introduction

Street signs for Kirchstrasse and Schloßweg in Altenkirchen

The street names used in the city of Altenkirchen (Westerwald) are relatively young. Up until the 18th century the terms “street”, “square” and “avenue” did not appear at all. An inner-city street was called "Gaß", later "Gasse". The basic word “-straße” appears for the first time (apart from the connecting roads to Frankfurt am Main , Koblenz , Cologne or Siegen ) with the centrally located Wilhelmstraße ; this was also the first street name honoring a person. Ultimately, however, it was not until the end of the 19th century that streets were named after people, such as “Blücherplatz”, named after Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher , at the northern end of Wilhelmstrasse and Schloßplatz .

After the town fire of 1893, the municipal council decided to name all streets; they had previously remained anonymous or the common parlance had found the collective term "dirt alley". Some had popular names such as "Vordergasse" (today Wilhelmstrasse ) or "Hintergasse" (today Marktstrasse ).

During the Weimar Republic, field marshals August von Mackensen ("Mackensenstrasse", since 1951 again Frankfurter Strasse ) or Paul von Hindenburg ("Hindenburgstrasse", today again Rathausstrasse ) were used as namesake . The National Socialists erased street names that they did not like; so the lower section of Kumpstrasse became Adolf-Hitler-Strasse and Im Hähnchen became Hermann-Göring-Strasse .

In the post-war period , social reformers such as Theodor Fliedner or Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen were upgraded with street names. Names of the post-war period had cultural ( Von-Kleist-Straße ) or political ( Konrad-Adenauer-Platz ) backgrounds, but were in many cases mostly harmless and were reminiscent of plants, rivers , field names or districts . Since 1947, following a recommendation by the City Council , “street name fields” have been used in new development areas, as was used in Leuzbach or Honneroth. There are fields of street names with trees (since the 1970s in the new development area of ​​the Leuzbach district) and writers since the 1970 / 80s in the Honneroth district.

Some of the local street names are related to local or regional people or issues; mostly with the use of historical district names. The local personality Friedrich Emmerich was honored, as well as the Count of Sayn and the other historical surroundings in connection with Altenkirchen.

spelling

Altenkirchen generally adheres to the guidelines for the spelling of street names published by Duden-Verlag . The most important rules are:

• The first word of a street name is capitalized, e.g. B. On the Altdriesch .
• Street names are written together, consisting of a noun (or a name) and a basic word typical of street names such as B. Street , Gasse , Weg , Platz exist: Mühlengasse, Wilhelmstrasse .
• If the first component is an adjective that is inflected, it is written separately.
• The hyphenation also applies to adjectival derivatives of place and country names: Kölner Straße .
• The hyphen is used when the definition of the basic word consists of several words. So Von-Kleist-Strasse .
