Ratzeburger Allee
The Ratzeburger Allee is a street in Lübeck .
location
The approximately 2.58 kilometer long Ratzeburger Allee begins as an extension of the Mühlenbrücke at Mühlentorplatz , in front of the southern tip of the old town island . It runs approximately in a south-easterly direction, initially crossing the federal highway 75 , shortly before its end then the Lübeck – Bad Kleinen railway line . At the confluence of the side street An der Schafbrücke , diagonally opposite the main entrance of the university , it finally turns into the Ratzeburger Landstrasse , where the Grönauer Baum marks the old turnpike at the Lübeck Landgraben . Ratzeburger Allee is located in the St. Jürgen district along its entire length .
history
The Ratzeburger Allee has existed as a country road since the early days of Lübeck in the 12th century ; The route was of great economic importance for centuries as it represented the northernmost section of the connection known as the Old Salt Road to Lüneburg .
Until well into the 19th century, there were mainly a few garden centers , farms and a few summer houses along the extremely loosely built-up Ratzeburger Allee . Only after the gate was lifted in 1864 did the development on both sides of the street slowly become denser as the population of the suburb of St. Jürgen increased. However, closed blocks of Wilhelminian style apartment buildings were never built here, such as on Fackenburger Allee ; in general, the building image remained rather sketchy. In the mid-1930s, a comprehensive, representative expansion of the street in line with the architectural ideals of the III. Rich projects. The route that represented the southern entrance gate to Lübeck was to be lined with long rows of multi-storey brick -built houses . Only a 180-meter-long section on the eastern side of the road was actually built, between the merging streets Amselweg and Nachtigallensteg. Due to its tower-like accentuated side buildings and the long, recessed central section, the desired impression of grouping around a courtyard of honor still exists today, which is fragmentary due to the lack of the structural counterpart on the opposite side. Ratzeburger Allee gets its actual architectural character in this part mainly from residential buildings from the 1950s , some of which were demolished from 2014 (233 cooperative apartments in Ratzeburger Allee 50-74 and 47b-51c), with single-family houses dominating towards the south. A new residential area is to be built by 2020.
It was only given its officially assigned name, which has not been changed since then, in 1869. Until 2007, Ratzeburger Allee operated as Bundesstraße 207 from its intersection with the B 75 ; With the inauguration of a new building route further west, it was downgraded to Landesstraße 331.
