The Finkenhofstraße is a street in the Frankfurt district of Northrend .
location
The road begins at number 57 of the Oeder Weg and runs in a south-westerly direction to Eschersheimer Landstrasse , where it ends at number 38.
Origin of name
It is named after Georg Daniel Fink, who died in 1835 and who previously owned a farm in the area of today's Straße.
history
From 1804 to 1812 Frankfurt city fortifications were laid down. As a result, there was initial construction outside of the ramparts . In 1835 around three dozen families settled north of the Eschenheimer Tor between Eschersheimer Chaussee and Oeder Weg . In 1851 the first cross connection between the two streets was created, the cross street.
The city of Frankfurt began planning the road network in this area in the following years. In 1859 the lines of alignment of the Baustraße were established, in 1862 the Sömmeringstraße followed as an extension, in 1865 Finkenhofstraße and Fichardstraße were created, in 1872 the Heinestraße and the Lersnerstraße followed.
Around 100 houses were built in the new district in the 1850s and 1860s. Typically, these were suburban houses on a square base in the classicism style . Some of the houses from this era are still standing.
Special buildings
The late classicist villa number 17 now houses the Logenhaus Frankfurt , also known as the Logenhaus im Finkenhof .
In front of house number 15 there are stumbling blocks for the higher regional judge Carl Ernst Weigert (1884-1942), his wife Elisabeth Weigert née Süss (1889-1942) and her mother Elisabeth Süss née Creizenach (1869-1942). Elisabeth Weigert was the owner of the property at Finkenhofstrasse 15, where the couple lived until their death.
In front of house number 23 there are stumbling blocks for the architect Emil Stelzer (1897–1944), an active gymnast and gymnastics teacher at Eintracht Frankfurt , and his wife Else Stelzer née Wolf (1903–1944), both of whom were deported to a concentration camp in 1943 . The President of Eintracht Frankfurt, Peter Fischer, and the director of the Eintracht Museum and author Matthias Thomas spoke about the laying of the Stolpersteine for the Stelzer couple.
Dora Heyum (born on August 13, 1893 as Dora Schloß in Langen ) lived in house number 20 until July 12, 1939. She was married to the director of the Ada-Ada shoe factory , Julius Heyum, and to him since 1919 lived in Frankfurt. After her husband died in 1936, she first lived at Aystettstrasse 5 and then at Finkenhofstrasse 20, then at Wolfsgangstrasse 132 / I and finally at Eschersheimer Landstrasse 20. There are stumbling blocks for the Schloß family in Langen.
The publisher Heinrich Remigius Sauerländer (1821-1896) lived in house number 21 . J. D. Sauerländer's Verlag , which still exists , was based in the same building until it moved to Bad Orb .
Villa Finkenhof is at number 24 .
