuen Wohnsiedlungen kooperierte Schumacher mit Architekten Karl Schneider, Paul A. R. Frank, Ernst Dorendorf, Friedrich Richard Ostermeyer, Hermann Höger, Robert Friemann, Otto Hoyer, Wilhelm Behrens und anderen. Karl Schneiders mit dem ersten Preis ausgezeichneter Entwurf für den 1926 durchge- führten Wettbewerb für die Bebauung der staatlichen Grundstücke an der Jarrestraße überzeugte mit einer innovativen strukturellen Lösung, die zeilenförmige Baukörper über niedrige Elemente zu Hofbebauungen mit geöffneten Ecken verband. Der von Schneider 1927/28 umgesetzte zentrale Wohnblock Raum zeichnet sich durch eine kontrastreiche Gestaltung seiner Innen- und Außenseiten aus, die sich in der starken Gliederung der Straßenfassaden in einzelne Hauseinheiten und der Zusammenfas- sung der Hoffassaden durch prägnante weiße Balkonbrüstungen manifestiert. Den Eingang in den 100 auf 100 Meter großen Innenhof markieren zwei erhöhte Ein- gangsbauten, die den Übergang zwischen dem halb-privaten Hofraum und der Stadt betonen. Mit den neuen Wohnquartieren Eimsbüttel, Eppendorf, Winterhude, Alsterdorf, Barmbek-Nord, Barmbek-Süd, Hamm und Veddel schuf Schumacher einen Ring um die gründerzeitlichen Wohngebiete, einen grünen „Gürtel um Hamburgs alten Leib“, wie er es selbst nannte.

  • Bruges, Trier & Cologne: Three New Romantik Hotels in World Heritage Cities
    Bruges, Trier & Cologne: Three new Romantik Hotels in World Heritage Cities (Frankfurt, 1 February 2017) Romantik is expanding its presence at three historic locations: prestigious hotels in the World Heritage Cities of Bruges in Belgium, and Trier and Cologne in Germany have joined the Romantik Hotels brand, which has 200 hotels and 300 partner hotels in ten European countries. The newcomers are Hotel de Orangerie, Hotel Zur Glocke and Hotel im Wasserturm. Travellers can stay at a total of 26 Romantik Hotels located in or near 18 World Heritage Sites in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium. Thomas Edelkamp, Chairman of Romantik, is delighted with the new additions: “The World Heritage Sites are some of the most visited travel destinations in Europe. At Romantik we are now offering guests top hotels at these locations that also have their own very special stories to tell. Our new members highlight a growing trend: more and more outstanding city hotels are choosing to benefit from the marketing strength of the Romantik brand.” Romantik Hotel de Orangerie, Bruges Romantik Hotel de Orangerie is located in the heart of the mediaeval city of Bruges, not far from the main museums and shops and close to the best restaurants. This is one of the most popular hotels in the kingdom. A former 15th century convent, it is situated right by the picturesque Dijver Canal. The Vermast family brings out the historic character of the mediaeval building perfectly with antique furniture and paintings, while successfully creating a contemporary hotel that meets the highest standards. Romantik Hotel Zur Glocke, Trier Romantik Hotel Zur Glocke is a gem in the heart of Trier.
