from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stresemannstrasse under the Sternbrücke

The Stresemannstraße is a multi-lane federal highway in Hamburg , located in the east by Neuer Pferdemarkt / Budapest street (at the district border between St. Pauli and Sternschanze ) to Bahrenfelder Chaussee in Bahr field extends to the west for a distance of three kilometers. In 1945 it was named in this total length after the former Chancellor Gustav Stresemann .

location

Stresemannstrasse is part of Bundesstrasse 4 between Neuer Pferdemarkt and Holstenstrasse / Kieler Strasse ; to the west of Kieler Strasse, it is the southeastern beginning of Bundesstrasse 431 . It is crossed by several main roads and runs under the Sternbrücke and between Plöner Straße and Kohlentwiete under several railway lines . Residents in the St. Pauli district are the Police Commissioner 16 (Lerchenstrasse) and in the Altona-Nord district the Neue Flora musical theater and the Holstenstrasse S-Bahn station . Further west on the directly adjacent Kaltenkircher Platz , formerly Sonderburger Platz, was the Altona terminus of the Altona-Kaltenkirchener Eisenbahn from 1912 to 1962 , which after its abandonment was first converted to the central parcel post office 2 and then to the mail distribution center Hamburg-Zentrum of Deutsche Post.

traffic

The four-lane road is one of the main traffic axes in the east-west direction through Hamburg and as such a particularly busy part of the federal highway 4, which is used by long-distance truck traffic as an inner-city connection and shortcut between the federal motorway 7 coming from the north and the federal motorway 24 in the direction Berlin is used. This route is used daily by 28,000 to 39,000 vehicles , including up to 2,700 trucks.

Traffic calming

On August 27, 1991, a nine-year-old girl was run over by a truck on Stresemannstrasse with her bicycle, the driver of which had overlooked a red traffic light. The child did not survive the accident. On October 10, 1991, an eight-year-old boy was hit by a truck at the new horse market and seriously injured. On December 23, 1991, around 5:30 p.m., a small truck caught a 32-year-old mother and her six-year-old daughter as they crossed the intersection at Kaltenkircher Platz.

At that time, an average of 50,000 vehicles rolled through the streets every day, around 6,000 of which were heavy goods vehicles. The EC nitrogen dioxide limit at that time was exceeded on 168 days a year due to the high volume of traffic.

On the initiative of a citizens' movement and after ongoing demonstrations and sitting blockades by residents, the maximum speed allowed on the section from the Neue Flora eastward was reduced to 30 km / h and the second lane was converted into a bus lane . Due to traffic jams, the bus lanes were dismantled again in February 2002 on the instructions of the then Building and Transport Senator Mario Mettbach . Since June 2002 the traffic has been monitored by two stationary speed monitoring systems.

The speed limit on Stresemannstrasse is ignored by many drivers, despite the long-term fixed surveillance. In 2014, the two control devices measured around 65,000 vehicles traveling at a speed of at least 9 km / h. One system was out of operation for eleven weeks and the other for around four weeks due to technical defects. In 2013, only one device was defective for a short time. In that year, around 80,000 vehicles were flashed too fast on Stresemannstrasse at at least 9 km / h.

Air measuring station

In front of the house at Stresemannstrasse 95 there has been a traffic station of the Hamburg air measurement network since 1991. The limit value for nitrogen dioxide is exceeded here. The average concentration of nitrogen dioxide in 2014 was 54 mg / m 3 . The limit value is 40 mg / m 3 .

history

Before 1945, individual sections of Stresemannstrasse had different names: from the New Horse Market to Holstenstrasse it was called Kleine Gärtnerstrasse (1933–1945: General-Litzmann-Strasse ), further west Kreuzweg or Karl-Marx-Strasse and then to Bornkampsweg Bahrenfelder Weg (1933–1945: Schlageterstrasse ).
