List of streets and squares in Eilenburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eilenburg with its city and districts

The list of streets and squares in Eilenburg contains all named streets and squares of the large district town of Eilenburg in the northern Saxony district , including the districts of Behlitz , Hainichen , Kospa , Pressen , Wedelwitz and Zschettgau . The names of the streets give a profound insight into the local object and field names and are a reflection of more than a thousand years of local history .

The streets of Eilenburg already had names in the Middle Ages . At that time it was customary to name streets after a local craft guild ( Badergasse , Töpfergasse ), certain institutions ( Marstallgasse , Pfarrgasse ), the direction of the route or other contexts ( Neue Gasse , Kuhgasse ). In 1861 there was a first wave of renaming. The displacement of -gassen favor of car washes should match the character of the growing industrial city. The city expansion in the following decades made many new names necessary, which were both typical of the time ( Bismarckstraße , Wilhelmstraße ) and regional origins ( Schützenstraße , Röberstraße , Samuelisdamm ). During National Socialism , the north and south rings were given propaganda names ( Adolf-Hitler-Ring , Hermann-Göring-Ring ), a new settlement in Eilenburg-Ost was given names of Danziger suburbs ( Olivaer Straße , Langfuhrer Straße ).

During the times of the GDR there were a large number of renaming and renaming, with street names from the imperial era also disappearing. The names after the socialist theorists ( Karl-Marx-Siedlung , Friedrich-Engels-Strasse ), politicians ( Rosa-Luxemburg-Strasse , Fritz-Heckert-Strasse ) and local resistance fighters ( Kurt-Bennewitz-Strasse , Hermann-Michaelis-Strasse ) should express a new social order. Russian writers ( Pushkinstrasse , Maxim-Gorki-Platz ) were also taken into account. A residential area built in the 1980s was given the names of well-known composers ( Mozartstrasse , Beethovenstrasse ) and was popularly known as the Musikerviertel. After reunification , some of these street names disappeared ( Dr.-Otto-Nuschke-Straße , Platz der DSF , Siedlung der Solidarität ), but most of them have survived to this day. The recent renaming mostly go back to local and local historical events or arise from the imagination ( Am Mühlgraben , Henriweg , Sonneneck ).

In Eilenburg there are currently 224 streets and squares named. The city has 86.5 kilometers of local roads and 75.7 kilometers of restricted-public roads. There are also district , state and federal roads, the latter running outside of the settlement areas and bearing no names. The most important streets in the city are the streets Bergstraße, Leipziger and Torgauer Straße and Ziegelstraße , which were formerly along Via Regia and later Bundesstraße 87 . These connect the three districts of Eilenburg, Berg, Mitte and Ost . Long-distance traffic has been rolling on a bypass road on the B87 since 2004. Leipziger and Torgauer Strasse have always been the main shopping streets in Eilenburg. In Eilenburg-Ost, Puschkinstraße forms the center of the district.

In public transport Bahnhofstrasse occupies a prominent position. This is passed through by all city and regional bus routes and connects the two central bus stops Bahnhof and Dr.-Külz-Ring . While the regional lines primarily use the main roads, the city bus lines also open up residential areas via the secondary road network.
