There is Sorrow in Haydarpaşa

Within a few months, Haydarpaşa will be buried in a silence that he is not accustomed to. Şimdi Istanbul's gate or is closing, so what now?

I made railways all the way to the country, the steel rails end Haydarpasa'da. I made a harbor with his big buildings, it's still not clear. Build me a building where those rails reach the sea, when your Ummah looks at you and say, 'Do not leave here before you go to Mecca.'

These words, II. It belongs to Abdülhamit…

The dream of the sultan, nicknamed “Red Hakan”, “to go by rail continuously until Mecca” has never been achieved… However, Haydarpaşa played a very important role in the transportation of the country for more than a century.

Haydarpaşa Railway Station, the construction of which started in May 1906, was opened on August 19, 1908. Since that day, it has been the “door of Istanbul”… Haydarpaşa, the first point where people from Anatolia see Istanbul, has witnessed many memories and movies.

However, this iconic building will no longer be the center of the city!

So how and why?

In fact, this is the result of a “transformation process” planned for years… As of Tuesday, February 1, all international connections of Haydarpaşa are being removed. So trains from Istanbul to Eskişehir and Ankara will no longer work. Gebze-Haydarpaşa line will serve for a few more months. In June, stopping all train services is on the agenda.

When the "high speed train" studies, which will take two or three years, are completed, the last stop is planned to be Söğütlüçeşme. As you can see, Haydarpaşa is now history…

What are new projects?

So what about Haydarpaşa? Nobody knows the answer to this question. TCDD officials are confident that the building will be protected by the decision of the Protection Board. They believe that a nice project will be realized by the design competition to be organized for the station building. Cultural center, hotel, living space, most pronounced ideas.

However, no matter what the new project, the function of Haydarpaşa over a hundred years, ie the train station will be eliminated.

Cafes, exhibition halls, museums, sound suggestions about new investments. However, no matter what decision is made, it is certain that the public will no longer be a public area to use as today.
According to TCDD officials, after the three-way connection with Marmaray la nobody wants to come to Haydarpaşa ü.

The logic is this: Why should the passenger get off in Haydarpaşa and wait for the ferry and cross the street in 30 minutes? While reaching Sirkeci in four minutes…

We're against the unscheduled transportation

However, not everyone thinks like this ... This includes civil society, academics, passengers and rail workers. The main objections at this point are:

1) A central garage in a city is a must. The city's identity is part of its memory. 5-6 in Paris
There is a central garage, why do we cancel the two historic gauges we have?

2) High-speed train, but the alternative. An accident, a state of emergency (eg earthquake) is the most reliable and robust option. Why is the new line made on the functioning line?

3) Haydarpaşa's bypassing means that the maritime connection is interrupted. Maybe people will want to take the steamer instead of smoking in four minutes and pass across the tea. Why are we condemned to transport without options?

4) Haydarpaşa will be opened to rent with new projects. The public area will lose its character, but it will become a place where only a certain sector can use it. Has anyone asked the citizen?

Will Haydarpaşa be closed?

Well, no one knows that Haydarpaşa will be closed, even those who use the train ... Everyone is in trouble. When I asked the subject, many citizens looked at my face disbelievingly. Who should I know? To the authorities, the media, who do not inform the public enough about the process? Or is it the ring that doesn't own the train station, identity, freedom of transportation?

The size of the area belonging to TCDD where the Haydarpaşa station is located (million square meters)

Most of the train passengers are not informed about the future of Haydarpasa Train Station.

WAS THE LEGAL FIGHT FOR THE HISTORIC GAR?

One hundred thousand walks in Stuttgart 21

• A process similar to Haydarpaşa was experienced in Stuttgart, Germany. However, the decision was taken with the participation of the public, not as quiet and profound as we are.

Within the scope of the “Stuttgart 21” (S21) project, the apocalypse broke out when the central station in Stuttgart, the capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg, was to be taken underground….

With the support of the Stuttgart, Green Party and civil society, 2007 launched its signature campaign and demonstrations. 67 thousand signatures were collected against the project.

The demonstrations grew in 2009. 30 In September 2010, hundreds of demonstrators were injured when police used water bombs and tear gas. The next day, the 50 thousand people were on the street.

As of that date, every Monday, the Stuttgart people met at the Gar to resist the destruction of the Hauptbahnhof. 1 In October 2010, the protesters found 100 bin.

Stuttgart 21 also changed the political balances in the city. The Greens took over the weight in the municipality. Merkel's party, the CDU, has lost control since the 1972, but has lost the majority. The CDU was heavily damaged during the March elections in the March 2011.

Stuttgart 21 decided to hold a referendum. However, according to legal experts, the project was put on a referendum throughout the province because it did not only concern Stuttgart.

7.5 million people voted in the referendum, November 2011'de concluded. 59, the construction of a long-time project to stop the "no," he said. So Gar's fate was decided by a public vote.
