In 1973, the tram line 23 became A3 when the line at the southern end of the tunnel going into Frankfurt was extended from the Hauptwache to Theaterplatz.
A3 Oberursel-Hohemark – Heddernheim – Hauptwache – Hauptbahnhof
In 1978, a new timetable was set up on 27 May. At the same time, the tram line A3 was put out of service, and instead, the new U3 connected Hohemark with the Theaterplatz in Frankfurt.
U3 Hohemark – Heddernheim – Theaterplatz.
This postcard shows the area closest to the station Portstraße (coming from Lahnstraße). The same old high-rise buildings on the right are still there today. And just as unpleasant to look at.
The U-Bahn station Portstraße was renamed into Altstadt just in time for the Hessentag 2011 in Oberursel.
To have the U3 public transportation serve the Oberursel community, the city has to pay a yearly due of euro 1.3 million to the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV).
