history
Postcard number 389 from Georg Kugelmann , dated 1906
The Döhrener Tower was built in 1382 . It was located on the trade route to Hildesheim, which was not yet specified . In 1750, Hildesheimer Strasse was referred to on old maps as the road to Hildesheim, Braunschweig and Goslar . In 1845 it got its current name in the city of Hanover. In 1960 it was still called "Hildesheimer Chaussee" in the community of Grasdorf. The planned expansion began in the 1860s. This gave a continuous route from Herrenhausen to Döhren . There are development plans created so that a systematic public and private buildings could begin. The numbering initially only went as far as Altenbekener Damm .
Hildesheimer Straße was laid out in 1810 at the height of today's Döhren district .
Until 1864, Hildesheimer Straße ran along Höltystraße , from which the former Catholic St. John's cemetery extended to Maschstraße .
In 1872 a horse-drawn tram line was built from the Steintor to the Döhrener Tower and in 1890 it was extended to Laatzen. It was the longest and at the same time one of the first routes on the Hanover tram . From 1893 the tram was electrified and extended to Hildesheim in 1898.
With the introduction of the Reichsstrasse system , the connection between Hildesheim and Hanover became part of Reichsstrasse 6 ( Cuxhaven - Dresden - Breslau ). The later federal highway 6 was moved in the second half of the 20th century, like all federal highways in the city, to the Messe , Süd- and Westschnellweg .
