call to the History Workshop Du-Nord: In recent weeks are in Bruckhausen in the course of planning a "green belt" several buildings have been demolished. We urge the city of Duisburg to hereby to stop the demolition immediately.
Bruckhausen shows as an ensemble as the last district in the Ruhr area, the close juxtaposition of industrial and residential development, as for the Region was typical. Bruckhausen is a historic landscape of high historical value. In 2007, the Rheinische Conservation Office looked through "The density of historic buildings and their clear association with the opposite
plants" found it necessary to stimulate the expulsion of a large part of the district Bruckhausen, including the complete today's "redevelopment area" as a memorial area. Bruckhausen as monument area has been examined in the context of the Green Belt planning never. The public interest in the preservation of a unique backdrop Ruhr has not been balanced against other interests, the preliminary study treated only individual values listed buildings and also only part of the historically important material. We think this is a serious omission. Bruckhausen about to be torn down at the moment in which the district for decades, it finally feeling better. The environmental impacts have fallen significantly and will continue to fall. For more than 20 years, many public funds flowed into the neighborhood and have contributed to the development. And, not least to the trained first difficult years, a Turkish-born middle class, Bruckhausen and regards Germany as his home and now deprived of his property and his home is. Just this example built by immigrants have sometimes very expensive maintenance work on its over 100 year old houses to the protection of our German heritage proved a valuable service. Bruckhausen announced today the chance to be a normal, more livable neighborhood. More than that: As a large proportion of the houses has become one of the city, there is a unique opportunity to implement a real reform and thus to give the city a unique, living memorial. We have to put a positive vision for the north of Duisburg be developed that supports the emerging trends and opportunities exploited, rather than bring about the destruction of our cultural heritage and social structures. We therefore call for a moratorium on Bruckhausen - the immediate stop to the demolition and the development of a new restructuring plan which complies with the listed building self-confidence, and provides potential opportunities exploited, rather than bring about the destruction of our cultural heritage and social structures.
