Burgallee (Hanau)
The Burgallee is the westernmost of three centrally on the central projection of the castle Philippsruhe in Hanau oriented avenues .
course
It runs in a north-westerly direction from the castle and connects it with Wilhelmsbad , a late-baroque spa complex with an English landscape park . It crosses the Frankfurter Landstrasse, the Maintaler Landstrasse, the Frankfurt-Hanauer Eisenbahn and the Hochstädter Landstrasse. The destination of the Burgallee is the castle ruins of Wilhelmsbad, an artificial ruin, staffage architecture for a small, by Wilhelm IX. Small castle built by Hanau . The name of the street is derived from it.
The other two avenues that run centrally towards the central projection of the Philippsruhe Palace are Philippsruher Allee (from the city of Hanau, from the east) and the Kastanienallee from the Fasanerie in Wilhelmsbad, from the north.
Development
The avenue was initially planted with poplars , which were replaced by pyramid poplars in 1845 . Today the two rows of trees consist of different trees, but accompany the entire course of the road.
South of Frankfurter Landstrasse, the avenue has a closed development. The original predominantly single house development, partly villas from the turn of the century before last, was partly destroyed during the air raids on Hanau in the Second World War and by the disdain for the architecture of historicism in the post-war period. The house numbers 15, 20, 52-56 and 132 are designated as cultural monuments of it today adding the waterworks come III (no. 119) and the reception building of the railway station Hanau-Wilhelmsbad (no. 127).
The Herbert-Dröse-Stadion is located on the west side of the avenue, immediately south of the crossing with the railway .
