Wilhelmsburger Reichsstrasse
The Wilhelmsburger Reichsstraße is a four-lane federal highway in Hamburg that connects the city center with the Harburg district south of the Elbe . It runs freely through the Wilhelmsburg district with three junctions ( Georgswerder , Wilhelmsburg / Rotenhäuser Straße and Wilhelmsburg-Süd / Kornweide). From there it originally continued over the Bridge of June 17th to Harburg, since 1983 it has crossed the Süderelbe over the newly built Europe Bridge to the east of it .
The busy connecting road was planned and built since 1930, but was only completed after the end of the war in 1949 and opened in 1951. In the planning it was first called "Road F", later she would after the former Reich President Friedrich Ebert -Straße hot, but after 1933 was Adolf Hitler street called. After the Second World War it was given its current name.
The federal highways B 4 and B 75 ran over Wilhelmsburger Reichsstraße until 2019 , since the relocation only the B 75. In 2014, around 58,000 vehicles drove on the road every working day.
laying
Between 2013 and 2019, the Wilhelmsburger Reichsstraße route was relocated around 400 meters to the east to the railroad tracks of the Hamburg – Hanover railway line . On the one hand, this measure was intended to bundle the noise pollution from the two heavily traveled traffic axes in one place and to reduce it through improved noise protection. On the other hand, space is to be created for green areas and around 5000 new apartments along the old route.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the new 4.6 kilometer road took place on August 8, 2013 by Federal Transport Minister Peter Ramsauer and the First Mayor Olaf Scholz . The costs of laying rose from the originally estimated 67 to 318 million euros. The new route was opened to traffic on October 6, 2019, one day earlier than planned.
Until the relocation, the Wilhelmsburger Reichsstraße connected the A 252 in the north and A 253 in the south, both of which were downgraded to Bundesstraße 75. In addition, since then the Bundesstraße 4 no longer runs over the Wilhelmsburger Reichsstraße.
