The Ammonstraße is a city road with main street feature in the center of Dresden . It is located entirely in the district of Altstadt I and in the statistical district of Wilsdruffer Vorstadt / Seevorstadt-West . The part to the north of Falkenstrasse is counted as part of Wilsdruffer Vorstadt , the section south of it belongs to Seevorstadt .
traffic
Ammonstraße is part of the 26th Ring , which leads around the inner suburbs of Dresden . This Ringstrasse bears the name Ammonstrasse from its westernmost point on Ehrlichstrasse to the beginning of the tunnel under Wiener Platz near Dresden Central Station . This makes it the connection between Könneritzstrasse and Wiener Strasse . Ammonstrasse directs traffic to the southwest around the city center.
Almost its entire length - from the grade- crossing with the Budapest road to its transition into the Könneritzstraße - is the Ammonstraße part of the federal highway 173 . Another important intersection is the one with Freiberger Straße about 700 meters northwest of the Budapester Straße bridge . The tracks of the Dresden tram , which has several stops along the street, run to the west or south-west largely parallel to Ammonstraße, which has four lanes in sections. The city operates a parking lot for coaches on Ammonstraße , which is also the starting point for regular buses of the regional Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains . The Dresden Freiberger Straße S-Bahn stop is also on Ammonstraße.
history
Ammonstraße was created by expanding the southwestern part of the so-called Environweg, the forerunner of the 26er Ring, which led around the city center. In 1855 this section was given the current name Ammonstraße after the Protestant theologian Christoph Friedrich Ammon (1766–1850), who owned a garden plot on the old Environweg for a long time, where he also lived in summer. Ammon had worked as the Saxon court preacher in Dresden from 1813 to 1849 .
From the time it was named, the buildings along the street also became more concentrated. Until the 1870s, mostly residential houses were built in the north-western part of the street, lined up in a closed construction . The Weißeritzmühlgraben flowed until 1937 at about the level of Güterbahnhofstrasse under Ammonstrasse. In the area of today's Budapester Strasse bridge, there were several school buildings on the south side of Ammonstrasse as well as the Dresden deaf-mute institution. Directly to the east of it, at the level of Grosse Plauenschen Strasse , was Plauensche Platz , the only square along Ammonstrasse. There the Bergstrasse (from 1894 Kohlschütterstrasse) flowed out from the south and the Chemnitzer Strasse (replaced by Budapester Strasse after the Second World War ) from the southwest . To the east of Plauen Square, there were open-plan houses .
As a result of the devastating air raids on Dresden in February 1945, almost all buildings along Ammonstrasse were destroyed or badly damaged and later demolished. This affected, among other things, the wing of the Maternihospital built by Gottfried Semper and also the property at Ammonstrasse 9, in which the studio of the sculptor Hermann Kress was, who lost all of his artistic work. The resulting open spaces have not been rebuilt for decades; for the most part, they have remained lawns or fallow land planted with trees until the present (as of 2013). Instead, the Dresden tram was given a separate track bed further south-west where houses had previously stood. The space for the extensive bus parking lot was also created in this way. From 1963 to 1967 the Budapester Strasse bridge was built, which also spans Ammonstrasse. Ammonstrasse between Rosenstrasse and Budapester Strasse was expanded by 2005.
Development
From the time before the Second World War , only one building remained on Ammonstrasse: The house with number 8 was built from 1936 to 1938 as an administrative building for the state farming community of Saxony, which is subordinate to the Reichsnährstand , according to plans by Otto Kohtz ; Herbert Volwahsen provided it with reliefs. After the war it was rebuilt or rebuilt for more than two years as the new headquarters of the Dresden Railway Directorate and inaugurated on May 15, 1948 with its new purpose. Today it is the only building on Ammonstraße that is under monument protection (see list of cultural monuments in Old Town I ).
Next door is house number 10, an office building built after the fall of the Wall . All other buildings on the city side that are located between Reitbahnstrasse and Rosenstrasse near Ammonstrasse are residential buildings built in the 1950s and 1960s and belong to the side streets. The next building on Ammonstraße is the ten-story residential building at number 66. Numbers 70 to 74 are assigned to the adjoining World Trade Center Dresden , an office and business complex built from 1993 to 1996 in which, among other things, the Comödie Dresden , the Dresden City Libraries and the Saxony City Railway Company have their headquarters. Between Freiberger and Ehrlichstrasse is the new building of the Elsa Fenske Home , which was built in 1995 instead of the Semperschen Maternihospital wing .
Ammonstrasse 25, where the company Regionalverkehr Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge has its headquarters, is one of the only four buildings on the landward side of the street (odd house numbers) . It is in the vicinity of the bus parking lot that emerged from an old bus station. Another building there is the Ammonhof (house number 35). a. serves as the broadcasting house of Radio Dresden and the headquarters of the Saxony radio package .
