Thon in change: Historical apartment building and new city center are waiting for the future!

in Thon, a district of Nuremberg, a lot is happening. The historical charm of the quarter is preserved by a new development in the center of the town, while at the same time blowing fresh wind. Here, where a four -storey apartment building from 1899 by carpenter Michael Volland once adorned the old town center, not only the history, but also on the future. The apartment building, which was built in a time when the surrounding buildings were predominantly one or two-story, is today in the middle of a rapid change.

The remarkable building on the outer Bucher Straße shows itself through a ground floor made of sandstone and asymmetrically arranged apartments that convey a lively picture. The neighboring "Zum Knoblauchsland", built in 1898, shares stylistic features and reminds of past times. Historical recordings show that the apartment building and the pub were already photographed in 1906. Georg Döblinger, who opened a specimen shop on the ground floor, and the unmarried vegetable dealer Margarete Sippel are also important figures in local history.

The change in Thon

With the incorporation of Thon's in Nuremberg and the changes in the post -war period, the apartment building has since lost a lot of its original charm. Modern interventions have affected the overall impression of the house, while the renovation of the upper roof was converted into living space. It is to be hoped that a sensitive homeowner takes care of the optical disruptive factors and helps the building to new splendor. [Nürnberger Nachrichten] (https://www.nn.de/mietshaus- between-stallen-machte-sm-morf-nurnberg-thon-ein-breit-1.14722490), however, reports that this historical character does not lose this historical character.

As it looks, the “New Mitte Thon” project is implemented here. The demolition of the old final stop has now been completed and a center for the district is planned on the now fallow area. This should not only offer business and living spaces, but also shops and freedom. A striking high -rise called "The One" will in future act as the central point of the entire project and will be scheduled for a construction period between the end of 2022 and 2024. Der Nürnberger has published detailed information about this. The construction work also includes a new stop on Erlanger Straße and the integration of existing office buildings into the new cityscape.

architectural visions for the future

Urban planning provides for a skillful arrangement of four functional city modules that structure the entire area and should enable motor -free flow in all directions. These urban planning measures also offer a context of the northern commercial buildings and are intended to form a link to the urban development concept. The Bermüller-niemeyer already produced the first designs that promise a new facade design and construction. Whether green light joints or round inputs - here you work with different standards and proportions to create a harmonious connection between old and new.

The Italian specialty market on Forchheimer Straße corner Pretzfelder Straße will probably give way to make room for the new project and establish a continuous connection between the adjacent roads. The change in Thon brings a breath of fresh wind and at the same time the challenge of preserving the previous history. Perhaps Thon will soon be a prime example of successful urban development - with a good hand for the integration of old and new.

interested readers are welcome to send old photos of Nuremberg and the region to keep the magic of the past alive. Thon, a district with history, will inevitably move into the future - and that in a way that could inspire both long -established and new residents.
