Glance into the dead end area

The wood road in the district town of Düren in North Rhine-Westphalia is located in the old town.

Holzstrasse, which branches off from August-Klotz-Strasse today and crosses Goethestrasse, ends when it joins Tivolistrasse . This junction was tied off in terms of traffic, so that this section ends as a dead end. The Düren tax office is located on the corner of Holzstrasse and Goethestrasse in a building from the 1950s.

In the cul-de-sac there are several listed buildings that survived the air raid on November 16, 1944 , which completely destroyed most of the city center, with almost no damage. These are the following houses:

The wooden road was drawn in the city map by Wenceslaus Hollar from 1634 as a straight “wooden path”, which led as a tangent to the city wall to the Rur in a southerly direction. It was the connection from today's Tivolistraße to Aachener Straße . This old wooden path was used to bring wood from the Wehrmeistereiwald near Gey and from the Rur, where wood was rafted .
