Aachen - Wiederaufbau : Rekonstruktion durch Translozierung
The dissertation sheds light on the historical dimension of building relocations in urban planning. For the first time, relocation is examined as a method for urban reconstruction. From the detailed history of the concept and individual examples, the relocation of the Berlin courthouse arbor crystallizes as the ignition point of urban planning relocations. With the first urban planning publications, the model set a precedent. During various urban planning interventions and breakthroughs around 1900, material worthy of preservation was stored and reused. In cities with a corresponding building stock, the method became a system. Responsible for this were monument conservators, who could not yet be sharply separated from urban planners. Finally, relocation was used systematically on a large scale in the urban redevelopment of the 1930s and in the reconstruction of many large West German cities. Urban planning models make it clear that until the 1970s, relocations were seen as an equal response to urban development issues alongside adaptation new construction, square reconstruction, and arcade construction. Especially the area redevelopments from the 1960s onward offered space for reorganized urban areas in which original substance was supposed to bind urban identity as an anchor of historicity and authenticity. The individual buildings were often considered to be of little preservation value, but in a larger context they were perceived as having an impact on the cityscape. Only rarely was the work done true to the original according to today's understanding; rather, it was a matter of the ensemble effect of certain old town areas. In this way, old towns of typical shape were constituted, whose associated narrative does not reveal the history of their origin to uninformed observers - an omission that calls authenticity into question. Despite the dismissive attitude of many experts, many people today perceive the districts with relocated buildings as an immanent original part of their surroundings.In no other major ...
