The Wiesbaden street is a two-kilometer road in Berlin . It begins in east-west direction at the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz in the district of Friedenau , Tempelhof-Schöneberg . After crossing the district boundary to the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district , it leads through the Wilmersdorf district to Mecklenburgische Strasse / Breiten Strasse , where it reaches the Schmargendorf district boundary .
Districts, naming, first development
The original route of this road is said to have been an old route from Friedenau across the corridor from Wilmersdorf to Schmargendorf. It is not yet shown on a map from 1869, i.e. before Friedenau was founded.
- In Friedenau leading from the center to Schmargendorf street from 26 October 1872 was officially Schmargendorfer street called. The street west of Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz was renamed Kasseler Straße around 1890 and was given its current name around 1902, named after the city of Wiesbaden . The eastern part, on the other hand, has been separated by a church since 1891 , has never been renamed and still bears the old name today.
- In Wilmersdorf the street is already referred to as Wiesbadener Straße on a city map from 1893 . Around 1905, a Wiesbadener Platz was designated on the south side of the street west of Binger Straße , and about 20 years later it was repealed. The section was completely undeveloped until at least 1908, and in 1913 only two houses stood on the border with Friedenau. The Luisenstädtischer Bildungsverein states that the street in Wilmersdorf only officially received this name on August 19, 1909, while the address book "for 1908" also specifies planned street names that will probably only become effective during the usage time of the address book so that those looking for it will then can also orientate yourself on it.
- The western part of the street originally ran in Schmargendorf . Norderneyer Strasse was laid out on the border , perhaps only partially planned. Today this only exists in its southern section and no longer reaches Wiesbadener Straße, instead the inconspicuous Franz-Cornelsen-Weg runs here . Around 1939 this section came to the Wilmersdorf district.
An aerial photo from 1928 shows that Wiesbadener Strasse was only expanded in 1928 on the part to the east of today's motorway overhaul. To the west of it was a small-scale area with many paths, probably an allotment garden colony . Wiesbadener Straße leads through as one of many narrow paths, Norderneyer Straße does not exist in this area. The city maps from that time, on which only a few streets are shown in this area, only represent the state of planning at that time.
course
From Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz to Laubacher Straße (Friedenau area)
Wiesbadener Strasse begins at Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz at the level of the Church of the Good Shepherd . She cruises at Schillerplatz the Stubenrauchstraße . Originally this square was laid out in the form of a roundabout and was named Schmargendorfer Platz in the early days of the Friedenau community . Like Wiesbadener Straße, it was part of the Friedenauer Carstenn figure , a regular urban arrangement of streets and squares, the counterpart of which is today's Renée-Sintenis-Platz (until 1967 Wilmersdorfer Platz ) east of Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the death of the poet Friedrich Schiller , it was given its current name in May 1905. At that time it had been redesigned to a decorative place with horticultural facilities. In order to ensure a better flow of traffic at the end of the 1950s (especially that of the BVG omnibus line 17 to the Grunewald S-Bahn station ), Wiesbadener Strasse was widened in 1957 and led across Stubenrauchstrasse at a right angle. Originally, it was planned to officially abolish Schillerplatz in 1960, but this was not done. Today the small Schiller Park as a small, four-part green area still bears witness to the former shape of the square.
Further to the west, the street - here lined with plane trees - passes the sports field of the Rheingau Oberschule between Homuth and Rheingaustraße on the southern side . The poet Rainer Maria Rilke lived not far from here at Rheingaustraße 8 . Wiesbadener Strasse leaves the Friedenau district at the (traffic-technically complicated) double intersection of Laubacher Strasse and Südwestkorso . On the south-west parade that crosses Wiesbadener Strasse, the first bicycle lanes in Berlin were laid out in the mid-1980s as a model test in the course of the “Veloroute K” , which have since proven themselves.
From the Laubacher to Mecklenburgische Strasse (Wilmersdorfer area)
After the intersection with the Südwestkorso, Wiesbadener Straße leaves the Friedenau district and runs through the Rheingau district in the Wilmersdorf district . Parts of this location, with Rüdesheimer Platz only a few meters away , was completed around 1905 by Georg Haberland under aesthetic aspects and - inspired by reforming ideas from English country-style architecture - completed around 1910. This housing estate around Rüdesheimer Platz is considered to be an exemplary early form of relaxed architecture in the countryside.
From Rüdesheimer Strasse, Wiesbadener Strasse continues past gardens and loose buildings - among other things, the IBZ Berlin is located on Aßmannshauser Strasse - and crosses Johannisberger and Binger Strasse up to the Schlangenbader Strasse motorway development , a residential complex that serves as the feeder (formerly: A 104 ) to the Berlin city ring covered like a tunnel and was built between 1976 and 1980. The main building of this development has a total length of 600 meters and a maximum height of 46 meters. It has 14 storeys in the middle blocks and contains 1064 residential units. This makes it one of the largest contiguous residential complexes in Europe. A further 694 residential units are housed in the adjacent perimeter development, which results in a total of 1758 residential units on the site. A total of 120 different floor plans were implemented.
In the last 400 meters of Wiesbadener Straße there is a small shopping center to the north, before it ends at the intersection of Mecklenburgische and Breite Straße. If you continue to the west you will reach the center of Schmargendorf via Breite Straße.
traffic
The full length of Wiesbadener Straße is traversed by bus line 186. The Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz underground station is located on Bundesallee . The U9 trains run here (between Osloer Straße and Rathaus Steglitz ). The U3 trains , which run between Warschauer Straße and Krumme Lanke , leave the Rüdesheimer Platz underground station .
Wiesbadener Straße is a popular connection for cyclists from the city center to the nearby Grunewald because the volume of traffic here is less than on comparable roads.
