The Simon-Dach-Strasse is a scale in the late 19th century street , located in the Berlin district of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg , the district of Friedrichshain is. In 1903 it was named after the German song writer Simon Dach . Together with the neighboring traffic routes Wühlischstraße, Boxhagener Straße , Krossener Straße and Gabriel-Max-Straße, it forms the area known as Simon-Dach-Kiez , which has developed into the preferred tourist mile since the 2000s. Numerous clubs, restaurants, hotels and guesthouses as well as trendy bars have settled in these areas.
Location and history
The Grundstücks-Aktiengesellschaft Berlin-Mitte had the street laid out as street 14 on the basis of the development plan , department XIV . It was in parts (parcels 1–7 and 35–46) in what was then the suburb of Boxhagen-Rummelsburg , while the numbers 8–34 belonged to old Berlin . On September 15, 1903, both parts were given their current name Simon-Dach-Straße. The traffic route runs in a south-north direction from Boxhagener Strasse to Revaler Strasse. It crosses Grünberger Strasse , Kopernikusstrasse –Wühlischstrasse and Krossener Strasse . Initially, Simplonstrasse also branched off from Simon-Dach-Strasse at the intersection of Kopernikusstrasse and Wühlischstrasse to the southeast. In the 1970s, however, the Simplonstraße was swiveled slightly northwards at the confluence and has since merged into Wühlischstraße.
Several private individuals, factory owners, trading companies or wealthy craftsmen had multi-storey rental houses built here in quick succession. In 1912, Simon-Dach-Straße already had 46 built-up lots with more than a thousand apartments.
The Wilhelminian style houses were largely preserved during the Second World War , and although they were structurally changed several times, they are still standing. After the fall of the Wall , many residential buildings went back to the former homeowners or their heirs. They have been modernized and renovated. So it happened that from the second half of the 1990s, the once quiet residential street became a lively café, pub, restaurant and bar mile . A few smaller designer shops have set up shop next to them.
Like the neighboring streets, Simon-Dach-Straße has since been subject to increasing gentrification . In summer there are around 1900 open-air seats in around 20 restaurants. This was favored by the very wide sidewalks, the trees and the traffic calming.
The residents' initiative Die Aufgeweckten was founded in March 2002 due to ongoing problems between the residents and the restaurant operators due to disturbances at night . It enforced a restriction on beer garden operations for the section of street between Kopernikusstraße and Boxhagener Straße : on weekdays until 10 p.m. and on weekends until 11 p.m., except for a few pubs with special permits. In the meantime, these restrictions have been neglected or largely lifted by the pubs, so that outdoor operations continue into the early hours of the morning without the police or the public order office intervening. Because of the complaints of the residents, the district office temporarily tried to calm down the party-goers by using pantomimes . But that hardly had any effect. Finally, the fair.kiez initiative was founded around 2015 , consisting of representatives from the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district office, the tourism industry and the Coopolis planning office . She had some short films made to sensitize the visitors for more consideration, more calm and correct waste disposal. In addition, regular neighborhood meetings take place between the tradespeople and residents, in which suggestions for improving the situation are presented and discussed. Mediators also ensure that the neighborhood is to be retained as a tourist attraction with solutions that are compatible with the city. In 2016, for example, there were 3.9 million overnight stays in the district and an estimated 1.4 million visitors. The Berlin Senate provided the district with 40,000 euros to implement the measures .
In order to curb the through traffic between Stralauer and Frankfurter Allee, the section between Grünberger and Boxhagener Straße was converted into a one-way street in 2005 .
particularities
The soldier and resistance fighter against the Nazi regime Rudolf Paetzold (born November 24, 1919, † January 16, 1944) lived in house number 33 . A memorial plaque has been on the building since the 1980s.
