The Görresstraße is a street in the Frankfurt District Riederwald between the thoroughfare Am Erlenbruch the north and the Raiffeisen road runs to the south. Due to its short length of only 270 meters, it only crosses Lassallestrasse , which runs between house numbers 13 and 15 in the east and 24 and 28 in the west. The street is only a few meters away from the Schäfflestraße underground station , from which it can be reached in a southerly direction through a passage at Haus Am Erlenbruch 102 .

history

Naming

The street is named after the publicist and scholar Joseph von Görres (1776–1848), who was the founder and first editor of the newspaper Rheinischer Merkur .

Development

It was built in 1926 and 1927 according to the ideas of the Frankfurt building officer Ernst May . In the initial section north of Lassallestrasse, houses 4 to 24 and 3 to 15 were planned by the architects Eduard and Otto Fucker ; south of Lassallestrasse, houses with numbers 28 to 44 and 17 to 55 were built under the direction of the architect Franz Thyriot .

Special objects

The corner house number 24 was the original location of the crime scene episode The Dead on the Night Train .

The corner house number 24, located at the meeting point with Lassallestrasse , was the original location of the Frankfurt "crime scene" Der Tote im Nachtzug . According to the script, the "title hero" Rüdiger Lange (played by Stephan Grossmann ), who was murdered on the night train from Warsaw to Frankfurt , lived in this house . His old friend Stanislav Kilic ( Jevgenij Sitochin ), who still has an account with Rüdiger, first visits the house and only meets his wife Elsa ( Inka Friedrich ) there. Then the investigative duo Frank Steier and Conny Mey ( Joachim Król and Nina Kunzendorf ) visits the house in search of the suspect. Both visits to the front door are at the original location.

The spacious property at number 44, which belongs to the Heilig-Geist-Kirche , whose municipal property extends to Schäfflestrasse running to the west , houses the Riederwald girls' residential group in addition to a kindergarten ; A Caritas social facility in a former nurses' home, which can accommodate 19 young women and “at risk” girls aged 14 and over.
