The Rothschild Boulevard ( Hebrew שְׂדֵרוֹת רוֹטְשִׁילְד Sderōt Rōṭschīld ) is one of the main thoroughfares in central Tel Aviv , Israel . It begins in Neweh Zedeq in the southwest and continues north to the haBimah theater . It is one of the most expensive residential streets in the city and with its buildings in the Bauhaus style and eclecticism, it is also a tourist attraction. The Sderot Rothschild have a wide, tree-lined median strip with a promenade, playgrounds and bike path in their midst. The memorial to the founders of Tel Aviv has been located on the median in the southwestern course of the road since 1949 .

A large number of Bauhaus buildings stand on its outer streets, including the Beit Dizengoff , which was converted by Carl Rubin for use as a museum . One of his museum halls provided the spacious stage when, on May 14, 1948, members of the National Council , the elected executive of the Jewish Palestinians , declared Israel's independence . The hall is open to visitors as a house of independence .

The Sderot Rothschild were founded in 1909 with the establishment of the Jaffa suburb of Achusat Bajit , as Tel Aviv was initially called, in an elongated depression in the dunes of this new development area. The depression was filled with sand, which is why it seemed too unstable as a building site, so that its course was built over in full width with an avenue, the edges of which were then parceled out to building plots. Shortly after its completion, residents requested that the avenue be named in honor of Baron Edmond James de Rothschild .
