The Harbor Street is a street in Dusseldorf and only in the eastern area from the mouth of the Akademiestraße the border between the districts of Old Town and Carlstadt .

Location and history

The street connected the old town with the citadel, which was newly laid out in the southwest from the beginning of the 16th century. The Hafenstrasse starts at Schulstrasse and flows into Wallstrasse . The street from west to east crosses Pastor-Jääsch-Weg, Akademiestrasse and Berger Strasse.

As can be seen from the city sketch with the situation before the Hafenstrasse was built, the old Berger Gate was in the area where the Akademiestrasse now converges , at that time still called Commissariatsstrasse . The west side of Commissariatsstraße was not yet built on at that time, as the city wall ran there. Only after the Berger Hafen and the citadel had been completed in 1620 were both port, school and Citadellstrasse laid out in the first half of the 17th century.

In the city sketch for the time before 1620, the waters of the Bergerhafen extend beyond today's Maxplatz. There was a bridge in the western area of ​​the later Hafenstrasse. The area of ​​the citadel was only accessible from the old town via this bridge. In the city ​​map from 1764 , both Hafenstrasse, which was initially called Franziskusstrasse for a short time, as well as the houses listed in the following chapter or their predecessors are drawn. Berger Hafen ended in front of Hafenstrasse and the bridge is no longer there.

The Berger Hafen was a safety harbor for ships during floods or ice drifts, but after the new safety harbor built under Napoleon north of the old town in 1831 it was filled in and only restored in its traditional outlines since the late 1980s; today's old harbor .

Development

The street is lined on the southern side by listed and architecturally significant houses. The original first building was built in the 17th century. Towards the middle of the 19th century, the old court mill in building no.1 is still listed in old address books. There are pubs in buildings no.3 and 5 and the remaining houses no.7, 9, 11 and 13 are rental houses with shops. No. 13 was the corner building with Berger Strasse. On the harbor side on the corner of Schulstrasse there was only the little house No. 2. After that there was free access to the harbor basin. On the corner in front of Akademiestrasse there was a gate entrance through which one got to the “royal detention house” in the west wing of the Hondheim Palace .

After 1945 the entire south side of Hafenstrasse was largely destroyed, as indicated in the attached historical city map from 1949, and the buildings all had to be renewed. From 1966 to 1968, the city of Düsseldorf erected building No. 4 on the north side of the street. The main office of the city of Düsseldorf was located here until the move to Moskauer Strasse in 2012 . The main office was demolished in 2016 and the laying of the foundation walls in the basement area for a new building began in December 2016. This new building was completed by late summer 2017.

Further information on the buildings on Hafenstrasse is given below:

  • No. 1: The listed building was originally a court mill. The three-story, plastered corner house was built in the 18th century. However, the foundation walls are much older than the building above. The building has "in addition to the architectural and baroque residential building also a historical significance". From 1878 to 1880 the house was modernized. Around 1900 the house was rebuilt and new shop windows built according to designs by the architects Mühlenkamp and Bender. On March 5, 1984 the building was listed as a historical monument. In 1986 the house was modernized.
  • No. 5: In 1628 Wilhelm Hütten received the permission to run a pub outside the city wall at the end of Berger Hafen . Today's well-known brewery "Zum Schiffchen" is one of the oldest restaurants in the old town. The most famous guest was Napoleon , who drank here with his generals. The building was destroyed and rebuilt several times, for example in 1794 and 1944. The EW Hoff family, who had also owned house no. 5 since 1895, was named for the first time in 1899 for the neighboring inn no.
  • No. 7: The house is both historically and architecturally significant. The historian Heinrich Ferber describes that the house belonged to Balthasar Weiler around 1820. The architect Josef Kleesattel describes the portal : “The framed door on a house in Hafenstrasse is also valuable (Fig. 88)…" Paul Sültenfuß compares the portal of the house at Hafenstrasse 7 with the portal at Jägerhof Palace and sees stylistic similarities - “ it can be associated with those of Jägerhof Palace: inclined pilasters and projecting cover plate ”. The door panel of the house still shows a clumsy baroque cartouche, as in house Neustraße 12. The building is now part of the historic restaurant “Zum Schiffchen” brewery.

  • It is said of houses nos. 11 and 13 that the Löwen pharmacy existed in the former from the end of the 18th to the end of the 19th century. No. 13 is the corner house on Berger Straße . At the beginning of the 19th century, the grand-ducal-Bergische government printing house of H. Levrault was located here.
  • The brewery "Zum Schiffchen", first mentioned in 1628, is located at Hafenstrasse No. 3/5 .
  • The northern side of Hafenstrasse was dominated until 2016 by the post-war building of the main office of the city of Düsseldorf (No. 4). According to Ferber, the previous house No. 4 belonged to the house next door on Akademiestraße and No. 2 on the corner of Schulstraße to Palais Nesselrode . At the confluence with Schulstrasse there is now the Hetjens Museum with an extension in the Nesselrose Palace .
