Bismarckstrasse (Ludwigshafen am Rhein)
The Bismarck Street is one of the oldest streets in the city of Ludwigshafen .
It is located in the Mitte district and thus belongs to the southern inner city district . Bismarckstrasse begins at Berliner Platz and runs from there parallel to the Rhine in a northerly direction to Rathausplatz .
It was laid out in the middle of the 19th century, when Ludwigshafen was founded, as one of the city's most important business and traffic routes and developed into a splendid boulevard. The street has been named after the German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck since 1885 . Most of the sophisticated buildings located there, most of which came from the Wilhelminian era , were destroyed by the air raids in World War II. That is why Bismarckstrasse is now dominated by newer commercial buildings that were built in the 1950s. The street between Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße and Rathausplatz is a pedestrian zone. The Ludwigshafen City Library is located in the building with house numbers 44-48 , and in the rear building, the “Mayor Ludwig Reichert House”, the seat of the Ludwigshafen Art Association .
