Spring is starting in Hamburg, and “even the gray St. Pauli bunker will soon be blossoming”: A TV team from the NDR magazine “Rund um den Michel” (Around the Michel) has now dared to climb onto the growing bunker roof and shows the first breath-taking views of the Elbphilharmonie, Michel and harbor.
This week, lattice girders weighing several tons, bottom chords and quadrilateral girders are being placed in the center of the bunker. The steel girders form the ceiling of Hamburg’s future new hall for school sports and cultural events.
The realization of the green bunker St.Pauli is considered a prime example of successful neighborhood participation – and is currently making further progress.
With the addition of a new floor to the St. Pauli bunker, Hamburg 2021 will not only have a public city garden, but also a new sports and events hall. While a multi-faceted cultural program is planned for the evening, the newly built hall will be used for school sports during the day.
650 tons of steel had to be hoisted onto the bunker roof by cranes in recent months, and around 1,400 cubic meters of concrete were pumped up to a height of 52 meters for the first of a total of five new floors. One of Germany’s largest concrete pumps was used for this construction phase.
The shock is deep-seated, the corona virus paralyses public life. The development also does not stop at the construction industry.
We are happy to present to you the website of the St.Pauli bunker. At www.bunker-stpauli.de we report on important progress in relation to the construction project at the Feldstrasse.
High above the city, where St. Michael’s Church and the world-famous Elbphilharmonie are within eyeshot, an impressive public city garden will come to life on the St. Pauli Bunker by 2021. A nursery is already growing around 4,700 plants for this spectacular project.
