Course of the road
Gwinnerstraße begins at the subway station of the same name on lines U4 and U7 in Borsigallee . It initially runs through an industrial park to the intersection with Gelastraße. Shortly after this intersection, near the street Am Seckbacher Ried , the Gwinnerstraße becomes larger. Shortly after a small intersection with the streets In der Sauren Wiese and Am Seckbacher Preul , the street makes a slight bend and turns into Leonhardsgasse, which leads directly into Seckbacher Ried .
The traditional Batschkapp music club has been located on Gwinnerstraße since December 2013 .

Former tram company

A line of the Frankfurt tram ran through Gwinnerstraße from October 15, 1913 to February 1992 . In 1992, the line service on this was discontinued and the old track was shut down, as the extension of the C-route to Enkheim required the tracks on Borsigallee to be re-routed. The “Gwinnerstraße” tram station was built at the level of the former junction. In the past, the tram station was a little further behind the current tram station. This was called "Borsigallee / Gwinnerstraße". Most of the route remained, however, as parts of it were to be used for the planned extension of the U4 from Bornheim to Bergen.
From the junction with Gelastraße, the tracks are still on the higher-lying lane for private traffic to the north. From the former Leonhardsgasse stop, today's bus terminus, the route runs through the Seckbacher Ried.
In the meantime, however, there are plans to reactivate the route that has been preserved, but whether as a tram or light rail route is unclear. A reactivation as a light rail line with a subsequent tunnel into the old town of Berger would be possible . Since the superstructure has deteriorated considerably during the decommissioning years, a complete renewal of the route is necessary.
Today's bus operation
Today (2011) the RMV bus lines 44 and F-41 run on the former tram route from the Gwinnerstraße tram station to the Leonhardsgasse terminus. The night bus line n5 also stops there.
history
The research and development center of Lurgi GmbH has been located on what is now Gwinnerstrasse since 1937 . Apparatus and process technologies were developed in the research laboratories and test facilities of the complex known internally as the "R&D center". Up to 500 people were employed in the 60,000 square meter research center. This research has not always been undisputed. In 1989/1990, a citizens' initiative collected 400 signatures against the construction of a waste incineration test facility on site.
In 1956 the street was widened to 40 meters. As a result, the rails that were previously on the roadside were in the middle of the road.
In 1978 Gwinnerstraße was the scene of an arson attack on an FVV ticket machine. The damage amounted to 7,000 DM. "Revolutionary cells" claimed responsibility for this attack.
Street name
After the death of Philipp Friedrich Gwinner, the previous mountain path was changed to Gwinnerstraße. In 1948, for the 150th anniversary of the Mouson company in this Gwinnerstraße, it was renamed Mousonstraße by a resolution of the city council on June 3, 1948 . Today's Gwinnerstraße (and former Mousonstraße) got its name. It reminds of Philipp Friedrich Gwinner and his son, the district court director Robert Franz von Gwinner (1825–1917)
