Frankfurt-Bonames [ bonaˈmeːs ] has been a district in the north of Frankfurt am Main since April 1, 1910 . Today it has 000000000006456.00000000006,456 inhabitants on an area of ​​3.3 square kilometers.

Location and infrastructure

The Nidda in Bonames

Bonames is located on the Nidda and in the triangle of the federal autobahn 5 and the 661 (separates the districts of Bonames and Kalbach ). The built-up area itself is wedged between Kalbach, Nieder-Eschbach and Harheim , while the open area is located south to the Nidda.

The subway - U2 and U9 with the stations Kalbach ( Park and Ride car parking) and Bonames center and the bus lines 24, 27, 28 and 29 include the largely rural district on the Rhine-Main Transport Association (RMV) on. The connection to the Frankfurt tram network took place as early as 1910, the last tram ran until the complete changeover to the underground service in 1978.

The only school in the district is the August Jaspert School. It was inaugurated as a primary school in 1955 and is now named after the founder of the Wegscheide school campus and Frankfurt rector August Jaspert . After the opening of the Otto Hahn School in 1969 in the neighboring district of Nieder-Eschbach, the secondary school branch expired, so that the school is now a pure elementary school .

history

In Roman times, the area of ​​today's Bonames was on the Roman military road to Wetterau between the Civita main town of Nida (main town of the Civitas Taunensium , now Heddernheim / Roman town) and the Roman fort in Okarben ; the Roman long mile also led from the old Nidda crossing via Homburg to Saalburg Castle . There are two theses regarding the origin of the name. The first variant, favored by historians, is derived from Roman times and assumes that there was a "bona mansio " ("good rest stop") here on the Nidda , while the other thesis assumes that a good priest must have preached here and the name is derived from "bona missa" ("good mass").

The thesis of the Roman origin of the place name was finally corroborated by excavation finds that were carried out in 2007 as a listed preliminary investigation into construction work for a parking lot. The finds indicate a two-storey tower-like construction from the second century, located near the Roman route. The exposed location not far from the presumed Roman crossing of the Nidda and the massive walls suggest a Roman road station.

Bonames was first mentioned in a document in 1030.

A castle was probably built in Bonames at the beginning of the 13th century (→ Bonames Castle ), a Friedrich von Bonames is mentioned in a Frankfurt book of the dead, from 1219 Henricus von Bonames is the first to name himself miles - i.e. knight. This is where the street name “Am Burghof” comes from, but the remains of the Niederungsburg were already auctioned off for demolition in the mid-nineteenth century due to their dilapidation. Remains of the former city wall still exist today - unusual for a small town - some of them still at their original height. The name of today's Galgenstraße can be traced back to a wooden gallows that stood outside the village but on the edge of the boundary and is said to have been maintained by the City Council of Frankfurt.

In the course of the dissolution of the Prussian district of Frankfurt , Bonames was incorporated into Frankfurt am Main on April 1, 1910, making it the northernmost district of Frankfurt for over 60 years.

In 1953, on the border to Frankfurter Berg, which at that time belonged to Bonames, the Bonameser Weg residential community, inhabited by economically disadvantaged people , was established, also referred to as "Bonameser Platz" by the residents.

The old airfield , which is part of the Frankfurt green belt , is located in Bonames and in the adjacent Kalbach-Riedberg district . The airfield has been renatured , parts of it have been converted into a roller-skating rink and a skateboarding area. The Frankfurt Fire Brigade Museum and a local history museum are also located there.

The structure of the district has changed since the 1970s. In the north of the district on the border with Nieder-Eschbach, a high-rise estate was built on Ben-Gurion-Ring, in which many immigrants settled and which is known today because of social problems. A large and diverse industrial area has also been under construction there since around 2000.

In 1996, the Frankfurter Berg settlement about 1.5 kilometers from the center of Bonames was spun off and since then - together with small parts of other neighboring districts - has formed a separate district, while Bonames lost most of its area.

Traffic history

The place must have had traffic significance as early as Roman times, the version favored today is based on the thesis that there should have been a "bona mansio" here, which suggests a Roman road station . The Zeilweg , a Roman road along the current route of the A route of the Frankfurt U-Bahn (“Auf der Steinernen Straße”) is occupied. When the Main-Weser-Bahn was built , Bonames was given its own train station, which is located at the foot of what is now the Frankfurter Berg district and was renamed in 1986 from "Frankfurt-Bonames" to " Frankfurt-Frankfurter Berg ".

In 1910, Bonames was connected to the Frankfurt tram network by line 25 of Frankfurter Lokalbahn AG (FLAG) to Bad Homburg . After the FLAG was taken over from January 1, 1955 by the municipal tram, from July 2, 1962, line 8 also ran to Bonames, which was replaced by line 23 on September 24, 1963. If the traffic was initially controlled via a switch at the end of the turning loop , a continuous track was first created through renovation measures in the direction of Bad Homburg and later the stop in the direction of Frankfurt on the other side of the Homburger Landstrasse was rebuilt and relocated. After the underground operation began, the 25 was renamed to A2 and 23 to A4, since the last change on May 27, 1978, only the U2 has operated as the successor to the A2, the turning loop was later abandoned and moved to a park (Friedrich -Fauldrath plant). At the beginning of the 1980s, the subway station was supplemented with the addition of “Mitte” to avoid confusion with the S-Bahn station of the same name. Despite its renaming a few years later, the addition has been retained to this day.

For many years, the Bonames exit of the federal autobahn 661, which has now been closed, marked the end of the autobahn, which contributed significantly to the massive load on the place due to traffic, which has been due to the intersection of the Homburger Landstrasse with the Harheimer and Oberer Kalbacher Weg since In the 1950s. Only the completion of the federal highway 661 and the federal highway 3a as well as the consequent redesign of the old thoroughfares enabled a significant reduction in traffic, so that Bonames has lost much of its former importance as a traffic junction in this regard .

The Protestant parish church , a church from 1478, which burned down in 1546, is located in the old village center . After being destroyed again during the Thirty Years' War , it was rebuilt in 1642 to replace a church outside the city wall, which can be proven as early as the 13th century. For this purpose, money was collected from all the surrounding communities, including Frankfurt itself. A wrought iron offering box with a knight's coat of arms dates from the 13th century. Various grave slabs can be seen outside and rich baroque furnishings inside . The altar table and the baptismal font , both of which were made of black marble, are donations of the former Bonames court school. This small church is the only patronage church in Frankfurt. Despite the location of the church within the city walls of Bonames, the church was built in the style of a fortified church, the thickness of the walls is still impressive today. The church underwent major changes through a renovation in the mid-1960s, when the chancel, which was previously level with the rest of the church, was raised and at the beginning of the 1980s when a sacristy was added.

On the square in front of the modern St. Boniface Church there is a Gothic walk-in labyrinth . In addition to several kindergartens, a primary school can be found in the district.

In the south of Bonames, the Nidda was straightened at the beginning of the 1960s and an 11,000 square meter oxbow was built, which was reconnected to the Nidda in 2009 . Today it surrounds the north park , which is used for recreation , a naturally overgrown leisure area with a barbecue area and sandpit, which is criss-crossed with large painted wooden steles and a large sports area.

topography

View from the south of Bonames

The old Bonamese town center lies on the edge of the Niddatal, which in its topography resembles an glacial valley. This is followed by a plateau, which then rises again in the direction of the border to Nieder-Eschbach ("ügel "). The topographical peculiarity is the “hollow” and the area around the sports field, as these actually represent larger depressions, which in their nature do not fit into the surroundings.

Quirks

The village of Bonames is in the northernmost corner of the district, so that at the end of Galgenstrasse - the lane becomes narrower as a result - you come across the historic boundary stone to Nieder-Eschbach, while the Harheim boundary stone is to be found directly behind the sports field. The long-established population still knows the "vineyards", although no wine has been grown in Bonames for a long time.
