The Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße is a street in the Musicians district, in the southwest suburb of Leipzig . It was named after the Leipzig publisher and theologian Carl Christian Philipp Tauchnitz (1798–1884) and is considered an "important connecting road".
location
Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße is located in the two Leipzig districts Zentrum-Süd (odd house numbers) and Zentrum-West (even numbers). It is 1,596 meters long and curves from north to south around the music district. The road begins at the former Karl-Tauchnitz-Brücke on the southwest corner of the inner city ring and initially heads west. It crosses Friedrich-Ebert- / Wilhelm-Seyfferth-Straße, then to the south of Grassistraße and Ferdinand-Rhode-Straße. At the roundabout to Edvard-Grieg-Allee, Beethovenstraße and Anton-Bruckner-Allee, Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße turns south, then to the east, Mozartstraße, Haydnstraße and finally Telemannstraße, opposite the Rennbahnweg to the west, join until the street at the intersection ends on Wundtstrasse and continues opposite as Mahlmannstrasse. In the northern part, Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße borders the Johannapark . In the middle section to the Clara-Zetkin-Park , formerly König-Albert-Park . On the southern section of Karl-Tauchnitz-Strasse is the Scheibenholz racecourse . This gives the street an outstanding location, as almost its entire length is adjacent to parkland.
history
The street was designed in 1877 as part of the planning and development of the music district as a (half) ring street and from 1880 as a plane tree - avenue designated as "Street 1" . In 1885 it was given the name "Carl-Tauchnitz-Straße", since 1901 it has been called "Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße". The confluence with today's Friedrich-Ebert-Straße (formerly Weststraße) did not originally exist. At this point there was still a seamless transition without crossing roads to Johannapark. The confluence was only created as a result of the air raids on the Musikviertel and the Westvorstadt during World War II , when houses 12, 14 and 16 were destroyed here and the road to Westplatz was subsequently cleared of rubble and ruins and continuously expanded for traffic . As a result, the tram line from the inner city ring to the Westplatz in the direction of Plagwitz has been shortened since 1964 . Before that, the plane trees in the northern section up to Johannapark (Friedrich-Ebert-Straße) were felled in 1962 and the lane was widened for tram and car traffic at the expense of the sidewalks and the front gardens (see pictures above).
The southern section of Karl-Tauchnitz-Strasse from Haydnstrasse with a large number of historic villa buildings was almost completely destroyed by the bombing between 1943 and 1945. In 1947, the northern section of Karl-Tauchnitz-Strasse was used to remove the rubble via Ferdinand-Rhode-Strasse and Wundtstrasse to Fockeberg by the Leipziger rubble railway . In the course of this, the ruins of the street and those of the music quarter ended up on this mountain of rubble . In total, almost two thirds (19 of 32 villas) of the original development on the street were lost due to war damage and the demolition of the ruins in the post-war years. Including several buildings by architects Peter Dybwad , (1859–1921) Max Pommer (1847–1915) and Arwed Roßbach (1844–1902), who were important for Leipzig . To the figures given above, there are still a few villa buildings to be added that stood along Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße, but as corner buildings had the house numbers of the cross streets (see info box).
Development and reception in art history
The Leipzig art publisher Julius Zeitler described the villas on Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße in the “Leipzig Calendar” of 1906 as “butter boxes, Renaissance dummies and centerpiece villas”. In his opinion, the simple Villa Nauhardt alone was an exception in the ensemble of magnificent buildings. Thus, in the pre-war period, the street had a large number of villas:
