The Bismarckstraße ( Danish : Bismarcksgade ) is a main street in Flensburg - Jürgensby . It begins at Hafermarkt not far from downtown Flensburg and ends at the Fruerlund district , where it turns into Mürwiker Straße , which continues to the Mürwik district .

background

St. Jürgen was incorporated as early as 1874 . Since the beginning of the 20th century, Flensburg began to grow increasingly (see population development in Flensburg ). In the suburb of Mürwik , numerous military buildings for the Imperial Navy have been built since the beginning of the century . In 1900, Jürgensgaard was incorporated, making the entire area of Jürgensby part of the city since then. By the Hafermarkt outgoing northeast trending, centuries old road link which previously the Jürgensbyer area by means of the Jürgensgaarder road opened up as well as the Bach road , the bridge over the Kiel railway and Lautrupsbach in the range Mühleholz , further into the Fruerlunder road after Klosterholz and Twedter wood led , no longer met the new requirements. The road was in such poor condition that the navy from the torpedo station in Mürwik used a steamer called “Wiking” and a traffic boat called “Grauer Esel” so that their soldiers could visit the city. Therefore, a new road connection was planned, which was built on the Naval School Mürwik built from 1907 to 1910 .

The new street built by 1906, which initially only reached as far as Jürgensgaarder Straße, was initially called "breakthrough street" due to its visual impact in the area of ​​the oat market. In 1907 the street was named after Flensburg's honorary citizen Otto von Bismarck . Bismarck had visited Flensburg during the German-Danish War , more precisely in the period from April 21 to April 23, 1964, on the way to Düppel . According to legend, the first name in Flensburg after Bismarck is that of the Bismarck herring . Shortly before Bismarckstrasse got its name, Bismarck had already been honored by naming and designing the Bismarck fountain on Südermarkt , which no longer exists today. From Jürgensgaarder Strasse, a dirt road initially continued to extend Bismarckstrasse to Fruerlund. In 1910, Twedt and Engelsby as well as Fruerlund and Twedter Holz (which previously belonged to the Mürwiker area) were incorporated. Only after that, but by around 1911, was Bismarckstrasse completed to its current length of around one kilometer.

Since 1908, construction began along Bismarckstrasse. The construction of the Mürwik Naval School provided a strong impetus for the city's growth. Around 1908, a private client had high-quality apartment buildings built by the architect Karl Bernt in Flensburger Clädenstrasse , near Hafermarkt . There the private builder hoped to be able to meet the expected demand for higher marine batches. Since the naval school was finished later when the builder of the Clädenstrasse houses hoped for, the naval officers stayed away as customers and he went bankrupt beforehand. In 1911 the city bought the building 3.5 kilometers from the Naval School. Bremerplatz , located on Bismarckstrasse, received its name as early as 1909 . The adjacent St.-Jürgen-Platz only officially received its name in 1949. Little by little, the buildings grew along the road, further and further towards Mürwik. Many of these houses were also built according to plans by the architect Karl Bernt. At the beginning of the street, the houses mostly have a plastered facade. The last section of the residential development on Bismarckstrasse was a red brick building. A large number of the buildings along Bismarckstrasse are now listed buildings .

As the city grew, the street gradually became an urban street . In connection with Bismarckstrasse, additional roads were built and expanded. The Parsevalstrasse , which leads to St. Jürgen's Church , and the Adelbyer Kirchenweg , which leads to Adelby and the local Sankt Johannis Church , became important roads going off from Bismarckstrasse . At the northeast end of Bismarckstrasse is the Devil's Bridge, which belongs to the street . The further road to Mürwik was built later (see Mürwiker Straße ). After the construction of Bismarckstrasse, a line of the Flensburg tram was set up, which ran along Bismarckstrasse until the early 1960s. Various bus lines then replaced the tram in this area. Bus lines that come from the central bus station in Flensburg and travel along Bismarckstraße are now line 3 and line 7.

Devil's bridge

The Devil's Bridge on the evening of January 1st, 2014
The so-called devil's hole, the tunnel portal of the bridge

The original Devil's Bridge over the Lautrupsbach was a little further east from today's bridge. Where the bridge in question got its name from is unclear. Legends about devil's bridges , which are also fishing , tell of cursed riders who dared to ride their horses, mocked the devil and ultimately fell into the depths at the said bridges. According to local speculations, horses are said to have behaved strangely at the Devil's Bridge and a mysterious bridge collapse should have occurred. The original Flensburg Devil's Bridge existed until 1911. After the construction of Bismarckstraße, a new bridge was built in 1911, which was again called Devil's Bridge. The Kiel Railway ran through the so-called "Devil's Hole" that belonged to the bridge until 1927 . Further railway tracks led a little further south, below the bridge, through the Lautrupsbach valley. Since the bridges form the last section of the road on Bismarckstrasse, the Devil's Bridge is still sometimes called the Bismarck Bridge. A rare, former name for the bridge was also "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Brücke", since Mürwiker Straße, which connects to Bismarckstraße, was originally called Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße . The Bismarck staircase leading down to the bridge leading into Lautrupsbachtal, got its name by the way officially in the year 1919th

In 1953 the last train tracks below the Teufelsbrücke were dismantled. In 1954, the north road leading through Lautrupstal was opened for car traffic. On the morning of April 28, 1960, the previous Devil's Bridge was blown up because it was dilapidated. Previously, a makeshift bridge had been built by pioneers of the Bundeswehr , the weight of which had been tested with a tank before it was opened to traffic. Then a new Devil's Bridge was built ( Lage ). The new bridge should cost 820,000 marks. The height of the passage opening to the north street, which was previously 7.50 meters, should increase to 16.50 meters. In the spring of 1961, the new bridge, 34 meters long and 16 meters wide, was completed. The Teufelsloch had apparently been filled in during the course of the new bridge construction. At the beginning of the 1990s it was exposed again and renovated. Since then, the Lautrupsbach and a footpath have led through the Teufelsloch.
