At the weir ditch 120
in the district 		"Wehrgraben", part of the old Landwehr 1929 The moat was part of the Landwehr system that ran from Emmerich to the Ruhr. At Biefang the Marienbach also belonged to the Landwehr and formed the ditch that separated Holten / Biefang from Sterkrade. Instead of the Marienbach, the main Sterkrade canal now carries the water to the Handbach. The street Am Wehrgraben branches off from Erlenstraße in Weierheide, crosses the main canal and ends in Biefang on Königstraße. Until 1929 it was called Landwehrstrasse , but because there was already a "Landwehr" in Alstaden / Styrum, the name was changed.
Ardesstrasse 60
in the district 		"Ardeshof", old farm The Ardesstraße is the developed access road to the Ardeshof, which is now in the Hamborner area, and is therefore named after it. It branches off from Kurfürstenstrasse and is continued in Hamborn-Röttgersbach.
Beeckstrasse 190
in the district 		Beeck , district of Duisburg 1937 Beeckstraße leads from Biefang to the Duisburg district of Beeck and therefore bears its name. Originally it branched off from Friesenstraße on the Emscher, crossed Beerenstraße and led to Duisburg in the Buschhausen area. Today the road is separated due to the construction of the motorway. Until 1937 the western part of the street was called Ruhrorter Strasse , while the eastern part was assigned to Hülskathstrasse.
Berry Street 1400
in the district 		Overgrown with berry bushes 1903 Blackberries used to grow here on the roadsides, after which the road was named. The road branches off as a footpath from the Dienststrasse, curves in the direction of Beeck and then crosses Beeckstrasse at the level of the Autobahn, crosses the Emscher and continues in the Black Heath. Today the street is separated by the A3. The Catholic Chapel of St. Konrad is located on Beerenstrasse and is now part of the Liebfrauen community in the Black Heath. Until 1903 the street was called Grenzweg , because it separated the offices of Holten (Biefang) and Beeck (Buschhausen).
Biefangstrasse 450
in the district 		named after Biefang himself The Biefangstraße begins in the Schwarzen Heide, forms the border between this district and Biefang and merges into the Königstraße in Biefang. Thus it leads from Sterkrade to Biefang and is therefore named after this district. Originally there was the “Amt Holten” here (in contrast to the “Stadt und Feldmark Holten”, today's Holten), which in 1892 was named “Amt Biefang”. In 1908 the municipalities "Stadt und Feldmark Holten" and Biefang were merged and in 1917 incorporated into the city of Sterkrade.
Service road 1100 Relation to hand and clamping services before 1720 Dienststrasse is one of the oldest streets in the district, both in itself and in name. Already in 1720 the "way, called Dienst Straße" is mentioned. The name is derived from the consideration for rights of use that farmers had to provide, so-called hand and tension services. The Dienststrasse leads from Rathenauplatz as an extension of Kurfürstenstrasse to Beerenstrasse.
Edmundstrasse 270
without access roads: 190 		Edmund , male first name 1929 This cul-de-sac to Beerenstrasse was named arbitrarily after the male first name. Until 1929 it was called Blumenstrasse .
Erlenstrasse 290
in the district 		Alder , tree genus The Erlenstraße runs mostly in the Weierheide in the neighboring district of Schwarze Heide, only a little bit south of the main canal Sterkrade belongs to Biefang. The clubhouse and the sports field of the gymnastics club Biefang 1912 e. V. Erlenstraße is named after the fact that many alders grew in the heather areas that used to be here.
Friesenstrasse 90
in the district 		Frisians , population group 1933 The Friesenstraße is named after the Germanic tribe of the Frisians. Most of it is in Buschhausen, where some streets are named after German tribes and countries, just a short distance between Beerenstrasse and Beeckstrasse in Biefang. Until 1933 it was called Nordoberhausener Strasse , then Friesenstrasse , and between 1937 and 1945 Ernst-Weinstein-Strasse .
Goerdelerstrasse 250 Carl Friedrich Goerdeler , 1884–1945, leading head of the resistance movement Carl Goerdeler became the leading head of the resistance movement after the outbreak of World War II and helped plan the assassination attempt on July 20, 1944 .

Some streets in the area are named after resistance fighters (Leberstrasse, Von-Ossietzky-Strasse).
Holderstrasse 260 possibly related to elderberry 1936 There were probably many elder bushes here in the past, after which this connection between Weidenstrasse and Biefangstrasse was named. Until 1917 the western (Biefanger) part of the street was called Oststraße , the eastern (Sterkrader) part was called Kleinestraße . Until 1936, both parts were called Kleinestraße together , and since then Holderstraße.
Hülskathstrasse 280
in the district 		Hülskath, mayor of Biefang 1929 Around 1900, Hülskath was the head of the Biefang district. The Hülskathstrasse is named after him, which leads from the Weidenstrasse to the Schwarze Heide. Until 1929 the western part (Biefanger) was assigned to Markgrafenstraße.
Small Hülskathstrasse 150 The cul-de-sac to Hülskathstrasse Kleine Hülskathstraße is a dead end to Hülskathstraße and is therefore named in relation to it.
Kolkmannstrasse 160 "Kolkmannshof", old farm The Kolkmannshof used to be located here. Kolkmannstrasse is a cul-de-sac to Biefangstrasse, on it is the “Königschule” elementary school, which was built in 1964, but goes back to the older Biefanger Königschule, which was established in 1753 through donations from King Frederick the Great . The Biefang market square used to be on the site of today's Königschule.
Koenigstrasse 1300 Homage to the Prussian royal family around 1753 The name of the thoroughfare from Sterkrade to Hamborn, documented as early as the 18th century, is a reference to the Prussian royal house, probably above all to King Frederick the Great, who made the establishment of the Biefanger Königschule possible with a donation in 1753. Königstraße begins as a continuation of Kaiser-Friedrich-Straße in Hamborn-Röttgersbach on the city limits, crosses Biefang and merges into Biefangstraße at the border with Schwarzen Heide. In 1734 it was called Biefanger Straße .
Cow path 900
in the district 		"Kuhgraben", stream course The Kuhweg is a long dirt road between Biefang and Holten, which runs along the Kuhgraben and is therefore named after it. It begins in Biefang on Kolkmannstrasse,
Kurfürstenstrasse 800
in the district 		Friedrich Wilhelm , 1620–1688, called the "Great Elector" 1917 The Kurfürstenstrasse, which leads from Rathenauplatz to Holten, was named in honor of the Great Elector. It used to be called Leichweg or Notweg because Biefang (at that time still "Amt Holten") did not have its own cemetery and the dead were brought to Holten via this route. Until 1917, the Biefanger part of the street was called Markgrafenstraße .
Leberstrasse 240
(all road sections together) 		Julius Leber , 1891–1945, resistance fighter Julius Leber was a journalist and member of the Reichstag who was involved in the resistance against National Socialism and was involved in the assassination attempt of July 20, 1944 .

Leberstraße is a small connection between Kuhweg and Goerdelerstraße, some streets in the area are named after resistance against National Socialism (Goerdelerstraße, Von-Ossietzky-Straße).
Markgrafenstrasse 400 Margrave , title of nobility Until 1917 there was already a Markgrafenstrasse in Biefang, today's Kurfürstenstrasse. Possibly there was a reference to “Mark” in the sense of “border” because it ran very close to the border with Hamborn. Today's Markgrafenstraße, which leads from Beerenstraße to Biefangstraße, continues the historical significance of the old Markgrafenstraße, because it forms the border with the Black Heath.
Rathenauplatz 20 × 20 Walter Rathenau , 1867–1922, Reich Foreign Minister, murdered by nationalists in 1922 1947 Walter Rathenau organized the supply of raw materials during the First World War, became an expert on reparations issues in 1919, Reich Minister for Reconstruction in 1922 and Reich Minister for Foreign Policy in the same year.

Von-Ossietzky-Straße, named after him, forms a cul-de-sac to Kurfürstenstraße in Biefanger Mitte. Some streets in the area are named after resistance against National Socialism (Goerdelerstraße, Leberstraße).
Weidenstrasse 650 Willows , tree genus On the Weidenstrasse, which connects Königstrasse and Hülskathstrasse, there used to be some pastures after which the street is named.
Weierstrasse 170
in the district 		“Weierhorst”, an area with many quarries The Weierstraße comes from the Weierheide and leads through the "Weierhorst". Both areas consisted of terrain with many breakwaters, after which the road takes its name. It ends in Biefang on Biefangstrasse.
