history

The street was built in honor of Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm, later Emperor Friedrich III. when he visited Trier in 1888. The street was previously called "Hundsgässchen".

Cultural monuments

There are various historical cultural monuments along the road , including the parish church Herz Jesu, which belongs to the monastery complex of the same name. The Barbarathermen and the St. Barbara schoolhouse are also important .

Sacred Heart Hospital and Monastery

The Sacred Heart Hospital also belongs to the street ensemble, which was demolished after its closure in 2006, so that all departments had to be relocated to the motherhouse of the Borromeo Clinic. The historic core of the hospital was built in 1898 by August Wolf according to plans by the Münster architect Bernhard Schwarz for the Franciscan Sisters of Penance and Christian Love. As early as 1897, a kindergarten was opened by the nuns on the site; later other school facilities were added. In 1909 and 1941 the hospital was expanded a total of four times. During the Second World War the hospital was used as a military hospital .

In 1990, the complex was leased to the Caritas supporting company for a period of 50 years by means of a heritable building lease, which in turn later rented it to the Trier clinic motherhouse. After the takeover by the parent company on January 1, 2000, the departments were gradually relocated to the headquarters in Feldstrasse. With the adult psychiatry, the palliative ward and the pain day clinic, the last departments of the Sacred Heart of Jesus finally moved to another location in the summer of 2006. After the demolition, Trierer Wohnungsbau und Treuhand AG built a new urban residential quarter with various multi-storey buildings and town villas (150 residential units) on the 1.5 hectare site for investment costs of around 30 million euros. Although the core building is not a listed building, it could be preserved and is now to be used as a commercial building for offices and practices. The old trees in the area, which the people of Trier called the “Herz-Jesu-Garten”, were also preserved.
