found: St. Katharinen, 2013:page 227 (Katharinenviertel) page 283 (Katharinenviertel; hemmed in between the tax zone [to the south] and the municipal autobahn, for several years the neighborhood around the Katharinenkirche lay unnoticed on the southern edge of the inner city in the post-war period; with the fall of the tax zone and the development of HafenCity the neighborhood has gone back from its marginal situation into the middle of the city) pages 285-286 (the Katharinenkirche attempted early on to find several approaches that would help the development of the district; it invited residents, labor associations, contractors and developers to an exchange of ideas, after which there was agreement that more people also meant more employment and it would be important to maintain the character of the district by making it identifiable from without; the "Katharinenviertel" as its own district (existing officially only as a part of the Hamburg-Altstadt) had to be created; the Katharinenkirche has a significant role to play in the formation of this identity; the church is deeply rooted in its own developed residential area, but has also been long active in the area not only in classically church (religious) activities, but also in social interests)
