Residential area "Am Hühnerstein"

We are delighted. You are interested in our new residential area "Am Hühnerstein". Here you will always find the latest information on the development of the residential area.

The town of Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe no longer has any plots in the "Am Hühnerstein" development area.

  • Project description

    Important points in the development of the area are

    • Most of the building plots are for families. You can build detached houses, semi-detached houses and terraced houses there.
    • A smaller part is for apartment buildings. So there are also apartments without barriers.
    • The residential area has various streets. The streets have different functions and qualities. There are also various green spaces.
    • There are plans for a new building for the Ober-Erlenbach fire station on Vilbeler Straße. A new children's daycare center is also to be built there. There is a small square with a bus stop in this area. The square is connected to the central green area.
    • The entrance to the village will be redesigned. A traffic circle is to be built on Vilbeler Straße. The traffic circle is at the southern entrance to the residential area.
  • Building owner information

    Many apartments are to be built in the "Am Hühnerstein" residential area in Bad Homburg. The area is in Ober-Erlenbach. Apartments are to be built for young families. General information is available here.

      • A combined heat and power plant supplies the Am Hühnerstein area with local heating. The combined heat and power plant is located at the future neighborhood square.
      • The rainwater in the area must be collected. It must flow slowly into the Erlenbach. More on this can be found under: Development with sewer.
      • There are soils of high ecological quality in the area. These soils should be protected.
      • The roads and facilities for supply and disposal have not yet been completed. The planning of the first residential buildings requires close coordination with the relevant departments.
    • Public development of the area

      The city of Bad Homburg v.d.Höhe is developing the area. You can see the plans for the development here.

      The town is developing the area in sections. It is currently awarding contracts for waste water, drinking water, local heating, electricity and telecommunications. Construction of the facilities will begin soon. The city will then complete the roads. We will inform you later about the construction areas for the roads.

      The final heights of the roads are already visible during the interim construction. You can see the heights on site. Ask the city for the heights of your access roads and paths. This is important. You can find the information here.

    • City program for less energy consumption

      The city of Bad Homburg has a program. The program is for less energy consumption. It is for residential buildings. New residential buildings can also receive money. The new residential buildings must consume little energy. The energy advice service of the city of Bad Homburg helps. The employees help with the Bad Homburg funding guidelines. They also help with questions about saving energy.

    • Legal basis for planning: the development plan

      The basis for building in the "Am Hühnerstein" area is development plan no. 126.

      The plan has rules on the type, size, location and design of buildings. There are also special rules for the area. These are:

      • The plan determines how high the buildings or walls may be. A height plan shows the permitted heights. The plan is an annex to the development plan. It shows how high the buildings or walls may be. There is further information on connecting the building plots to the roads.
      • There are rules for the drainage of rainwater. These apply to all building plots south of the Am Hühnerstein road. For example, retention cisterns can be used.
      • There are special rules for plants on building plots next to the public green spaces P1 and P2.
      • No heating or hot water systems using liquid or solid fuels may be used.
      • Outdoor lighting may only have UV-free light.

      Preventive protection against hazards / second escape route

      The use of the buildings is as described in the Hessian Building Regulations. This does not apply to areas WA1.2 and WA2 in the development plan. The buildings belong to classes 1 to 3. The escape routes are regulated in accordance with the Hessian Building Regulations. The fire department plans to install rescue equipment. The second escape route is accessible via a portable ladder. This ladder is located on the street.

        • General information

          • The city is building new roads in the residential area. These roads are not yet finished. There are temporary roads for the construction sites. These roads are in the south and east of the construction area. Private construction projects use the public roads. These roads must be at least partially completed.
          • The construction work is on Nieder-Erlenbacher Weg. Please pay attention to the neighbors. Nieder-Erlenbacher Weg and Vilbeler Straße are school routes. Pay attention to traffic safety.
          • There are rules for construction noise. These rules can be found in the AVV Baulärm. In the case of dirt, the rules of § 10 HBO for construction sites apply. The rules of the road are also important.

        • Discharging wastewater during construction

          When constructing buildings, wastewater must be drained off correctly. Care must be taken to ensure that building materials do not pollute the wastewater and rainwater drains. The rules in the wastewater regulations are important. The prohibitions and restrictions in sections 10 and 11 are particularly important.

          Rainwater from private building plots and public areas flows into the Erlenbach. You have to be careful here. Contaminated wastewater must not be allowed to enter the inlets of public areas. Otherwise the Erlenbach and the green spaces will be polluted.

        • Approval from the traffic authority

          You need a permit from the traffic authority. This applies to work on the road. You can find the application forms on the Internet.

        • Special use of public space

          If you want to make special use of public space, there are instructions. Space is often limited. There are many construction sites. Therefore, it is sometimes not possible to use it. You are not allowed to use public green spaces. Only plan construction sites on your own property. There are recommendations for protecting the soil in the area.

          The special use statutes regulate the use of public space. You must submit applications in writing. They can be informal. You must observe the contents of the statutes. You can also use the application form (see below).

        • Construction of house connections

          The construction company installs the house connections. The construction company digs in the public area. The construction company must apply for a permit for road excavation. The permit is for road construction. The application can be downloaded online. The permit contains information on backfilling. The permit contains information on compaction. The permit contains information on the use of the materials. The construction company must comply with the information.

          Important:

          • The sand cover and cover of the supply lines must be made according to the specifications of the utility company. However, it must not be thicker than 30 centimeters. The area between the sand cover and the road structure must be filled with material that can be easily compacted. Do not use sand for this.
          • Frost protection material or gravel (basalt gravel) must be used for the road structure. This is the unbound base course. It must be at least as thick as before. Before the asphalt layer is laid, the asphalt around the excavation or trench must be cut back by at least 15 centimetres. If the walls are broken during digging or filling, the asphalt must be cut back to 15 centimetres beyond the broken area. The aim is to ensure that the soil is installed during filling and compaction in such a way that it does not settle. This is only possible if the asphalt is cut back beyond the size of the trench or pit.
          • In order to restore the surface, the edges must be filled with basalt gravel up to the top edge if the final structure has not yet been completed. An asphalt layer (AC 32 TN) of the same thickness must then be laid in the asphalt areas.
          • An engineering office or the road construction department supervises the work. They supervise the road and civil engineering work. Diagonal measurements are taken together with the city to check the cut-back areas.

        • Soil protection

          The soil in the "Am Hühnerstein" development area is very valuable. The soil is fertile. The soil should be protected. The leaflet on soil protection during construction contains a lot of information. The information is about the importance and measures of soil protection.

      • There are many things to consider when developing a property.

        • Connection heights between property and public road

          The road will be partially built during the first development. Asphalt is laid in the road. The edges will be made with a layer of loose material for the time being. The edges and paving stones on the sidewalks will be finished later. The concrete kerbs and gutters will also be finished later.

          The final heights of the road can already be seen after the first construction phase.

          It is important to know the height planning of the street. This should be done before the planning application is submitted. This is particularly important if the road has not yet been built. The information can be found below.

          • You must develop your property with a building. There are legal rules for this. These rules ensure that wastewater and rainwater are disposed of correctly. You discuss all questions relating to wastewater development with the civil engineering department. The urban drainage product area will help you with this. The contact details can be found at the end of this chapter. It is important to carry out drainage planning before planning permission is granted. During the application and building permit process, it is checked whether the property is properly developed. It is also checked whether wastewater and rainwater can be disposed of properly. You should then submit the drainage application quickly. This will enable you to obtain approval for the connection to the municipal sewer system.

            The leaflet "Drainage in the Am Hühnerstein development area" contains information. This information will help you with your drainage application.

          • Pipes on the property

            The pipes for wastewater and rainwater go a little way onto the property. They are there when the building is finished.

            You need to know which pipe is for what. This is important on the building site. These things help:

            1. Wooden stakes show where the pipes end.
            2. The pipe for waste water is deeper. It is made of brown material.
            3. The pipe for rainwater is made of blue plastic.

            Technical inspection of correct connections and rainwater storage

            The municipal drainage department checks the drainage of properties. This is important because of environmental regulations. It is about the correct connections and the storage of rainwater. This gives building owners and wastewater operators security.

            The inspection only checks the connections and rainwater storage. Other parts of the drainage system are not checked. The architect or construction company is responsible for the correct design of the drainage system.

            The inspection of the connections and rainwater storage should be requested from the municipal drainage department at an early stage. This allows the building owner to react quickly in the event of problems.

            Leak test, as-built plan and declaration of execution

            The municipal drainage system requires three documents. The first document is the certificate of tightness. The second document is a plan of the location of the sewers. The third document is the declaration from the company or the planner. These documents must be submitted after the measure.

            A new sewer must be watertight. This is stated in the rules of technology. The tightness is tested with water or air. The test must be in accordance with DIN 1986-30 / DIN EN 1610. Only specialists are allowed to carry out the test. The test shows that the sewer has been built correctly.

          • Local heating

            The area receives heat from a combined heat and power plant. The district heating statutes for the "Am Hühnerstein" development area form the basis.

            • The cogeneration plant uses combined heat and power and gas boilers, which consume little energy.
            • The primary energy factor is very low.
            • The technical requirements for the district heating house station and house system are listed below.
            • For information on charges, please contact the municipal utility company. The contact is below.

          • Street design

            The main part of the residential area will in future be connected by a ring road. There are two access roads at Vilbeler Straße. A smaller part will be connected to Nieder-Erlenbacher Weg via new paths.

            The roads will be designed according to their function. This depends on the traffic density. There are local thoroughfares, main roads and residential streets. The roads have different widths and features. For example, there are trees, different surfaces and lighting.

            Nieder-Erlenbacher Weg is getting a new sidewalk in the west. There are also a number of parking spaces with trees. The eastern section is an area for all road users. There are also parking spaces and trees here.

            The roads are being upgraded in two stages. First, cables are laid. Then a construction road is built. This road is about 4 meters wide and asphalted. There is gravel on the sides. The final development will take place when most of the houses are finished. All roads will have modern design elements and environmentally friendly materials.

          • Drainage concept

            The wastewater in the residential area flows through a separation system. The wastewater flows directly to the sewage treatment plant in the north-east. The local sewer network is not burdened. The rainwater on the private properties flows into cisterns. It then flows slowly into the Erlenbach.

            In the event of heavy rain, the Erlenbach is to be relieved. The rainwater on the roads first flows into gutters. Then it flows into troughs on the green areas. It then flows slowly into the Erlenbach.

          • Local heating and drinking water

            The heating center supplies the houses with heat. The heating center is located in the west of the area. It is south of the neighborhood square. From there, a pipe runs through the residential area. There are many pipes. So the supply is secure. This also applies to the drinking water.

          • Open space planning

            The residential area has many green spaces. You can walk through the green spaces. The green spaces are beautiful. In the east there is an area with lots of nature.

            There is a large green space in the middle. A small square connects the green space with Vilbeler Straße. There are two paths on the sides. There is water in the middle. There are lots of seats. Children can play there.

            There are small green areas at the entrance to the area. There are seats there. There is also sports equipment.

        • The award is ready.
