V prispevku je govor o infrastrukturnih raziskavah povezanih s prostorskim redom koridorja Berlin–Moskva in njegovim najdinamičnejšim delom, ki leži med nemško-poljsko mejo in Poznanom. Zasnovan je ...na raziskavi, ki so jo opravili v sklopu Bauhaus Kolleg V, Tranzitni prostori: tranzicijska mesta v vzhodni Evropi, v letih 2003/2004 na skladu Bauhaus Dessau. Koridor med Berlinom in Moskvo je primer novega prostorskega reda v postsocialistični Evropi, pretoka kapitala in dobrin, migracijskih tokov, širitve EU, komunikacijskih omrežij, ki jih skupaj drži infrastruktura. Tranzicijska gospodarstva in večplastne alokacijske politike so proizvod premika EU proti vzhodu in obenem povzročajo nove prostorske strukture in razlikovanja. Nove nevidne, toda učinkovite prostorske ovire in obrobja nadomeščajo državne meje. Raziskani primeri ob dvopasovni tranzitni cesti med nemško-poljsko mejo in Poznanom odkrivajo intenzivno verigo servisnih postaj, 24-urnih barov, nočnih klubov, restavracij in hotelov. Ob novoodkriti prometni osi so kompleksne servisne postaje umestili in zgradili v doslej nerazvitem prostoru – kot nanizane bisere. To so vozlišča v omrežju globalnega pretoka dobrin, informacij in proizvodov vsakodnevne rabe. Prispevek raziskuje razmere in priložnosti tega območja v sklopu razvoja Evrope.
Transit space is about the infrastructure investigations concerning the spatial order of the “corridor” Berlin–Moscow and the most dynamic part of the “corridor” from the German-Polish Border to ...Poznan. It is based on the research conducted during the Bauhaus Kolleg V, “Transit Spaces: Transitional Cities in Eastern Europe” 2003/04 in the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation. The corridor between Berlin and Moscow is one example for a new spatial order within the postsocialism of Eastern Europe, and the flow of capital and goods, migrant streams, the EU expansion, communication networks and the development of the infrastructure holding it together. Transit economies and multilayered new allocation policies result from the shifting of the EU to the East, and cause new spatial structures and differentiations. Beyond the national borders, new invisible but effective spatial barriers and frontiers have emerged. The case studies, along the two lane transit road from the German Polish border to Poznan reveal an intense sequence of service stations, 24 hour bars, night clubs, restaurants and hotels. Complex service stations were built and placed – like pearls on a chain – along new goods traffic axes at so far undeveloped territories. They are nodes in the network of a global flow of goods, information and products of daily use. This article investigates the conditions and prospects of this new area within the European development.
