The Zobelstraße , until about 1920 Kleine Pfingstweidstraße , is a street in the Frankfurt district of Ostend , a cross street of the Hanauer Landstraße . The oldest surviving section of the Frankfurt am Main tram , opened in 1875, runs through the almost 80-meter-long Zobelstraße and the Bernhard-Grzimek-Allee to the north .
The street was built around 1800 on the southwestern edge of the Pfingstweide, a historical open space outside the historic old town, which served as a parade ground in the early 19th century and to which the Frankfurt Zoo moved in 1874 .
As early as 1848, at the confluence of the Kleine Pfingstweidstrasse and the Röderbergweg in the Hanauer Landstrasse, the Hanauer Bahnhof opened , the Frankfurt terminus of the private company operated railway line to Hanau . The chief engineer of the route construction was Johann Peter Wilhelm Zobel , whose name the road bears today. With the opening of today's Ostbahnhof in 1913, the Hanau train station was shut down, then the railway facilities were demolished and the areas were urbanized.
After severe bomb damage in the Second World War, the eastern side of Zobelstrasse was built with high-rise apartment buildings in the 1960s and the Röderbergweg, which had previously flowed into it, was suspended, making it a dead end.
Today the Zobelstraße connects the Hanauer Landstraße with the streets Bernhard-Grzimek-Allee and Am Tiergarten . It has separate lanes for road traffic (one-way street, direction Hanauer Landstraße) and tram . It is used by tram lines 14 and the Ebbelwei-Express . The only cross street is the Röderbergweg , which is only connected to the street by a footpath, in the direction of Ostpark. A tram stop on Hanauer Landstrasse is named after her.
