Nordhäuser Strasse
The Nordhäuser road is a major arterial road in Erfurt . It connects the Andreastor on the edge of the old town in the south with the Gispersleben district in the north , over a length of about 4100 meters . It leads through the districts of Andreasvorstadt , Berliner Platz , Moskauer Platz and Gispersleben. It is named after the city of Nordhausen , towards which it leads.
history
The road was already important in the Middle Ages as a trade route from Erfurt to Nordhausen. After Erfurt lost its status as a fortress city in 1873 , areas outside the city walls could also be built on. Rapid construction work began in the Andreasflur and Nordhäuser Strasse was laid out as a city street about 30 meters wide. It got its name in 1884, and trams have been running on Nordhäuser Strasse since that time. The first 600-meter-long section of the road was built up until the First World War. Tenement houses in the Wilhelminian style dominate there.
Subsequently, the Erfurt Clinic was built in the middle part of the street and, opposite from 1953, the Erfurt University of Education (now the University of Erfurt ). Further out of town, the prefabricated building areas Berliner Platz and Moskauer Platz were built as part of the large housing estate Erfurt-Nord on Nordhäuser Straße from the 1970s . Opposite was the Thuringia Park , one of the largest shopping centers in the state , after reunification .
Traffic significance
Today, Nordhäuser Straße is particularly important for inner-city traffic, for example to the clinic, the university or the prefabricated building areas on the outskirts. Long-distance traffic ( Bundesstrasse 4 Erfurt – Nordhausen) was relocated to Hannoversche Strasse in the west parallel to Nordhäuser Strasse. Tram lines 3 and 6 (to Riethstraße) or 3 and 1 (from Warschauer Straße) run on Nordhäuser Straße at the nine stops Bergstraße, Baumerstraße, Universität, Klinikum, Riethstraße, Warschauer Straße, Straße der Nations, Thüringenpark and Europaplatz . For the most part, Nordhäuser Strasse has been expanded to four lanes with a separate route for the tram.
The inner-city continuation is Andreasstrasse to Domplatz . In the north it turns into Sondershäuser Strasse (districts of Gispersleben and Kühnhausen ).
