Surname
Durlacher Allee has been called Durlacher Chaussee since 1858 . In 1871 the street was renamed Durlacher Landstrasse , in 1886 it was finally renamed Durlacher Allee. Between 1933 and 1945 the street was called Robert-Wagner-Allee , named after the NSDAP Gauleiter of Baden, Robert Wagner .
history
The historic country road between the older cities of Durlach and Mühlburg ran south of the present-day avenue at Gottesaue Castle before the city was founded in Karlsruhe (1715) . The course of Durlacher Allee goes back to the Landgraben . The western part of the castle from Gottesaue Castle to the Alb in Mühlburg was built in 1588 as part of the construction of the castle, initially as a drainage canal. In 1768 the ditch with the stone canal was extended to the east as far as the Pfinz . In addition to draining the Pfinz, this section of the canal also served to transport building materials from Durlach and Grötzingen to the expanding city of Karlsruhe.
Around the time the stone canal was built, Durlacher Allee was laid to the north of it; it served as an important connecting route towards Durlach. In 1772 the Durlacher Tor was built at the western end of the poplar avenue. From 1824 two cast-iron pipes ran along Durlacher Allee, which transported spring water from the Durlacher Brunnenhaus to Karlsruhe. The water pipes were in use until the Durlacher Wald waterworks were completed in 1871.
In 1875 the Durlacher Tor was demolished as the traffic volume increased steadily. Shortly afterwards, on January 21, 1877, the first horse-drawn tram line in Karlsruhe was opened, leading from Gottesaue Castle west to the Mühlburger Tor. Four years later, in 1881, the railway network was supplemented by a steam tram line to the east, from Durlacher Tor to Durlach. In 1900 the horse-drawn railway line to the Mühlburger Tor and the steam railway line to Durlach were switched to electrical operation.
Until the end of the 19th century, today's Oststadt was not yet developed as a building area. To the north of Durlacher Allee there were kitchen gardens , to the south of it the municipal and Jewish cemeteries and some military facilities. From around 1885 a new residential and industrial area was built. In 1887 the city slaughterhouse was put into operation after a two-year construction period. In 1891 the company Parfümerie- und Toilettenseifenfabrik Wolff & Sohn GmbH opened a new production facility between Durlacher Allee and Gerwigstraße, at the level of Veilchenstraße, which was closed in 1974.
In 1901 the Catholic Church of St. Bernhard and in 1907 the Luther Church on Durlacher Allee were inaugurated. The measuring station was laid out in 1912 between Durlacher Allee and the former East Gas Works and was used for the first time for the Karlsruhe mess. In 1930 Gottesauerplatz was laid out on a former parade ground.
In 1937 it was decided to redesign Durlacher Allee. The road was raised in parts by backfilling a dam and two bridges were built over the motorway and the Rhine Valley Railway. The road was also widened.
In 1991 a ramp for the dual system light rail from the tram tracks of Durlacher Allee to Durlacher Bahnhof was put into operation. The tram underpass, which runs for a length of 360 meters under the intersection of Durlacher Allee and Ostring, was used from 1997. The part of the east ring north of Durlacher Allee was released in 1998.
As part of the implementation of the combined solution , construction work has been taking place at the western end of Durlacher Allee since 2011 for the Durlacher Tor underground station and the eastern ramp. The ramp running along Durlacher Allee is to begin underground directly to the east of the underground station, reach the surface at Bernhardstrasse and end at Buntestrasse or Gottesauer Platz.
