History and description

Page from the Hanover address book from 1942 with the owners and heads of household in what was then Dieselstrasse

In the course of industrialization , more and more companies had settled in Limmer before the founding of the German Empire . As a result, the population increased and with it the need for living space. So a road was finally redrawn over the property of the steam brick owner Rudolf Wessel (1825–1879) , who came from Bassum , in order to build the first residential area in Limmers. Today - doing a was listed - building ensemble with mostly gabled storey houses and small farms with associated small attachments such as miscarriage and small animal -Ställen. The group with the house numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 11 are today considered an early document of both workers' housing and the social upheaval in Limmer.

Even before 1901, the street was named Wesselstraße after the brickworks owner , before it was renamed Rudolfstraße in 1909 .

The street was renamed again in 1938 at the time of National Socialism . Since then it has been remembering the inventor of the diesel engine, the engineer Rudolf Diesel .
