The Bach road is predominantly a residential collector road in the district called composer area between Osterbek , Schleiden Park , Hamburger mile and Winterhuder way . It crosses the Hamburg district of Barmbek-Süd in a south-north direction, with the exception of a small section in the extreme northwest, which belongs to the district of Uhlenhorst . The northernmost 100 meters including the Bachstraße bridge over the Osterbek are part of the federal highway 5 .
The street is characterized by the fact that there is no uniform building fabric, but old buildings from the turn of the 20th century can be found alongside evidence of the reconstruction after the Second World War and a few new buildings. With the exception of the section of Bundesstraße 5, which has been expanded to four lanes, Bachstraße only has one lane in each direction. The sections between Weidestraße and Martensweg as well as between Heinrich-Hertz-Straße and Bostelzeile are designated as one-way streets heading south.
Name, history and history
The Bachstraße derives its name from the Osterbek, on whose bank it ends. Due to an agreement made in 1744 between the Hospital of the Holy Spirit as the Barmbek landlord and the Hamburg council on the border regulation between the villages of Barmbek and Uhlenhorst , a border ditch was dug that drained into the Osterbek. There was already an old country road between the Uhlenhorst and the Rönnhaide, which was officially named Bachstraße in 1860. By 1846 the road had been expanded and paved. The name was later erroneously referred to the composer Johann Sebastian Bach , so that the streets and paths of the quarter that were later named were often named after well-known composers (e.g. Beethovenstrasse, Mozartstrasse, Schumannstrasse). During the National Socialist era, the name was changed to Sebastian-Bach-Straße in 1940 , but this was revised again after the war, keeping in mind the original name.
In the south, Bachstrasse began directly on Hamburger Strasse. With the construction of the Hamburger Straße shopping center (today the “Hamburger Meile Shopping Center”), the beginning of the street was moved back to the newly built Bostelzeile at the end of the 1960s. The first part to Heinrich-Hertz-Straße is designated as a one-way street to the south, so that traffic from the Hamburger Meile flows over the Bostelzeile and not through the residential area. The August-Hermann-Francke-Schule is a Christian district school here, which is housed in a former commercial building. A little further north was a school across the street in building 44/46. Initially an auxiliary school was housed there, but in 1939 it was relocated to the building on Humboldtstrasse, where the Ilse Löwenstein School is now located. Then the flight model construction department of the vocational school 9 was moved there. The school building was destroyed in 1943 as part of Operation Gomorrah .
To the north of Heinrich-Hertz-Straße, Bachstraße can be used in both directions. To the north of the confluence of the street Beim Alten Schützenhof, there was a cinema from 1912 at number 72 , which was initially called the “Bach Theater” and had a capacity of 1,282 spectators. In 1932 it was renamed “Primus-Palast” and in 1938 “Olympia-Palast”. Destroyed in the bombing war in 1943, it was rebuilt after the war and reopened in 1948. In 1968 a second hall - called "Bambi" - was built. The cinema was closed in 1978 and partly demolished. After the "Sturzbach-Kino" used the remaining rooms for a short time in 1986, the remainder of the building was demolished in 1987 and apartments were built. The location of the former cinema can still be recognized today by the fact that the residential buildings there are set farther back from the street than the older neighboring buildings. Right behind the intersection with Beethovenstraße there is a large childcare facility at number 80 with the Bachstraße day care center. This was built starting in 1964 on behalf of the youth authority (today the Office for Family of the Authority for Labor, Social Affairs, Family and Integration ).
The former fire station from 1895 is located in the following section between Mozartstrasse and Martensweg at house number 98. It was in operation until 1991 and was then replaced by the new fire and rescue station in Barmbek on Maurienstraße. The building, the only monument on Bachstrasse, is now used by social institutions such as the Barmbek girls' club and the fire station day care center. South of the fire station was a school built in 1893, which - in contrast to the fire station - was destroyed in the bombing in 1943 and was not rebuilt later. A “health house” with a tuberculosis welfare center, a maternity care center and official offices for two school doctors was built on this property at the end of the 1950s. After its closure, apartments were built on the site at the beginning of the 21st century.
From Martensweg, Bachstraße is again a one-way street heading south to Herderstraße . It then leaves the densely populated residential area and, as a continuation of Herderstrasse coming from the south-west, becomes part of the multi-lane federal road 5 for around 150 meters . The Bachstraße ends at the Osterbek Canal , where there was originally a ford across the river to the Winterhude side. In the course of the Osterbek canalization, the Bachstrasse Bridge was built in 1904, which has since connected Bachstrasse with Barmbeker Strasse in the Winterhude district. In 1965 the Bachstrasse bridge was expanded to four lanes. Up until the 1960s, there was a machine factory (Schmidt & Söhne) on the corner of Herderstrasse, which had to give way to the four-lane expansion of Herderstrasse. An eight-story residential building with shops on the ground floor was built on the remaining area that was not needed for the road expansion. In house no. 155, on the corner of the Osterbek Canal, Carl Heinrich Rose founded the drugstore and herbalist "Carl H. Rose & Co." in 1893, which after the takeover by Hermann Laue in 1905 became the Hela Gewürzwerk Hermann Laue . Due to the widening of the street, the lanes leading into the city belong to the Uhlenhorst district at the north end.
Transportation
Between Weidestrasse and Beethovenstrasse, the vehicles of the city bus routes 172 and 173 drive into the city through Bachstrasse and serve three stops there (Herderstrasse, Mozartstrasse, Bachstrasse). The journeys in the direction of Barmbek train station are led through the parallel Schumannstrasse, as buses can hardly meet each other on one of the two streets due to the narrow street profile.
As early as the 1930s, the Hamburger Hochbahn operated a shuttle service that connected the pier on Bachstrasse with the Alster shipping line from Mühlenkamp to Jungfernstieg. On May 1, 1950, another Alsterschifffahrt service was set up on the connection from Mühlenkamp to Saarlandstrasse, which also served the Bachstrasse pier. This was later incorporated into line 52 (Jungfernstieg - Atlantic - Rabenstrasse - Uhlenhorster Fährhaus - Mühlenkamp - Bachstrasse - Saarlandstrasse). This passenger service in the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund existed until the spring of 1984. The pier on Bachstrasse, which in the meantime was still operated in round trips, was finally demolished in early 1997.
