At Treptower Park is one of the main traffic axes in the Berlin districts of Alt-Treptow and Plänterwald . It is part of the federal highway 96a and runs along the eponymous Treptower Park , which was created in the 19th century . Until 1909 it was called Köpenicker Landstrasse, and at the beginning of the 20th century it was popularly known as " Tiergartenstrasse of the Southeast" because of its magnificent villas .

course

The street begins in the north as an extension of the Puschkinallee at the level of Bouchéstraße and runs in a southeastern direction along Treptower Park. To the south of the park at the level of Bulgarische Strasse , it continues as Köpenicker Landstrasse. The northeast side of the street from Puschkinallee to the western rail bridge of the Berlin Ringbahn belongs to Alt-Treptow. The house numbers are arranged according to the principle of horseshoe numbering . Thus the plots 1–8 and 14 also belong to Alt-Treptow.

history

The road is part of an old trade connection that has existed for many centuries and leads beyond Köpenick to Fürstenwalde / Spree , Frankfurt (Oder) and Silesia . However, its development is closely linked to the Berlin trade exhibition that took place in Treptow in 1896. In preparation for this major event, the entire district developed, and this street was also paved in 1895 . With the creation of the park, magnificent houses and villas were built along the street from 1904. They were extremely comfortable for the time and had a parquet floor , loggias and bathrooms with hot water. Sometimes there was a stately staircase and a second entrance for the service personnel. There was also an elevator and garbage disposal in many of the houses . The apartments often had six to eight rooms and attracted a correspondingly wealthy clientele .

In addition to the residential buildings, there was also production along the street. One example is the company Moosdorf & Hochhäusler , which from 1896 onwards produced facilities for bathrooms and provided work for around 1200 people. Moosdorf acquired plots 21 to 24 and built a building at number 24 in 1910. The adjacent Moosdorfstrasse still reminds of him today. In the corner building with the number 21 in 1908 drew a grocery store , which until well after the turn of existence. Else Thalemann (1901–1981), daughter of the company's founder Moosdorf, lived in the house from 1908 to 1921, and she did a great job in plant photography .

In 1957 the first HO self-service shop in Treptow was built in house number 24. On the neighboring property with house number 25/26 there was a small residential building in 1873. Where today the Hans-Thoma-road runs, was created in 1895, the Park Restaurant of William Jacob , the 1,907-yard Victoria was replaced by. At the time of the Second World War , the area was used for emergency housing and then cleared. This lot was spared the properties of the numbers 28 to 30. From 1894 Emil Naglo produced dynamos , electric motors and telephone systems there. After a transfer of operations in 1897, the industrialist G. Feibisch set up a factory for carpet production on the site in 1904, which provided employment for over 1,000 workers by the end of the 1930s. After the Second World War, an apparatus and container construction company used the site, while in 1950 the Vorwärts-Verlag printing works in the rear building printed the newspaper of the Free German Trade Union Confederation Tribüne and the German Sportecho . The grandstand Druck GmbH was in this place by the end of 2003.

The house with the number 31 was built in 1888 as one of the first buildings as Villa Luise . The property owner Koppe named it after his wife. One building further is a yellow brick villa at number 32. It belonged to the Royal Horticultural Director Martin Hoffmann at the end of the 19th century . A post office moved there around 1918. In the 21st century it is the seat of the Embassy of Belarus . The building with the number 45 was built under the direction of Wilhelm Haupt and served as a youth hostel during the GDR period and as a residence for migrants after 1990 .

The barracks of Telegraph Battalion No. 1 was built by Wellmann and Luedecke between 1901 and 1904 and was expanded in 1906, 1912 and around 1935. It occupies house numbers 1 to 8 in the 21st century.
