The Nalepastraße is a street in the Berlin district of Oberschöneweide , which leads from the Rummelsburger country road in southern direction to the Siemens road. It is interrupted by the site of the former Nalepastraße radio station , where the GDR radio station was located from 1956 to 1991. In its further course the road crosses the allotment gardens Wilhelmstrand and Am Freibad. It is 2140 meters long.
History until 1937
The street was in the Treptow district until 1937 and was considerably shorter than it is today. It was named in 1904 after Paul Nalepa (1846–1900), dye works owner and community representative ( aldermen ) in Oberschöneweide. At that time only the southern end of today's Nalepastraße existed. There was no development, apart from the two corner properties facing Siemensstrasse. Previously (since 1896) the street was called Alteneckstraße after the technician and designer Friedrich von Hefner-Alteneck (1845–1904). The depot of the Berliner Ostbahnen in the later Nalepastraße was opened in 1901.
From 1906 to 1908 a small stretch of road leading north from Siemensstrasse was built on. Numbers 1-9 were assigned on the west side and numbers 50-54 on the east side. According to the address book, the street ended in 1908 in the royal forest and from 1909 onwards at Straße 1 , a planned street at that time in the course of the later Grenzweg, today Minna-Todenhagen-Straße.
The 5th community school was built on the east side of Nalepastraße in 1914 (house no. 48/49). In the same year, the bathing establishment of the municipality of Oberschöneweide on the banks of the Spree was opened at Nalepastraße 26/27, at the very end of the street. In 1915 the road to the Spree was extended and the access to the bathing establishment was included.
An industrial area was created on the west side of the street, but it was mainly accessed from Tabbertstraße, which is closer to the Spree. The largest operation was the Oberspree zinc refinery at Tabbertstrasse 13, the back of which occupied properties 11–23.
The bathing establishment only existed until 1921, after which its premises also came to Tabbertstrasse. However, Nalepastrasse continued to lead to the Spree. From 1923 the street 5 was added as a cross street, this is today's Helmholtzstraße, which at that time only existed in its eastern part and did not yet reach Nalepastraße.
Nobelshof
Nobelshof , the northern end of today's Nalepastraße, belonged to Köpenick until 1910 and became part of Oberschöneweide in 1910. The “Neue Scheune” forestry department was once located there. A large petroleum warehouse “Nobelshof” (also “Nobels Hof” or “Nobelhof”) was laid out on their former site in 1899, and on the 1907 city map a large building directly on the Spree with its own railway connection. There, in November 1910, three million liters of gasoline exploded and burned for weeks afterwards.
From 1914 to 1937 “Nobelshof” was listed as a street in the address book. There were only a few houses that have belonged to Nalepastraße with new house numbers since 1938.
In the 1925 city map , only the building is called “Nobelshof”. The later Nalepastraße is already listed here as a narrow path, but not named. This path can also be seen on an aerial photo from 1928 and was officially included in Nalepastraße in 1930; there were no houses with numbers in the new area. In the 1932 address book, the Plattnerstrasse leading to the Spree is recorded in this area for the first time, with Nalepastrasse as its boundary.
The name “Nobelshof” is still recorded as a location in city maps from 1955 and 1961, but this name is no longer in use.
History from 1938
In 1938, Oberschöneweide and with it Nalepastraße became part of the Köpenick district as a result of a regional reform . In the north, the “Nobelshof” street was included. All house numbers were completely re-assigned, now the counting began in the north and differentiated between odd numbers (east side of the street) and even numbers (west side of the street).
The construction of the radio house in Nalepastraße began in 1951 in a former plywood factory in the new, northern part of Nalepastraße and was expanded in the following years with numerous new buildings. From 1956 to 1990 the radio of the GDR had its seat here. The Nalepastraße was interrupted in this area.
The industrial line Oberschöneweide , which had already shared the tram depot from 1901, was relocated to Nalepastraße in 1979. The line was shut down in the 1990s.

- ^ Kauperts: Nalepastraße . The statement made there "The northern part of today's Nalepastraße, the former Straße 1 (Nobels Hof), was incorporated into Nalepastraße in 1930" should not be entirely correct, because the houses were listed under "Nobelshof" until 1937, and the " Street 1 ”further south.
