The Prince George's Street is a street in the Düsseldorf district Pempelfort .

History and description

In 1888, Prinz-Georg-Strasse in Düsseldorf-Pempelfort was laid out as an avenue and named after Prince George of Prussia , who was born in Düsseldorf . The Prinz-Georg-Straße runs on both sides of the northern Düssel , whereby the urban planners of the 19th century left the water on Prinz-Georg-Straße open in the middle of a green area instead of covering and canalizing it like elsewhere. The street extends Jacobistraße to Moltkestraße, which leads into the districts of the northern city extensions at the end of the 19th century. The city planners of the 20th century, under the direction of Friedrich Tamms, had Prinz-Georg-Strasse widened as a north-south axis for Düsseldorf so that “north-south traffic could come to the city center on many railways”.
