For the most part, the street crosses a purely residential area. Only a few businesses and a corner pub can be found on the ground floors of the multi-storey residential buildings. The villa built by W. Bröker in 1891/1892 at Albertstraße 12 / corner Feurigstraße 24 - also known as the “Red Villa” - is a listed building . According to contemporary witness Paul Tollmann , the National Socialists conducted numerous interrogations and mistreatment of political opponents in the building in 1933.

Origin of name

The street was led after its layout in 1886/1887 as street 63 and got its current name in 1888 after the first name of the Schöneberg city councilor and mayor Albert Grix (1838–1913), a master blacksmith who lived next to the town of Schöneberg , which was independent until 1920, and part of his property left free to build the road.
