Imperial Road
{{About, the imperial medieval roads, other uses, Reichsstraße (other){{!Reichsstraße In medieval times, imperial roads (german: Reichsstraße) were designated routes in the Holy Roman Empire that afforded protection to travellers in return for tolls collected for the emperor. The ''Reichsstraße'' came under royal jurisdiction (''Königsbann'') and travellers were afforded the protection of the ''Landfrieden'', a law that was supposed to ensure peace and unhindered passage similar to the Queen's peace. From the 10th century it was also extended to bridges and ferries. Under King Henry I of Germany the term ''Reichsstrasse'' (''des riches strâze'' in Middle High German) was used for the first time as a translation of ''strata imperialis''. According to Charlemagne's legislation, based on Gallic public law, the maintenance of roads, the responsibility for transport infrastructure and security were part of the duties and privileges of the king, his "regalia".

Road Name
A street name is an identifying name given to a street or road. In toponymic terminology, names of streets and roads are referred to as hodonyms (from Ancient Greek, Greek ‘road’, and ‘name’). The street name usually forms part of the address (geography), address (though addresses in some parts of the world, notably most of Japanese addressing system, Japan, make no reference to street names). Buildings are often given House numbering, numbers along the street to further help identify them. Odonymy is the study of road names. Names are often given in a two-part form: an individual name known as the ''specific'', and an indicator of the type of street, known as the ''generic''. Examples are "Main Road", "Fleet Street" and "Park Avenue". The type of street stated, however, can sometimes be misleading: a street named "Park Avenue" need not have the characteristics of an avenue (landscape), avenue in the generic sense. Some street names have only one element, such as "T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Reichsautobahn
The ''Reichsautobahn'' system was the beginning of the German autobahns under Nazi Germany. There had been previous plans for controlled-access highways in Germany under the Weimar Republic, and two had been constructed, but work had yet to start on long-distance highways. After previously opposing plans for a highway network, the Nazis embraced them after coming to power and presented the project as Hitler's own idea. They were termed "Adolf Hitler's roads" ("german: Straßen Adolf Hitlers") and presented as a major contribution to the reduction of unemployment. Other reasons for the project included enabling Germans to explore and appreciate their country, and there was a strong aesthetic element to the execution of the project under the Third Reich; military applications, although to a lesser extent than has often been thought; a permanent monument to the Third Reich, often compared to the pyramids; and general promotion of motoring as a modernization that in itself had milita ...
