Gottlieb Road Location Map
Gottlieb Road was named after Felix Henri Gottlieb, a German lawyer of probably Jewish descent, who worked for the British government in Penang between 1846 and 1882. Gottlieb is quite likely a Freemason as the Gottlieb Lodge of the Penang Masonic Temple was probably named after him.
Gottlieb Road is the site for Penang Chinese Girls' High School, the biggest girls' school in Penang. The road is very congested during lunch rush hour, when it is packed with school buses waiting to fetch the students home and some dropping the students for afternoon school.
Getting there
Gottlieb Road is best reached by private transport. Right now Rapid Penang bus 102 has been started and it passes through Gottlieb Road.
