The Kasernenstraße (in old documents Casernenstraße written) a wide multi-lane and busy one-way street in the center of Dusseldorf, which runs from north to south and the total in almost its length a part of the border between the districts of Carlstadt and the city center is. Only the small northwest area from Wallstrasse to Flinger Strasse belongs to the border with the Altstadt district .

Name and location

The name of the street refers to the access to the barracks, which until the beginning of the 20th century were in this area of ​​the city south of Benrather Straße. The street begins in the north on Flinger Straße and ends in the south on Graf-Adolf-Platz . The western side of the street belongs mainly to Carlstadt and the eastern side to the city center. At the suggestion of the city administration in late 1930, the street was temporarily called Friedrich-Ebert-Straße from 1931 to early 1933.

Infrastructure

The first area of ​​Kasernenstrasse from Flinger Strasse to Wallstrasse is a pedestrian area. From the intersection with Wallstrasse, the road is mainly designed as a two-lane traffic road with a simple rail section for the tram traffic that ran here until the beginning of 2016. Sometimes there is a one-sided parking lane for cars as well as an additional lane for bicycles next to the pedestrian areas on both sides. From the intersection with Carl-Theodor-Straße to the confluence with Graf-Adolf-Platz, Kasernenstraße has three car lanes and one bicycle lane. The original trees, which were laid out at the end of the 19th century, no longer exist.

On Kasernenstrasse there are some restaurants, the Luisen-Gymnasium, the administrative court (in the Stahlhof), large administrative buildings for the city administration (building no.6) and various financial branches and banks such as Merck Finck Privatbankiers (building no.15 ), Commerzbank (building no . 28), Bank Julius Bär (building no. 40) as well as the head office of Targobank (Logo Citibank in the roof area of ​​building no. 10 changed from Citibank to Targobank in 2017) and the Kreis-Sparkasse Düsseldorf (building no. 69 and 69a) as well as the head office of the AOK in Düsseldorf (buildings no. 61, 63 and 36). Furthermore, in the area between Flinger Strasse and Benrather Strasse, next to the Carsch-Haus department store, there are various shops that are less geared towards daily consumption, but rather cover long-term and special needs. In the area of ​​the western sidewalk in front of the Commerzbank skyscraper between Benrather Straße and Bastionstraße there is access to the underground lines U71, U72, U73 and U83. The associated barrier-free access via an elevator is located opposite on the eastern sidewalk.

history

Until 1799

Until the beginning of the 18th century, the entire area in which Kasernenstrasse is located was in the southeast of the city in front of the fortifications there. As early as 1700 under Elector Jan Wellem , the first plans were drawn up to expand the urban area in the southeast and to build more modern fortifications there. This "extension" called extension was located south of the existing city wall with the Flinger bastion and should extend well beyond the later Graf-Adolf-Platz . Since the financial means for a major expansion of the city were lacking and the elector died in 1709, only initial and limited work was started around 1710. However, the first construction work was carried out in the intended expansion area and a new hospital for the sick and poor, known as the Hubertus Hospital , was built in this area by 1709 . The hospital was located south of the current Benrather Straße in front of the city wall and the associated protective waters. Access to this new area was via a bridge in the eastern part of today's Grabenstrasse. The path, which was turned into a road after the middle of the 18th century, ran from the bridge to the southwest and directly past the west side of the hospital with the church and the barracks that were built a little later. In the map of the city from 1796, the beginning of the path at that time is “double-dotted”, which ran from Grabenstrasse, corner of what later became Breite Strasse, to the south-west of Benrather Strasse, currently at the corner of Kasernenstrasse.

After the first barracks were erected, the bridge, initially known as the “soldiers' bridge”, later became the “town bridge”. Currently, the undeveloped area in front of the western end building on Heinrich-Heine-Allee on Wallstrasse in the area of ​​the Wilhelm-Marx-Haus is referred to as the city bridge . A chapel built with the hospital was extended to the town church of St. Anna by 1735 .

It was only under Elector Karl Philipp from 1733 to 1742 that the necessary new reinforced external structures with bastions and ravelins were created. However, the area within these protective structures had been reduced by two thirds compared to the initial planning. At the same time, the first barracks, simple two-storey buildings, were built for the infantry from the mid-1730s and handed over to the inspector of the military in 1738. The St. Paulus Bastion built at the southern end of Kasernenstrasse was one of the new protective structures with upstream water channels that surrounded the new area in the east and south.

Due to the increasing use of the military area, the Hubertus Hospital on Kasernenstrasse was closed in 1770 and relocated to a newly constructed building in the new southern part of the city. The former monastery buildings were taken over by the military in 1772 and used both as barracks and the previous inn-hospital as a military hospital. In addition to the infantry, mounted troops were also stationed. The horse stables required for this were also built in the area of ​​the former monastery building at the end of the 1770s.

The properties at Kasernenstrasse 17 and 19 in the northwest of Benrather Strasse belonged to the Jewish community . On August 21, 1790, he was allowed to convert a larger building on this area into a synagogue. The conversion to the old synagogue took place until the end of 1791. Since a "security certificate" requested for the operation of the synagogue was only issued on June 19, 1792, the inauguration could not take place until 1792.

To the north of the Benrather Strasse / Kasernenstrasse intersection in the current eastern residential area around property no. 14, the oldest Jewish cemetery near the city was located until the end of the 18th century. In 1780 the Jewish community was asked to close this cemetery. According to Jewish belief, the existing graves had to be reburied in a new cemetery. The community was only allowed to move the graves shortly before the future urban development of the site on Kasernenstrasse. It was not until 1788 that the community received the requested new site for a new cemetery on Bongardstrasse in what would later be the Pempelfort district . At the time of the road expansion, obviously not all graves had been relocated in time and were built over. During the construction of the canal on Kasernenstrasse in 1884, south of the intersection with Grabenstrasse, a Jewish gravestone with the date of death 1774 was excavated. A skeleton was also found in this street area in 2009 during road construction work for the subway .

1800 to 1900

Increased urban development of the site on Kasernenstrasse began at the beginning of the 19th century when the northern area of ​​Carlstadt had already been laid out and the internal defenses south of Wallstrasse had been leveled. After the demolition of the city wall and the filling of the moats in this area of ​​the old town and Carlstadt, the Kasernenstrasse was extended a little to the north to Wallstrasse. As early as 1800 the property extended from the building at Carlsplatz No. 18 to Kasernenstrasse. After 1802 the remains of the St. Paulus bastion, which were located at the southern end of Kasernenstrasse, were leveled. As the “Municipality Charte” of the city of Düsseldorf from 1830 shows, both the moat and the remains of the protective waters extended to the southern end of Kasernenstrasse and blocked access to the areas south of the city. From an address book from 1842/3 it can be seen that at this point in time the land on Kasernenstrasse and the barracks area were almost completely built on, even from the level of Benratherstrasse.

It was not until 1831 that the passage from Kasernenstrasse to the areas in the south was opened and Elisabethstrasse was created by building a dam over the remains of the former protective waters there. However, this new southern connection to the surrounding area was not allowed to be used for the transport of taxable goods such as grain or meat products to the city.

After the relocation of the Hubertus Hospital, St. Anna's Church was initially still a Catholic town church. From October 18, 1816, in addition to the Catholic mass, Protestant services were also regularly held in the church. On September 30, 1824, the church was converted into a Protestant garrison church by cabinet order , which was also a simultaneous garrison church for the Catholics.

In 1818 and 1822, the infantry barracks, which had been set up in the former Hubertus Hospital, were extended towards the parade ground to a square complex with an open courtyard. In 1834, additional stables were built to accommodate horses, which were built on the west side of Kasernenstrasse from about the height of Bastionstrasse in the direction of Haroldstrasse. In the city map from 1890, this arrangement can be seen with free areas around the horse stables. The area of ​​the stables had lot number 69. Only the corner lot on Haroldstraße after the stables did not belong to the military treasury and house no. 71 was built on.

In the second half of the 19th century, the following are worth mentioning for the further development of Kasernenstrasse:

  • As early as 1859, the Prussian Royal Post Office 1, which was located on Poststrasse 1021 in 1856, on the corner of Kasernenstrasse in the building at Haroldstrasse 22. The Royal Upper Post Office had its offices in this building until the beginning of the 20th century. Opposite on the west side of Kasernenstrasse was the last building No. 71 with the “Hotel zur Post”.
  • From 1874 to 1875 the previous small synagogue was adapted to the increasing number of Jews in the city and rebuilt in order to enlarge it. The inauguration of this converted Old Synagogue took place on September 10, 1875.
  • On February 18, 1876, the "Burgplatz- Bergisch-Märkischer-Bahnhof " line was opened as the first horse-drawn railway line in Düsseldorf . The line ran from Burgplatz to Grabenstraße and from there via Kasernenstraße to the station mentioned, which was in the area of ​​the later Graf-Adolf-Platz . As early as 1898/99, the tracks for this line were laid from Kasernenstrasse to Hohestrasse. In the last decades of the 19th century, as in the entire old city area, the area of ​​Kasernenstrasse was modernized. These included:
  • 1876 ​​Laying of gas pipes
  • 1880 Construction of alluvial canals to clean the roads towards the Düssel
  • 1884 Laying of new sewer pipes made of clay pipes, including channels for the drainage of rainwater
  • 1890 Permission to install private gas lanterns
  • 1897/98 Laying of power cables for electric street lighting and the connection of private consumers

Towards the end of the 19th century, the barracks area between Stadtgraben and Kasernenstraße obstructed the road connection between the old core city and the new urban areas that had emerged in the south. Since the former outskirts of the area had meanwhile become a central city location, negotiations between the city administration and the military administration began in 1899 about relocating the barracks area. The land on the east side of Kasernenstrasse was recorded as follows in the land register at that time: From the corner of Benrather Strasse there was an artillery barracks with no.28, then the garrison church under no.30, another barracks under no.32, then No. 34, the main guard, under No. 36 another barracks and finally the building No. 38 with the garrison administration and the district command. After this last building of the garrison complex, the post office followed as a corner building in front of Haroldstrasse.

The relocation was contractually agreed on May 17, 1900 between the military treasury and the city administration. The necessary areas for the construction of the new streets in the area of ​​the barracks area with parade ground were given to the city free of charge. The agreed services also included the construction of all new roads in this area. The costs for this were taken over by the military treasury and the city only contributed the lighting and planting street trees. As early as 1900, the military began to move the first parts of the troops to new barracks in other urban areas.

The plans for the construction of the new roads through the area of ​​the barracks were drawn up. At the beginning of 1902, the newly built roads and the associated land were handed over to the city. In the area of ​​Kasernenstrasse the following were newly laid out:

  • Extension of Bastionstrasse from Kasernenstrasse to Kanalstrasse and
  • the new cross connection, Carl-Theodor-Straße, from Kasernenstraße to Kanalstraße at the level of Bahnstraße.
Great Synagogue from 1904

In addition, the necessary facilities for the drainage of the streets and the area including the exerxing area were laid out by early 1903 and the street areas were asphalted. Until the military treasury bought the barracks in 1904, the military relocated its troops and administrations from these inner areas to other areas of the city. All buildings and stables on the barracks area, including the garrison church of St. Anna , were demolished.

Even before the acquisition of the barracks site east of Kasernenstrasse by the city of Düsseldorf and the abandonment of the old buildings, the military treasury sold individual plots in advance to other buyers. This included, for example, property number 69, on which horse stables were located and which was sold around the end of 1902. The buyers for the northern part of this property were the Israeli community and for the southern part the Düsseldorf District Office. The previous synagogue, located on the properties at Kasernenstrasse 17 and 19, had become too small. A new Great Synagogue was built from 1903 to 1904 on the acquired property no. 69a (designated as 67b from 1904) and inaugurated in September 1904. After the opening of the Great Synagogue, the old synagogue was demolished and two new buildings, No. 17 and 19, were erected on the site between 1905 and 1906. The Israelite Congregation, which was still the owner until 1913, sold both properties. In 1914, the architect Heinrich Vehling (1868–1944) built a residential and commercial building on the double site, in which the Deutsche Volksbank operated a branch until the mid-1920s.

Royal District Office Düsseldorf, Kasernenstrasse 69

From 1904, the following new buildings were built, which were located in the former area of ​​the barracks directly on Kasernenstrasse:

  • The plot no. 40/48 to the barracks, corner of Carl-Theodor-Straße, was about to buy the end of 1903 by the owner, the military treasury. The construction business H. Rang & Co. (construction and demolition materials and coal dealers) was based there. From 1904 to 1905 the construction company Boswau & Knauer built the new Düsseldorf-based company, which opened at the end of October 1905, based on a design by the Berlin architect Bernhard Sehring Playhouse .
  • The Royal District Office of Düsseldorf was built on property no. 69b (later no. 69) until 1906 . In addition to the district office, the administrative seat of the Düsseldorf district , this building housed various other offices for municipal institutions in the Düsseldorf district. For example, from 1906 the Kreissparkasse Düsseldorf opened its main office in this building.
  • The Luisen-Gymnasium was built from 1905 to 1907 on the corner of Bastionstrasse. Since the main entrance of the grammar school was on Bastionstraße, the property was listed under the lot number Bastionstraße 24.
  • The Stahlhof , which was built from 1906 to 1908, was located between Breite Straße and Kasernenstraße on the south side of the extended Bastionstraße, on which the main entrance to this building is located and which was recorded under Bastionstraße 39.

In addition to the buildings on the east side of Kasernenstrasse, which were built on the former military premises at the beginning of the 20th century, various other older buildings on Kasernenstrasse were either rebuilt or replaced by new ones after being demolished from the end of the 19th century. These included, for example:

  • The plot no. 10 with a residential house belonging to 1903 Eduard Neuhaus and had 1904 accepted his heirs. In 1905 the house now listed as "uninhabited" in the address book of that year was rebuilt. At the end of 1905, the renovation with new additional rooms for a pastry shop was completed when, from 1905, the later well-known Düsseldorf pastry chef “Otto Bittner” opened his pastry shop here as a tenant. Otto Bittner acquired the building at the end of 1908, and from 1909 he can be verified as the owner. Around 1911 Otto Bittner also bought the neighboring houses No. 12 and 14 and enlarged his business premises by converting these three houses. From April 1, 1912, the first "Café Otto Bittner" was opened in the new building complex No. 10 to 14, which was in operation until it was destroyed in the Second World War .
  • From the beginning of the 20th century, there was a theater on property no. 43 between Benrather Strasse and Bastionstrasse, which for a time was known as a comedy theater. A remarkable development began with the acquisition of this building by the Höfel'sche Brewery around 1897. From 1898 a restaurant was detectable in the building. After the previous tenant of the economy, Joseph Esser, acquired the building in 1903, it was converted into the entertainment establishment “Zum Lämmchen” and operated from 1906 to 1907 under the name “Edentheater”. In 1908 this theater was renamed "Lustspielhaus". Around 1914, the comedy theater was acquired by Heinrich Winzen and converted into a "winter garden", a theater variety theater. During the time of the renovation, a theater was briefly carried out in the neighboring building No. 45. In 1920, after another change of ownership under Karl Weiß at No. 43, the "Wintergarten" was still in operation. In 1922 it was converted into the cabaret of the same name by the Czardas-Kabarett GmbH as the owner. The Czardas-Kabarett GmbH went bankrupt in 1928. After being acquired by the widow Emil Flöthe, it was reopened in 1930 as a Trianon cabaret and dance theater. In 1936 the Wicküler brewery was owned and continued to operate the theater under the name “Tanzpalast Trianon” until the Second World War .
  • The properties at Kasernenstrasse No. 61 to 67a (currently No. 61 and 63) were located north of the Great Synagogue. Around 1905 the local health insurance fund for factory workers and metal workers erected a building on plot No. 67a that became the nucleus of the AOK administration complex in Düsseldorf and is called the old AOK administration building . From 1908 for the first time, in addition to the local health insurance fund for factory workers and metal workers, the joint local health insurance fund and the association of health insurance funds could be found in the same building. From 1909 these operated under the name "Association of Local Health Insurance Funds", which was later called AOK for short . In 1926, the AOK was the first owner of rental house no. 67 and from 1927 also of rental houses no. 61, 63 and 65. However, at this point in time the apartments in the newly acquired building were still rented. Only in house number 65 was the AOK's orthopedic workshop set up in 1927. From 1929, no more private tenants were listed in any of the buildings from 61 to 67a.
  • The ownership of the building at Kasernenstrasse No. 28 changed in the early 1930s. Commerz- und Privatbank AG was given as the owner for the first time in the 1933 address book. Since Heinrich Thonemann was still the owner in the previous year's book, ownership must have been transferred in 1932.
  • The rolled steel house was built from 1938 to 1940 between the Stahlhof and the Schauspielhaus on property no.36. In a more modern design, the building was adapted to the steel courtyard.
  • As already mentioned, the Düsseldorf main post office was located on the corner plot of eastern Kasernenstrasse and the current Graf-Adolf-Platz at the beginning of the 20th century. At the beginning of the 1920s, further buildings for the telegraph office (1922) and telecommunications office 1 (1951) were erected north of this building for the main post office between Breite Strasse and Kasernenstrasse.

From 1945

Kasernenstrasse 17-19 (2018)

As in the entire city area, many buildings on Kasernenstrasse were badly damaged or destroyed during World War II . The Great Synagogue went up in flames during the so-called Reichskristallnacht at the beginning of November 1938 and the ruins were removed by the end of the same month. On the now undeveloped area of Kasernenstrasse 67 , a large public protective bunker was laid out for the townspeople until the beginning of the war. After the end of the war, there were initially hardly any hotel rooms left in the city. The city therefore converted the bunker into the “Stadt Düsseldorf” hotel in 1946 and leased it. The hotel was opened on October 1, 1946. The leased hotel was in operation until at least the 1960s. Around 1980 a new commercial building was built on the property. After completion, the Handelsblatt publishing group moved into the building at Kasernenstrasse 67 in 1983 .

With the reconstruction of the destroyed houses and the repair of the damaged houses from the end of the 1940s, the development in the area of ​​the intersection of Grabenstrasse and Kasernenstrasse was changed and the latter was extended to the north as far as Flinger Strasse. To the west of the Carsch-Haus is now the Kasernenstrasse No. 1a office building. The commercial and residential building built on the double site of the former Old Synagogue No. 17/19 after the turn of the century was also largely destroyed in the war. During the reconstruction, however, parts of the old facade could still be used, as can be seen in the current photo of the building.

Düsseldorf - Kasernenstrasse 69 + 69a - Kreissparkasse

A new cross connection was created between Kasernenstrasse and the end of Hohestrasse on Schwanenmarkt at the level of Carl-Theodor-Strasse, Siegfried-Klein-Strasse. Until the end of the war there was a free pedestrian area between the Great Synagogue and the District Office, but it ended in front of the built-up property line on the eastern side of the Schwanenmarkt. The badly damaged district office building was provisionally repaired again after 1945 and used for municipal facilities. The building was later demolished and the new development was now adapted to the divided plots No. 69 and 69a with the new construction of the Kreissparkasse Düsseldorf. The main entrance of the Sparkasse is on the west side of Kasernenstrasse in a central connecting wing. This connects two parts of the building, a lower one on Kasernenstrasse and a high-rise. The broadside of the latter is on Siegfried-Klein-Straße and extends over the entire southern side of the street to Schwanenmarkt. Another entrance is located here at Schwanenmarkt 10.

Some of the destroyed or badly damaged buildings were used for other purposes after restoration. This applies, among other things, to the playhouse at Kasernenstrasse 40/48 . After the war it was not rebuilt at the old location. The new location of the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus is between Gustaf-Gründgens-Platz and Hofgarten . Instead, commercial building No. 40 was rebuilt on the former site on Kasernenstrasse.

The Café Otto Bittner on Kasernenstrasse No. 10-14 , which burned down during the war, was also no longer operated at the site. Instead, after the restoration, the city rented the premises, and from October 1, 1946, the city library was temporarily located there. In 1952, the sublease for this location was terminated and the library had to leave the building. Otto Bittner later reopened one of his operations in a newly built corner building at Kasernenstrasse 10. Until it closed in the early 2000s, the new café was located on the side of the corner building on Grabenstrasse in the area of ​​the city bridge.

The construction of the Heinrich-Heine-Allee underground station in the 1970s was hampered by the location of the Carsch building . The building was demolished and rebuilt further west in front of Kasernenstrasse, re-using the historical exterior cladding between 1979 and 1984.

Since 2000

Düsseldorf, Kasernenstrasse 39, Commerzbank high-rise

The restructuring of properties and the conversion or new construction of buildings in downtown Düsseldorf, which began at the beginning of the 21st century, also affected Kasernenstrasse. This also applies to foreign investors who acquire real estate in a favorable city location and either modernize it at great expense or rebuild it on a larger scale after the existing buildings are demolished. For example, the commercial building at Kasernenstrasse No. 1, built in 1954 and renovated in 2010, was sold to a group of foreign investors in 2011. The same happened with Commerzbank's new high-rise after the war on the west side of Kasernenstrasse 39, which the bank sold in 2015. Other areas of the building were bought up, demolished and replaced by new, modern commercial buildings. Examples for this are:

  • All Deutsche Post buildings between Carl-Theodor-Straße and Graf-Adolf-Platz were demolished at the beginning of the 21st century and this location was abandoned by the Post. The historic facade of the telegraph office on Carl-Theodor-Straße remained. In the southern part of the area, a modern and striking office high-rise with a glass facade, known as GAP for short , was built around 2005 . In the northern area, a new office building with a restaurant was built using the old facade. The southern area of ​​this new building has the postal number Kasernenstrasse 44, while the north side is registered under Carl-Theodor-Strasse no.
  • The houses at Kasernenstrasse 51 and Bastionstrasse 14 and 18 were bought in 2014. According to the plan, they should be torn down together and then the "Carlsquartier" built in this area. The demolition of the old building began in November 2015. In 2016, the American investor Hines acquired the buildings at Kasernenstrasse 39 (Commerzbank high-rise) and 45 to 49 with the associated park area. Furthermore, Hines took over the previous Carlsquartier building project from property developer Immofinanz. The project was stopped and the construction site closed. After an extended building permit was issued, construction activities continued from around mid-2017 for the creation of a large new business and office area. (As of August 2017)

The new construction of the Wehrhahn Line in Düsseldorf from the end of 2007 also led to considerable and permanent disabilities on Kasernenstrasse, as extensive and time-consuming work had to be carried out underground. These did not end after the new subway went into operation at the beginning of 2016. Although the above-ground tram traffic on Kasernenstrasse was completed with the commissioning of the new subway lines in early 2016, traffic is still severely impaired by road construction sites between Grabenstrasse and Bastionstrasse . Due to the location of the former Jewish cemetery, the originally planned planning for the laying of the underground lines and canals in the Kasernenstrasse area had to be changed in order not to impair the peace of the dead . As a result, despite the completion of the subway, further additional work was required in the area of ​​the road, which was estimated at least until the end of 2017. (As of July 2017) The cemetery was tunneled under and remained untouched.

outlook

By laying the tram underground, it is necessary to redesign Kasernenstrasse with the removal of the railway tracks. Furthermore, the current construction of the new Carlsquartier on the west side between Benrather Strasse and Bastionstrasse will change the appearance of Kasernenstrasse in this area at short notice. After the current road works have been completed, the entire road will also have to be revised. This applies particularly to the area north of Wallstrasse, as this became a pedestrian area after the aboveground tram traffic ended. For profit reasons, the few buildings on Kasernenstrasse that are still simple and have not been renovated or renewed after being demolished will probably also be replaced by new buildings in the foreseeable future. These include, for example, the buildings at Kasernenstrasse 59 and 57 and the southwest corner building at 55 on Bastionstrasse. However, the latter has been renovated since summer 2017.

The relocation of the Luisen-Gymnasium to Völklinger Straße is currently being examined. The trigger for the considerations is the limited space required in the school with an increasing number of students. Since around 100 million euros could probably be achieved for the sale of this property in the area of ​​Kasernenstrasse and Bastionstrasse to a group of investors, a new school building could be financed for the city without any problems and at no cost. The inner city of Düsseldorf remains a sought-after location for complex renovation and new construction projects.

Remarks

  1. ↑ The current building numbers listed are only partially identical to the old ones. Due to the frequent amalgamation of the originally smaller plots into larger ones, the numbering has changed significantly in some cases.
  2. ↑ In the address book of 1929 the date 1784 is given for the expansion of the path to a street (p. [963] 186). This date can only be correct if the current northern course of Kasernenstrasse to Benrather Strasse was only laid out after 1788 and the closure of the Jewish cemetery . Since the bridge over the moat was further east, the path must first have started further east for its northern area.
  3. ↑ A sketch that is included in the cited report on the "History of the Jewish Community" shows the current area northeast of Benrather Strasse as the location of the Jewish cemetery with a lower bulge running southwest. This bulge was part of the later course of the Kasernenstrasse.
  4. ↑ Up until the Second World War, buildings stood on the north side of the street from the confluence of Kasernenstrasse and Wallstrasse, blocking the passage to Flinger Strasse. This situation is clearly recognizable in the address book of the city of Düsseldorf and the rural communities with the city map from 1908. (Proof: 1908, p. [1429] -.)
  5. ↑ Carl-Theodor-Straße originally began on Kasernenstraße; a cross connection to Hohestraße / Schwanenmarkt was not available until 1945.
