The Angel Straße ( Dan. Angelbogade ) is one of the original main streets of the city of Flensburg . It leads from Südermarkt to Hafermarkt and is now a pedestrian zone with bus and bicycle lanes in the western part ; in the east the road is largely traffic-calmed .

location

Angelburger Straße is part of an ancient east-west connection between North Friesland and fishing . Today it fills the section between Südermarkt and Hafermarkt in Flensburg's old town . The western part belongs to the parish of St. Nikolai , the eastern part to the Johannisviertel , which actually belongs to the fishing region. The road has a clear gradient from both endpoints. The lowest point is in the middle, where the district boundary and the Hafenspitze used to be and where the traffic lane of the old B 199 runs today . The latter cuts Angelburger Strasse into two parts more clearly than ever before. This impression is reinforced by the railway bridge on the east side.

There are no side streets in the western half. The street is divided in the middle by the B 199, which is called Süderhofenden to the north and Friedrich-Ebert-Straße to the south . With the construction of Friedrich-Ebert-Straße, the former Mühlengang side street was repealed. In the east, Viktoriastraße, laid out in 1882–84, flow into Angelburger Straße from the south and the very old streets Süderfischerstraße and Johanniskirchhof (access to Johanniskirche ) from the north .

history

middle Ages

The name of one of the oldest streets in Flensburg was first mentioned by name in 1436. Contrary to what the name suggests, at least nowadays there is no castle to be discovered in the area. Therefore it is assumed in some cases that the name refers to the inhabitants of the fishing landscape (Danish Angelboer ), because the ale word “Bo” can be translated as “residents”, which means the street should actually be called “Angelbürger Straße”, whereby however, the "Bo" in the castle name Eddebo , a castle complex which is not far in the Marienhölzung, is then transferred with "Burg", which makes it clear that the name could obviously mean two things. There are also assumptions that a castle once stood nearby.

At the tip of the Flensburg Fjord , into which the Scherrebek flows here, there has been the border between two Harden since the early Middle Ages , the Wiesharde in the west and the Husbyharde in the east. Presumably there was also a customs office here for a while, which may have played a role in the development of the city (see Dammhof area ). To the east of this, the later Johannisviertel was initially a fishing settlement that evidently developed into a small trading center. In the 12th century it got its own house of worship, the Johanniskirche, which was probably initially a branch of the Adelbyer Johanniskirche , which had the same patron saint. It is not certain whether the tower castle that can still be seen in today's city arms was not far from the Hafenspitze. It is also uncertain whether Flensburg, which was first mentioned in writing in 1248 and was destroyed in the fratricidal war between King Erik Plovpenning and Duke Abel , is about this settlement or whether several of the three other founding cores of the city already existed.

By the end of the 13th century at the latest, the focus of the growing city of Flensburg shifted to the west bank of the fjord, because access to the port was much easier here. While the two inner settlement centers around St. Nikolai and St. Marien became the seat of most of the merchants, the Johannisviertel, like the Ramsharde in the north, developed into a suburb of the petty bourgeoisie. The quarter was not enclosed by the city wall, but received a palisade fortification. As a result, Angelburger Strasse became the location of two city gates, namely the Mühlentor as the east exit of the Nikolaiviertel near the original Hafenspitze and the Johannistores as the actual city exit to the east, immediately in front of the oat market that will later be created.

Modern times

The name Angelburger Straße was only valid for the western part of the street until the 19th century. To the east of the mill gate, the street was called Große Johannisstraße or Große St.-Johannis-Straße until 1881 . Numerous merchants ' courtyards were built in the west, although they were less elongated than those on the east side of Holm , Großer Strasse and Norderstrasse . The courtyards on the north side originally had access to the harbor, those on the south side to the Kleiner Mühlenteich .

Even if the Hafenspitze increasingly silted up, Angelburger Strasse remained one of the most important streets in the city. In 1854 the first railway opened in what was then the Duchy of Schleswig . It led over a bridge over Angelburger Strasse, which - renewed in 1929 - still exists today. In 1881 the western half of the road was opened up by the horse-drawn tram , the track of which ended in the middle of the road, just east of the railway bridge. The concession for this railway was not extended beyond 1906. From 1907 the electric tram operated here under the control of the city, from 1912 with two lines, the endpoints of which were much further to the northeast.

During the imperial era, some of the historic gabled houses were replaced by higher structures. In addition, in 1882, at the expense of houses 50–54, Viktoriastraße was breached as a new connection to the Fischerhof district, which was incorporated in 1875 .

20th century

In 1909 the Flensburg rum trading house Hansen moved the company headquarters to Angelburger Str. 30–32 / Friedrich-Ebert-Str. 2. In the 1920s and 1930s, the division of the street in the middle was strengthened when, on the one hand, the railway systems around the old main station were dismantled, but the previously idyllic Süderhofenden promenade and the southern extension of it at the expense of Mühlengang, the The former royal watermill and the Kleiner Mühlenteich (small mill pond) were expanded to create a new thoroughfare, Friedrich-Ebert-Straße. At the same time, Angelburger Strasse lost tram line 1 in 1927, the southern end of which was relocated to the new central station .

Significant changes occurred after the Second World War , when there were plans to expand a car-friendly city in Flensburg, which was largely spared from the bombing . Although the designs by city planner Bruno Wehner , which had planned the complete destruction of large parts of the old town, were not implemented, but Angelburger Straße was increasingly adapted to the increasing needs of motorized individual transport . In 1957 tram line 3 was replaced by buses. A little later, the street was expanded into a partially multi - lane one - way street in an east-west direction.

As a result of the traffic planning of the 1950s, which was still being pursued, the Johannisviertel deteriorated more and more. Several houses were also demolished on the north side of Angelburger Strasse. The vacant lots on lots 55–57 and 79 f.-Hafermarkt 3 became parking lots . Only in the 1980s did a rethink to save this part of the city gradually begin. The western part of the street, on the other hand, was strongly influenced by the development of the city in the western old town. In 1960 the abandoned company headquarters of Hansen Rum was torn down. In the western part of Angelburger Strasse, several commercial buildings that exceeded previous standards were built in the 1960s and 1970s. In the spring of 1975, a newly built Flensburg C&A branch was opened on the site on which the rum trading house Hansen was previously located and which still exists today. In the 1990s, this section of road was traffic-calmed. In 1996 Angelburger Strasse was redesigned to a pedestrian street.

Today's appearance

Angelburger Strasse is still a typical inner-city shopping street today. However, the halves, which are still separated by the traffic lane, differ quite markedly from one another. The western part has been a pedestrian zone since 2007 with a bus and bicycle lane in the middle. The southern entrance of the Flensburg Galerie , the largest inner-city shopping center, is located on lots 17-19 . This also extends further east to the street, but has no further entrance there. Most of the shops on Angelburger Straße belong to Germany-wide or international chain stores. However, there are also some vacancies . In the eastern half of the street there are still a few smaller owner-managed shops and, above all, restaurants. However, there have been more and more vacancies here since the 1990s.

Angelburger Straße, which is used by several bus routes in an east-west direction, is still one of the most important axes of the Flensburg bus network. Lines 10 and 11 run through the full length of the street. Lines 3, 7 and 13 come from the Hafermarkt, as do the eastern overland connections via the Süderhofenden in the direction of the ZOB. In the opposite direction, these lines run in the western part of the street to Südermarkt and from there via Friedrich-Ebert-Straße and Heinrichstraße back to Hafermarkt. Coming from the central bus station, lines 1, 2, 4, 5, 12, 14, 15 and several overland lines also go through the western Angelburger Straße to Südermarkt. The Angelburger Straße stop is therefore the most important transfer stop in the city, along with the ZOB, Südermarkt and Hafermarkt.

Remarkable buildings

The half-timbered house at Angelburger Straße 24 is a cultural monument in Flensburg's old town .

Until the first 2000s , Flensburg's oldest pastry shop, Café Maaß from 1871, was located at Angelburger Strasse 4.

Despite numerous losses in the early days of the company and even more in the 1960s and 1970s, quite a few historic gabled houses have been preserved on Angelburger Strasse.

  • House No. 2 is one of the main works of classicism in the Fördestadt. It was designed by Axel Bundsen in 1804 . In addition to essential parts of the facade, the interior of the stairwell and numerous stucco work from the time of construction have been preserved. The latter probably come from the workshop of Francesco Antonio Tadey .
  • The houses nos. 22 and 24, which are quite similar to one another, received their current half- hip gables around 1800, but their core dates back to the 16th century. The half-timbered side front of house no. 24, which is used as a restaurant, is remarkable.
  • The pointed gable house No. 73 with its two-storey, flat, round Utluchten also dates from the 16th century. The gable was given its current shape at the end of the 17th century. Some of the half-timbered courtyard wings have also been preserved. Today the building is also used as a restaurant.
  • Other notable historical gabled houses, some with preserved courtyard buildings, are (albeit in a different state of preservation) the numbers 13, 15, 44 (the historical restaurant Schwarzer Walfisch ), 51 (the Thormählen-Haus ), 56 and 78.

The most serious losses include the Queen's house (No. 17), which is said to have once belonged to Queen Dorothea , the stately patrician house No. 19, which was demolished in 1936, the Indigo Farm (No. 28) demolished in 1974 , the remarkable half-timbered houses No. 46 and 65 as well as several other gabled houses and courtyard buildings.

The house address Angelburger Straße 31-33, which is located on the north side of the western half of the street, is said to have served Margarethe I as accommodation around 1400 . The Duburg was built under her in Flensburg . In 1412 she died on a ship in the Flensburg harbor (see also the legend of the death of Queen Margaret in the Flensburg harbor ). Today, however, there is a new building at the aforementioned address in Angelburger Strasse.
