It will be one of the largest schools in Hamburg - and, according to School Senator Ties Rabe (SPD), the school with what is probably the most spectacular and expensive school building that the city has ever seen. By 2027, the HafenCity campus will be built at Lohsepark, which will provide space for up to 1,600 students in years five to 13.
The costs are currently estimated at 100 million euros. On Thursday, the school senator presented details of the major project that many in Hafencity have been waiting for for a long time.
The new school is being built on an 11,000 square meter site between Versmannstraße, Hannoversche Bahnhof and the train tracks in the direction of Oberhafenbrücke. The building is expected to offer a total of 84 classrooms, specialist rooms and group rooms on more than 19,000 square meters, as well as three sports halls with a total of six hall areas, a canteen, lounges and a large auditorium.
A day-care center will also move into part of the top floor, and there will be rooms on the ground floor that can be used by initiatives and activists in the district. The design for the school building, which will have up to six floors, came from the architects haascookzemmrich Studio 2050 from Stuttgart.
The particular challenge was to use every square meter of the available site, explained architect Martin Haas, and at the same time to create a place where the students feel comfortable, because school is their permanent place of residence. In its design, the office relies on lots of light, terraces that can also be used for outdoor classes, and lots of glass.
The school will be built according to energy efficiency standard 40, which means that the roofs will be extensively greened and equipped with photovoltaic systems. The ideas of an ecological school should also be taken up in the schoolyard. Architect Haas explained, for example, that they are thinking about making the walls that separate the school from the railway tracks from special clay. Insects, for example, could find a home in the walls.
One looks forward to the new building, said founding headmistress Meike Ludzey. Many of the pedagogical ideas that were part of the tender text can be recognized in the winning design. "We hope that as much of this as possible will now be implemented."
In 2012 there were plans for the first time to build a secondary school in Hafencity. At that time, Hafencity was still a very new part of the city. In 2008, the first district was completed there, and in 2009 the first and so far only school opened, the Katharinen elementary school. The secondary school was planned as a high school in the school development plan, with four trains.
In the years that followed, the concept changed. The idea of the grammar school became that of a combined district school with a grammar school. In 2019, this was established with the new school development plan. At the same time, it became clear that the school should later have eight classes. According to Rabe, this is the absolute upper limit for schools in Hamburg.
In August 2021, the school, which is initially called Campus HafenCity, started school operations. The school started with a high school class and a district school class. In the current school year, 120 students are learning in the containers set up at the school. Headmistress Ludzey said on Thursday that many registrations had been received for the coming school year.
The year will continue to be trained in the provisional pavilions. Where the students will be taught after the start of construction work, which is planned for the end of 2024, is so far unclear and a contentious issue between parents and the authorities. The parents would like to have a solution as close as possible to the three-year construction period.
At the beginning of January, they started a signature campaign together with the “School Campus Lohsepark” initiative, which has been campaigning “for a good school” at the location since 2015. With this they want to convince the school authorities to use the building plots 74-76 as a temporary location for the school. Gruner Jahr originally wanted to build its company headquarters there.
The areas have been idle since the project was canceled - and border directly on the school's construction site 77. Rabe only promised a solution on Thursday in the not too distant future.
