History of the road

Praunheim around 1788
Praunheim around 1850

The future Praunheimer Landstrasse of the future municipality of Praunheim was probably laid out in the Middle Ages, as the Lords of Praunheim were Reichschultheiße of the imperial city of Frankfurt am Main. It is documented that in 1827 the street was expanded as a highway . Until the road was rebuilt for the Federal Garden Show in 1989 , the flood protection wall, which was still visible up to that point, was removed. The street was also straightened and the tram line was dismantled to Hausen and the bus line was extended for this purpose. As part of this, a divided footpath with a bike path was laid out from the outside to the inside. Then comes a strip of green with a parking book and finally the road.

Speed ​​and crossings

The entire length of the street is 50 km / h, the crossings are all equipped with traffic lights .

Local public transport

Former local transport

The Praunheimer Landstrasse has always been an important traffic route. Line 18 of the Frankfurt am Main tram has been running since 1913 (as the successor to the privately operated horse-drawn omnibus that had already been in operation before 1872 ) coming from Schönhof to Praunheimer Brücke . In 1928 the bridge became the end point of the new bus connection through the Römerstadt , which connected Praunheim with the stop of the Frankfurter Lokalbahn (later the lines U1, U2 and U3 of the Frankfurt underground ) in neighboring Heddernheim . Until 1986, the Praunheimer Brücke (on the Hausen side) was the final stop of various tram lines (most recently line 18 again). At the same time, the end point of line 67 was relocated to Hausen or the Industriehof .

After the establishment of the underground line U7 , the partially single-track tram line was discontinued and dismantled between the current terminus at Hausen and the Praunheimer Brücke.

Current local transport

There are several stops in Praunheimer Landstraße, the Hausen stop of the U-Bahn being the most important, as it serves as a transfer stop . Bus lines 72 and 73 run in both directions, as well as night bus N2 in the direction of Konstablerwache on the street side with odd house numbers. Lines 72, 73 and N2 stop there .

House numbers and side streets
