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.
