The street is part of Bundesstraße 44 and is used by the Frankfurt am Main tram along its entire length .
course
Friedensbrücke - Kennedyallee
The northern part of Stresemannallee is very broad for the high volume of traffic. It has four lanes in each direction. In the middle there is a green area that accommodates the tracks of the tram. On this section, which is the southern extension of the Frankfurter Alleenring , the Bundesstraße 44 runs, which merges into the Kennedyallee to the southwest . The intersection with Kennedyallee is one of the busiest points in Frankfurt.
Lines 12, 19 and 21 of the Frankfurt am Main tram branch off after the Stresemannallee / Gartenstraße stop in the west towards Niederrad and lines 16 and 19 east towards Südbahnhof . For line 15, the Stresemannallee / Gartenstrasse stop is the only point of contact with Stresemannallee. The line runs here from Niederrad in the direction of Südbahnhof or from the Südbahnhof in the direction of Niederrad. The tram line 17 finally follows the further course of the Stresemannallee towards the south.
Kennedyallee - Mörfelder Landstrasse
Until shortly before the S-Bahn station Ffm.-Stresemanallee , Stresemannallee is still very wide and has a green strip in the middle. In this section, the tram tracks are routed east of the green strip as grass tracks. Then the street narrows and crosses under the embankment with the overhead S-Bahn station and a tram station. Behind the railway facilities the home settlement begins on the western side of the street, to the east is the Tyrolean Park and some high-rise buildings as well as an adventure playground. At the end of this section there is a track triangle on which the tram tracks from Mörfelder Landstraße (line 14) also flow into the southern part of Stresemannallee.
Fritz Kissel settlement
The southern part of the street is dominated by the high-rise residential buildings of the Fritz-Kissel-Siedlung . After a few meters, both lanes run along the east side of the tram tracks until Stresemannallee finally joins Gablonzer Strasse to the east. A footpath leads from there a few meters further south to the Louisa Bahnhof tram stop and the Frankfurt-Louisa train station .
history
The route of the Stresemannallee was originally part of the Main-Neckar Railway in its northern area . This once led from the south, coming from Louisa train station, over the Main-Neckar-Brücke (now Friedensbrücke) to the Main-Neckar-Bahnhof at today's Willy-Brandt-Platz . Until the bridge was completed and could be used from November 15, 1848, the trains turned in Mainspitze station for two years and continued to the old Sachsenhausen station (later renamed Frankfurt Local Station ). The Mainspitze train station was located roughly in the area of the current Stresemannallee / Gartenstraße tram stop .
After the construction of the Frankfurt Central Station in 1888, the entire railway system was swiveled about one kilometer to the west. The Main-Neckar Bridge and the northern part of the old railway line were bought by the City of Frankfurt and converted for road traffic.
The southern part of Stresemannallee was only laid out in the 1930s together with the home settlement and was originally supposed to lead about one and a half kilometers further south through the Frankfurt city forest to the Isenburg aisle .
In the course of the construction of own tracks for the S-Bahn on the southern outer branches, here along the Main-Neckar-Bahn and the construction of the S-Bahn station Stresemannallee , the old street underpass of the Stresemannallee was replaced by a much wider one around 1990 longer east of it replaced. This now also offers space for a tram route including a stop. The road swung north and south of the underpass.
Surname
Initially, the street was called Wilhelmstraße , after Wilhelm II , who was German Emperor and King of Prussia from 1888 to 1918 . During the Weimar Republic , the "monarchist" street name was initially retained until it was replaced by a "republican" one at the end of 1929. The street was now called Gustav-Stresemann-Allee , after the German Foreign Minister and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate who died on October 3, 1929 . The honor of the democratic politician Stresemann was reversed in the National Socialist state in 1935. With the name Saarallee , the dictatorship now reminded of the reintegration of the Saar area into the German Empire . In 1945, after the collapse of the Nazi dictatorship, Frankfurt returned to the name Gustav-Stresemann-Allee .
Local public transport (ÖPNV)
The two S-Bahn stations Stresemannallee and Frankfurt-Louisa are located on Stresemannallee and are served by the S-Bahn lines S3 and S4 in the direction of Langen / Darmstadt main station and Bad Soden / Kronberg station . While Louisa was in operation as a regional train station long before that, the Stresemannallee train station was not set up until 1990.
In the period from December 2013 to December 2014, a new tram route was built in the section between Mörfelder Landstrasse and Paul-Ehrlich-Strasse. There were resident protests there because of the necessary interventions in the trees and in the area of an adventure playground .
