Charlottenplatz (Stuttgart)
The Charlottenplatz is a square in Stuttgart . When the road network in Stuttgart was considerably expanded in the 1960s, the appearance of Charlottenplatz changed significantly when the B 14 and the B 27 intersected . For this purpose, the junction of the tram lines was moved underground and the name Stadtbahn was introduced.
location
Charlottenplatz is located in the south of downtown Stuttgart in the Mitte district . The B 14 runs roughly from south-southwest to north-northeast, the B 27 at this point from west-northwest to east-southeast. The street with the name " Planie " runs west towards Schloßplatz and was in the area of the boundaries of the old city, as the name suggests. The continuation of the plan to the southeast is called Charlottenstrasse.
Planie and Charlottenstrasse cross the “ Stadtautobahn ” B 14, which is part of the city ring south of the square called Hauptstätter Strasse and north of it Konrad-Adenauer-Strasse and which runs underground for through traffic at the intersections, with parallel feeder roads at ground level.
The section on Konrad-Adenauer-Straße is colloquially known as the “culture mile” due to the large number of museums and other cultural buildings. To the north of the square are the state parliament building and the New Palace , to the west is the old orphanage . To the south of the square is the Charlottenplatz skyscraper , with the Bohnenviertel adjoining it . To the east is the Wilhelmspalais , which housed the central library of the Stuttgart city library until it moved to its new building in October 2011 . The Stuttgart City Museum has been housed there since April 2018 .
The buildings and streets around Charlottenplatz belong to the two districts (101) Oberer Schlossgarten and (102) City Hall in the Stuttgart-Mitte district. The two districts of Heusteigviertel and Dobel are a bit away to the southeast and the Diemershalde to the northeast. These three districts are - raised compared to the city center - in the half-height position typical of Stuttgart . The B 27, which crosses the Dobel district in the direction of Bopser , is named Hohenheimer Straße after the “Olgaeck” , and further up it joins the Neue Weinsteige .
Transport-related importance
The Charlottenplatz is a four-story traffic structure . On the surface of the earth, federal highway 27 crosses the square in an east-west direction, two floors below federal highway 14 in a north-south direction. The upper of the two levels of the Charlottenplatz stop of the Stuttgart Stadtbahn is located between the levels for road traffic .
In addition to the main train station , Charlottenplatz is one of the hubs of the Stuttgart city railway. With eight regular and currently (as of 2017) ten tram lines, the Charlottenplatz stop is served by more lines than any other tram stop in Stuttgart.
In 2015, 74,660 passengers were counted at the tram stop on workdays.
| Part of the line network | line |
|---|---|
| Cross-valley lines (parallel to the B 27) | U 5 U 6 U 7 U 12 U 15 |
| Longitudinal valley lines (parallel to B 14) |
U 1 U 2 U 4 temporarily: U 9 U 14 at major events: U 11 towardsNeckarpark |
| Bus transport | SSB bus lines 42, 43 and 44 |
The U9 and U14 lines will run via the Charlottenplatz stop until at least 2019, as the light rail route between the Staatsgalerie and Hauptbahnhof stops has been interrupted due to construction work on Stuttgart 21 .
history
The square is named after Karoline Charlotte Auguste of Bavaria , first Crown Princess of Württemberg and later Empress of Austria. In the second half of the 1960s, as part of the expansion of the Hauptstätter Strasse and Konrad-Adenauer-Strasse, the square was tunnelled for car traffic. In the course of the repeatedly discussed cover of the B 14, a part of Konrad-Adenauer-Straße between the New Palace (academy garden) and Wilhelmspalais was covered with a concrete cover and greened in spring 2005.
The former High Charles School was located behind the New Palace, which is why the academy garden , which today borders the state parliament building, got its name.
