The road Alt-Biesdorf is a section of the - on a common route out - federal highways B 1 / B 5 in Berlin 's Marzahn-Hellersdorf . It is a west-east street and lies entirely in the district of Biesdorf . In the old village center of Biesdorf, the road runs in two separate lanes around the preserved historic Anger with the Biesdorf village church . Evidence from the building period in the 19th century has been preserved on both sides and has been listed as a historical monument . On the northern side there is also Biesdorf Castle with the castle park and the Biesdorfer Höhe . Alt-Biesdorf also describes the historic village center of Biesdorf.
History of the road
The east-west trade and military route between Berlin and Frankfurt (Oder) was paved as a road in the 19th century . From 1932 it was a section of Reichsstrasse 1 from Aachen via Berlin to Königsberg . Its alignment east of Berlin originally connected the village centers of Friedrichsfelde , Biesdorf, Kaulsdorf and Mahlsdorf , so it ran in a wave form in a west-east direction. It was not widened and straightened until the 20th century in order to better cope with the increasing amount of vehicle traffic.
The former trunk road served as one of the entry areas for the Red Army to conquer Berlin in April 1945.
In 1952, the Biesdorfer Berg or the Biesdorfer Höhe, with the adjoining flat area, is sometimes referred to as the Biesdorfer Heide from a rubble storage area in the Wuhletal on the northeast side of this road. Several tons of rubble from demolished house ruins from downtown Berlin were brought here by means of a rubble train . Today the area is part of the Wuhletal landscape park .
Despite brisk residential construction activity in East Berlin from the 1960s to 1980s, no new quarters or prefabricated buildings were built along this road . The construction of the Blumberger Damm and the capping of the continuity of the Oberfeldstraße for motor traffic (both streets descend northwards) fall during this time.
It was only after the political change that a few commercial units were built in the southern area of Blumberger Damm , primarily a BMW branch directly on the northeast corner . To the south, across from the Biesdorfer Berg, some residential areas with single-family houses were built on former agricultural land and connected to Alt-Biesdorf with a new road system. In addition, a hardware store, a gas station and other trades have set up along Alt-Biesdorf.
Buildings and green spaces
South side, house number range 1–53
In a west-east direction, Alt-Biesdorf begins directly with the Märkische Allee bridge , which was built in the 1980s to make the access to the new development areas in Marzahn cross-free. Behind the confluence of Lötschbergstrasse, a railway bridge crosses the road that connects the Berlin outer freight ring with the Kostrzyn – Berlin railway line . Alt-Biesdorf forks at the junction of Grabensprung / Oberfeldstraße. In the middle of the Anger, the historic village jug is preserved. This is followed by the village church of Biesdorf , built in the 13th century , followed by a former school building.
The south side is occupied by listed residential buildings from the end of the 19th century (house numbers 17–32) and by an earlier factory site, the brick walls of which extend to the confluence with Köpenicker Straße. After the intersection, the two lanes meet again, only separated by a continuous strip of lawn.
A short block of houses (numbers 33-35, including number 33 with the police station 72) is now followed by the bridge for the U5 line of the Berlin subway over the Alt-Biesdorf street. Then some of the new access roads go south to the eastern end (house numbers 38–53n) and lead to commercial areas and residential buildings. Alt-Biesdorf ends on the road bridge over the Wuhle and turns into Alt-Kaulsdorf .
North side, house number range 54–79
From the eastern end of the road, the aforementioned Wuhletal landscape park stretches along for about one kilometer. Then, before the underground bridge, the Biesdorfer Friedhofsweg goes northwards (named in 1995, previously nameless), which leads to the listed municipal cemetery of Biesdorf .
Some farms that were rebuilt in Alt-Biesdorf after the fire in 1839 have been renovated and have been under monument protection since the 1970s (numbers 5-66 to the north in the area of the former village green; numbers 67 to the western end of the street -75). The district office of the Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen party is located in Alt-Biesdorf 62 . Alt-Biesdorf 63 is the parish hall of the Protestant village parish .
In addition to the residential buildings, the Biesdorf Palace Park, also called Biesdorfer Stadtpark, is worth mentioning, which covers an area of around 14 hectares and extends between Blumberger Damm and Oberfeldstrasse. The renovated Biesdorf Castle (Alt-Biesdorf 55) is located in the area and is used as a cultural site.
Public transport
The bus line 108 ( S + U-Lichtenberg station -Waldesruh) is traveling Alt-Biesdorf between the west end and the road grave jump. The area around the village green can also be reached from the Biesdorf S-Bahn station . Finally, the Elsterwerdaer Platz underground station enables the Angers and the Blumberger Damm - Köpenicker Straße area to be reached. The crossing area is also served in the north-south direction by bus route 154.
Between 1956 and 1973 the O-bus line O37 ran on the western section to Oberfeldstraße.
