The Beethoven Street in downtown Kempten (Allgäu) is part of the Federal Straße 19 . The traffic route named after Ludwig van Beethoven is the namesake for the monument preservation ensemble Beethovenstraße. The street scene is characterized by elegant suburban villas.
history
Today's Beethovenstrasse already existed before the 19th century as a connecting axis between the long-distance road ( Lindauer Strasse ) leading from the west to the imperial city. After the middle of the 19th century, the first phase of the city expansion towards the terminus , which was opened in 1852, began. The trench of the Kempten city fortifications was built over .
The beginning of the Battle of Sedan Sedan street named street was in the course of World War II in Mussolinistraße renamed and received after the war, their current road name.
Development
The exclusive development of suburban villas resulted in an elegant residential area in the 19th century. The open design with large side gaps and front gardens on both sides of the street contributed to this. The villas are mostly two-storey and are very similar to each other due to their risalits, bay windows and verandas. The architectural style belongs to late historicism ; this lazy late-classical , neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance in forms.
Along the Beethovenstraße there are buildings that were built later, such as the Parktheater (Linggstraße 2), the Parkhotel originally built in the 1970s and reopened in 1997 after modernization measures, or the Künstlerhaus, which was heavily modified in the 20th century . The list of monuments includes seven structures, including original garden houses and front garden enclosures.
