On December 3, 1964, the municipal council decided to name a street in the development area east of the park field in Biebrich after the chemist and Nobel Prize winner Carl Bosch (1874-1940). The municipal council thus followed the suggestion of the deputation for street naming, which had proposed the chemist as the namesake for traffic areas in the development area in consultation with the Biebrich local advisory council.

Carl Bosch was born in Cologne on August 27, 1874. After graduating from the upper secondary school there, he completed a practical year in the Silesian metallurgical industry. He then studied metallurgy and mechanical engineering at Charlottenburg Technical University (now Berlin). From 1896, Bosch studied chemistry at the University of Leipzig and completed his studies in 1898 with a doctorate.

One year later, Bosch joined the Badische Anilin- und Sodafabrik (BASF) in Ludwigshafen. In 1909, he was commissioned to apply a process developed by Fritz Haber for the production of nitrogen fertilizer for the BASF Group. Together with Friedrich Bergius, Carl Bosch was awarded the 1931 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the development of this process, which was known as the Haber-Bosch process.

After the outbreak of the First World War, Bosch made the so-called nitrate pledge to the War Ministry in 1914. As a result, the production of fertilizers was switched to saltpetre, which was necessary for the manufacture of explosives. Bosch became a full member of BASF's Board of Executive Directors in 1916 and was appointed Chairman three years later.

At the Versailles peace negotiations, in which the industrialist took part as an expert, he became the chief negotiator on the German side and prevented the destruction of the German chemical industry.

At Bosch's instigation, eight chemical companies joined forces in 1925 to form the Interessengemeinschaft Farbenindustrie AG (I.G. Farben), of which Bosch became chairman of the board. Chemische Fabrik Kalle & Co. based in Biebrich was also a member of the syndicate.

At the end of the 1920s, the NSDAP was open to I.G. Farben's research. Bosch approved a donation of RM 400,000 to the election campaign fund of the NSDAP and the German National People's Party (DNVP).

After the National Socialists seized power in 1933 and lengthy negotiations, I.G. Farben and the German Reich signed the so-called Gasoline Agreement. Bosch continued his work as a chemical industry functionary under the auspices of the young "Third Reich". He was a member of the short-lived General Council of German Industry in 1933, and also became a member of the Senate of the Reich Council of German Industry and Chairman of the Chemical Industry Section of the Chemical Industry Economic Group.

At an initial meeting between Hitler and Bosch in May 1933, Bosch raised the issue of the persecution of the Jews because he believed it jeopardized the future of German chemical and physical research. After the meeting, Hitler rejected Bosch as spokesman for the General Council of German Industry. At the first and only meeting of this council, Bosch had agreed to stand for election as council spokesman after no other candidate had been found.

Bosch's relationship with the Nazi regime remained ambivalent. He supported economic measures and views, while at the same time criticizing the coercive measures against Jews and personally standing up for Jewish colleagues.

Initially, Bosch did not draw any personal consequences from the policies he criticized, although the political developments in Germany and the growing threat of war plunged the entrepreneur into bouts of depression and alcoholism.

Due to increased criticism of the Nazi regime, he finally had to relinquish many of his offices in 1939. He attempted suicide, but failed. Carl Bosch died in Heidelberg on April 26, 1940. Numerous streets and buildings, including schools, and a moon crater are named after Bosch.

Due to his support of the Nazi regime by approving donations to the NSDAP as Chairman of the Board of Management of I.G. Farben and the damage he himself suffered at the hands of the Nazi regime, the Historical Expert Commission appointed by the City Council in 2020 to review traffic areas, buildings and facilities named after people in the state capital of Wiesbaden recommended the contextualization of Carl-Bosch-Straße.
