Jaegerstraße was named in 1985 after the lawyer Albert Jaeger (born November 23, 1814 in Kempten ; † February 19, 1884 in Ludwigshafen ). In 1844 Jaeger became managing director and sub-director of the Ludwigsbahnen, twelve years later, in 1856, he succeeded Paul von Denis at the head of the railway company, whose growth he shaped for the next 28 years. Like his predecessor, Jaeger was one of the leaders of Ludwigshafen society. In 1869 he was raised to the personal nobility.
In a house fire on February 3, 2008 , nine people were killed, 60 people were injured, and the 100-year-old building was largely destroyed. The fire is considered the most serious house fire in Ludwigshafen after the Second World War. The fire also attracted particular attention because the dead were exclusively Turks and Germans of Turkish origin. This led to speculation that it could be an arson attack for xenophobic motives.
The Carl-Bosch-Gymnasium is also located on Jaegerstrasse.
