Lintertstrasse

Brief info

• Project: Redesign of bicycle traffic routing
• Objective: Expansion of the Aachen Brand priority cycle route
• Schedule:
  January-March 2026: Early expansion of Rosenweg ramp
  From Q4 2026 to 2027: Redesign of Lintertstrasse after the end of the Regionetz measure
  
• Project phase: Construction preparation

Current

From January 2026, construction work will begin on the early construction of the cycle ramp on Rosenweg, including the conversion of the Adenauerallee bus stop. This work is part of the planning for the Aachen-Brand Lintertstraße priority cycle route.

The early implementation is being carried out in order to ensure a suitable cycle route to and from Altstraße - as part of the Aachen-Brand priority cycle route - parallel to the construction site during the Regionetz district heating expansion in Lintertstraße.

The construction time for the construction of the bicycle ramp and the conversion of the bus stop is expected to take three months.

The redesign of the cycle route in Lintertstraße will begin after the completion of the work by Regionetz, which is scheduled for completion in the 4th quarter of 2026.

Map

Occasion and goal

Lintertstraße is part of the Brand priority cycle route. It is the third route of the planned cycle priority network to be implemented. The cycling facilities between Adenauerallee and Schönforststraße are to be upgraded.

Today's situation

Linterstraße is a classified road (district road K 35) with two lanes. It has a cross-sectional load of around 11,400 vehicles at the Lintertstrasse/Schönforststrasse junction. It also has an important connecting function between Aachen-Mitte and the southern districts of Brand, Kornelimünster and Walheim. With the exception of a section along the municipal Catholic elementary school Forster Linde, the speed limit on Lintertstraße is 50 km/h.

The sidewalk is open to cyclists in both directions, measuring around 2.50 meters towards the city and around 3.00 meters away from the city. There are around 92 parking spaces along Linterstraße in the section between Adenauerallee and Schönforststraße (approx. 39 on the northern and 53 on the southern side of the street). In the same section, there are 43 large linden trees worthy of protection between the parking spaces on the northern side of the road. The trees planted on one side of the street are a particular feature of the streetscape.
City bus route 16 runs every half hour on Lintertstraße.

Planning

The current planning status, which will be implemented, has developed from the political consultation on various options and the participation of citizens in the planning process. This includes the following key points:

• Dual cycle traffic routing between Adenauerallee and Auf dem Plue. Modified lane allocation at the Altstraße/Adenauerallee/Lintertstraße junction and marking of protective lanes as well as the creation of a new cycle connection from Adenauerallee to Rosenweg
• Raising the carriageway at all junctions in Lintertstrasse to calm traffic and create a barrier-free crossing point for pedestrians
• Creation of a protective cycle lane between Adenauerallee and Schönforststraße and modification of the lane layout in front of the Schönforststraße junction as well as reduction of the traffic light system there to a pedestrian demand traffic light in combination with the guidance of left-turning cycle traffic from Lintertstraße in the direction of Schönforststraße or Sittarder Straße
• Barrier-free expansion of bus stops:
• Adenauerallee in the direction of Trierer Straße
• Staudenweg in both directions including central island to calm traffic
• Forster Linde heading out of town
• Full development of the area in front of houses no. 58 to 72 with level development including the creation of car and bike sharing facilities and special parking spaces for e-charging and people with disabilities
• Construction of a three-meter-wide cycle path on the north-eastern side of the road between Sittarder Straße and Auf dem Plue
• Adaptation/new construction of the ancillary facilities on both sides between Schönforststraße and Sittarder Straße or elementary school.
