The Hansastraße is a main street in Dresden . It is located in the Neustadt district in the Leipziger Vorstadt district . Hansastraße serves as a route along the entire length of federal highway 170 and is the most important motorway feeder from the city center to the north.
traffic
Hansastraße begins in the northern continuation of Hainstraße at Schlesischer Platz, where it meets Bundesstraße 6 , which runs along the 26er Ring . Here, Hansastraße first crosses the Děčín – Dresden-Neustadt railway line and immediately afterwards swings in an exact north-south direction. After about 300 meters, Großenhainer Straße branches off at an acute angle to the northwest . After a total of 1000 meters, it crosses a main street with Fritz-Reuter-Straße. Exactly in the middle of its course, Hansastraße is bridged by the Leipzig – Dresden railway line. Further north it crosses the largest contiguous allotment garden area in Dresden. After a total of 2000 meters in a straight line, it swings into a wide S-curve and turns into Radeburger Strasse just before the St. Pauli cemetery at Hechtstrasse.
This makes Hansastraße an important part of the motorway feeder from the city center to the Dresden-Hellerau junction on the A 4 . The traffic from Dresden city center to the north in the direction of the districts of Trachenberge , Wilschdorf and Hellerau , the city of Radeburg and Berlin ( A 13 ) is concentrated on it and the adjoining Radeburger Straße . In its entire course, Hansastraße has been expanded to four lanes due to its high level of traffic, and even six lanes on the 500 meter long section between Conradstraße and the railway bridge along the Dresden – Leipzig route. Between this bridge and the overpass at Neustadt station, the directional lanes are separated by a seven to 15 meter wide green strip. From the junction with Eisenbahnstraße, this space is also used by tram line 3 until it branches off onto Großenhainer Straße.
history
The original traffic route from Altendresden to the north led from Neustädter Markt along Rähnitzgasse, named after the former village and today's Dresden district of Rähnitz , Friedensstrasse and Bärnsdorfer Strasse (formerly Mittelweg), which takes its name from the Radeburg district of Bärnsdorf . With the construction of the railway system in the 19th century, this traffic route was interrupted. A little further west ran the Poststrasse from Dresden to Grossenhain . It began at the Leipziger Tor , followed a piece of Antonstrasse and then turned north. As far as the starting point of Großenhainer Straße, it led east past the Leipzig train station - this is roughly the southern part of today's Hansastraße.
The construction of the Neustädter Bahnhof in 1898 led to the connection of Großenhainer Straße to Schlesischen Platz. As early as 1895, today's Hansastraße was planned as the main traffic axis. It should connect to the existing section of Großenhainer Straße to the north and extend to Heller . However, only a very short stretch from the Großenhainer Straße junction to today's Fritz-Hoffmann-Straße was implemented around 1900, albeit with the wide green strip in the middle of the street. Together with the southern part of Großenhainer Straße up to Schlesischer Platz, the section was given the new name Hansastraße and is thus named after the Hanseatic League . In connection with the establishment of the Hansastraße settlement , the street was then extended northwards to Conradstraße in the mid-1920s.
Hansastraße reached its current stage of development around 1940. The entire section between Conradstraße and Hechtstraße was built as a feeder to the new Reichsautobahn from Bautzen via Dresden to Eisenach . In September 1942 the name was changed to "Dr.-Todt-Straße". It was named after Fritz Todt , the head of the National Socialist motorway construction project who died that year. After the end of the Second World War , the street was given its old name back on September 27, 1945, which it still bears today. The new building in the 1940s functionally replaced the Bärnsdorfer Straße running parallel, which has since served as an access road to the extensive gardens.
From the 1970s until 2005, Europastraße 55 also ran over Hansastraße. Only after the completion of the federal autobahn 17 from the triangle Dresden-West to the junction Dresden-Südvorstadt will the Europastraße bypass the urban area to the west.
Development
The southern beginning of Hansastraße is determined by the Dresden-Neustadt train station and a railway building on its northern forecourt. Opposite it, on the western side of the street, is the Hansastraße viaduct belonging to the high-altitude railway line Dresden-Pieschen-Dresden-Neustadt , a 188-meter-long, partly lined concrete arch bridge in the shape of a curve. To the north of the connecting curve of this railway line in the direction of Görlitz , which was finally demolished in 2007, a Wilhelminian style block development joins on the eastern side of the road .
Between Fritz-Hoffmann-Strasse and Conradstrasse is the Hansastrasse housing estate on both sides . It consists of five-story buildings. On the east side there is only one row of houses, which closes the Scheunenhofviertel towards Hansastraße, while the buildings to the west of Hansastraße with similar houses along Conradstraße and Großenhainer Straße form a triangle around a green inner courtyard. The settlement was built in 1926 based on a design by Curt Herfurth and is an example of brick expressionism as a special variant of expressionist architecture . Green plastered surfaces stand in contrast to clinker bricks that are inconsistently colored red-brown. Expressionist detail patterns made of clinker bricks enliven the facade, whereby their design is subject to a neo-baroque basic pattern by emphasizing the central axis as well as the base and mansard storeys . The front building in the acute angle between Hansa and Grossenhainer Strasse is particularly emphasized with its three central axes completely clad in clinker, the outer ones being closed off at the top by stepped gables . There are a total of 500 mostly three-room apartments with loggias. The site was bought by the Saxon State Railways at the beginning of the 1920s in order to have railway officials' apartments built there.
North-west of the intersection with Fritz-Reuter-Straße is the Hansa-Zentrum , completed in 1994 , which houses a hotel, among other things. The building designed by A. Bader has a red facade and a characteristic glass curve in the area of the main portal, which extends over eight floors. The entire northern part of Hansastrasse is undeveloped except for two petrol stations. There are extensive allotment gardens that have been created since 1900 and together form the allotment garden park Hansastraße .
