Background: The Wasserachse as a Lifeline
Jena-Winzerla was primarily built in the 1970s and early 1980s as a large new residential area in the south of the City of Light. After the reunification, the district underwent a significant transformation through comprehensive urban redevelopment programs, dismantling, and renovations. A key element of this urban enhancement is the so-called Wasserachse – a landscape project that breaks up the residential blocks with plenty of greenery and designed watercourses.
Together with the Stadtbalkon, this area today forms the green center of the district. The Wasserachse serves residents year-round as a local recreation spot and meeting point. Traditional events like the Easter egg hunt use these newly created open spaces to sustainably strengthen neighborly cohesion in the quarter and create identification with their own living environment.
