history

Memorial plaque for Rudolf Koch

The name goes back to the Buchrainweiher, which is not far from the end of the road in the city forest. Before the road was built, Buchrainweg was a corridor boundary and is made up of beech and rain . The route is first mentioned in 1773. The development plan was drawn up by Hugo Eberhardt (1874–1959).

use

Although not part of Offenbacher Westend, the street and especially the eastern part is one of the residential streets with an upscale residential area. Many personalities have lived there. The economist Erich Gutenberg lived in house number 20 in the 1960s. At house number 29, a plaque designed by Karlgeorg Hoefer commemorates the designer and type designer Rudolf Koch , who lived there from 1908 until his death in 1934.

House No. 135 is home to the Wilhelm Schramm Foundation for the elderly and nursing home , built in the so-called "Offenbach Art Nouveau" style by Hugo Eberhardt. The painter Karl Friedrich Lippmann lived in house number 161, and Klaus Vack coordinated its activities there at the first seat of the German Easter March movement .

Development

The development of the eastern part originates largely from the Wilhelminian era and is mostly two to three storeys on the northern side of the street and mostly higher on the southern side. Many buildings were built by the construction companies H. and L. Nagel and the Beck brothers .

The northern side is loosened up by individual villas. An outstanding villa stands at the confluence with Blumenstrasse, which was designed by the church builder Dominikus Böhm (1880–1955). At the intersection with Taunusring is a residential complex made up of two high-rise buildings. After that the development consists only of single houses.

Today the eastern part of the development along the street is a listed building as a whole.
