Wohnquartier Emscher Quelle

Project description

On a former barracks site - the former Emscher barracks - we have been realizing a family-friendly, modern residential area with 135 single-family houses and 6 multi-family houses on a plot of around 88,000 m² in 9 construction phases since 2020. The single-family houses include garages and outdoor parking spaces as well as open spaces with terraces and gardens. The residential development is flanked by a two-row day-care center with an outdoor area, which will be located in the central green area. Completion is scheduled for 2024. The first residents moved into their houses at the end of 2021, and the last houses in the 8th and 9th construction phases are now available.

The quarter, located on the south-western outskirts of the city, blends seamlessly into the surrounding area, which is characterized by agricultural areas, the Emscher and the Sölder Bruch. The new residential area is characterized by a green axis that runs from north to south through the emerging future neighborhood.

The quarter is accessed via two public access roads from Sölder Strasse to the north. The connection of a new bus stop is planned, as well as public charging stations for electromobility. Within the area, a new ring road will branch off into six small, private and quiet residential cul-de-sacs.

The homes are built according to the latest technical standards. Air heat pumps ensure a sustainable supply that is independent of fossil energy. The ecological concept in the district includes rainwater retention basins, drainage-capable pavement as well as needs-based, user-independent domestic ventilation and green garage roofs.

Urban home – rural life: realize your dream of owning your own home in Cologne. If you want to live in the Rhine metropolis and still enjoy the view of the countryside, then take the chance of a modern home in the "Am Krausbaum" district in Cologne-Wahn. Because the best investment in the future is and remains a home of your own that stands for sustainability, both ecologically and economically.

A small, fine neighborhood with 12 semi-detached houses is being built here. In a first construction phase, 18 houses were already realized in the "Am Krausbaum" project in 2019. The current new buildings complete the quarter.

The construction project offers spacious semi-detached houses with living space of almost 143 m², spread over three floors. All houses have a full basement and are equipped with modern building services. Each house has a garage and its own garden. Part of the area will be accessed via a new, traffic-calmed private road.

Welcome to the countryside

The residential park Emscherquelle offers family homes with perfect connections to town and country. The Emscher, which gives it its name, has its source just a stone's throw away.

The new quarter is being built on the outskirts of the town of Holzwickede, which has almost 17,000 inhabitants. Located just behind the city limits of Dortmund, you will find space and tranquility away from the metropolis.

The location on the green edge of the Ruhr area - combined with a natural landscape - makes Holzwickede a popular place to live, not only for families. The independent municipality has a developed town center and is characterized by a citizen-friendly infrastructure. Educational facilities from daycare to secondary school, sports, social and leisure facilities and a wide range of cultural activities make the city worth living in. Local supply and retail can be found as well as local service and commercial companies. Located between the A1 and B1, the city is connected to road traffic with the Ruhr metropolitan region 1A. The station is served by various regional trains, bus lines and a well-developed network of cycle paths complete the mobile network.
