The Ellerstraße is a 1.2 km long east-west traffic artery in the North Rhine-Westphalian state capital Dusseldorf . It begins shortly after the border to the Friedrichstadt district of Düsseldorf and leads through Oberbilk , where it ends at Kölner Straße . The road was completed on February 8, 1870 and named after the then still independent municipality of Eller .
Course and street description
The street begins at an intersection with the streets Helmholtzstraße / Harkortstraße as an extension of Mintropstraße. From here it runs eastwards as a two-lane road to Kölner Straße.
"Free space for movement"
Right at the beginning, Ellerstrasse runs under an artistically elaborate railway bridge. The design began on March 6, 2010, when the free cultural scene association “Freiräume für Movement” provided unauthorized graffiti images to a 25-meter-long section as part of a street festival .
On July 9, 2011, the entire underpass was redesigned during a second street festival.
traffic
Ellerstrasse has been used as an alternative route to Kruppstrasse since the construction of an underground tunnel between 1994 and 2002, which in some cases caused severe traffic disruption on Kölner Strasse, and after the subsequent narrowing of Kölner Strasse began in 2004.
Right at the beginning, Ellerstraße is crossed by a railway bridge, the tracks of which flow into Düsseldorf Central Station , and bus routes are used.
The bus lines 721 and 722 of the Rheinbahn travel the entire Ellerstrasse. The tram line 706 crosses Ellerstraße on Kruppstraße. The U74, U77 and U79 light rail lines stop at the junction with Kölner Straße in the Ellerstraße underground station .
