The eagle frame in the Berlin district of Treptow-Köpenick is the longest street in Berlin at 11.9 kilometers. It leads from the Niederschöneweide district to the Schmöckwitz district on the southeastern outskirts. The Görlitzer Bahn runs parallel to the eagle frame .
Naming
The name is an ancient one. It is known that the term "frame" for the sculptured in the forest glade way of Forestry was used, was transported over the felled timber. This word meaning still lives on in the hunter language today. It is not known where the suffix “eagle” comes from. The etymology refers to eagles on tree trunks that served as a guide for the Prussian king when he for Castle King Wusterhausen rode. However, it can also refer to the same root as the name of Gut Adlershoff, the namesake of the Adlershof village , which is now a Berlin district on the Adlergestell.
It is rumored that the eagle frame was formerly called Kurfürstenweg or Reichsapfelstraße , because the trees that border it were decorated with an apple and an eagle at the time of the elector. At that time the street began in Berlin on Alte Jakobstraße , ran along Köpenicker Straße , through the middle of the Cölln Heath and past today's Berlin-Grünau train station .
course
Today's eagle frame begins as a continuation of Michael-Brückner-Straße (formerly: Grünauer Straße ) in Niederschöneweide at the overpass of the S-Bahn line to Spindlersfeld with lot number 73. The road here has six lanes as part of the B 96a and runs in a straight line about 5.5 kilometers via Adlershof to Grünau . It runs parallel to the Görlitzer Bahn , which is based on the eagle frame.
From the Grünau S-Bahn station , the road leads around 6.5 kilometers through the Berlin Forest to Schmöckwitz , the southernmost district of Berlin. There it ends with lot number 786.

The eagle frame is one of the most important arterial roads in the south of Berlin. During the GDR era, most of the road traffic from East Berlin ran south and west (to Dresden , Leipzig , Magdeburg ) via the Adlergestell in the direction of Schönefeld , until 1962 from Adlershof via Köpenicker Strasse and the Altglienicke district , then via the expressway opened in April 1962 (today: Am Seegraben) along the B 96a. Since October 1962 it has been possible to change from the B 96a at the Treptow motorway triangle to today's A 117 . The opening of the last section of the A 113 towards the Neukölln motorway triangle on May 23, 2008 relieved the load on the eagle frame.
Development (selection)
With the development of the settlement areas, residential houses were also built along the street. The essence of Schmöckwitz is particularly noteworthy. The transport links to Berlin through the parallel railway line, which has a train station in each of the districts mentioned, contributed to the settlement. Some of the preserved buildings are on the Berlin monument list, such as the Berlin-Schöneweide railway depot and the Niederschöneweide S-Bahn repair shop as well as parts of the Adlershof housing estate (between Adlergestell and Anna-Seghers-Straße). Furthermore, the factory building of Bärensiegel on the corner of Glienicker Weg , the old fire station , the street station and the school in Schmöckwitz as well as other residential buildings have been preserved as architectural monuments.
Bicycle traffic
On the eagle frame there is a damaged cycle path that has to be used and is criticized by cycle associations as urgently in need of renovation. It consists in sections of a 50 centimeter wide strip out of town, shared by bicycle and pedestrian traffic. According to the answer to a written question from MP Maik Penn (CDU) in 2019, traffic accidents on the eagle frame were particularly frequent in previous years, in which cyclists were injured, some seriously.
On June 30, 2020, the Treptow-Köpenick district office set up a pop-up cycle path on the right of the three lanes on a stretch of 2.5 kilometers between Sterndamm and Rudower Chaussee out of town .
