Turtleneck
The Rollkrug was a tavern in today's Berlin district of Neukölln .
The name Rollkrug goes back to the Rollberge , which continue the slope of the Teltow plateau to the Berlin glacial valley from the Hasenheide to the southeast. If you drive on Hermannstraße from Flughafenstraße to Hermannplatz , you “roll” down this slope, as it were, which continues its course between Hermannstraße and Karl-Marx-Straße . Today's Rollbergsiedlung , a few hundred meters south of the former inn, also bears the name of the Teltowhang.
The Rollkrug at the southeast end of today's Hermannplatz, the historic intersection at Rollkrug , was initially the only building in the wider area and served as a horse changing station with an inn on the edge of the Neukölln core district of Rixdorf . Only long after Rixdorf had become popular as a place of amusement in the early days of the company - Theodor Fontane described fair and stall life in the novel Irrungen, Wirrungen - the long anachronistic building was demolished in 1907 . The replacement building, a five-story office and commercial building, has been a listed building since 1988 .
Even before the Rollkrug , other predecessor buildings probably existed at this place under different names - an inn is occupied for 1543.
