Budapester Strasse (Hamburg)
The Budapest street is a main road in Hamburg's St. Pauli . It is part of the federal highway 4 .
It runs from the eastern end of the Reeperbahn at Millerntor or Millerntorplatz to the New Horse Market and is continued behind it in the junction of Shoulder Blade and Schanzenstraße .
On the western side of the street there is predominantly residential development, along the eastern side the Heiligengeistfeld extends , with large individual buildings from various institutions (including Telekom , the Millerntor Stadium and the St. Pauli indoor swimming pool of the Bäderland Hamburg ) and side extensions on the edge the former Zentralviehmarkthalle (corner of Neuer Kamp ) have been built.
Originally it was a country road from Millerntor to Eimsbüttel and called "Eimsbütteler Straße". About one kilometer north in the independent town of Altona / Elbe, which was independent until 1938, it had a namesake in almost the same direction, who branched off from the street Knie.
In 1946 the “Hamburgische” Eimsbütteler Strasse was renamed “Ernst-Thälmann-Strasse” (after Ernst Thälmann , until 1933 chairman of the Communist Party of Germany ). It was given its current name on January 16, 1956, under the influence of the Hungarian people's uprising against the Soviet oppressors.
In 2014, an average of 30,000 vehicles drove on Budapester Strasse every working day.
