The Frankenwall is a street in the city 's Old Town in Stralsund . The road connects the Knieperdamm and the waterway with the Knieperwall and the Tribseer Damm ; Tribseer Straße and Straße Katharinenberg also flow at this intersection, which is designed as a square . The Badstüberstraße , the streets Priegnitz , Lobshagen and Zipollenhagen , the Marienchorstraße , the Weidendamm , the Wichmannsgang and theKarl-Marx-Strasse go off from Frankenwall. The street is part of the core area of ​​the UNESCO World Heritage Historic Old Towns Stralsund and Wismar .

The street was initially called the Frankenmauer . After most of the Stralsund city wall in this area was torn down , the street was called Wallstraße and from 1844 Am Wall . It has had the name Frankenwallstrasse since 1869, and it is still named that way on a city map from 1951. On a city map from 1976 it is then called Frankenwall, named after the former ramparts of the city fortifications.

When the fortress status of the city was revoked in 1873, the redesign of the ramparts began. The ramparts and the outer city gates were torn down, the ramparts were transformed into an avenue and the former bastions into gardens.

Four of the buildings in the street are under monument protection (see also list of monuments in Stralsund ), namely the houses Frankenwall 3 , Frankenwall 6 , Frankenwall 7 (Catholic Church), Frankenwall 12 , Frankenwall 24 b , Frankenwall 24 d , Frankenwall 25 (Gerhart -Hauptmann-Schule), Frankenwall 26 and Frankenwall 27 ; In addition, a house without a number is listed as a monument. The Frankenwall 23 building, which is included in the list of monuments, was released for demolition in September 2013.

The bastions of the Blauturmbastion , Weingartenbastion , Schützenbastion , Mühlenbastion and partly the Tribseer Bastion , which were part of the Stralsund city fortifications , are located on the Frankenwall . A school building was erected on the Blauturmbastion from 1897 to 1900. The Weingartenbastion served as a fairground for a long time until it was used as a parking lot from 1973; in 1997 a parking garage was built on it. The rifle bastion was used as a bus station. The mill bastion was built with an epidemic barracks in the 1920s, which was used as a kindergarten after the Second World War . Administration buildings for the Deutsche Reichsbahn were built on the Tribseer Bastion . The two towers built in the Middle Ages and demolished in 1865, the blue tower on Blauturmstrasse and the half-moon tower on Badstüberstrasse, were also part of the city fortifications .

According to plans by Ernst von Haselberg , the municipal hospital (used today as a medical center) was built between 1862 and 1866 ; today's parking lot in front of it was the first gymnastics area in Stralsund.

The street on the bank of the Frankenteich forms the southern border of the old town area.
