The Schönstraße is a street in the Berlin district of Weissensee of Pankow . It has been proven that it has had this name since 1884.

Origin of name

It was named after the entrepreneur and soil speculator Gustav Adolf Schön . Who made a particular contribution to the development and expansion of Weißensee in the early days . The Hamburg entrepreneur family Schön, in particular his sister-in-law Albertine Amalie Schön, the cousin Amalie Schön and the banker Friedrich Martin von Magnus (1796–1869) supported Gustav Adolf Schön in financing his economic activities. In 1872 he bought the Weissensee manor. Between 1872 and 1874 the land was parceled out and most of the land was sold. With Hermann Roelcke (1832–1896), Ernst Gäbler and the Busse & Co. bank, Schön founded a construction company. In 1874 he moved to Paris and previously founded the "Weißensee Actien-Gesellschaft". He sold the remaining properties and made a substantial profit on the capital employed. Not only as a member of the Prussian House of Representatives did he influence the choice of names for the streets, which was quite common at the end of the 19th century. Several streets in Neu-Weißensee , which was laid out on the former estate and in 1880 as a rural community in the Niederbarnim district , were also named after Schön's family members or partners.

The description in the 1940 address book for the namesake reads: "Schön, a Hamburg wholesaler, bought the Weissensee manor in 1872, wrested it from its agricultural purpose and placed it in the interests of speculation for houses and housing."

location

Schönstrasse is located between Mirbachplatz and Rennbahnstrasse on Pasedagplatz . The road is 1070 meters long and is 19 meters wide across the road, the width between the property boundaries (according to Plan 4323 from 1928) is 28 meters. The change in the development history of the street can be recognized by a kink at the intersection with the Große Seestrasse. The road from the south seems to lead towards a single-storey brick building. The street axis is offset 15 meters to the west and the further course of Schönstraße to Rennbahnstraße is twisted by almost 30 ° to the west.

Since planning and construction, Schönstrasse has been facing northeast almost parallel to the more western Roelckestrasse. Parkstrasse to the east is the parallel connection from Berliner Allee but approaches to the north to Schönstrasse to the width of Pasedagplatz .

On the map of Berlin with the Weichbilde (1882), a street in the route of Schönstrasse is still unnamed and leads from Cuxhavener Platz to Große Seestrasse , which in turn is only named to Parkstrasse. At this point in time, only a plot of land near Mirbachplatz (then Cuxhavener Platz) was built on. The streets of Neu-Weißensee to the south, closer to Berlin's borderline, already bear their names on this map.

Before the designation Schönstraße was applied to the existing road, the section of Gäblerstraße between Cuxhavener Platz and Rölckestraße was called Schönstraße. Gäblerstraße was declared publicly between Anton- and Cuxhavener Platz in autumn 1875 and extended across the square in 1876 by including the existing Schönstraße.

The rural community of Neu-Weißensee ended before the merger in 1905 on Rennbahnstraße. Beyond a street grid was indicated on maps crossed parallel to Rennbahnstrasse, with Schönstrasse having found a continuation. Obviously the construction boom subsided and no property buyers were found in the direction of the sewage fields. Rather, since 1908, with the industrial railway and the "Industriebahnhof Weißensee", businesses gradually settled. A continuation of the Schönstraße over the Rennbahnstraße from Pasedagplatz to the freight yard Weißensee (west side) and further north to Roelckestraße was created and was called the extended Schönstraße. As a street, this initially remained undeveloped. Industrial companies reluctantly settled there and in 1927 it was named An der Industriebahn .

From the 1920s to the mid-1940s, the tram drove through Schönstraße from Rennbahnstraße to Mirbachplatz (further on Pistoriusstraße, Hamburger Platz, Gustav-Adolf-Straße). The single-track railway line coming from Rennbahnstraße (there in the central position) was in the northern part of the street on the east side, had a double-track passing point on the Große Seestrasse and changed to the western side of the street. At Schönstrasse 5 and 90, the double-track continuation began over the northwest of Mirbachplatz to Pistoriusstrasse. In 1945, shot-up and damaged tram cars were parked on Schönstrasse.

numbering

The counting of the plots in horseshoe numbering starts at Mirbachplatz on the southeast corner with the number 1 and continues on this side to 50 on Rennbahnstraße. The cross streets are: Paul-Österreich-Straße (17, 18), Amalienstraße (28, 29), Blechenstraße (33, 34), Große Seestraße (40, 41). The countdown from numbers 51 to 91 addresses the northwest side. Blocks 58a – 58c are located on Grosse Seestrasse (but Grosse Seestrasse 108a – 108d is directly on the crossroad), the counting continues with 59 on the corner of Amalienstraße with the number 70a. This is followed by the Weißensee cemetery (75) and the Weißensee Park Clinic (80) as well as the polyclinic (formerly Schönstrasse Hospital) with the number 90, the first aid reception area behind it as property 91. The new building closes up on the north of Mirbachplatz Schönstraße 97 is right next to Gäblerstraße 2.

In 1894 the address book shows Schönstrasse with the consecutive numbering “1 a.Cuxhavener Platz”, “zw. 56 and 57 Amalienstraße "and" 97 a.Cuxhavener Platz "added. In 1900 the following changes were made in the address book: Plots 2–6 and 9–10 built on with six-party apartment buildings, 51–60: Kirchhof der Gemeinde Neu-Weißensee (part of Roelckestrasse 47–51), the hospital and horse market continue to exist, 71–73 is the new building of the hospital of the Patriotic Women's Association, 77 is shared with the construction site 77a of master locksmith Röstel, at number 12 there is a nursery of the Weißensee construction association in liquidation, the latter also owns the construction sites on plots 7/8, 11, 13-50 .

Adjoining plots

For a long time the development of Schönstrasse was limited to the southern section, including the hospital, horse market and cemetery. In 1900 a development was planned by the Bauverein Weißensee. The route of a continuation in the north over the Rennbahnstraße and the border of Neu-Weißensee is included in the large traffic plan for Berlin and its suburbs from 1900. The building association went into liquidation and the housing project was canceled. With the merging of the village of Weißensee with Neu-Weißensee in 1905, the town charter was also to be applied for and additional municipal equipment was necessary. The district court prison was designed in 1902 by the architects Carl Tesenwitz and Erich & Friedrich Möckel and completed in 1905. The building is included in the Berlin list of monuments as an architectural monument. The municipal cemetery Weißensee from Roelckestrasse with its back at Schönstrasse 71/78 is registered as a garden monument. The cemetery wall on Schönstrasse was renovated in 2014. Another garden monument is the Kreuzpfuhl park with its bank terrace , which Carl James Bühring designed and built in 1910 on behalf of the municipal administration.

The further development of the Schönstraße took place on the open area on the Amalienstraße with the Holländerviertel . This quarter with clinker brick buildings and staggered house facades in the square between Schönstrasse and Woelckpromenade has a Dutch style. The block of flats with six-party houses was built as part of the creation of the municipal district as the Weißensee city ​​center ; the listed ensemble was built between 1907 and 1938. The square with the Dutch houses of Pankower Heimstätten GmbH was built in 1925–1929 and includes Woelckpromenade 25–35, Amalienstraße 20–22, Schönstraße 16–28 and Paul-Oestreich-Straße 5–8. After the change of ownership to the Gemeinnützige Siedlungs- und Wohnungsbau Ges.mbH, the three-story residential buildings (29-40) north of Amalienstraße across Blechenstraße to Große Seestraße on the east side of the street were built in the mid-1930s. On the west side and in the part of the street to Rennbahnstraße only individual plots were built on.

The development in 1939 (according to the address book from 1940) begins at Mirbachplatz with Schönstrasse 1, a tenement house owned by master baker G. Gutenmorgen with 20 tenants. This is followed by number 2-6 private apartment buildings, after a smaller residential building (7) is the entrance to the park and property 8 does not exist. Other private rental houses are No. 9, 10 and 11/15, the non-profit settlement u. Housing G.Bln.mbH (in NO 55) includes the three-storey residential buildings 16–40 (including the Holländerkarrè buildings . Between 17 and 18 Am Realgymnasium (→ Paul-Oestreich-Straße) connects , between 28 and 29 it crosses Amalienstraße and Blechenstraße opens between 33 and 34. The property 37 does not exist, the eight-party houses 37a-37k protrude one square from the street. House 40 is on the corner of Große Seestrasse on the north side of which is the district court on Schönstrasse 41/42 (belongs to Parkstrasse 71). The other plots 43–48 are undeveloped, to Rennbahnstrasse there are two cooperative houses (eight heads of household, general housing association eGmbH from SW 63 Wilhelmstrasse III) as numbers 49 and 50.

On the western side of the street south of Pasedagplatz and Rennbahnstraße are the three-story apartment buildings 51 and 51a. While 52 is undeveloped, (53, 54) two housing estates (with a head of the household) and again undeveloped land (55–58c) follow. After crossing Große Seestraße there is a corner house Schönstraße 59 / Große Seestraße 23/24. A single house (businessman H. Plettner from Spandau) at number 60 closes the development in front of the open space 61-67, 69, 70 interrupted by the eight-family apartment building (with attic) Schönstraße 68. The cemetery from Amalienstraße on 71-77 (to Roelckestraße) is covered 48–51), the horse market is still registered in 1940 on the property of the city of Berlin (78–84), on property 85/86 of the city of Berlin there are seven barracks (three were uninhabited in 1939, they stand parallel to the street in the depth of the property). The municipal hospital Berlin-Weißensee stood on the municipal property (87-90). Finally, there are residential and tenement houses on Schönstrasse 91–97. The depth of the property is 90 meters, decreasing to 30 meters, so there are outbuildings in the rear, and at number 95 a coal shop. The residential building on property 97 has a side wing at Gäblerstraße 2.

This development situation from 1939 still existed in the 1950s, with the exception of the destroyed residential building at Schönstraße 97 on Mirbachplatz. The existing vacant lots on the other side of Amalienstraße were closed with four-story residential buildings around 1960. The gaps were closed by various workers' housing cooperatives (AWG) with Q-type buildings, also in brick construction. The residential row 43–47 with its four-storey masonry construction is set back from the street front with the front garden. Number 48 is missing, but house 48a has been adapted in the same style to the existing houses 49 and 50 with three floors. There are three residential blocks of the same type on the northwest corner of Große Seestrasse (Schönstrasse 57–57b, 58a – 58c), and number 58 is a small additional building. The third row of four residential buildings belongs to Große Seestrasse. Plots 64/65 remained undeveloped and form a 1500 m² green area. The house 68 (three-story plus attic), which has existed since the 1930s, has been integrated into the street front of the four-story.

After 1995 the "old" hospital, which was reconstructed in 1987/1988, was closed; it was built before 1900 at the instigation of Heinrich Feldtmann - the first community leader since 1880 - through donations from the Patriotic Women's Association. When it was closed, it was transformed into a medical center (polyclinic, now MVZ ). On the property (the former horse market), the Park-Klinik Weißensee was built in 1997 as a modern hospital and partner clinic of the Schlosspark-Klinik in Charlottenburg. In the 2010s, the gap at Mirbachplatz (Schönstrasse 97) was closed. For specialists and medical professions, practice buildings (doctors in the founding district) were built on the background pieces from 5–7 and 9–10 , and practice rooms were created, as well as commercial space. The access to the Park am Kreuzpfuhl via plot 8 remained, the new buildings 9-15 with 101 condominiums ( living at the Kreuzpfuhl by Bayerische Hausbau) opposite the Parkklinik (except the Holländerviertel) were built on an existing fallow area in the mid-2010s. The five-storey residential complex (three garden houses) has underground garages and a residential courtyard with different uses. With the new buildings and the gaps in the 1960s, Schönstraße reached its expansion status in 2015.
