The Amalienstraße is a street in the district of Weissensee in Berlin 's Pankow district . There is evidence that it has had this name since 1875.

Origin of name

The street in the rural community of Neu-Weißensee was named after Amalie Schön (1849–1890), a cousin of Gustav Adolf Schön . The street is located in the Gründerviertel - an area in Weißensee, whose streets and squares are named after people who made outstanding contributions to the development and expansion of Weißensee during the founding period . Amalie Schön was one of the financial supporters of her uncle Gustav Adolf Schön, who needed funds in January 1871 to finance his land speculation in Weissensee. These included his brother Anton Matthias (1837 until after 1913), his sister-in-law Albertine Amalie, the F. Martin Magnus bank and his cousin Amalie Schön. The road that had already been laid was declared public on September 17, 1875 . On the naming of the colonies and suburbs around Berlin was in the Empire , the influence by landowners and developers since 1870 quite common. Especially if they were the financiers for building the (initially) private roads.

location

Amalienstraße is between Albertinenstraße and Gustav-Adolf-Straße . It leads across Parkstrasse , Schönstrasse and Roelckestrasse and joins Günter-Litfin-Strasse in the west . Amalienstraße consists of four differently designed sections between the cross streets: Park and villa street, municipal district, between housing estates and allotments, between the cemetery wall and the school center with sports field.

history

In the 1860s there were arable land on the edge of Berlin's soft landscape (on the northern edge of Hobrecht's planning ) between the Chaussee to Bernau (Provinzial-Chaussee) and that in the Uckermark arable land of Gut Weißensee. The associated road houses are to Berlin. The Hamburg merchant Gustav Adolf Schön acquired the Weissensee estate in 1872 for 700,000  thalers . As a result, he parceled them out and sold them to various land speculators . This made it possible to develop northwards for Berlin citizens. First of all, Ernst Gäbler laid streets and residential buildings for the French Quarter southeast of the Königschaussee in the 1870s . The manor house on the south bank of the lake was converted into Schloss Weißensee with a park in 1859 . In 1874 the castle was converted into an entertainment venue. In 1877 the Berlin Trotting Club built the first Berlin trotting track. In 1872 the Berlin Ringbahn was laid and in 1875 the Weißensee station ( S-Bahn station Greifswalder Strasse ). On November 1, 1873, the first horse-drawn bus drove from Alexanderplatz to Weißensee, but it was discontinued after a short time because of the poor roads. At Schön's insistence, the rural community of Neu-Weißensee was created from the Weissensee estate in 1880. The Weissensee estate in Niederbarnim's district was deleted from the manor register in 1890. The district administrator refused to acquire city rights. In 1905 the union with the village of Weißensee was carried out.

Around 1880, Amalienstraße first connected Parkstraße with White Lake and met the northern end of Albertinenstraße, which led from Pistoriusstraße through the park. The route via the intersections of Roelcke-, Schön-, Gustav-Adolf-Straße and the connection to Generalstraße is mapped straight to the Heinersdorfer Flur . On the one hand, it delimits the northeastern edge of the burial ground of the Georgen community and forms the middle traffic route between Pistoriusstrasse and Heinersdorfer Strasse (Rennbahnstrasse). 100 meters west of Parkstrasse, the Graben flowed from the Weißenseer Pfuhlen (Kreuzpfuhl) to the Karpfenpfuhl as a tributary to the White Lake.

Up to 1900 there were only a few changes in the course of the road on the Kissling special map of the area around Berlin. Schönstrasse is extended to Grosse Seestrasse, the park area is being built on at the east end of Albertinenstrasse, and the gas station is laid out on two hectares at the southwest corner of Gustav-Adolf-Strasse . The northern edge of the cemetery of St. Georgengemeinde has been shifted 350 m to the southeast in order to pass through Gäblerstraße. South of Amalienstraße (between Schönstraße and Roelckestraße) the community cemetery (cemetery for Neu-Weißensee) has been laid out and to the north between Roelcke- and Gustav-Adolf-Straße the Segenskirchhof (cemetery of the Zions, Friedens and Gethsemane communities). Both cemeteries are located between the as yet undeveloped land and are not included in the census. The Weißensee horse market on almost 5 hectares adjoins the community cemetery off Amalienstraße. When building the Munizipalviertel as a community center, Amalienstraße is left out, with the exception of the houses on Parkstraße. Various road projects across and parallel to Amalienstraße are not being implemented.

In the 1894 address book, Amalienstraße is recorded in the location with consecutive numbering: 1 on Albertinenstraße, 3 and 4 on Parkstraße, 8 on Albertinenstraße. On the supplement to the address book for Berlin and its suburbs in 1907, Amalienstraße is named as such and runs from Albertinenstraße to the Weißensee-Heinersdorfer border. Along the local border on the Weißensee side there is a street that leads from Prenzlauer Chaussee via Wenzelstraße and the planned, yet unnamed Am Steinberg directly to Amalienstraße. A continuation of Amalienstraße in Heinersdorf to Kaiser Wilhelm Straße is shown as executed. The later routing of the Rennbahnstraße west to the Heinersdorfer Zentrum is only included as a planned connection, while the traffic routing of the Rennbahnstraße leads west to the trotting track to Malchower Weg . The official city ​​map of Berlin 1928 (sheet 4324) shows the route from Weißensee to Heinersdorf via Rennbahnstraße (sometimes only half the width of the lane). On the Heinersdorf side, the planned road from Am Steinberg closes before the industrial railway crosses over to the latter. The Heinersdorfer continuation of Amalienstraße has a projected total width of 36 meters and is implemented as a 4 meter wide path ( Straße 54 ). While the Große Seestrasse has a planned route, 120 meters of the route on the Amalienstraße beyond Gustav-Adolf-Straße is an unnamed road at the gas station and further a dividing line between two properties. In the course of this, Günter-Litfin-Strasse (formerly Amalienstraßen-Trasse) lies between housing developments (northeast around Obersteiner Strasse from the early 1930s) and the row houses in the southwest around Gäblerstrasse from the mid-1930s.

In contrast, the 1914 address book shows Amalienstraße between Albertinenstraße and Parkstraße with lots 1–4 and 5–8. In the 1925 address book, Amalienstraße from property 1, owned by the City of Berlin, is listed on Parkstraße and back to number 7 on Albertinenstraße. The 1927 address book lists Amalienstraße across Parkstraße to Schönstraße, numbered. For 1935, Amalienstraße from Albertinen- to Gustav-Adolf-Straße is finally included in the address book. In 1943, on the north corner of Schönstrasse, on plots 9 and 10, the block of flats added to the Holländerquartier around 1937 (owner: Gemeinnütz. Siedlungs- und Wohnungsbau Ges.mbH, six-party houses). To the west of Schönstraße, one of the three properties facing Hunsrückstraße is inhabited, followed by two of the three properties on Amalienstraße that are inhabited as far as Bundebacher Weg and three more on Roelckestraße are still construction sites in 1943.

numbering

The properties on Amalienstraße are counted in the original horseshoe numbering . The numbering of the plots begins on Parkweg around the Weißensee (Ostend of Amalienstraße) with the number 1. The other plots follow on the north side (not always continuously) up to Gustav-Adolf-Straße. The last number is number 19 on Roelckestrasse, as the cemetery wall of the Segenskirchhof follows. On the south side of the street, the counting starts with 19a, the school center at Gustav-Adolf-Straße 66. In the further course of the street, allotments lie on the southwestern width of the actual road area and remain unnumbered at the edge of the Weissensee cemetery . Followed by 20–22 with residential houses in the Holländerviertel and the undeveloped lot 23 (parking area at the Goldfischteich), lots 24–26 east of Parkstrasse are built on. The undeveloped plots 27 and 28 are at the end of Albertinenstraße. The park, officially known as the Amalienpark, is located on these with a sweet chestnut tree and three park paths. Depending on how you look at it, the rest of the original parking area of ​​Schloss Weißensee (west of Albertinenstraße) or a newly created part of the park at Weißensee (on which the buildings Albertinenstraße 13 and 14 are no longer present).

After the amalgamation of the village Weißensee with Neu-Weißensee the town charter should be applied for as a suburb of Berlin. Some communal facilities had to be created for this. The buildings of the Munzipialviertel around the Kreuzpfuhl were erected between 1907 and 1938 and are included in Berlin's list of monuments as the “Community forum on the Kreuzpfuhl with community buildings, residential and tenement houses and open spaces”. Due to the similarity with Dutch buildings, the block development between Schönstraße and Woelckpromenade, which also includes residential buildings on Amalienstraße (9, 10, 20, 21, 22), is also referred to as the “Dutch Quarter”.

In 1920 the rural community Weißensee was included in the administrative district Weißensee in Greater Berlin . Plan 4324 (from the official map series “City Map of Berlin”) from 1928 shows a 33.8 meter wide route with 18.8 meters of road from the corner of Weißen See (Albertinenstrasse) to Parkstrasse. On the north side is the building of the welfare home (No. 1, became a day care center ) and to the corner building 4 with Parkstraße 31 there is a parking area on property 3. On the south side, lots 24-27 are built on with rental villas, with 26 and 27 on the planned street 236 , Amalienstraße 28 is a vacant plot of land that is merged with Albertinenstraße 13/14. The following section to the Woelckpromenade is a path on the edge of the goldfish pond, a road almost 50 meters wide is only laid out. The corner houses on Amalienstraße 5 and 28 belong to Parkstraße 82 and 83. To the north is the planned street 233 and to this the designated plots 8-10 are fallow. Opposite are the brick buildings typical of the municipal district, Amalienstraße 20/21/22, in a block to the south. The "Friedhof der Gemeinde Weißensee" is located on the southeast of the 18.8 m wide projected road on a total width of 27.8 meters, of which, however, only the northeast half of the roadway is executed. While the cemetery has no numbering to Amalienstraße, 11–19 undeveloped plots of land on its northeastern part of a planned settlement with street 52 (Hunsrückstraße) and street 51 (Bundenbacher Weg) go towards Große Seestraße . In the following section to Gustav-Adolf-Straße the street is not developed and has no property allocation, but is named. On the north-east side the cemetery of the Segenskirchengemeinde borders and to the south-west (also unnumbered) the "Kleingarten-Kolonie Weißenseer-Großbauern" extends to the route of the (nonexistent) Gäblerstraße . The continuation of a southern lane width at the gas station over Gustav-Adolf-Straße is drawn, but unnamed, and is only noted as a plot of land to the Heinersdorf district boundary.

On Amalienstraße and Albertinenstraße there are various institutions sponsored by the municipal administration or by charitable institutions.

  • Site of the Stephanus Foundation founded in 1878 (Albertinenstraße 18/19)
  • Amalienpark (Amalienstraße 27/28): At the corner of Albertinenstraße there is a 2.10 meter high sculpture of a construction worker (“ rubble woman ”) by Eberhard Bachmann as “art in public space”.

  • Cemetery of the Segenskirchengemeinde (formerly: burial place of the Zionsgemeinde)

The “Park at the Kreuzpfuhl and Goldfischteich” Woelckpromenade 6 and Amalienstraße are listed as garden monuments in the Berlin list of monuments. The residential complex Woelckpromenade 25–35, Amalienstraße 20–22, Schönstraße 16–28, Paul-Oestreich-Straße 5–8, designed by Joseph Tiedemann and built in 1925–1929, is an architectural monument as a whole in the Holländerviertel. The 10th elementary school in Weißensee was commissioned by the Weißensee District Office in 1928 and designed by the architects Reinhold Mittmann and Willy Ernst Schade (sculptors). With the location Amalienstraße 5-8, it is also a Berlin monument.
