The Holbeinstraße is a street in Frankfurt . It is located in the Sachsenhausen district and runs for a length of over 800 meters in a south-easterly direction between the Schaumainkai am Main in the north and the underpass under the local railway line in the south-east, on Nell-Breuning- and Hedderichstraße. At its northern end, at the Städel, there is the southern bridgehead of the Holbeinsteg , a bridge over the Main , as a continuation for pedestrians and cyclists . The street is named after the painters Hans Holbein the Elder (1465–1524) and Hans Holbein the Younger (1497–1543).
course
Holbeinstrasse crosses Gartenstrasse at a large, busy intersection at the beginning of Kennedyallee . To the south of this intersection, Holbeinstrasse is developed as an avenue with a median strip lined mainly with locust trees . The Städelsche Kunstinstitut with the Städelgarten and the state Städelschule, Otto-Hahn-Platz, the Carl-Schurz-Schule and the Bonifatiuskirche are located along Holbeinstrasse . Opposite it on Textorstrasse are the Textor and Holbein Schools.
At the southern end of Holbeinstrasse is the new Holbeinviertel on the former site of the Sachsenhausen freight station. In 1969 Otto-Hahn-Platz was named after the Frankfurt-born Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, after having been called Holbeinplatz since 1914. The green area is popularly known as the “rose garden”. The name comes from a rose, flower and plant exhibition that was held at the same location in the second half of 1897.
In 1875 Holbeinstrasse was first mentioned in the Frankfurt address book. The road was built on in several sections between 1900 and 1937. It formed the eastern border of the first area of application for building land development according to the Frankfurt reallocation law, the Lex Adickes . This reallocation area comprised around 21 hectares and extended from Holbeinstraße to Gartenstraße, Wilhelmstraße (today Stresemannallee ) and to the Sachsenhausen freight station (today Holbeinviertel). The reallocation area, which was sealed with a distribution plan in 1911, is part of today's Malerviertel.
