Rennweg (Würzburg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oeggtor, also called Rennweger Tor, which represents the transition between Residenzplatz and Rennweg.

The Rennweg in Würzburg is the street that is located between Residenzplatz and Rottendorferstraße and is approx. 350 meters long.

On this street there is a bus stop Rennweg, Würzburg, which is served by various bus routes. This road is of particular importance for the population of Würzburg not only because of the connection to an ambulance station of the Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe , on which 3 ambulances and a NEF are stationed, and the professional fire department Würzburg.

Public benefit

The emergency services use the road several times a day to get to downtown Würzburg quickly in the event of an emergency. The Würzburg fire brigade, which uses the Rennweg, for example, to be quick on operations on the BAB 7 or BAB 3 , uses this street up to several times a day. Driving on the Rennweg is also a quick alternative for the fire brigade's rescue workers to get to work quickly outside of Würzburg city center. A much longer and, due to the traffic situation, more dangerous route to get from the fire station in Würzburg to missions outside the old town would be via the Berliner Ring.

The Rennweg also divides the Ringpark into two halves.

The buses of the Würzburg bus route 6, bus route 14, bus route 29, bus route 114, bus route 214 stop at the Rennweg, Würzburg bus stop.

At the eastern end of the street of Rennweg, a memorial to the composer Valentin Becker, who was born in Würzburg, has been on display since September 29, 1894 . Becker composed, among other things, the song of the Franks . Together with other bronze figures, this was also brought to Hamburg to be melted down during the Second World War , but for unknown reasons it was never destroyed there. In 1953 the memorial was re-issued after it was discovered by chance and later returned to Würzburg.

Johann Georg Oegg bronze monument, near the Rennweger Tor that he built.

On the west lies the beginning of the race route is the Oegg -Denkmal which the Tyrolean blacksmith and court locksmith Johann Georg Oegg dedicated is. Oegg, who in turn created the Rennweger Tor and the courtyard lattice of the Residenz , was given a street after his death that bears his name, a memorial south on Rennweg and a plaque on his former home in Kapuzinerstraße in Würzburg.
