Rudolf-von-Bennigsen-Ufer in Hanover is the name of a street laid out in the 19th century in what is today the districts of Südstadt and Hanover-Waldhausen . It leads almost in a straight line east along the Maschsee from Kurt-Schwitters-Platz to Riepestrasse .
history
The traffic route, which was paved in 1897 and named after the President of the Prussian Province of Hanover, Rudolf von Bennigsen , who left office in the same year , was originally part of Rudolf-von-Bennigsen-Strasse . The main task of the road west of the Emmerberg at the time was primarily that of a dam , which, as a straight edge road , was intended to contain the floodplain of the Leine , the Masch .
After the construction of the Maschsee in the time of National Socialism , the street running along its banks was renamed Todtufer in the middle of World War II in 1942 after the then Reich Minister Fritz Todt (1824-1942) , and kept this name until 1945.
It was not until 1952 that the street was given its current name as Rudolf-von-Bennigsen-Ufer .
The section of Rudolf-von-Bennigsen-Strasse between Friedrichswall and today's Kurt-Schwitters-Platz , on the other hand, became Am Maschpark and later Willy-Brandt-Allee .
