The Charlottenstraße is a main thoroughfare in Heilbronn , which runs partly within the town and partly outside the built-up area and leads south out of Heilbronn.
Location and traffic
From Rathenauplatz, Charlottenstraße forms the southern continuation of Wilhelmstraße and leads as L1100 in the direction of Flein . At its southern end it turns into Heilbronner Straße. It has had her name since 1905 with a few interruptions.
Surname
Charlottenstrasse was named in 1905 after Charlotte Auguste von Bayern , Wilhelm I's first wife . Wilhelmstrasse and Wilhelmskanal in Heilbronn are named after her husband . In 1938 Charlottenstrasse was renamed Tiroler Strasse. In 1945 it got its old name back before it was named Marbacher Straße in 1947/48. Since 1948 it has been called Charlottenstrasse again.
history
Although Charlottenstrasse was only named in 1905, its course can be seen on much older maps and plans. There it is usually referred to with terms such as "to Flein" or "Weg von Flein". In an overview of the camps of the Herzoglich Würtembergischen Corps d'Armée near Hailbrunn on July 28, 1760 from the time of the campaign against Prussia, which is in the Baden-Württemberg State Archives , this traffic artery is known as "W. von Fleinheim ”.
The development of what is now the inner-city part of Charlottenstrasse began in the 19th century when the city expanded towards the south and industrial companies also settled in the south of Heilbronn. The siding of the Knorr company, for example, crossed Charlottenstrasse right next to house no. 6a.
Some buildings that used to be part of Charlottenstrasse now have different addresses. The house at Charlottenstrasse 12, for example, used to have the address Wilhelmstrasse 76, Charlottenstrasse 14 was previously Wilhelmstrasse 78. Today's house at Herderstrasse 27/1 was once Charlottenstrasse 24a.
The Heilbronn red light district established itself in the 1970s at Rathenauplatz at the northern end of Charlottenstrasse . It was particularly popular with the US soldiers stationed at the southern end of Charlottenstrasse in the Wharton Barracks . After the US soldiers withdrew in the 1990s, the city acquired some of the buildings that were once used as brothels and night bars, relocated the red light district to Hafenstrasse and renovated the buildings on Rathenauplatz. After the founding of the Südviertel citizens' initiative in 1999, the area around Rathenauplatz was also included in the “Socially Integrative City” redevelopment program in 2003.
Listed buildings and objects
Under monument protection are at the Charlotte Street just three items:
- The building at Charlottenstrasse 2 , the former Metro Bar , built as a hotel with a restaurant , was saved from the threat of demolition and renovated in 2009.
- The former Villa Stotz (No. 31), with its partially preserved enclosure and garden, is a listed building.
- The so-called Poland cross was erected on the site of the former Wharton Barracks commemorating Polish war victims from rubble. It was built in the period after the Second World War by former Polish forced laborers who were housed on this site. When the barracks buildings were demolished, it was moved to a green area on Charlottenstrasse. In the course of this redesign, a base plate with an explanatory inscription was added to the monument.

Disused buildings
Some buildings that survived the air raids on Heilbronn were demolished after the war, such as the house at Charlottenstrasse 29, which Dr. Carl Ackermann had belonged and was removed in 1965, as well as houses no. 4 and 6. These had become municipal property at the end of the 20th century and were demolished in 2002. The tracks of the Bottwartalbahn , which crossed Charlottenstraße at km 34.1 in order to reach Heilbronn Südbahnhof , are also no longer available .
In the 1920s, Johann Ritter ran a distillery at Charlottenstrasse 24. Ritter's company - he also ran a cardboard box factory - also owned today's house at Herderstrasse 27/1, at that time Charlottenstrasse 24a.
More buildings
The Heilbronn fire brigade is located on the corner of Charlottenstraße and Beethovenstraße with the postal address Beethovenstraße 29 .
The Wilhelm-Hauff-Schule, a primary and secondary school, is located at Charlottenstrasse 62. In addition, at the address Sontheimer Landwehr 85, the daycare center Charlottenstrasse is housed.
In the 1930s, barracks were built on the site at 185 Charlottenstrasse and the surrounding area. The German Wehrmacht put the new building into operation in 1936; In 1938 the facility, with a lion figure on the right gate post, was given the name “Priesterwaldkaserne”. Among other things, the army base administration was housed there. From 1945 to 1951 the facility was an IRO camp for displaced persons (Camp 625). In 1948 it was renamed Schwabenhof and in 1952 Wharton Barracks after it had been occupied by the US Army. After the US Army withdrew in 1992, asylum seekers were accommodated on the site. Finally, the former barracks was demolished and replaced by the Schwabenhof Business Park in 1999. The Wharton Barracks had also included the residential complexes built in the Herbert Hoover Settlement and in the John F. Kennedy Settlement in the post-war period; Most of these were not demolished, but continued to be used for residential purposes.
