Friedrich-Engels-Ring
The Friedrich-Engels-Ring (also called Stadtring or Wallring ) is a ring-shaped inner-city street in the city of Neubrandenburg in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which is mainly formed by the two federal highways 96 and 104 . After expansion in the 1970s, the three- to four-lane, heavily traveled ring road can be used as a one-way street . It encloses the inner city of Neubrandenburg including its historical ramparts.
history
The city only grew beyond the 2.3 km long city wall and ramparts at the end of the 19th century. Analogous to the 1st - 5th ring roads running in a ring inside the city wall, the streets leading around the ramparts were originally called 1st - 5th Wall Street. The development around the Wallstrasse was predominantly characterized by bourgeois villas. In the course of time, the streets have been given several new names in accordance with the prevailing social and political zeitgeist . In honor of the ducal house of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and on the occasion of a visit by the ducal couple Elisabeth and Adolf-Friedrich V on June 1, 1906, the 1st Wallstraße running from the horse market to the train station became "Elisabethstraße" and the adjoining one to the east, leading to Treptower Tor 2. Wallstrasse renamed to “Adolf-Friedrich-Strasse”. The 3rd Wallstraße from Treptower to Stargarder Tor along the Lindebach became “An der Linde”, the 4th Wallstraße from Stargarder to the New Gate in honor of the Prussian Field Marshal von Moltke “Moltkestraße” and the 5th Wallstraße from the New Gate to the horse market “Schützenwall” " called.
After 1945, Elisabeth- and Adolf-Friedrich-Strasse were named " Rudolf-Breitscheid -Strasse" after an SPD politician ; Moltkestrasse became "Berliner Strasse". In the 1970s, the ring roads were greatly widened and many historical buildings were sacrificed. For the 160th birthday of the communist theorist Friedrich Engels on November 28, 1980, all streets surrounding the ramparts were combined under the name "Friedrich-Engels-Ring". While the other socialist streets in the center of Neubrandenburg were renamed after 1990, this has not yet happened in the case of the inner city ring.
course
Flow into the ring:
- from the north from Greifswald the former B 96 now L 35 as Demminer Straße
- from the east from the direction of Pasewalk the B 104 as Woldegker Straße
- from the south from Berlin the B 96 as Neustrelitzer Straße
- from the west from the direction of Güstrow the B 104 as Rostocker Straße
From the west, the B 192 from Waren (Müritz) and the B 197 from Anklam join the B 104 .
Within the city ring is the city center of Neubrandenburg, which is surrounded by a medieval wall and weir system. Outside of this are the train station in the north and the town hall in the east. To the south is the Jahnsportforum with the adjoining culture park on Lake Tollensesee .
State of development
As early as 1970, the city ring at the level of the ramparts was expanded into a one-way street. The aim was to keep traffic out of the city center. The ring is currently three-lane, sometimes four-lane.
In 2013 and 2014, sections of the ring were extensively renovated. The renovation sections between the train station, Rostocker Straße and Lessingstraße were completed. The Schillerstraße was opened to traffic to and from the Tollensesee via the Ring in order to create direct access to the lake. In 2015 further construction phases were completed, including a. between Lessingstrasse and Neustrelitzer Strasse. In the past few years the section between the horse market crossing and Rostocker Straße has been renovated. The Neubrandenburg train station was opened to traffic to and from the city center. The horse market crossing is to be renewed in 2021.
Traffic volume
The Friedrich-Engels-Ring carries around 35,000 vehicles a day. At rush hour traffic jams often occur despite the expansion status. With the completion of the Neubrandenburg bypass, the traffic situation on the Friedrich-Engels-Ring should relax.
