The Reuterweg is a street in the Frankfurt district of Westend .
location
The street begins at numbers 44 and 46 of the Bockenheimer facility and runs north to Wolfsgangstrasse , after which number 115 it ends. The Reuterweg is the geographical continuation of the Mainzer Landstrasse coming from the southwest , from which it is only separated by the Bockenheimer Anlage and Taunusanlage in between . In the north, Reuterweg continues through Bremer Straße, which is directly connected to Bremer Platz.
history
The path originally used by riders got its name in 1846 because Reuter was an old form of the word rider . In 1888 it was expanded as a street, for which part of the Rothschild Park was sacrificed.
Both the Frankfurt Marathon and the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge take place via Reuterweg.
Distinctive points
The Opera Tower is right at the beginning of the street . Immediately to the north of this is Rothschildpark , which runs west of Reuterweg and opposite the Die Welle building complex on the eastern edge of the street . The Instituto Cervantes is located on the northern border of the park, with the entrance at number 1 on Staufenstrasse, which runs westwards.
In the winter of 1919/20, the dramaturge and writer Paul Kornfeld (1889–1942) lived in house number 75.
House number 91, at the end of Reuterweg, served as a Jewish retirement home before the Nazi era and as a collection camp for “Western workers” during the Second World War. At times, up to 175 people were accommodated in the 24-room building.
