The Stephanienufer is part of the Rhine promenade in Mannheim 's Lindenhof district .

history

It is named after the Grand Duchess Stéphanie Louise Adrienne de Beauharnais (also Stéphanie Napoléon , 1789–1860), who campaigned for the redesign of the palace gardens and the banks of the Rhine. 1799–1821 Mannheim's fortress was razed and laid out from the observatory to the so-called Schnickenloch as an English garden, which was open to the population. The only exception was the princess garden, which was only used by the Grand Duchess and her three daughters.

In 1832, Grand Duchess Stéphanie had a promenade built from Mannheim Castle to the Waldpark , which at that time still belonged to Neckarau , and donated it to the city, which completed it by 1836. In honor of the Grand Duchess, it was named Stephanienpromenade. The northern part in the castle park was called Rheinpromenade from 1907, the section between Rheinparkstraße and Waldpark from 1919 Stephanienufer.

Todays situation

Today's Stephanienufer runs along the residential development on the Rhine and is designed as a bicycle road that is part of the 1,230 km long Rhine Cycle Route ("Veloroute Rhein"). To the north, the street “Stephanienufer” in the area of ​​the Rheinwiesen continues through the street “Rheinpromenade” to the Rheinvorlandstraße at the Konrad-Adenauer-Brücke . The southernmost part of the former Stephanienpromenade continues with the name "Stephanienstraße" from the Stephanienufer into the forest park to the Rondellplatz.

At the beginning of the forest park, about halfway along the former Stephanienpromenade, stands the Stephanie monument, a replica of the original from 1907 made of epoxy resin , which is located in the castle museum. The statue was created in 1907 by the sculptor Konrad Taucher after a painting by François Gérard from Lasa marble . It was originally in the castle park, then in the forest park - since 1989 as a replica.

The bank of the Rhine between the Konrad-Adenauer-Brücke and the Altrheinarm Bellenkrappen at the forest park is a popular path for walkers and joggers. The adjacent Rhine meadows offer opportunities for picnics and relaxation.

Eichelsheim Castle

Eichelsheim Castle stood here

The Eichelsheim fortification stood on today's Stephanienufer, mentioned for the first time as a customs post in 1265 and expanded into a castle beginning in the 14th century. It was the place of captivity of Antipope John XXIII. (Summer 1416 to January 1419) and of Bishop Georg von Metz after the Battle of Seckenheim (1462). Eichelsheim Castle was also involved in fighting during the Thirty Years' War and the War of the Palatinate Succession and was ultimately badly damaged. Remains of the fortress were visible until the 19th century.
