1. Marktstraße und Schlossstraße Marker - Front
Die Marktstraße in einer Fotografie aus der Zeit vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg, aufgenommen von der Schloßstraße aus in ost-westlicher Richtung. Die Fotografie belegt, dass viele der damaligen Wohn- und Geschäftshäuser durch Neubau- und Renovierungsmaßnahmen während des 19. Jahrhunderts ein weitgehend einheitliches Erscheinungsbild erhalten hatten (linke Bildhälfte). Die in den Jahren 1782–1784 errichtete Protestantische Kirche (heute: Versöhnungskirche) überragt die umliegenden Häuser bei weitem. Über ihrem, der Marktstraße zugewandten, Portal erinnert eine Inschrift an die Erbauung durch die Germersheimer reformierte Gemeinde.
Schlossstraße
Blick von der Marktstraße in die Schlossstraße, wie er sich in den 1950er Jahren dem Betrachter darbot. Die Bezeichnung „Schlossstraße“ erinnert a den Standort der Burganlage („Schloss“) in diesem Bereich, die 1674 von französischen Truppen zerstört worden war. Am rechten Bildrand: das Gebäude des Gesundheitsamtes.
Marktstraße
This photograph of Market Street from before the First World War was taken from Castle Street, looking east to west. It shows that many of the residential and commercial buildings of that time had acquired a largely uniform appearance through construction and renovation work during the 19th century, as seen in the left half of the photograph. The Protestant Church, built between 1782 and 1784 and now known as the Church of Reconciliation, rises far above the surrounding houses. An inscription above its portal facing Market Street commemorates its construction by Germersheim’s Reformed congregation.
