Map with all coordinates: The state road 144 of North Rhine-Westphalia connects the valley of Bad Honnef with the uphill district of Aegidienberg . It was built around 1855 as part of the Prussian district road from Honnef via Asbach to Altenkirchen (Westerwald) . The entire length of the state road is part of Deutsche Alleenstraße .
course
The state road begins near the Grafenwerth island in the Rhine at the Honnefer Kreuz bridge structure , which as a junction of the four-lane federal road 42 in the direction of Bonn is of both national and regional importance. It ascends first as Menzenberger Straße on the south side of the old cemetery and then turns left after a traffic light onto the vertical Linzer Straße .
The short section of the L 144 on Linzer Straße is now followed by a so-called Carré solution , in which the traffic is split: Until 2004, the state road there ran solely on the upper main street perpendicular to Linzer Straße. In order to free the narrow main street from the heavy traffic, the Mülheimer Straße below was expanded in connection with the new building of the adjacent International University in 2004, and the main street in 2006/07. On Mülheimer Straße, traffic now runs on one side in the direction of the Schmelztal , while traffic in the direction of the valley runs exclusively on the main road. The traffic in the direction of the mountains (Schmelztal) then turns back onto the wider main street in the further course of Mülheimer Straße, where all traffic now flows in both directions again.
The L 144 now ascends in the direction of the mountain and crosses the district of Beuel . As Schmelztalstraße it leaves the local area of Bad Honnef at the entrance of the valley of the same name. With several partly tight curves it leads on the southern edge of the Siebengebirge through the Honnef city forest past the Jungfernhardt , the Wingsberg , the Schellkopf and the Reisberg . There are several parking spaces, various shelters and a few individual houses on both sides of the street. The Stellweg crosses near the Reisberg , a straight- lined aisle path that leads from Asberg in the upper area of the Siebengebirge Nature Park to Ittenbach . The Ohbach runs parallel to Schmelztalstrasse for large parts . Shortly after the Servatiushof , the state road emerges from the forest and reaches Himberg and Neichen at 292 m above sea level near the districts of Aegidienberg . NHN its highest point. There it ends with the option to turn onto the L 143, which leads to Rottbitze or the center of Aegidienberg.
history
The state road was created in place of an undeveloped road between Honnef and Flammersfeld , the so-called Rheinstraße and as part of the Prussian district road from Honnef via Asbach to Altenkirchen (Westerwald) . The expansion of the road was applied for in the winter of 1852/53, approved in March 1853 and started in the summer of 1853. The municipalities of Honnef and Aegidienberg signed a corresponding contract for the section through the Schmelztal in March 1854. In June 1859 the entire length of the road to Flammersfeld was completed, and in January 1860 a user fee ("Chausseegeld") began to be levied. One of the lifting points ("barriers") at which the road toll was collected was in the Schmelztal at the level of the Einsiedlertal and was named Adlerzeche (after the pit of the same name ). After the extension of the road to Altenkirchen was opened in 1865, the entire route was officially renamed “Honnef – Altenkirchener Straße”.
meaning
The state road 144 is of high regional importance as a mountain-valley connection and as a feeder to the federal motorway 3 between Cologne and Frankfurt am Main . The residents of Aegidienberg and neighboring communities, most of whom are employed in the Bad Honnef and Königswinters valley area or in Bonn , use it as a commuter road. In addition, the L 144 opens up several parking spaces for hikers , from which paths lead into the Siebengebirge, which is used for tourism and for local recreation. In the North Rhine-Westphalian traffic census 2010, a daily load of 5,000–7,500 vehicles was determined for state road 144.
