The Schepp Allee (High German: "Schiefe Allee ") is a 750 meter long street in Darmstadt . The street has been a natural monument since 1938, encompassing the avenue with its 160 trees on both sides of the street - mostly pines that are crippled (dialect: "schepp").
Description and history
Today's Schepp Allee in the west of Darmstadt was laid out under Landgrave Ernst Ludwig as an avenue that led to the Griesheimer Haus hunting lodge, which was built in 1713 . The annual rings of a tree felled around 1875 indicated that the trees were planted around 1714.
The strangely grown pines allegedly come from a pine plantation, from which the strange trunk shapes were transformed into an avenue through clearing and selection. On the Hill'schen Prospect by Johann Jakob Hill from 1775, the Schepp Allee was called Tannen Allee on the Stadtschnais .
Surname
The official name of Schepp Allee since its inclusion in the built-up urban area around 1860 was Stadtallee . In 1879 there were 210 "Scheppe" pines, in 1905 there were 114. The pines were crooked and crooked until 1931, as they were then, and were a sight. Popularly it was called "Schepp Allee" since 1932 this is also the official name of the street. After the Second World War , Schepp Allee was densely built up and fortified. Replanting of the pines is usually no longer stunted; the street scene has therefore changed significantly.
Others
On the southern edge of Schepp Allee there is a small park called Akazienpark .
