Location and history

Dutch magician at Hohe Straße Fest 2016

The Hohe Straße "belongs to the Carlstadt grid ". This urban area was laid out from 1784 when the previous old town fortifications in the south of Wallstrasse and in the east of the citadel were laid down, as new protective structures in the south-east of the city had been built well before the old ones at the beginning of the 18th century. Immediately after the end of the demolition work, which took place until 1787, the construction of the new streets and buildings began. Hohe Strasse was one of these newly laid out streets and began in the area of Carlsplatz and ended at this time at Benrather Strasse, as the area further south had not yet been developed.

The extension to Haroldstrasse and Schwanenmarkt was not carried out until the 1830s. By the mid-1850s, Hohe Strasse was completely built up to Haroldstrasse. In addition to residential buildings, various dealers in furniture, carpenters, wine and shoes had opened their shops here. As is currently the case, Hohe Straße began in the southeast of Carlsplatz and ended in the northeast of Schwanenmarkt. It is crossed by Benrather Strasse, Bastionstrasse and Siegfried-Klein-Strasse, which was newly laid out after 1945.

At the end of the 19th century, as in the entire old city center of Düsseldorf, the infrastructure in the Hohe Straße area was modernized. This included new paving (1879), the laying of clay pipes for rain and sewage drainage (1893 to 1895) and the laying of power cables for house and street lighting (1897). Furthermore, in 1898 the tracks of the tram for the Burgplatz line to the railway station in the area of ​​the later Graf-Adolf-Platz were moved from Kasernenstrasse to Hohe Strasse.

Today the street has various small, owner-managed shops and small restaurants. They have held the Hohe Strasse Festival every year since 2002 , which regularly attracts a large number of visitors.

Development

The street is lined with listed and historic buildings. Heimeshoff describes this as follows: “The closed development with residential and commercial buildings originates e.g. T. from the first development of Karlstadt. These buildings have been entered in the list of monuments for architectural and urban planning reasons. "
