The Sindlinger way street (before 1928 Bahnhof- or Taunusstraße ) is an important street in the district of Frankfurt Sindlingen . It crosses the district in a north-south direction and is its main traffic and shopping street.
Course of the road
The street begins at a small square in the old town center of Sindling, which is also called Dalles in Frankfurt . The Farbenstrasse, Alt-Sindlingen, Huthmacherstrasse, Hakengasse and Westenbergerstrasse flow into it next to Bahnstrasse.
After the dense core development, a Wilhelminian-era edge development with connected backyards follows to the north. The most striking building in this section is the neo-Gothic church of the Protestant community Sindlingen-Süd at the intersection with Gustavsallee. The following section of the street is mainly characterized by the early modern Ferdinand Hoffmann settlement . At the S-Bahn station is Richard-Weidlich-Platz , which is the new center of Sindlingen. There are small shops, restaurants and the community center next to the S-Bahn station. Most of the houses on the roadside are two-story buildings with small front gardens in a neo-classical, Mediterranean style. They follow the model of the garden city movement of the 1920s and are now a listed building .
history
In 1839 the Taunus Railway established a connection between the city of Höchst and Mainz-Kastel . This connection also ran through the northern part of the Sindlingen district. In 1893 the then still independent community received a stop on this route. At that time there was already a road that crossed the Taunus Railway at the stop and continued to the north of Zeilsheim and south to Mainzer Landstrasse (today's Farbenstrasse ). Another railway line was opened in 1877 at the northern end of today's Sindlinger Bahnstraße, the Main-Lahn-Bahn .
The development of the street only began in the 20th century in the southern section. In 1907 the first church of the Protestant parish was built in the originally Catholic Sindlingen. In the following years the so-called villa colony for leading employees of the Hoechst paintworks was built in the area .
From the 1920s , construction of the Höchst-West settlement (today part of the Ferdinand Hofmann settlement ) began in the northern part of the street . When Höchst was incorporated into Frankfurt in 1928, the street was given its current name to avoid confusion. Before that, the section south of the train station was called Bahnhofstrasse and the northern section was called Taunusstrasse . In 1954, Hoechster-Farben-Strasse was built to replace the Farbenstrasse , which ran through the Hoechst AG factory premises , and now bypasses the factory to the north. A roundabout was set up at the intersection with Bahnstraße, which has been rebuilt several times over the years and today has a very complicated traffic route. In 1963 the Sindlingen building , the first town house in Frankfurt , was built at Sindlinger Bahnhof . In the 1970s this house was used by Frankfurt judicial authorities. From 1973 to 1974 trials against the Baader Meinhof group took place there. Due to the heavy traffic, the Sindlinger Bahnstraße was converted into an underpass in the area of the S-Bahn station by 1980.
traffic
The road owes its importance mainly to rail traffic. Despite its short length, it is one of the few streets in Frankfurt with two S-Bahn stations. The older, southern S-Bahn stop dates back to the 19th century and is served by the S1 line (Wiesbaden - Rödermark), while the northern one was only completed at the end of 2006 and is reached by the S2 line (Niedernhausen - Dietzenbach).
Another focus of traffic is bus traffic. The city bus line 54 ( Griesheim train station - Sindlinger Friedhof) and from the Sindlinger roundabout also the line 55 ( Rödelheim - Friedhof) run on Sindlinger Bahnstraße .
The road is also heavily used by private transport. From the roundabout heading south, it is part of the Hessian state road L3006 .
