The Alt-Kaulsdorf street is a section of the B 1 / B 5 federal highways - which run on the same route - and is located entirely in the Berlin district of Kaulsdorf in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district . The street runs in a straight line in a west-east direction in two lanes separated by a green strip. It begins in the west at the road bridge over the Wuhle as a continuation of the Alt-Biesdorf road and ends in the east at the intersection at Am Kornfeld / Kressenweg. There it continues as Alt-Mahlsdorf .

It touches the historic village center of Kaulsdorf at its western end. Especially on the north side of Alt-Kaulsdorf, some evidence from the building period in the second half of the 19th century has been preserved and placed under monument protection. The New Apostolic Church Kaulsdorf and the grounds of the Vivantes Clinic Kaulsdorf are also located there .

History of the road

The east-west trade and military route between old Berlin and Frankfurt (Oder) , which was built in the 13th century, bore the historical names Chaussee nach Frankfurt , also Chaussee nach Berlin and Frankfurter Strasse (1922–1927). Its original route connected the village centers of Friedrichsfelde , Biesdorf , Kaulsdorf and Mahlsdorf , so it ran in a wave form in a west-east direction. In the 18th / 19th In the 19th century the traffic route was paved as a road , in the late 1920s the route was moved a little further south of the old village center and straightened. The street name given on July 26, 1927 refers to the history of the village.

With the emergence of Reichsstrasse in the early 1930s, Alt-Kaulsdorf became a section of Reichsstrasse 1 , which ran from Aachen via Berlin to Königsberg . Since 1940/1941 it shared a route with Reichsstraße 5 . In the GDR it was called F 1 / F 5 , since 1990 it has been called B 1 / B 5 .

The former trunk road served as one of the entry areas for the Red Army to conquer Berlin in April 1945.

After the political change , some commercial units and a shopping center were built in the southern area.

Buildings

The numbering of the parcels and houses follows the orientation numbering system ; on the north side are the odd numbers, starting in the west, on the south side the even numbers.

North side, house number range 1–113

The former Gutshof Kaulsdorf spreads out directly between the course of the Wuhle and the Dorfstrasse (numbers 1–11). Between 1782 and 1785 it was owned by the Berlin scientist Franz Carl Achard , who successfully tested sugar production from beets here. Since the 1920s, the site has belonged to the Schilkin company , which produces spirits in the numerous preserved historical buildings and is now in the third generation. The villa on the west side of the junction with Dorfstraße was probably the home of the landlord. The house Alt-Kaulsdorf 13 on the east side was the former village inn, which was built around 1850 as a plastered building in the late classical style . This is followed by a former cinema building (number 15: Volks-Lichtspiele), the New Apostolic Church (a converted peasant barn) and other listed buildings (numbers 21-23, 43). From here on, there are numerous residential buildings and commercial buildings that stand alone but are not part of the Berlin list of monuments.

The area of ​​today's Vivantes Klinikum Kaulsdorf (formerly: Krankenhaus Kaulsdorf) lies between numbers 65 and 93 . Its main entrance is at Myslowitzer Straße 45. Gardens with single-family houses follow to the eastern end of the street.

Alt-Kaulsdorf 14-18

In building no. 14-18 at the confluence with Chemnitzer Strasse, the “Götzes Berggarten” restaurant existed until 1922. The entrepreneur Otto Rechnitz bought the property and set up the Märkische Wachsschmelze here , where products for floor care, soaps, oils, perfumes and other cosmetic and pharmaceutical items were manufactured. The company existed until 1970. Then VEB Elektromechanik Kaulsdorf moved in and produced coffee machines until the political change . Today (2019) there is a Chinese restaurant here.

In the further course of the street there are some two to three-story town houses from the beginning of the 20th century. The house number 40 stands out as a building decorated with various ironwork, with the design of which the art blacksmith based here draws attention to his services. There is a shopping center with several supermarkets on property no . The traffic route climbs slightly up to the Barnim plateau and passes a large wetland around 300 m away. Its most famous element is the Kaulsdorfer Baggersee (today: Butzer See ), which is still a popular bathing water today, although bathing is forbidden to protect a drinking water catchment area . The last 400 meters on the south side of the street are part of the Berlin balcony and have been a landscape protection area since 2012 .
