Altona-Kieler Chaussee
The Altona-Kieler Chaussee was the second art street in the Duchy of Holstein after the Makadam-Straße near Pfingstberg . It connects Altona to Kiel via Bramstedt and Neumünster .
history
The approximately 91 kilometer long Chaussee was built between 1830 and 1832 on behalf of the Danish sovereign King Friedrich VI. built to speed up the land transport of goods, people and information in the southernmost part of Holstein, which he ruled in personal union. The construction costs were around 980,000 Danish Rigsbankdaler . The expansion took place in two lanes so that oncoming wagons did not have to evade each other.
The travel time for a team with four horses was about ten hours, before construction it was about 24 hours. In 1866 the area became part of the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein . Until 1874, tolls were levied at several barriers , and from 1877 there was a customs post in Altona.
Granite milestones with a height of about one meter on the western side of the road have been preserved to this day ( → list ). These show the distance to Altona and Kiel in miles, the initials of the Danish king (FR - Fridericus Rex) with a crown and the year of completion. The two milestones still existing in Hamburg on Holsteiner Chaussee 49 and 396 are entered in the Hamburg list of monuments under the numbers 19403 and 19393. The total distance of 12¼ miles (7.5324 km) indicated on the milestones results in a mathematical distance of around 92.3 km. The zero point in Altona was at the end of Rose Street and Locust Street, "Bey said Fran's Hoff" (later Gählerplatz south of the present confluence of Gählerstraße in the Holsten Street ), which in Kiel Rondeel with an original three-meter-high sandstone obelisk , the Ancient of the Lübecker Chaussee begins.
With the introduction of trunk roads on January 17, 1932, the road became part of trunk road 4 Kiel - Nuremberg. The section from Hamburg-Altona - there via the Holstenstrasse / Kieler Strasse street - to Bad Bramstedt is still part of the Bundesstrasse 4 today ; the subsequent section via Neumünster to Kiel has since been downgraded to a state road (L319 between Bad Bramstedt and Neumünster, L318 between Neumünster and Kiel). There is a cycle path parallel to the street along the entire length . The AKN Eisenbahn built their main line from Altona to Kaltenkirchen along this road.
