The Biebricher Allee is a southern arterial road of the Hessian state capital Wiesbaden . It has trees on both sides of the street for almost its entire length. Between the junction with Fischerstraße and the crossing of the A66 , it has parallel side streets that serve to develop the residential buildings on the edge of the road.

It is named after today's district of Biebrich , as the street leads there from the Wiesbaden city center.

Course of the road

The Henkellsfeld on Biebricher Allee

The Biebricher Allee begins as a continuation of the Adolfsallee leading out of Wiesbaden city center (from which, however, no direct passage is possible for car traffic) west of the main station at Kaiser-Friedrich-Ring (1st ring), which is part of the B 54 . It first leads through the district southeast and climbs south to the Mosbacher Berg before it crosses the Konrad-Adenauer-Ring (2nd ring). Then it leads through Adolfshöhe , a district in the local district of Biebrich . The road descends again, crosses the Aartalbahn with a flyover at the level of the Landesdenkmal station at the monument of the same name for Adolph I. It leads along the Henkellsfeld through the Mosbacher Sande , made famous by the Mosbacher Löwen , and crosses at the junction “Wiesbaden- Biebrich “the A 66 and then the right Rhine route before it meets Äppelallee and Kasteler Straße at Herzogsplatz . The continuation to Biebrich is called Straße der Republik .

history

State monument

In 1744, Prince Karl moved the residence of the princes and later dukes of Nassau from Usingen to Biebrich , after the expansion of the Biebrich Castle had already progressed well. There was therefore a need for a direct connection to Wiesbaden and the city ​​palace there . The Mosbacher Weg has linked the two places for centuries . A dirt road, Neue Mosbacher Straße , was built between 1749 and 1752 as a direct connection . Simultaneously with the start of construction of the Kurhaus , the path to the Chaussee was expanded and paved in 1808. In 1854/55 the path was widened to its present size and provided with a solid ceiling, in 1856/57 a pedestrian path was added on the western side and a bridle path on the eastern side, and the wide road was planted with four rows of chestnut trees , including Duke Adolph the Had seedlings come from Holland. In April 1856, the innkeeper Caspar Prinz from Wiesbaden received permission to run an inn on the hill at today's intersection with the 2nd Ring  ⊙ , which was called Adolph's Höhe . With the end of the Duchy of Nassau in 1866, the district boundary on the Adolfshöhe became the city limits, on the Wiesbaden side the avenue was now called Biebricher Straße or Biebricher Chaussee , on the Biebricher side it was called Wiesbadener Allee . Around 1870 the first residential quarters were built on the hill, until the First World War buildings of historicism such as the Villa Schnitzler were built .

In 1889 the first steam tram of the Wiesbaden tram was set up across the Biebricher Allee to the banks of the Rhine, which was converted into an electric tram in 1900. From around 1897 the villa area Adolfshöhe and the Waldstrasse area emerged as new districts, with which Wiesbaden and Biebrich were structurally connected. The Biebrich water tower was also built here. In 1907 the Landesdenkmal station at the underpass of the Aartalbahn under the Biebricher Allee was put into operation, which was located directly at the state monument in honor of Adolph I, which was only inaugurated in 1909 . This is surrounded by the Richard Wagner systems. Also in 1909, the Henkell Sektkellerei was located directly opposite, which also received a siding. The First World War ended the brisk construction activity along Biebricher Allee. On October 1, 1926, Biebrich was incorporated. At the end of 1929, an area on the avenue was given to the non-profit corporation for salaried workers' homes (Gagfah), which built smaller homes. Due to the Second World War , tram traffic was stopped at the beginning of 1945 and then not resumed. Relics of the tracks are still under the asphalt of Biebricher Allee. From 1949, line A of the Wiesbaden trolleybus took over passenger transport on the route, and since 1961 only diesel buses have been in use, most of which are operated by ESWE .
