As an extension of Rembertistraße, Parkallee begins in the Ostertor "quarter" southeast of the main station at the intersection with the An der Weide street - except for Schleifmühle , where the Parkallee 1 property is located. The Friedenstunnel crosses under the Wanne-Eickel-Hamburg or Wunstorf-Bremen railroad and reaches the Schwachhausen district , where after a short section through the Barkhof district , which is designated as a bicycle road, the heavily frequented Am Stern traffic circle with a total of six entrances is reached becomes.

history

Surname

The Park Avenue was called until 1888 Kuhgrabenweg , named after the later to the little ones Wümme filled- Kuhgraben , and by 1890 congestion Allee , after the court congestion (named after the case contained impoundment of Kuhgrabens) in the Feldmark Pagentorn. In January 1890 it was decided to rename it to Parkallee.

development

In pre-industrial times, the Kuhgraben ran along today's Parkallee from the Wümme towards the city center, where it connected to the Dobben to the south of today's railway underpass .

During the development of the Pagentorn Feldmark in the 19th century, the Stauallee was laid out parallel to the Kuhgraben. In 1890 the southern part of the Kuhgraben was filled in, the part up to the traffic jam in 1893. On the Kuhgraben area gained in this way, the street now called Parkallee was paved and widened. The Pagentorn farmers gradually sold their farms on Parkallee as building land, and in 1898 the street name “Parkallee” appeared in the address book for the first time.

In order to secure its character as a residential street, the city ordered a special development plan for the Bürgerparkallee in 1891 . No commercial operations were allowed to be built, only residential houses and associated outbuildings, the latter only thirty meters away from the street front. No more than two houses next to each other were allowed. At least a third of the width of the building site had to remain undeveloped and the smallest depth of the front gardens had to be ten meters. These provisions were valid until 1940.

traffic

In April 1891 a petroleum railway went into operation on Parkallee, but was shut down again in 1893 after various breakdowns.

The Parkbahn operated on Parkallee from September 1910 to December 1911 .

During the Nazi era , two air raid shelters were built on Parkallee on the eastern edge of the Bürgerpark and have been preserved. At least in the second half of World War II , however, these were only available to the population to a very limited extent. The Wehrmacht command and other offices moved into bunker B31 at Benquestrasse. The bunker B32 across from the end of Bulthauptstraße initially served the 8th Flak-Division as a command post and later became known as "Government Bunker" from the NSDAP - district administration , the mayor and the police chief claimed.
