From the Plärrer, the Fürther Straße leads straight in a west-northwest direction to Fürth, initially touching the Kleinweidenmühle district in a slight curve to the northwest , while the Südliche Fürther Straße leads directly to the Plärrer. Südliche Fürther Straße and, as an extension, Fürther Straße form the border between the districts of Kleinweidenmühle and Gostenhof . After the Gostenhof underground station , the intersection of Fürther Strasse with Willstrasse and Kernstrasse follows. The systematic use of traffic signals in Nuremberg began at this intersection in 1952 .
At the eastern entrance of the Bärenschanze underground station there is a memorial to the opening of the Ludwigsbahn , which has found its place there after various relocations. The Palace of Justice , where the Nuremberg trials took place from 1945 to 1949, is located between the Bärenschanze underground station and the Maximilianstraße underground station . Today it houses the Nuremberg District Court , the Nuremberg-Fürth Regional Court and the Nuremberg Higher Regional Court . The federal road ring around Nuremberg, federal road 4 R , crosses Fürther Strasse as Maximilianstrasse west of the underground station, from now on the road runs in the Eberhardshof district . From here on, Fürther Straße is still dedicated as a federal road . A little further to the west, after the confluence with Schumannstrasse, the subway reaches the surface via a ramp. The Eberhardshof underground station is located between the Quelle GmbH department store, which was closed at the end of 2009, and the former Triumph-Adler and AEG plants . After the U-Bahn station turnaround , the street crosses under the Ringbahn . In the Muggenhof district , the subway changes on another ramp to an elevated viaduct. The Muggenhof underground station is located above the intersection with Sigmund- and Adolf-Braun-Straße. To the south of the confluence with Dooser Straße is the Nürnberg-Doos train station; the Ludwigsbahn and the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn met at the forerunner, the Fürther Kreuzung train station . Where the Fürther Straße crosses the Frankenschnellweg , there used to be the bridge over the Ludwig Canal . Shortly before the city limits underground station , Fürther Straße in Nuremberg changes to Nürnberger Straße in Fürth.
history
Fürther Straße was created on the initiative of Karl August von Hardenberg . Until then, traffic between the cities of Nuremberg and Fürth was handled via Bärenschanzstrasse or from Neutor via St. Johannis and Schniegling . Since it was about Nuremberg streets, the imperial city of Nuremberg also received the revenue from tolls and escort . The Prussian Ansbach-Bayreuth wanted to establish a further connection between the two cities by building a road and to demonstrate its own power. The construction of the street beginning in front of the Spittlertor strengthened the economic position of Fürth.
Traffic history
In 1835 the Bavarian Ludwig Railway ran from Nuremberg to Fürth for the first time. It shortened the travel time between the two cities and operated until 1922. The railway line laid the foundation for the main artery between the two cities. In 1844 the Fürth intersection was built , a complicated traffic junction for the time. Fürther Strasse and its production facilities developed along the railway line. In 1881 the Bremen merchant Heinrich Alfes opened a horse-drawn tram route to the Fürth Obstmarkt when the Nuremberg-Fürth tram network was first expanded , and it ran parallel to the Ludwigsbahn on Fürther Straße. The “white line” between Maxfeld and Fürth was the test route for the introduction of the electric tram in Nuremberg and Fürth from May 2, 1896.
The tram contributed significantly to the end of the Ludwig Railway. The construction of the U1 underground line led to the end of tram operations on Fürther Straße. The tram depot at the intersection with Maximilianstrasse existed for longer, in the end it could only be reached via Maximilianstrasse and was finally closed completely. In 2009 the last remains of the tram track were demolished.
Today the subway stations Gostenhof, Bärenschanze, Maximilianstraße, Eberhardshof and Muggenhof are located in Fürther Straße .
With the inauguration of the Frankenschnellweg , Fürther Strasse has lost its outstanding importance for road traffic.
The full length of long-distance road 8 used to run through Fürther Straße (from 1934 under the name Reichsstraße 8; from 1949 Bundesstraße 8).
Industrial history
In the 1880s, in the course of industrialization, a lot of construction activity began along Fürther Strasse. While representative town houses of the Nuremberg hops traders as well as residential and commercial buildings such as the Hansa-Haus were massing near the Plärrer, production facilities were established out of town. These included some toy manufacturers, later the Nuremberg motorcycle industry developed here with well-known names such as Zündapp and Hercules . AEG had a home appliance factory in Fürther Strasse, which was finally closed in 2007. The Arcandor bankruptcy led to the closure of the Quelle mail order company and distribution warehouse in December 2009. Triumph Adler moved its headquarters from Fürther Straße to Südwestpark and closed the production facility.
Structural change
Numerous small companies have settled on the Triumph-Adler and AEG premises. The upheaval is not yet over. The further use of the Quelle real estate is still open.
