Graebestraße is the name of a street in the historic center of the Praunheim district in Frankfurt am Main that has existed since the 16th century . The street is named after Karl Friedrich Otto Graebe (1797–1879), a merchant and consul of the Electorate of Hesse in the 19th century. His eldest son is the chemist Carl Graebe . The Graebe house was at the southern end of the street.
course
Graebestrasse begins in the south on the river Nidda at the Praunheimer bridge . From there it leads north past the community center of the district and the Protestant Church of the Resurrection in Praunheim . At the church, Graebestrasse turns to the northwest and ends a few meters further on at Alt-Praunheim .
History of the road
The streets of Praunheim were paved with stone paving from 1609. The stones required for this came from Oberrad and Sprendlingen as well as parts of the ruins of the former Roman town of Nida near Heddernheim . Since the paving, the municipality has levied Wegzoll , which was taken until Praunheim was incorporated into Frankfurt in 1910.
The community center and youth center is on the western side of Graebestrasse. The rectory, which is already shown on maps from around 1775, is next door. The property with the historic tithe barn and Junkerhof are on the eastern side of the street ; on the same side of the street to the north is the baroque church of Praunheim, built between 1770 and 1773 . Next to the church was an old schoolhouse, later a bowling alley. Next to it was the gate to the castle courtyard, which was sold in 1911 and is now at Kronberg Castle . Around 1995 a new residential / commercial building was built at this point.
The annual Praunheimer Zehntscheuenfest is celebrated on Graebestrasse, which is usually organized in August by the citizens' association. In addition, the parish's Christmas market is held in the street every First Advent. Before that, the flower festival took place, with which the children from kindergarten are said goodbye to school.
In 1965 the Praunheim workshops were built on the corner of Graebestraße and Alt-Praunheim. At the same time, five houses with around 60 social housing units were built next door by the Heimatfriede eG cooperative .
Local public transport
A bus stop in the street Alt-Praunheim at the height of the house number 46 is named after the Graebestrasse. The bus lines 60, 72 and 73 of the Frankfurt transport company VgF stop there . Another bus stop is at the Praunheimer Brücke.
