Eberhard-Hoesch-Strasse (Düren)
.jpg)
The Eberhard Hoesch road in Düren , North Rhine-Westphalia , was a main thoroughfare. Today it is a normal urban street .
Eberhard-Hoesch-Straße started earlier at Friedrich-Ebert-Platz and then led south to the exit from the town. The course of the road leading to the outskirts was as follows: starting at Friedrich-Ebert-Platz, then turning diagonally to the right shortly before Oststraße (the sloping house front can still be seen today), then over the street “Im Eschfeld”, crossing Römerstraße / Frankenstraße , in today's Eberhard-Hoesch-Straße to Zülpicher Straße. The whole street had the uniform name "Eberhard-Hoesch-Straße". Today only the section between Römerstrasse / Frankenstrasse and Zülpicher Strasse has this name. A large section of the road consists of one lane with a tree-lined central strip about seven meters wide in between.
history
The street is named after Eberhard Hoesch (1827–1907), a manufacturer who co-founded Hoesch AG in Dortmund. The Beautification Association, founded in 1869, planned a promenade from Arnoldsweilerstraße to the north across the city to the southern Zülpicher Straße. The street was completed in 1877 and was named Vereinsstraße north (today Schoellerstraße ) to Kölnplatz (today Friedrich-Ebert-Platz) and then Vereinsstraße south to Zülpicher Straße. It was named after Eberhard Hoesch in 1914. It was not until the 1960s that Eberhard-Hoesch-Strasse was divided and partially renamed.
